Because a lot happens on this pale blue dot
After sleeping off the frustration and anger cause by watching the GOP CNN/YouTube debate because of its obvious bias, I thought I’d give my personal breakdown of last nights events.
Let me start off by saying that regardless if you like Ron Paul or you hate Ron Paul, you cannot deny that CNN intentionally stacked the cards up against Ron Paul in an attempt (a poor one at that) to make Ron Paul look bad. Here is a breakdown of the debate last night and the time alloted to the candidates.
Just a quick update on Ron Paul.
Today, Ron Paul received more votes in the Georgetown County (South Carolina) Republican Party presidential primary straw poll than did Mitt Romney, Rudy Giuliani and John McCain. Congressman Paul was second in the poll. Fred Thompson placed first. According to a press release issued today by Georgetown County Republican Chairman Tom Swatzel, there were 223 total votes cast. He said, “For our first ever straw poll, I am pleased with the turn out. It was an enthusiastic crowd that was the essence of grassroots politics at its best.”
Here is how the vote panned out:
Fred Thompson | 102 votes
Ron Paul | 40 votes
Mitt Romney | 37 votes
Duncan Hunter | 15 votes
Rudy Giuliani | 13 votes
John McCain | 7 votes
Sam Brownback | 6 votes
Newt Gingrich | 2 votes
Daniel Gilbert | 1 vote
While most expected Thompson to come in first, it was refreshing to see Ron Paul come in second place. Now with his first place under his belt from New Hampshire, let’s see how he does in Iowa next month.

Unfortunately in American politics, if you want to run for any type of office you need to have a lot of money. Barrack Obama has already raised $32.5 million. Ron Paul now has $2.4 million dollars, while McCain sits at $2 million. I know what you’re thinking. Rudy Giuliani has $18 million in the bank, and Mitt Romney has $12 million. And on top of all of that McCain is still ahead of Ron Paul in the polls.
“I think some of the candidates are on the down-slope, and we’re on the up-slope,” said Paul.
