I was a warmonger,voted straight Republican party ticket for 41 yrs! Eyes opened Now!!!!

All the other’s want to be KING!!!! Ron wants you to be King of your LIFE!;-))

;-)) Got My Vote!!! Dr. Paul 2012;-))

What was the last positive article abc wrote about Paul that didn’t question a third party run or talk about racist news letters? Wait abc is just a hit piece of shoddy journalism.

I was a warmonger,voted straight Republican party ticket for 41 yrs! Eyes opened Now!!!!
POSTED BY: NETNUT |***********41 yrs with the GOP, and NOW your eyes open??? No
wonder the GOP has always been screwed up. LOL !!!!

Paul can’t handle the pressure or Paul wants to eat breakfast in peace?

EPIC FAIL ABC. Responsible journalism should be a requirement. Having said that, Dr. Paul has my vote this year and anyone else who comes along 4 years from now who shares his ideas will have my vote as well.

DR. RON PAUL 2012 HAS MY VOTE

“Getting into his car, Paul was asked for his prediction at tonight’s debate.
Shaking his head and clearly annoyed by the whole experience, Paul mumbled, “nothing special.” ”

Haha, Ron is so cool! Media, let him eat breakfast at least, you can bash and smear later.

This makes no sense at all…The media acts like a circus act and floods a local restaurant, disturbing not only Paul, but tens of customers, and you guys accuse Paul of not being able to handle media attention?

What happened to professionalism ABC? Quit spinning news to influence the elections.

Ron Paul was so swarmed with people that he had to leave the establishment but the discussion you decide to cover is “The gays are unnatural” Lady? Volack you need to smartin’ up and cover the truth which is that Ron Paul is the one contender who doesn’t have his head buried in the sand about the downward trend of our once great country. Looks like you want to go down with the ship. Try reporting on the deep story and not the easy provocative slant

Show some professionalism, ABC.

It doesn’t matter what his personal opinion is about gay marriage. What does the constitution say?
If it is silent on it then it is a state matter. The federal government doesn’t exist to interrupt people’s lives and tell them how to live. Its about liberty people.

Also, to those that are trying to use the federal government to try to make others believe what you believe. Just remember, it can be used against you as well. There could come a day when the federal government tells you that you can’t have your religious liberty.
Treat others the way you yourself would like to be treated. Live your life well, be an example, don’t intrude in other people’s lives, it just doesn’t work.

It’s heatin’ up, folks!

Ron Paul 2012!
President Paul!
Ron Paul 2012!
President Paul!
Ron Paul 2012!
President Paul!
Ron Paul 2012!

I am a lifelong Democrat….however, if we absolutely, positively, just have to have a Republican at the helm come January…I hope it’s Ron Paul!!!!!

This article is poorly titled and written. Why does media love to promote the idea of politicians as Hollywood movie stars rather than provide substantive content?

Job opening.

Quit blaming the media for Ron Paul’s position in the polls. Ron Paul is not a republican and the GOP establishment doesn’t want him as a candidate. He should form a third party, get in the presidential debates and express his views; he then has a chance to win.

Santorum equates gay marriage to sex with children and sex with dogs. Just last week, this “Christian” vowed to bomb Iran and start the soon-to-be Iran War. That is scary, and that is DANGEROUS! What a hypocrite he is to call Ron Paul dangerous. We cannot afford another war, and the troops don’t want to fight another, which is why active military donate more to Ron Paul than all other Republicans COMBINED, and more than Obama.

Anyone who agrees with Santorum, you can go right ahead, fight and die, because I won’t. I’m continuing the fight for peace, prosperity and liberty via the Constitution. That means Ron Paul is the one and only candidate for me.

Why should goverment be involved in free individual decisions, such as who do you want to spend the rest of your life? Or who do you want to leave your money?

I think he answered the gay “gotcha question” perfectly.

“For Ron Paul, Media Attention Was Just Too Much”

“when the media circus became too much for the small mom and pop establishment to handle.”

Self-contradicting media. You may be relevant again……someday.

Give him a break. The man is special and he must really love this country to put up with the media. When he wants their attention, they comply he’s a nut. When they want his attention and he doesn’t act how they think he should, they still portray him as overwhelmed by the media. There is none better at getting his point across. His point hasn’t changed in over 30 years and the media treats him as if they don’t know where he stands. I pray to God that she let’s him win!

We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other’s happiness – not by each other’s misery. We don’t want to hate and despise one another. In this world there’s room for everyone and the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone.

The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way. Greed has poisoned men’s souls – has barricaded the world with hate – has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical; our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery we need humanity. More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost.

