If anything it add to his credibility, he is a threat to our corporate owned media's overlords.

See, that term pedo gets thrown around a lot.
Is a 16 year old guy having sex w/a 16 year old girl a pedophile?
If not, then how is a 30 year old considered a pedophile for doing the same thing?
I think y'all need to look up the definition for pedophile.

Lolwut?
That's not even true at all.
As someone who watches CNN/HLN/MSNBC pretty much 24/7 as i go about my day (mostly gaming) I will say CNN specifically talk about him a good deal. MSNBC has mentioned him plenty. Talking about his polls, libertarian this and that.
They also don't trash him nearly as much as the other "right wing hopefuls."
Idk, i honestly prefer RP than any other republican candidate hands down though. You should take that last comment with a grain of salt though.

Regardless if he wins or not, his inclusion in the race would shift the rhetoric to real issues. It's a win-win for America.

The press takes Ron Paul just as seriously as they did the last two times he ran for President. Which is not at all. His own party doesn't even take him seriously. Most likely cause he doesn't stand a chance in hell of winning.

The reason they don't take him seriously is because he have a feedback loop in the media and it goes like this:
Corporations -> Media -> Government -> Corporations
Ron Paul is a threat to the corporations who depend on government subsidies and legislation to reap huge profits off consumers and destroy their competition. These same corporations are also the sponsors/owners/affiliates of all of our major cable news networks, and not surprisingly the candidates themselves. So it is no surprise that they would portray him as some sort of fringe candidate, while talking up their other corporate sponsored candidates.

If his results running for president are like the last two times he ran nobody esp corporations, media, and Government see him as a threat to anything.
I'd actually like to see him win but I'm not gonna fool myself.

you know what i did in english class? I came to class stoned out of my mind every day, i chugged vodka in the back of class, i put dead fish in the ceiling tiles. i put a gallon of old milk and orange juice in the file cabinet before winter vacation. i brought snakes in a tied up sweater and let them loose during class. i didnt go to school to learn, i went because i had to. i didnt care, and i didn't fucking listen to that stupid bitch. and i still don't fucking care. i tore the pages out of her books and burned them, and threw away all the books in the class, two books per day.
