No surprise there. The TEA Party isn’t exclusively focused on ONLY fiscal issues. There’s also a desire to have a strong America that can project its power worldwide. That’s where it departs from Wrong Paul.

Ron Paul is 100% pure, unalloyed poison!

[cripplecreek]

No fan of Paul but the top two tells me that the tea party has been fully co-opted into the GOP.

[THX 1138]

Democrats tolerate crackpots.

Republicans don't.

This is why I’ve been saying all along that a Rupaul independent candidacy poses little or no threat to us. It is Trump we need to worry about.

It's not right to call Ron Paul a nutjob.

Instead, he should be called a traitor, for his remarks on the Bush folks after 911.

If I recall correctly, TEA Party members turned out en masse in Washington to protest federal involvement in our health insurance market.

And now these same TEA Party members are throwing their support towards someone who is promoting his own ideas for federal involvement in our health insurance market? I don't believe it.

If TEA Party members opposed ObamaCare, then they should be opposing GingrichCare as well.

But...but...but... the Paul cult claim that their nutcase candidate is Tea Party. LOL

Patriotic Tea Party people don’t agree with bizarre comments like:
“Just think of what happened after 9/11. Immediately before there was any assessment there was glee in the administration because now we can invade Iraq,” Ron Paul Dec 8, 2011

[italianquaker]

The traitor paul blamed America for 9-11-01 even obama hasnt done that Yet, thats shows how despicable paul is.
That being said he does make for some funny threads

[Interesting Times]

Mitt’s superb “ground game” will easily make up his 30% deficit.

/ RINO

[Gall]

Lol second place for Romney with 17%.
How can they support candidates who were for the bailout, and individual mandates is beyond me.
How can they trust the first speaker punished for house ethic violations and who cheated his first 2 wives.

“Tea Party Fort Lauderdale Presidential Straw Poll

The question was asked;

Who would you least like to receive the Republican nomination to run against Barack Obama?

1st Place

Ron Paul 38%

Jon Huntsman 16%

Mitt Romney 13.5%

Rick Perry 12.5%

Undecided 9.5%

331 people participated in this straw poll that ran from 10/13 – 10/21”

As someone who has been to Ft. Lauderdale Tea Party events,(I live about 20 minutes away from Ft. Lauderdale) I can back this claim up. Not once did I see a Ron Paul sign. Not once.

PS-—Most folks who live in the Ft. Lauderdale/Miami area think the Herald isn’t fit to wrap fish in.
