Ron Paul Supporters Are Angry At Media

A few days ago, Fox News and ABC decided that Ron Paul and Duncan Hunter did not have enough political support to be included in upcoming debates, so they didn't invite them. While Duncan Hunter is a good man, he lacks popular as well as financial support from backers. Ron Paul does have, at least, the financial backing of thousands of people that want to see him serve as the next President of the United States. For months, Ron Paul supporters have tried to keep his name, front and center, when it comes to political debate. However, the powers that be at Fox News and ABC News have decided that he has no chance to win in 2008 – so they have excluded him from future debate appearances on their networks.

Everyone that regularly reads this blog knows that I do not support Ron Paul for President. That said, Ron Paul's supporters are the most vocal in their support of a candidate and personally like people that do not support the party line and choose to think for themselves when it comes to U.S. elections. I have also written many times about my idea of Ron Paul running as an Independent for President. Why Ron Paul continues to support a party that doesn't like him is beyond me. Even if Ron Paul does not show up well in national opinion polls, he does have the resources and ability to move his candidacy to an Independent ticket where he would at least be playing on a even field.

As a non Ron Paul supporter, I can only image how much anger that people that support his candidacy for President must feel when major news networks like Fox, MSNBC, CNN and ABC decide to use polling data to exclude him from free debate time. At present it is only Fox News and ABC that are giving the boot to Ron Paul, but other networks are likely to follow in the near future. Anytime as presidential candidate decides to stray from the party line, they are looked upon as strange and also not having a chance to win on election day. I don't think Ron Paul will win either in the Republican Primary's and that is why I think he should take his campaign to a third party after today's Iowa caucus'.

Michael Bloomberg is considering a third party run for the White House and even though Ron Paul does not have the deep pockets of Bloomberg, he has proven on many occasions that his supporters are not only willing and ready to support him via the Internet and email, but also with much needed campaign dollars to keep his campaign afloat.
