Classical Liberals believe in liberty and freedom very strongly and are against government intervention in our lives.

There are a bunch of us here who are classical liberals...I prefer to call them now Progressive republicans
Closest we have is John McCain.....
How someone who calls themself a classical liberal could be in favor of a Socialist like McCain is beyond comprehension.
A P210 as I recall, correct? How do you like it?WildseemysigAlaska

Come back and see us when you understand what a "socialist" is
Obviously, you are not aware of the meaning of the word Socialism/Socialist since you are so willing to see one elected.
Stage 2,
Love how you attempted to spin your assertion from "Paul got just as much airtime as everyone else" to "Paul deserved less airtime". Didn't work, but nice try.
I shouldn't be surprised that concepts like Federal restraint, adherence to the Constitution, and individual liberty are villified as fascism. That's the way socialists ( excuse me... "progressives") have always operated.
#1) You called yourself a socialist. Remember?Yadda yadda.....toss the word around like the rest of the labels you seem to have little understanding of...
I think it adds up just fine. You're conflating "late night talk shows" with "the media" and pretending they're one and the same in order to make a point that you claim you're not trying to make.Airtime is being on the air. Having your name mentioned is not airtime. Given the audience leno has and the number of shows tha Paul was on I think that there is an argument at Paul got more airtime than many of the other candidates.
Either way, the point is that Paul had his mug all over the place. Blaming the media is just a really poor scape goat because it doesn't add up.
Already addressed upstream. And 'fascism' is a political belief structure, not a tactic. Try picking a word that fits, because Paul and his supporters are the polar opposite of fascists.The concepts aren't vilified as fascism, the idea that if you don't vote for this particular candidate makes you an evil hater of the constitution is.

Cute, but by that definition we're all (aside from the Obama supporters) "LOSERS".The word is LOSERS.

I think to call them losers is a little extreme but he never had a chance and neither does Bob Barr.
And if he didn't come off that way, they certainly went to great lengths to portray him as such.The amount of media coverage was immaterial to Ron Paul's campaign and the Paulites can complain all they want to but what kill his chances is that for 90% of the people in the US he came off as a wacko.
Also agreed. Of course, I don't believe that McCain has a chance either, and I'm not going to let that stop me from voting as I wish.I think to call them losers is a little extreme but he never had a chance and neither does Bob Barr.
