CNN does not have any integrity and they are competely showing thier true colors. I was a huge fan of CNN until they protrayed Ron Paul in such a biased manner. They should be ashamed of themesleves. I now understand why people bash on CNN which I have always defended. Folks at CNN bring back your integrity, and leave politics out of your agenda, bring back objectivism. The news is not your forum to convey political views but to educate and inform.

So here's the question America: do you still believe in hope? I'll be honest. I didn't AT ALL until I, by miraculous coincidence, saw a Ron Paul bumper sticker and got curious. I googled him and have been in love ever since. Why? Because Ron Paul is hope. To borrow a quote from "V for Vendetta" (my own edited version): "Ron Paul is an idea, and ideas are bullit proof." He can't be stopped. God is never with the aggressor, and he's the only candidate who is not. Listen to what he has to say, and his ideas will no longer be taboo, radical, any of that. We the people have the power, not a bunch of power hungry people like Hillary Clinton or Obama or McCain or Romney!!! So, I implore you America, speak up. Fight for what is right. Your rights. Clinton will do nothing more than take those away from you one by one until this once great nation is little more than a militaristic dictatorship police state. Speak up America. Fight for what is right.

I am continually unimpressed with your and other media's selection of photos to represent Congressman Ron Paul. Always, they are the worst shots for presenting the broad nature of the man to an uninformed general public. I have seen photos that have caught him in very unbecoming poses ad nauseam when there are many positive and happy pictures in the public domain.

The photo with this article is ill-chosen to present him as an intense, angry, rebellious person, which is in no way true. He is intense, yes, in his support of the Constitution, and he is defiant yes of the neoconservative hijacking of our government, but always he is courteous and civil.

This photo does not give the impression of a man much more vibrant and alive for his age than many younger than he is. Look at the grueling schedule that he is keeping criss-crossing the nation. Look at the respect and love that he is attracting. People don't fall in love en masse with the image that you present in your photo.

If this is your doing Sasha Johnson, then shame on you for the subtle distortion of Dr. Paul's nature. If it is your superiors, then still shame on you for not objecting to the picture being attached to your otherwise positive, albeit brief, article.

Using an obviously bad picture of someone is obviously slant. Get it together CNN. You are being unprofessional.

Vote Ron Paul 2008.

Amazing that you will never find people like Hillary with scary ideas. Her people have researched everything and ensured that she never promotes an idea what will put people off. She avoids giving direction on policy that may upset people. She is a career politician who will do and say anything to be elected.

But once in office, it will be more of the same.. more foreign intervention, more big government, more welfare, more taxes, more compromises for big corporations and more corruption.

People, do you REALLY want that?

I support Ron Paul because he is for the American people and our constitutional right!
Ron Paul is against this socialist driven war and would bring our troops home to protect U.S. and our borders.
Ron Paul 2008.........YEAH

Don't worry about the photo. Do Americans still vote for president based on looks?

Yes, and according to Ron Paul the US has never been attacked on our soil before! Let's quickly rid ourselves of these gadfly pretenders and get down to the serious business of electing a qualified person for President.

It would have been even better if Ron Paul could have landed at the fifty yard line during the halftime show in Dennis Kucinich's space ship. They're both from Planet Remulak you know.

Have any of you watched the debates?? Thats what he looks like – he is always angry and spouting out his message. (90% of his ideas are very good....its the other other 10% that are insane....you need to take Ron Paul as the entire message – not just the bits and pieces – he is far too radical to ever be a president...but 100% better than a Hillary)

Awesome!...and my guess is that his campaign had nothing to do with it...just the average people who want to help him get the attention he deserves. No other candidate has supporters like this. It's nice to see what a consistent voting record and non-wavering stance on issues for 40+ years can do for a politician. GO RON!! Your character and honesty CANNOT be matched by any other!

Glad to see the mention. You do however realize that Ron Paul supporters are not influenced by your psych warfare tactics(picture with angry facial expressions). We're no longer plugged into the matrix!!!!

CNN has been great to Ron Paul, he's been on every day since Monday, including a live interview after the Philadelphia rally today at 2.48 p.m. eastern.

Its a photograph of a worried, concerned Ron Paul. Its not the usual happy elder Congressman, its the look of President Ron Paul having to make a difficult decision.

Folks, CNN does far more in the MSM media than anyone else, and its 99% accurate, so lay off the exessive criticism over photograph choice.

That having been said, the slide show at http://www.nytimes.com (front page today!) has sopme very sharp and beautiful pics about Dr. Paul's campaign, check it out

Ron Paul looks good to me no matter. He's a helluva lot better than all the others, we only have crooks and liars to choose from.

Ron Paul is the only way to go. I don't care what the photo looks like.

We need to remember that it's volunteers doing this sort of activism - not the official campaign. People are joining together, pooling their cash, and hiring a pilot to fly Ron Paul banners. Think about that for a moment.

This is ridiculous. What kind of integrity does CNN have if it shows a picture of Ron Paul looking angry or confused? McCain gets different pictures, Edwards gets different pictures, etc.

The reason Ron Paul supporters say the media ignores and belittles him is for this exact reason. I, at least, want fair treatment for all candidates and their issues, not nonsense about how Barack Obama was late to a rally or what kind of shoes Hillary Clinton wears.

And the best part is this is organized by individual grass roots groups. So while Romney may have 300 staff, working out of 7 offices, Ron Paul has 60,000 volunteers working with 1100 groups

Yet again CNN posts the worst picture they could find on Ron Paul.

What amazes me about most voters is that when you hear what they want in a president and how they portray an urgency of needing change, they are describing Ron Paul.. but ultimately they will vote for Hillary.

How anyone can think Hillary is the answer or will bring about the change that this country needs is beyond my understanding.
