    I disagree when people say that it's ok for the media to ignore Ron Paul because he won't win anyway. It's pretty much circular logic. A candidate who gets minimal attention when the others get massive amounts of it has no chance to win. The debates aren't supposed to be a showcase for the frontrunner(s). Considering that Ron Paul did fairly well in the NH Primary (finishing 2nd), I'd say he's got a better shot at winning than Gingrich, whom he's outperformed in both Iowa and NH but Newt certainly wasn't ignored in the debate. I wonder if that has anything to do with CNN's liberal leanings and the fact that Ron Paul is a threat to take independent voters who voted for Obama in 2008 to a greater extent than most of the other Republican candidates?

    come on, mike...everything matters to me... ;)

    seriously, when did Dr. Paul last practice medicine...? (question stolen from Cincy in another thread)...and when he did, he didn't deal with the real world of medicine...I'm pretty sure he did except medicaid or insurance or both, I can't recall...based on that, his view about the current state of healthcare is skewed in my opinion...

    and Romney is not a one trick pony...he changes is views in mid sentence.... :lol:

    :lol:

    early 90's I believe

    as far as I know, he did not accept federal medicaid/medicare payments. He took the patients, not the payments. Pretty respectable I think.

    also, real world of medicine?

    real world of medicine means dealing with medicaid, medicare and insurance...we may not like it, but that's reality....

    and if you're saying he took patients and treated them for free without taking any payment, yes, that is respectable...

    well he did deal with the real world of medicine, he just didn't accept it as the way it needed to be. he didn't believe that it was necessary to do it that way and proved that he could have a successful practice without it.

    only two minutes long, not sure if you have seen it, but worth the watch. and Don't worry, it isn't him talking about ending the fed :lol:

    Hell Yes! I'm going to smoke a big fat joint and laugh my ass off. I'm also taking bets on weather or not Santorum will have the ashes from Ash Wensday still on his forhead during the debate. :lol::mrgreen:
