Ron Paul Weekly Update - January 14th thru January 21st




Ron Paul 2012 Podcast show

Summary: As you might expect going into the all-important South Carolina primary, coverage of the Ron Paul 2012 campaign has been hot and heavy in the past week. The last seven days have been strange, in that Rick Santorum has been pushed back into the headlines after the Iowa GOP has somehow determined that he actually won the caucus there, and the mainstream press (particularly Fox News and the neocon talk radio mafia) has hailed the rejuvenation of Newt Gingrich's campaign due to his windy performances in the two South Carolina debates. You have to be amused by such an arrogant insider like Gingrich bemoaning the "elitist media" for calling him to task for his life and record. And your average Republican just eats it up! The Congressman took a break from the campaign trail midweek to return to Washington and stand against yet another debt-ceiling increase, and to propose legislation that would repeal the most offensive sections of the NDAA. He then returned to the Palmetto State to rally the troops towards victory at the polls. The personal attacks were near constant. Neoconservative figurehead Bill Krystol made the rounds demanding that the Republican Party find a way to banish Ron Paul, while at the same time, other observers in the punditry acknowledged that any Republican nominee will have to have us on board if they hope to have a chance at beating Lord Obama in the general election. Strange Days Indeed! I will post a wrap-up/review of the South Carolina primary within the next day or two. Until then, here's a four hour chunk of audio to tide you over (very heavy on Judge Napolitano, and his great coverage on Freedom Watch!).
