No wonder they are reporting the top three are winning and it happens in both dem and repub debates . The media is selecting our candidates for us. Funny, I thought that was the voters job ?

Nasty Propaganda Radio mentioned about seven candidates, but continued its blacklisting of Dr. Paul. The Associated Press, equally slimy and dishonest, ran a story mentioning apparently every name, with special loving attention to Mario Giuliani -- I say apparently because I lost count since Giuliani was mentioned so often -- but continues its blacklist of Dr. Paul. Honesty and truth are strangers to the mainstream "news" media. Lovers of honesty in reporting and lovers of liberty will have -- as usual -- a tough time with the "news" media this year.

Ten is a (just barely) workable number of candidates... but with Fred Thompson, Alan Keyes, and probably Newt Gingrich getting in -- it's going to get crowded! I would bet that the networks start organizing debates between the top 5-6 candidates. I have a feeling that Ron Paul and some others will have a hard time getting into future debates.