The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together. The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in man – cries for universal brotherhood – for the unity of us all. Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world – millions of despairing men, women, and little children – victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people. To those who can hear me, I say: ‘Do not despair.’ The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed – the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.

So Dr. Paul was trying to eat his breakfast before it got cold, but wasn’t able to because some rude lady had to interrupt his meal? And the press created a media circus why people were trying to eat? How rude of them. The things Ron Paul has had too much of includes the TSA, SOPA, NDAA, Patriot Act, War on Drugs, the soon-to-be Iran War and other foreign wars, the over-powered Federal government, and corruption that has become pervasive in Washington. Wake up to peace, prosperity, and liberty, vote Ron Paul.

Yet another anti Paul piece by the drones and status quo sellouts at ABC. I sure have learned the press is no longer trustworthy and will be looking for alternatives to the MSM in the near future.

For “Mainstream Journalists”, Truth And Liberty Are Just Too Much

What is this, ABC? It certainly isn’t news. Why don’t you just make the story, “ABC doesn’t want you to vote for or think about Ron Paul”?

ABC should have been reporting on the misbehavior of the media. People use to know how to behave in public. Lets start moving in that direction again. ABC acmonish reporters for acting like illmannered children

Who writes this drivel– Geraldo Rivera? Now Ron Paul is a disoriented, short-tempered curmudgeon? How long before they conjure up a sexual assault “victim” from his years as a medical practitioner– or are they saving that for after the primaries? Even non-Paul supporters I speak with are wondering about the blatant smear campaign against Dr. Paul. The fact is, he is the only candidate who has ALWAYS voted in line with the Constitution, and he has the voting record to prove it. In comparison, Romney’s voting record reads like a ping pong match. Read Dr. Paul’s views from his own words, and ignore the ignorant propaganda.

I’d settle for Ron Paul even if he would only be the 5th best president ever.

It never has been the job of the federal government to say who gets to marry. Did this lady not get that? Her state and her vote determine that. Not a beurocrat. Heck I would have left too. See media he is snubbing you now. Kinda nice to see that

Gee, the guy and his wife can’t even have breakfast without being inundated with the media.

The nut can’t handle the pressure!

Regardless of the headline they reported exactly what he said and what he said was exactly the right answer.Sure didn’t sound racist or homophobic to me.He answers everything LIKE A BOSS!
RP 2012 These young boys keep trying to box him in but wisdom comes with age .He is as classy throw back professional politician as you can get.Something this country could use a lot more of.
The govmnt cannot preach living within our means and morality until they themselves lead by example and who better to do that than Ron Paul ? Obama talked it but obviously doesn’t walk it Ron Paul lives it.

I Honestly like the negative headlines that include Pauls quotes they kill two birds with one stone.They get more attention and they highlight his actual beliefs…so keep up the good work abc reverse psychology I HEAR YA

Good Lord, what did he expect?!

We must recapture what it means to be free. By this I do not mean that we should all become policy wonks or waste our time studying the details of this or that political initiative or sector of life. I mean that we need to form a new approach to thinking about society and government, one that imagines that we can get along without such central management. We need to become more tolerant of the imperfections that come with freedom, and we need to give up the illusion that somehow putting government in charge of anything is going to improve its workings, much less bring on utopia…

To embrace the idea of liberty is not a natural condition of mankind. In fact, we are disposed to tolerate far more impositions on liberty than we should. To love liberty requires an act of the intellect, I believe. It involves coming to understand how all the things we love in this world were given to us under conditions of liberty…

We need to come to see government as it is, not as we wish it to be and not as the civics books describe it. And we need to surrender our attachments to government in every aspect of life. This goes for the right and the left. We need to give up our dependencies on the state, materially and spiritually. We should not look to the state to provide for us financially or psychologically…

Let us give up our longing for welfare, our love of war, and our desire to see the government control and shape our fellow citizens. Let us understand that it is far better to live in an imperfect world than it is to live in a despotic world ruled by people who lord it over us through force and intimidation. We need a new understanding of what it means to be a great nation; it should mean, as George Washington said, that our nation is a beacon unto the world, not that we conquer the world militarily, impose our will on everyone, or even remain number one in the GDP rankings. Our sense of what it means to be great must be defined first by morality…

We must come to imagine liberty again, and believe that it can be a reality. In order to do this, we do not need songs, slogans, rallies, programs, or even a political party. All we need is access to good ideas, some degree of idealism, and the courage to embrace the liberty that so many great people of the past have embraced…

Liberty built civilization. It can rebuild civilization. And when the tides turn and the culture again celebrates what it means to be free, our battle will be won. It could happen in our time. It might happen after we are gone from this earth. But it will happen. Our job in this generation is to prepare the way…

I am not a Ron Paul fan but this article was written with a clear bias against him as was the erroneous headline.
ABCnews, why has your journalism in general sunk so low lately. Typos, grammatical errors, sloppy writing and absolutely false headlines like this one. I find myself going elsewhere for real reporting.
Please turn away from the sensationalism and get back to real journalism. The country needs real news reported in an unbiased and accurate fashion.

