This stuff makes me think that the GOP is fatally flawed. Ron Paul is a Libertarian with a strong LIBERAL streak, and Romney is a flip-flopping establishmentarian who like big government just fine.

These people are leading the pack? We're doomed.

A poll on a Republican race in the RedStar & Sickle is like a PETA ranking of their favorite steakhouses.

It’s those wacky Iowans again! They’d vote for Sponge Bob if they could, just hear the media talk about how “unpredictable” they are. I wish we could pull the plug on this circus already.

The 2012 Mayan Disaster right on schedule.

As Newt continues to remind us what important, he should win the nomination in the end.

[Sacajaweau]

The idea that Paul is even in the running is so ridiculous that it tells me that something is very wrong with a whole lot of people....like MAYBE pretend Repubs have infiltrated and ruined the entire process. PAUL IS CRAZY!!!!

Who are these whak-tard automata who support Wee Willy Willard at 17-25% across all polls no matter what? Pod people? Zombies? Carriers of brain parasites?

Alternative hypothesis: Do that many Mormons live and vote in Iowa?

Newt continues to fade away, Perry shows no bounce at all, and Iowan native Bachmann is deader than dead. I don’t see how she can continue at all after this. And once again, we see from the Ron Paul numbers that the mentally ill amongst us are far larger than we ever imagined. And all of this - by design - keeps one man on top...the nightmare candidate Mittens. What a mess. Obama must be thrilled.

Congrats to Bulldog Santorum. I can’t wait for the NEXT debate when Rick tears into Willard.

Hopefully, our final four going into SC:

1. Conservative Gingrich
2. Conservative Santorum

3. Liberal Romney
4. Crackhead Paul

..which means, that’s the order they should finish in SC, imho. : )

[terycarl]

after watching (again) the fiasco that is Iowa politics, I have lost all respect for thier so called caucus method...it is, at best, pathetic

[PAConservative1]

I wanted either Bachmann, Santorum, or Gingrich, whichever one had the best shot at winning. That appears to be Santorum. If Romney or Paul wins Slick Willard will likely be the nominee *barfs*

[katiedidit1]

Sad day for America when multi million dollar smear campaigns work and win. If voters are too damn ignorant to do their homework and vie for candidates like Paul and Romney...GOD help us!!!!!!!!! amazing Gingrich is even in double digits after the onslaught by the gop establishment and millions spent bashing him. I am so disgusted. Go to Bing or google and all pop ups that are anti Newt (when I type in his name) but type in Romney and it is all green lights. FUMR AND FUFAUXNEWS
