Ron Paul attacks eclipsing the real issues?

Ron Paul in the latest polls is the leading front runner for the GOP presidential nomination. And of course, when you are the leading candidate the smear campaigns will follow. The mainstream media mostly ignored Paul, but now the claims that Paul is a racist have been on almost every media outlet. Although these attacks have increased, no one has attacked him on his policies. Michael Tracey, a journalist, joins us to give us some insight on these recent attacks for the presidential hopeful.

If you want the same ol same ol go ahead and vote for Obama and the other pundits. But if you want to bring America back to a country where you can be proud to say you're from, vote for Ron Paul.

I wish this guy were a better speaker because he's making good points. Ron Paul's policies and economics are brilliant! The newsletter story is just a distraction. Paul made a mistake as a publisher decades ago. He's not a racist homophobic conspiracy theorist. He is the #1 choice of minorities for the GOP race. Paul could easily win most every state. He's certainly got my vote!

@Internetkiddy Hehe, I am American and I AM voting for Ron Paul...I've been a supporter since the last election in 2008. We are fighting hard to convince others to see our way and day by day it seems we gain some ground. But you are right, there are a lot of people that still listen to the corporate media lies. So please don't list ALL Americans as dumb...but I may agree that a majority of the people may be if he does not get elected...but hey, he's doing great so far! Go NH!

america, you dont get it.. your so called "leadership" is leading us to ww3 and economic collapse. STOP THE WARS only ron paul has any credibility

Listen up America, am in freakin Africa and I support RON PAUL!!! Am Kenyan, from Obama's ancestral home, and I don't support him. Am not saying I didn't fall for the whole CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN thing, but I have since been informed. I know who the elite a.k.a status quo is.And now Kenya is in Somalia fighting a war that makes no sense at all and I suddenly realise how what happens in America affects me!! Please America, wake up and vote different, we are counting on you

[Internetkiddy]

America's people will go down as the dumbest people ever in history of humanity if they don't elect Ron Paul. How can anyone vote for someone else than him? How can you not recognize the difference between RP and all the other puppets!? I think you guys should learn from your mistakes and finally elect someone who makes sense. Wake the fuck up and stop listening to just Fox News, CNN and all the other mainstream media you fucking morons!

Close your eyes and vote for RP, can not be any worse, cause if you vote for Obama with your eyes open you just might get good ol rabbit outta hat, same ol tricks, fak ol those bullsh ters
