Well duh, they did it in 2007, they did it less outright in 2011. So what? 

I agree with Daniel McAdams.  A razor close 2nd place got Paul more attention than winning it would get.   Especially now that the distant third place candidate dropped out.

The more they try the better for Paul.  They never learn.

I believe Ron Paul is still suffering the GOP sandbagging treatment he has been getting for years. The TV news reports completely ignore his strong second place in the Iowa Straw Poll, never even mentioning his name. The mainstream media are always portraying the GOP contest as being Bachman v. Perry. They don't want us to even know Ron Paul is a contender. One talking head went so far as to say that all GOP candidates were on the same agenda, deliberately omitting Paul's stance which is leading him to a blacklisted victory. I fear for his life!  

Never mind who steals what from Ron Paul ... what's the big fuss anyway -- it is meaningless -- we are just here for the entertainment. Even wihtout this stealing, what really matters is the explanation why at the end Paul does not get the nomination!
