Ron Paul did not just tap dance around invoking Ronald Reagan's name and touching briefly and diplomatically upon Republican talking points in responses carefully scripted by spin doctors. Ron Paul stopped the superficial lip service to Republican "issues" and openly addressed the bare truth in brazen and honest language. Why did ABC not give him even a nod for finally going off-script, as we wish a politician would do, to address what we are all thinking? Is ABC so out of touch with what the people want to see addressed as issues? Is ABC bowing to political pressure to blandly showcase a choreographed play to imagined voters' concerns as determined by some poll? Is ABC just clueless as to what real political and philosophical debate actually entails? ABC needs to do some soul-searching to determine what their basic principles and bottom line are. ABC has failed to even rise to the level of marginalizing truth by excluding mention of Ron Paul's stunning and disquieting evocation of bare and stark reality, something the other politicians carefully avoided for fear of making voters uncomfortable, and potentially losing votes. Give us truth, Ron Paul, and tell us about it, ABC; otherwise, what are you there for?
