here's the complaint from the ron paul complaint itself in a fundraising email under ron paul's nameent to supporters yesterday. dear liberty activists. at one point in the last hour of the cnn debate, blacking out almost took on a whole new meaning, meaning the blacking out of ron paul. they went on to say, you see, it goes on, it can be awfully hard to be on stage for nearly 40 minutes between speaking. yes, 40 minutes. that's how long the mainstream media tryied to keep my views out of the debate at one point. candidates can have whatever opinion they want on the issues or the media. but ron paul is simply wrong on the facts. we went back and looked at the tape and the clock. we're timing these things during the debate but we spent the last two days recounting. we didn't count the introductory statements which each candidate was allowed to make. to keep things simple, the clock started when the first candidate answered the first question. so ron paul's first answer was 6:22 into the debate. >> it raises revenues and the worst part of it is it is regressive. a lot of people aren't

why no love for ron paul?the straw polls. remember, he finished that very close second to michele bachmann in the iowa straw poll, also other organizations have straw polls and ron paul always does well, finishing first, second or third. so you see these organizers of this social conservative confab, they are people that are usually evangelical christians that want to legislate morality. having someone like ron paul win who is a strict libertarian, who doesn't believe the government should have any roll for almost anything, that's probably the reason the organizers are a little ticked. >> but if they dismiss the winner of their own poll, doesn't that discount the validity of the straw poll itself? >> a little bit. it is important to note that straw polls, sometimes you take them with a grain of salt. the actual voting is not going to begin until january or february. those are the contests that count. we have seen ron paul time and time again, no matter the venue, do well. remember he finished fifth in the iowa