You like Paul? Somebody else wants Santorum. Either way, it doesn’t make any difference. A lot of conservatives may want someone else, but they’ll go along with the ‘marriage’ their parents – I mean their party – has arraigned. Sort of like Clinton said, conservtives don’t fall in love, they fall in line. They’ll vote for Mitt and like it.

If ABC considers Ron Paul a top tier candidate why don’t they give him as much positive coverage as Romney is getting?

Garbage “journalism” at its finest!

I’m an African American who lived and saw the Civil Rights movement but I must admit I do respect Ron Paul even if some things I disagree. I would attend any class he was speaking he is the smartest in the group of candidates. The Debate on ABC cleared up when can hope to at lease give a great Debate with President Obama.

A shame that a candidate can’t even get a decent meal because of the disrepectful behavior of the press. They should back off and let the candidate eat for heavens sake. I really think Ron Paul is too old, too grouchy and not up the job of president. I also think he is a nitwit. But he deserves to have sustenance. The press is too pushy if a guy can’t have a few minutes to eat.

Who wouldn’t be annoyed if a rude mob of brain-dead zombies who bathe in cologne or bad perfume ruin a breakfast event? The reporters are making themselves the story. How can a country recover from this state of appalling behavior being accepted and promoted as normal and necessary?

I have no idea what this article is even trying to say. So I conclude that this is an obtuse article. Poorly written and hardly able to make the point clear. Is this an attack on Ron Paul? Even if it is an attack, then it is hardly worthy reporting.

All this article seems to reinforce is a vindication of being skeptical of the media.

Shameful.

No doubt he’d prefer to do his dealing and debating in some dark, smokey room somewhere in the back, right?

.

Ron Paul 2012. Go stick your corporate agenda, media.
.

I am a gay person, brought up by WW2 Christian parents and always said without perverting their good minds with perversions like Santorum’s and Perry’s focus on gay sex acts, but with love for family and children and each other as respectable adults. “Do not gve in to other’s judgements bew who you are how god created you and make something of yourself as we live your life ethically”
SO many families throw their gay kids out to suffer and die. I will support Ron Paul here in New York, NY as much as I can against these alternative non-Constitutionalist dangerous devils (Huntsman excluded for now).

I encourage people who don’t like the way the media is treating Ron Paul unfairly to start picketing the front of the stations with signs that call the media out on their bad behavior nobody likes a bully and that’s what they are doing. They pick on him treat him unfairly we all notice it heck even people voting for other candidates can see it they need be confronted we all have cellphone lets confront them if you see anybody on the news shopping out and about tell them they are a bully and they need to quit it they should be ashamed of themselves call them out. The media writes stories about how bullies are bad well they are bullying Ron Paul. It’s wrong and they know it.

Romney is down in the latest NH Polls, Dr. Paul is climbing…the Propaganda Ministry with their shills like @Volack are in full blown panic mode. New national polls show Dr. Paul beating Obama head to head. The giant is waking up………

Mr. Volack is servile to ABC, someone who has to write what he is told. Everyone watching can see through the smoke screen being created by mainstream media. Dr .Paul is in second position in the New Hampshire polls, but is virtually ignored the debates. This obvious ignoring of Dr. Paul as well as the sabotage of his microphone for his first answer was more of a debate that should have been sponsored by Pravda and not the network that brought us Nightline. Absolutely shameful!

The more the media acts like Wall-Street poodles, the more people will be determined to vote for Dr. Ron Paul. I too am a recovering neo-con who repented after Bush Jr. and voted Ron Paul last primary and wrote him in last election.

Some are slower to wake than others.

I think Ron Paul is one of the few candidates who (mostly) speaks how he really feels, how he would likely act. The only problem is that many (not all) of his ideas scare the pants off me. I respect his attempts at honesty in conveying his platform and what he has to offer.

Half of those reporters were probably from ABC.. and yet somehow that media coverage of him at the restaurant – where’s all the footage? Thank you for sucking ABC, you decide to follow Ron Paul for once and still clearly fail to capture his message.

Next time, do your job correctly.
