Why does the news media get to decide Ron Paul's is out of the running?

I hadn't heard that. Actually, anyone can make that determination. It was true 4 years ago and it is still true.

He's the worst sellout of them all. He wants to go back to the gold standard, allowing people who hoard gold to become millionaires.

He wants to abolish the Federal Reserve Board. Without this agency the govt wold HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO POWER to regulate the money supply or interests rates. Its there to stabilized the currency. Without it the dollar would have been worthless and our social security system would have been bankrupt.

He wants to abolish the EPA, allowing polluters the chance to pollute with impunity.

He want to end the Dept. of Education so only the well-off will be able to read

He want to abolish the Americans with Disabilities Act which means going back to the days before accessible buses and street corners.

He want to repeal the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which means Whites Only cafeterias.

The man's a Bleeding Lunatic.

--Market Forces don't dictate fair policy. They never have and they never will. If they did Wall Streeters wouldn't have sold fraudulent mortgages. Only laws dictate fair policy. That's called govt. regulation Its a dirty word to the libertarians but its necessary.

And I'm sorry but I used to respect how Paul went after corruption in govt. However the more I see the more I see how corrupt HE IS. If I'm smart enough to know his ideas are crazy so is he. He does it anyway to make a name for himself, increase speaker fees and his book sales.

The Paulites are being lead down a primrose path and they don't even know it. They're very nice people but your also VERY naive!! Ron Paul is a performer and a conman

The polls did that. The media just reports. He's single digits like the last 4 cycles. The last sitting Congressman to win the Presidency rode his horse to the White House.

They haven't. The American people have. Look at the polls. And don't just look at Ron Paul's support among Republicans. Look at the % of Republican primary voters who say they will never consider voting for him. Everyone who is going to support him already does. He has no more ground he can gain. He's done

flavor of the decade yes

about three decades ago

he is now pee-paw, i would like to sit on his lap, and hear a story

they not only can't, they haven't. the MSM is drooling over his possible candidacy. but even the media is subordinate to the people
