Ron Paul, the MSM and the Iowa Debate

Times doesn't mention him at all!!!

"The debate also featured US Representative Ron Paul of Texas, who renewed his call for more limited government (Boston Globe December 12, 2007)."

Pfffft!

"Paul launches health ads in Iowa, New Hampshire" by Foon Rhee/Boston Globe December 12, 2007

Republican Ron Paul, whose TV ads have been mostly biographical, turns to the issue of healthcare in his new spot. The ad, which will air in Iowa and New Hampshire, shows a narrator talking about a "big tug of war" on healthcare.

On one side are HMOs and drug companies, he says, as an image of a prescription bottle stuffed with bills appears. On the other side is government, which neglected injured Iraq veterans, the narrator says, as an image of a forlorn soldier sitting unattended in a hallway appears.

The narrator says: "I say we need Ron Paul for president. One, he's a doctor, he's seen it all. Two, he's got the right idea, take the power from big business and the bureaucrats and give it back to the patients and the doctors they choose. Now that's the right medicine."

The ad's message fits in with Paul's libertarianism, which has caught fire among some voters, especially on the Internet. But it doesn't speak directly to the issues that are the focus of the healthcare debate - how to cover more of the estimated 47 million Americans without health coverage, and how to make healthcare more affordable."

Gotta rip him every chance you get, right, MSM assholes?

The healthcare "debate" DRIVEN by BIG PHARMA and their MSM whores, Globe?
