The mainstream media: Absolutely not

The alternative media and the candidates positions: yes

We have to get our information from some kind of media. I wish Ron Paul was still in it. Oh well...
I would seriously rethink Ron Paul. He is in the process of banking hundreds of millions of dollars he fleeced from his supporters and never spent in any kind of serious fashion.

This guy has been exposed as a racist, and is certainly not any kind of libertarian like he claims. We true libertarians have know this from his runs in the eighties.
HMMM. Interesting. I did not know that. But, I do know that his supporters are some of the wackiest and angriest folks I've ever heard. There's quite a few down this way.
He is a bit of a magnet, of sorts.

Hey. Tell you what...I'm voting for Hillary becaus she's the only one of the final three viable candidates that wants to totally scrap No Child Left Behind. Go figure.
Aw HELL NOOOO!!!! That woman just plain scares me! I don't care for Obama either. McCain isn't much of a step up the ladder either. I'd much rather have a true conservative. UhOh!!! Now I'm gonna get it. But wait!! I said conservative. Not Republican. I wouldn't care if he (or she) were from the "Whig" party, as long as they held TRUE conservative values and ideals. Mainly LESS GOVT getting into our business. OK. Now... you can all take your shots at me.
