There are a number of Americans who believe that all those contending for the presidency -- Democrats and Republicans alike -- are bought and owned by big oil and the military-industrial complex. Except for Ron Paul. Which is why the US networks, including Fox, are totally ignoring him, even though he came second in the Iowa straw poll. Jon Stewart did a piece on this a few days ago.
If Americans really wanted to send a message to Washington, and to the media, they would put an 'X' beside Ron Paul's name, every time they get a chance. You may not agree with the man's politics, though he is right in much of what he says, but give him credit for being honest and not letting himself be owned.
For months and months, Ron Paul has been preaching the same lonely message about the Fed and the useless waste of money on the military industrial complex. Sometimes it appears he's the only one saying these things, but many Americans are finally starting to see that he's been absolutely right all along.
There is no greater evidence that America's politicians and America's media work for their corporate owners than their refusal to address the people's concerns about the Fed, big oil, Wall Street and war spending. Every American thank Ron Paul -- even if they don't vote for him -- for refusing to be ignored or silenced.
