		<description><![CDATA[I don&#039;t think I want to be flogged.  It has been awhile, but I recall there were several problems with that one.  Most appear fixed now.  But it wasn&#039;t just a few transposed letters, it was missing words, sentences that had grammar problems, run on sentences, run on sentences, excessive comma splices, run on sentences, et cetera...  ;-)

I should find a private way to dispatch corrections directly to the editor.

		<description><![CDATA[You guys keep ignoring &lt;a href=&quot;http://thecarolinapatriot.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Paul&#039;s straw poll win in North Carolina&lt;/a&gt;. Proof he is not just big among &quot;tea party conservatives, home schoolers and extreme right-wingers.&quot; Nearly 20% of the voters here claimed they are Independent.

Republicans hear Romneycare is Obamacare and they won&#039;t vote for Romney. Period. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.chicagonow.com/chicago-political-commentary/2011/10/priceless-debate-moment-obamacare-modeled-on-romneycare-and-actually-suggested-by-newt/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Why hasn&#039;t this been explored more in the debates?&lt;/a&gt;

Because it would immediately blast &quot;their&quot; most wanted bagman out of the race. Softball questions with canned answers that some of the more challenged candidates still screw up, ahem, Perry, Bachmann, and Cain. Oh well, that&#039;s showbiz!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Good riddance! Those scared types have had too much influence for far too long!

I love how you confuse strong national defense with maintaining a global empire. How very corporate media of you.

I wrote a piece once about those that refer to those opposing US forces as &quot;Islamo-fascists.&quot; It&#039;s a make believe term. They would better be referred to as theocrats. But that isn&#039;t scary sounding enough to get the emotional response desired to block sound reasoning. Point of the article was to never trust anyone throwing around the term &quot;Islamo-fascists&quot; because they are dealing in propaganda and not truth.

Paul would end the worthless wars of conquest and nation building. We can&#039;t close the borders of Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, etc. or even our own borders right now. Maybe 130,000 troops from Afghanistan would help seal up that porous southern border of the USA?

Now that&#039;s national defense!

We can&#039;t let the Mexican cartels continue to slay people along our own border. They are coming 50+ miles inside the USA and killing without any justice.

Not to mention all that soldier pay going to bolster local southern US markets instead of Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Kuwait markets.

Call me naive, say I don&#039;t understand the defense realities/responsibilities of a superpower. Whatever. The reality is we won&#039;t be a superpower for much longer if we continue this military empire. And the responsibility of the US government is to it&#039;s citizens, not the world.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I second your sentiments Mr. Lynch towards editorialists on this site who seem to have a propensity for submarining Ron Paul by using overly animated descriptors of the candidate&#039;s supporters; ie. such as your &#039;rabid&#039; example. / : &#124;  

It&#039;s one thing to analyze polls, campaign strategies  etc., but another to add that extra negative bias towards Paul as a candidate and his supporters. 

There&#039;s far worse than Ron Paul running for the Republican nomination yet seemingly the don&#039;t get the &#039;jabstick&#039; as intensely as him on a routine basis. 

What&#039;s up CHB...?!

I’ll settle for that.

		<description><![CDATA[Hilton obviously got the DNC memo about keeping Democrat voters in line, so they don’t stray from voting for pro-war Obama.  Hilton is failing.

“…an 11/22 Poll from Iowa shows Ron Paul leading the field with 25%.  Most polls do not take into consideration disenfranchised Democrats or Independents whom will ultimately push him over the top, says the Blue Republican page.  ‘Thousands if not hundreds of thousands are registering Republican (from Democrat or Independent) just so they can partake in his nomination.’

“The Blue Republican movement is in favor of all those who must register Republican for a day in order to vote for Ron Paul, respectively, in their states closed Primary.  Ralph Drees from the Blue Republican Facebook page expresses his views, ‘I used to support Dennis Kucinich, and we have many Kucinich supporters helping. Iowa and New Hampshire are good states for this. Even if they only support in the Primary, they won&#039;t support Obama. They will stay home first, just like Ron Paul supporters would.  Roughly half of the Kucinich supporters I talk to are going Red for a day.’”  (Author: Jack Cole, The Examiner, 25 Nov 2011)]]></description>

What&#039;s next? &quot;New Hampshire doesn&#039;t represent mainstream voters&quot; &quot; Colarado has always had a Liberterarian culture&quot; &quot;Californians just want the power of the state respected again&quot; and on and on until he wins and all you &quot;corrupted by the system&quot; journalist should either go home or start doing your role of keeping government in check. Not propping it up and hiding its crimes, I&#039;m sick of this and so are all Americans.

Tyranny dominates most of human history until the constitution was written and followed for 100 years. Then corruptness  of Europe and its bankers won in 1913. It&#039;s time we take our country back and vote Ron Paul in. America is waking up and their country is being taken back. End the Fed! End crony capitalism! End the welfare state!

		<description><![CDATA[Mr. Hilton,

It is funny that you and many other &quot;status quo&quot; political pundits can&#039;t resist the temptation to sprinkle derogatory words or phrases into articles about Ron Paul.  This pathetic attempt to downplay his accomplishments this election cycle is really rather childish.  By adding the word &quot;rabid&quot; in front of supporters in your first paragraph, you instantly lost credibility.  You could have made your point, without the use of that word, instead, you showed a bias that weakened your entire argument.

A a fifty something, retired military officer who is very concerned about the direction this country has taken under both political parties during the past two decades, I count myself as one of Ron Paul&#039;s millions of &quot;rabid supporters&quot;.  I am pretty sure that Mr. Romney would love to have millions of &quot;rabid supporters&quot;. If he did, you wouldn&#039;t be writing this article about the insignifcance of Ron Paul&#039;s very real shot at a first place finish in the Iowa caucus. 

Sincerely,

Richard Lynch]]></description>
