I must say, the 2012 Iowa Caucus was magnificent.
ABSOLUTELY magnificent.
You see, the good guys won for a change.
Mitt Commie failed and Jew hater Ron Paul was delivered a staggering defeat.
Now, before we get started, let's get a few things clear. Number one, I don't shill for candidates. I have my favorite candidate and you have yours. In this column, I will never tell you who to vote for. I will always tell you who I think is pond scum (like Mitt Commie, like former Obama syocphant Jon Huntsman, and last, and certainly least, Stormfront candidate Ron Paul), but I will never tell you who to vote for. (You're an adult, I trust you'll act accordingly.) Number two, I am fully aware that the Iowa Caucus is not that big of a deal. There's no need to remind me of that. (If you don't believe me, ask President Huckabee.)
The failure of Mitt Commie was mind boggling. Here was a guy with a campaign budget that was bigger than the GDP of El Salvador, who had been campaigning since John McLame's whimpering defeat in 2008, and had a cable news station (FNC, aka the Fox Neocon Channel) in the tank for him, and has a super PAC to do his hatchet work for him.......and yet........he barely beat Rick Santorum by 8 votes. Yep, you read that right, 8 measly votes. (It should be noted, that until very recently, Rick Santorum's campaign was being ignored by everyone not named Mark Levin and had 68 cents and pocket lint to its name.) Even uglier for Mitt Commie was the fact that he was unable to drive a wooden stake into the heart of nemesis Newt Gingrich's campaign. Despite being carpet bombed by Romney's PAC operatives and Establishment hacks, Gingrich placed a respectable fourth and lived to fight another day. In other words---Mitt Commie choked.
Meanwhile, in Red Skull Ron Paul's Fourth Reich, the Paultards are tickled Code Pinko.(Either that, or they're stoned out of their minds yet again.) They think their Fuhrer has won a great victory over the "neocon bankster Zionist war mongers" by placing third. In actuality, this is a resounding, Stalingrad-like defeat for Herr Doktor. See, Iowa laws allow anyone to change their party affiliation at the door of any caucus and vote. So in theory, every liberaltarian, every Green, every 9/11 Truther, every Neo-Nazi, every malcontent, and every so-called "independent" in the state of Iowa could have showed up and dragged the Surrender Monkey's carcass across the finish line. But they didn't. Despite the "money bombs", the "spamming", the "trolling", making pests of themselves on talk radio shows, and other Brownshirt-like behavior, RuPaul (H/T: Mark Levin) and his flunkies have failed and failed big time. Third place in a contest whose rules favor you is a complete and utter joke, much like saying Herr Doktor is a Conservative.
Let me repeat: No, I'm not shilling for anyone (as of yet, I'm still undecided) and yes, I know Iowa's not that big of a deal. However, a win's a win and I'll take 'em any way I can get 'em. If you don't win, you can't keep it classy and say things like this:
HEY RINOs AND PAULTARDS! IN YOUR FACE, DORKS!
Excellent rant - I enjoy colorful invective, pay no attention to the snivelers who pretend to be offended. The rats will be taking off the gloves and giving no quarter in order to destroy whoever the republican candidate will be.
Ok cheerleader now that you know your logic is misplaced just like some fans in the bowl games this series.
Winners in the first quarter or first half ended up losing the game.
But hey, it was a great first half for the losing fans in the end.
Ask huckabee about it.
What do you plan to do to help Santorum get on the VA ballot.
Now put your pompoms down and get back to work.
There is a big battle about to take place and Romney can end up taking this contest while you will be wondering, just like the Georgia fans are wondering, WTF happened.
It’s your money. Who am I to tell you what to do with it ?
That old Paultard canard has been debunked at least a dozen times right here on FR. Only Paulbots and RuPaul's website keep it going.
Find another talking point.
“Couldnt help but tease you a bitthats so like something I would do, LOL!”
No worries!

