Establishment reverts back to pretending Paul doesn't exist

From rightly heralding the Iowa primary as a crucial indicator as to who will eventually capture the GOP nomination, the establishment has closed ranks and now decided that a Ron Paul victory doesn't count and that the focus will be on who finishes second.

A Politico article entitled Ron Paul panic seizes Iowa establishment perfectly illustrates the supreme arrogance of the very political elite Paul is fighting against and goes a step beyond Fox News pundit Chris Wallace's insistence that the Iowa result "won't count" if Ron Paul wins.

Despite the fact that two out of the last three winners of the Iowa primary have gone on to successfully capture the Republican nomination, the political class have decided that Ron Paul doesn't deserve the opportunity to build the same kind of momentum, and that a victory for him in Iowa "would do irreparable harm to the future role of the first-in-the-nation caucuses."

The hierarchy is so petrified at the possibility of a Ron Paul win that the state's own Governor, Terry Branstad, has pre-empted the result by urging people to ignore Paul if he secures a first place finish and instead concentrate on who comes second.

"People are going to look at who comes in second and who comes in third," said Branstad, adding, ""If [Mitt] Romney comes in a strong second, it definitely helps him going into New Hampshire and the other states."

As we have seen from the Republican race thus far, the identity of the frontrunner has changed several different times. Rick Perry, Herman Cain and now Newt Gingrich all saw their campaigns rise and fall dramatically. Ron Paul is the only candidate to slowly build momentum and not suffer any major setback.

Yes, it's true that Ron Paul's national figures are significantly lower than both Gingrich and Romney, but the Texan Congressman would have a very real chance of overturning that deficit if his potential victory in Iowa was treated with a modicum of respect, but the establishment are determined not to let that happen. This is why we are now seeing a deluge of whining "Ron Paul can't win" articles every day.

The establishment has gone all out to virtually sabotage the credibility of the primary weeks before it even takes place, terrified that a Ron Paul success could upset the apple cart of the two RINO establishment candidates.

In addition, the Politico piece floats the hoax that a Ron Paul win would ensure an Obama re-election, when in reality Ron Paul has the best chance of beating Obama out of all the Republican candidates.

Isn't it fascinating that the political class doesn't consider how Newt Gingrich, who is about as conservative as Mao Tse-Tung, would also cause "irreparable harm" to the reputation of the primary if he won? Their concern for the potential harm caused by a Mitt Romneycare victory is also notable by its absence.

Ron Paul has the most conservative voting record since 1937 – so why on earth should a Paul victory cause "irreparable harm" to Iowa?

His success in the state should be celebrated as a sign that the Republican Party is finally starting to return to its constitutional principles.

My lame attempt at identifying Paul Joseph Watson by Googling that name finds a British conspiracy theorist.  Is this the same guy? Last year, someone posted a list of the most influential television "journalists" in America and he put Chris Matthews at the top of his list.  It turned out that the author of that list was a British blogger who had only spent a couple of weeks in America and otherwise was forming his impressions based on what he read on the internet.

Ron Paul has a solid support floor and ceiling.  The American voters aren't willing to blow the system up because, if fifteen percent are unemployed, then eighty-five percent are employed, and if one quarter of the homeowners are upside down on their mortgates (my unsupported guess) then three quarters are right side up.  And of course, anyone who has been paying the cost of Social Security and Medicare for others is averse to abdicating his future claim to those services.

I don't expect the negative attacks on Gingrich that have brought him back to earth in Iowa will be as effective in New Hampshire, because the people there are more jaded, nor in Soiuth Carolina, where they are already more familiar with his baggage so that negative information is already factored into his poling numbers there.

I do not think the real people in charge will ever let RP take the big seat. If they do, it will only be to set him up as the fall guy. RP will soon end up buried next to JFK, RFK, JFK Jr, MLK, Malcolm X, John Lennon and Lincoln.

I like the guy too much to really wish him to be elected.  I agree, they'd just kill him.

I once read that 70% of the people polled under a certain age think that Lyndon Johnson arranged the assassination of JFK... and they might be right.

Or they let RP take the Prez job and then unleash another 911 (probably on a larger scale this time). So, RP gets the blame and the NWO gears up into the next phase. So even if RP gets elected I won't be dancing in the streets. RP has ignitied some fires for freedom and has been a powerhouse in regards to waking up some of the sheep.

I have been recently reading why many of the Jews never left Nazi Germany and many of the facts (if they are true) are startling. Not to mention the similarities of todays situations here in the United Police States of AmeriKa. (and Grandpappy Prescott Bush's role in this entire mess)

I am at a point in my life where I do not know what to believe and who to believe as everything is smeared into misinformation and disinformation. I put my faith in God and use my common sense and intuition.
