Well according to this poll is was Ron Paul by a landslide. In fact out of 43,931 users who voted in 8,020 cities 28,022 felt that Ron Paul was the winner of these debates. yet when you search the mainstream media the story is the exact opposite.

Hell, even on this biased site where the author calls Ron Paul "The 911-Truther-Isolationist Texas Troll" Ron Paul still got 64.13% of the votes in his poll.

How is it that people are so stupid that even though they feel different than what the media tells them they do they sit down and watch the bullshit show every evening at 6?

    From what I have read on the guy in the past, he seems the best man to get America going right. Being that your constitution is the primary law that all laws should be under the framework of and so many have fucked with it in the past - which is wrong, illegal and worrying - Pauls ideas on it appeal to me, even though I am not in favour of a written constitution in my own country.

    Who knows, he may even see that the position of president is reduced to standing up for and representing the nation and its values, rather than trying to impose their own personal ideals. This may create some dissonance for some but all too often, presidents and leaders think what is best for them is automatically best for the nation, when actually the reverse is true.

    If anyone doubts how the President is chosen in the U.S. this should shed some light on it.

    Its a fact. Sure, the people vote, but they vote on what the media has told them about the candidate. Telivision emphasises this. You only have to look at the debate poll results for Kennedy V Nixon for this. Those that watched it on TV said Kennedy won, those that listened on the radio said Nixon won. The media allows you to have the information that it wants you to have.