Iowa doesn't get to dictate squat. The winner of Iowa doesn't necessarily win the nomination at all. Just ask the Huckster. Bachmann dropped out because her entire campaign was based around doing well in Iowa. She failed, she's out, not Iowa's fault.
Why can't all 50 States vote at the same time like they do for the Presidential race?
Do you seriously not understand why this would be a disaster? If all the states had primaries at the same time, the candidate with the most money would win virtually every time. As they are currently set up, decent candidates with little money can build momentum slowly. Neither Santorum, nor Gingrich or even Cain had much cash or organization - but they all at least had a shot to be successful in Iowa if they played their cards right. Santorum caught the wave, Gingrich got his look and didn't build on it (and failed to defend himself) and Cain imploded.
“It’s refreshing when contrasted with some of the dilettantes around here who ‘want’ to fight but disdain you and don’t want to get mud on their shoes.”
Thank you for the kind words!

Didn’t Ron Paul beat Newt Gingrich? I remember seeing that last night.
“That’ll do conservatism a bunch of good, won’t it?”
And playing nice with a socialist like Mitt Commie and a Jew hater like RuPaul will ? Did I miss a memo ?
Newt Gingrich ... way down there in FOURTH PLACE with 13 percent of the vote.
Sigh....
There are many sources that admit Ron Paul gets the most from the active military. It's not just Ron Paul as you are claiming. Just Google it and you will see all sorts of news and media web sites confirming this claim. Why do you think no other candidate brings this inconvenient fact up?
Here is a short list for you,

There is over 135,000 hits on it just from Google about it.
You come up with your “conspiracies” that this is all a big lie. You need actual evidence that shows this. So far I have not seen or heard any evidence that disputes this.
Didn’t read a thing I wrote, did you ?
These comments could be from a liberal-Democrat site. All name calling, zero substantive debate and hate mongering. No Thanks.
See post 55
This is a canard based on nothing but donations that supposedly came in from the military. One can easily see that most under payed service men do not donate cash to political campaigns. This hype from the whacked out Paulites has no way of being proved by any real percentages of service people.
As for Ron Paul supporters being Nazis, if a candidates receives donations and support from Stormfront, gets endorsed by David Duke, has close ties to racist anarchists like Murray Rothbard and Sam Rockwell, personally wrote racist newsletters, has an anti Israel policy tailor made for Code Pink it is easy to see why most rational people can come away thinking that the candidate is a racist with Brownshirt support. Does Paul fit into any of these categories I cited?
Paul has no business in the party of Reagan, of who he thoroughly denounced, and is no Conservative. He is a straight up Libertarian and should have the honesty and integrity to run under that banner. He, of course, has none of those qualities.
It looks to me like a clear majority of Iowans - especially the under 45 crowd and Independent voters - thought Newt Gingrich was a warmongering kook who is “dangerous” to America.

“The CNN Iowa Exit Polls tell a fascinating tale: 99 percent of Republican voters are White, 15 percent are 17-29, and 16 percent are 30 to 44. Ron Paul won 48 percent of Millennial voters and 26 percent of Gen X voters. He won 37 percent of voters who make under $30,000 a year. Mitt Romney won 36 percent of voters who make over $100,000 a year.
33 percent of Ron Paul voters had never attended an Iowa Republican Presidential Caucus. Paul won 43 percent of Independent voters and 34 percent of Moderates. Rick Santorum won 35 percent of “Very Conservative” voters and 13 percent of Independents and 9 percent of Moderates.
Mitt Romney won 33 percent of voters who consider the “Economy” the most important issue. Ron Paul won 28 percent of voters who consider the federal budget deficit the most important issue. Rick Santorum won 58 percent of voters who consider abortion the most important issue.
Ron Paul won 37 percent of voters who considered him the “true conservative.” Mitt Romney won 48 percent of voters who believed he can beat Barack Obama. Rick Santorum won 40 percent of voters who believe he has “strong moral character.”
Rick Santorum won 32 percent of Evangelical Christians. Ron Paul and Mitt Romney won 18 percent and 14 percent of Evangelical Christians. Romney tied Newt Gingrich and Rick Perry with Evangelicals. OTOH, Mitt Romney and Ron Paul dominated the non-Evangelical vote, winning 38 percent and 26 percent respectively.
Conclusion: The Republican base of Evangelical Christians/Social Conservatives turned out for Rick Santorum who voted for him on the basis of his “strong moral character” and his opposition to abortion. Moderates and Independents voted for Ron Paul and Mitt Romney who cleaned house with Millennial voters.”
