CNN Poll: Ron Paul strongest vs. Obama
CNN ^

Posted on 05/06/2011 4:52:24 AM PDT by quesney

Who does best against Obama? Paul. The congressman from Texas, who also ran as a libertarian candidate for president in 1988 and who is well liked by many in the tea party movement, trails the president by only seven points (52 to 45 percent) in a hypothetical general election showdown. Huckabee trails by eight points, with Romney down 11 points to Obama.

A. CNN polls are garbage

B. Obama has pissed a lot of people off and Ron Paul is a leftie as well, so he might draw some Obama voters.

C. What we really need is a conservative. Ron Paul is not one.

Here's a news flash for you,...

Well said South. Our country is going down the tubes and instead of us working together to find the candidate who can best fix this mess, people are pimping "their" candidate. I do hope most people will see beyond this kind of crap and I do hope most people will refrain from pimping their own preferred candidate. A good candidate will rise to the top based on their own merit.

I couldn't agree more. We already know Paul is not that candidate. It's a shame he's so out there on so many issues. But it's still a fact that he is.

Liberals in disguise and/or actual libertarians like pushing these garbage polls as some sort of justification why we should support a man we know is a loon.

As I've said before, conservatives ain't buying it.

Cheers

Ron Paul makes perfect sense on financial matters - everything else not so much.Other issues he makes as much sense as Prof. Irwin Corey on acid.

Here's a news flash for you, Chief.

Thanks, Tonto.

I don't give a rat's ass what you find 'boring and immature'. I'll continue posting Paul's record of lunacy in every thread where his crazed supporters are pushing his horse squeeze. If that doesn't suit you, good.

Can't get away from the personal attacks, can you. Is english your second language?

Hey, I've got an idea for you. Why don't you write a book where every page says the same thing. It's sure to be a best seller, snicker, snicker.

Why does the concept of individual freedom scare you so much? This is the way liberals react to Palin. Personal attacks to her and to any that support her. Without and beyond reason.

I notice you didn't say 'well informed conservatives'. Informed conservatives could mean poorly informed, sporadically informed, somewhat informed, etc.

It's refreshing to have an easy target like you to poke fun at. You remind me of that old cartoon of the deer with a bullseye on its back, from Far Side.

Yeah, have a nice day.

If I was to go that direction I’d go with Gary Johnson anyway.

I thought Santorum was strong last night.

Sounds like CNN is setting up the biggest clown to look like he is in the lead and make our side look pitiful and weak.

You really are delusional. I have yet to launch a 'personal attack' directed at you. You, however, have attacked my writing skills (even though they are clearly far superior to yours), you've asked if English is my second language and you've accused me of being 'boring and immature'. Seems you're clueless in more than the world of politics.

Again, good luck peddling the horse squeeze. You should take a look around you, though. No one's buying it.

Later.

How about voting for Nancy Pelosi’s tax hike bill in December

Can't get away from the personal attacks, can you.

Didn't your momma ever tell you not to throw stones from that glass house of yours?

Paul’s a loon in so many ways. I am convinced, however, that regardless how loony he is his supporters will still love him.

Yes, I think we Republicans should rush out and rally around the guy that CNN tells us is our best chance to beat Obama.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the bowels of the control room of CNN central, Brer Rabbit is saying “Please oh please, Mr. GOP, don’t throw me in that Ron Paul Briar Patch!”

You really are delusional.

I can see where that's a possibility.

I have yet to launch a 'personal attack' directed at you.

I never claimed you launched a personal attack directed at me. It is reason and the concept of personal freedom that you have besmirched.

You, however, have attacked my writing skills (even though they are clearly far superior to yours)

I did not attack your writing skills. I pointed out that they lack talent.

, you've asked if English is my second language

Which I notice you failed to answer. You should not be ashamed if it is.

and you've accused me of being 'boring and immature'

I did not. I accused your redundant posts of being boring and immature.

Seems you're clueless in more than the world of politics.

Again, that's a possibility. In fact, on reflection, I pretty sure it's a fact.

Again, good luck peddling the horse squeeze.

Thanks, I need all the encouragement I can get.

You should take a look around you, though. No one's buying it.

It's not for sale. But, for you, on account of your superior writing skills, we're having a special today. I'll repost everything I've posted and send it to you. Apparently you think there is some value it that.

Have a nice day. And good luck on your new book.
