Ignoring the Obvious

"What god desires is here (points to head) and here (points to heart), and what you decide to do every day, you will be a good man...or not."
--Hospitaler (Kingdom of Heaven)

The judge observes that even Jon Stewart commented that Ron Paul is being ignored as a serious presidential contender by mainstream media outlets (including Fox) despite his stellar performance in the polls thus far.

Ron Paul is a threat to Big Government, which means that he is a threat to both the Left and the Right, and to the venues that pander to them.

Stewart notes that Paul is "an ideologically consistent twelve term Congressman." Of course, the notion of consistency among politicians is in and of itself rare.

Rarer still is that Ron Paul 'ideology' involves protecting and upholding the Constitution. His consistency in this regard is unparalleled among his contemporaries in Washington.

This is despite the fact that every member of Congress (and the president and the supremes) takes an oath to do the same.

I keep hearing the talking point by old guard Republicans and mainstream media (MSM) that Ron Paul is “unelectable.” 

I never hear any facts or metrics to back that up.  So, to me, that is just code for not liking his message, or not liking him as a candidate. 

There were a few other people that were “unelectable” in the beginning of their campaigns.  Two that come to mind are Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama.
