The only other reporting is about the shallow spats by the &amp;quot;top-tier&amp;quot; candidate. I'm glad to hear the Ron Paul is trying to focus on the questions and not the other candidates.</description></item><item><title>Paul's M.D. Background Shines</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/10/21/423007.aspx#423034</link><pubDate>Mon, 22 Oct 2007 01:02:43 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:423034</guid><dc:creator>Brent, Schertz, Texas</dc:creator><description>Amen, they hardly let him talk.

You're correct Chuck. Thank you (and the establishment/mainstream media) for a rare, relatively positive comment regarding Ron Paul.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Being a physician himself, Paul's point about technology raising, not lowering, the price of health care does indeed resonate and is particularly credible. &lt;br&gt;It's is an obvious point to raise. Yet in this field of CFR pre-scripted candidates (Romney, McCain, Giuliani, Thompson) &amp;nbsp;it comes across as a shining moment of brilliance and acumen and that's the sad state to which the electoral process has descended in America.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ron Paul sounds as though he actually thinks about what he's saying, sounds as though he has actually thought through and considered his positons on the issues. &lt;br&gt;He says what he believes based on his knowledge and experience. It comes across as honest, not pre-screened or scripted. That's what people are hungry for. That's what the American people deserve.</description></item><item><title>Paul's M.D. Background Shines</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/10/21/423007.aspx#515913</link><pubDate>Fri, 14 Dec 2007 06:14:15 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:515913</guid><dc:creator>linus, bay area, california</dc:creator><description>Here are some videos regarding Ron Paul and Health Care:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Trailer&lt;br&gt;&lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-gSLt_qKBo"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-gSLt_qKBo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=287IQ_7Qj_0"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=287IQ_7Qj_0&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4woPtYzDEG8"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4woPtYzDEG8&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qoazzRDALYw"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qoazzRDALYw&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSBWVDukUuw"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSBWVDukUuw&lt;/a&gt; </description></item></channel></rss>
