Representative Ron Paul easily won a Republican Leadership Conference straw poll of the party's 2012 presidential contenders on Saturday, with former U.S. envoy to China Jon Huntsman finishing second.

Paul is a tea party leader???
Now that’s something I missed.
uh oh. The last time I participated in one of these Paul threads I was asked if English was my second language...a weak but obvious attempt to disparage me and/or my writing skills. How the Paul supporter could think such a tactic could come close to promoting their candidate escaped me. Perhaps you will be attacked similarly and we can learn together. :-)
And it certainly does. ;-)
There are 2 important straw polls.
This one, and CPAC. Ron Paul won both this year.
The leftist, globalist media always treated these 2 yearly straw polls as the most important.
Now that Ron Paul wins, the leftists don’t think they’re so important any more.
If you don’t care about these polls, why are you on this thread, btw. You do care about this polls. There are other threads for you to discuss things you do care about.
I understand that you’re embarrassed because your candidate failed today with a pitiful performance. I get that you’re butt hurt. But this straw poll is an important straw poll, always has been, and Ron Paul crushed it.
I know that this is one of the 2 most important yearly straw polls. You can deny this all you want.
But I do know that the leftists, like yourself, don’t want to give credit where credit is due.
Get over your butt hurt, and maybe volunteer for your chosen candidate so that Ron Paul doesn’t embarrass them again.
Wow, now there is a credible poll and result. Not only a victory for paleoPaulie over America (the non-Romney candidates) but Jon Red China Huntsman in second place. That sure suggests a lot of real patriots voting in that poll. Strange, though, that paleosurrenderman NEVER seem to get more than 7 or 8% in a POTUS primary and even that is partially attributable to leftist zombies playing make-believe American to vote in GOP primaries where that is allowed and partially to lapel-grabbers whose eyes glaze over for El Run.
I already told you that. Pay attention, Sparky.
There are other threads for you to discuss things you do care about.
I'll visit the threads I choose, thank you. You'll just have to suck it up.
I understand that you’re embarrassed because your candidate failed today...
Who is "my candidate?" (You Paultards crack me up with that "your candidate" stuff.)
But I do know that the leftists, like yourself...
LOL. You just proved that your arguments are baseless with that one. It's funny, though.
Keep on entertaining us!
PalioPrawnie and his merry band of shrimp were funny for a while, but his bs cult is getting old. He had a chance to prove that on the area he is supposed to be an ‘expert’(sic)- financial; he blew it. As chairman of the financial committee he not only has done nothing to progress what he stood for, he has undermined much of what he wanted. He just shows he really is another old career politician who wants his pet issues to stay alive so he keeps getting attention. And his merry band of shrimp still lick his boots clean.
We dont need him as president. He should drop out and stay where he is. What we need is a ton of congress people like him and his son Rand. We need to control the congress.
Until then, nothing good gets done...NOTHING!
Romney IS pitiful, like RuPaul because of the similarity of so many of their positions (foreign policy, military, the love that dare not speak its name in better times, refusal to resist the ongoing American Holocaust against the unborn). As to both of them, don't tell me what they say while posing for holy pictures. Show me what they have DONE as public officials. Zero, zip, nada, etc. One distinction in El Run's favor is that Mittens wants us to be dominated by the European Union and the UN whereas Paulie will settle for Sharia rule. We can recruit even the liberals to stop Sharia. It is understandably hard to recruit them against the EU and UN. How many votes either gets at a straw poll is utterly irrelevant.
It would take someone with the resolve of a Ron Paul to cut the federal government..
Even some freepers think its crazy to cut the federal government.. mostly those that despise Ron Paul..

And your point is?
Oh, I’m sorry, I didn’t realize you were a Democrat.
In which case your candidate would be Obama.
Because the only Republican to win was Paul. Therefore, your candidate lost.
Ron Paul as POTUS (laugh I thought I'd die) could and probably would:
1. Strip the military of any and all ability to project force on behalf of our nation and its interests. Its interests do NOT include cryogenic coma until the baaaaaad people just go away and leave the paleos alone.
2. As POTUS, Paulie would (not could but would) appoint social revolutionaries committed to babykilling and the destruction of marriage. They might require the selling of the lighthouses as tools of extraconstitutional behavior and maybe nukes and nuclear boomer subs and even tanks and rifles lest we might engage in purposeful foreign policy.
3. His libertoonian judges and justices would certainly ignore the ongoing slaughter of the innocent unborn while hiding behind the 10th Amendment to protect the SCOTUS in Roe vs. Wade and progeny which ignored the Tenth. If we keep abortion in place as the secular sacrament of liberals and libertarians (even those who SAY the right thing while doing nothing) on the books for another century and another 150 million sliced, diced and hamburgerized babies or so, then the nation (if by miracle it still exists) will forget what that old 1970s controversy was all about which would suit the moral cowards like paleopaulie just fine.
4. And likewise the phenomenon of Mr. Johnson ranging the old Hershey highway and confusing fudge-packing with marriage, with either taxpayer subsidy or cancellation of normal marital deductions and credits for the one man and one woman marriages (but I repeat myself).
Your typing is just fine; we’re not being graded here. We’re just voicing our opinions and trying to defend this country from the incessant attacks from the left. Spelling police, typing police and similar types are delusional if they think pointing out typing errors and the like makes any point. I make no effort to spell check anything so it’s very likely I misspell many words and I’m not about to start spell-checking now.
Ron Paul is a hypocrite he says he want to cut spending on one hand and on the other hand he is all for earmarks.
Oh, and how could I forget??? As Commander in Chief, El Run would order the military personnel to stand down, turn in their weapons, form a circle around the old campfire, break out the Smores and marshmallows and spend the rest of their lives singing Kumbaya and love songs to our enemies.
