Ninety seconds. That’s how much of the first hour of tonight’s GOP debate was given to Ron Paul. 90 measly seconds out of 3,600 seconds.

Ron Paul’s 2012 presidential campaign newsletter.

My recommendation: Ron Paul’s campaign should sponsor its own series of debates! Isn’t that the solution that best makes use of the free market? If there’s a whole bunch of competition and very little regulation, wouldn’t we get the best product?

Each candidate should sponsor a separate set of debates to ensure that (s)he is happy with the amount of time devoted to his/her ideas. But if your debate doesn’t draw any ratings and if your poll numbers don’t improve after you express your ideas to your heart’s content, then you have to agree that your ideas just aren’t favored in this market and you have to pack it in. That would sure beat the current system, where the debates are essentially hand-outs to some incredibly weak candidates who have no chance of winning the GOP primary because their ideas consistently fail to meet even the lowest threshold for success that a market would allow.

Why wait to be “given” time, Ron Paul? Why not make time for your ideas yourself? Pull yourself up by your bootstraps!

Problem solved, libertarian-style!
