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.

LOL?? Pointing out the simple fact that all the mainstream polls show he is much more popular (often leading Bachmann, Cain, Pawlenty, Gingrich, etc) doesn’t entail a claim that he will win the nomination. BTW, who is your “winner” candidate?
Well, some will.
Ron Paul supporters understand that the main importance of the huge straw poll victory is to deny someone that the globalist, leftist media likes a victory.
Instead of talking about Ron Paul’s huge victory (and it was a huge victory, it wasnt close), some outlets would just prefer to talk about leftist globalist mormon Huntsmans 2nd place finish.
The real story is how pathetic, pitiful Romney and the rest did.
Reagan ate some crow after the “geek” was proven right about Lebannon.
Ron Paul is the most conservative in the bunch. You and the leftist, globalist media don’t like him. Ron Paul supporters are aware that some RINOs would rather have Obama than a true conservative.
Ron Paul is a kook who will never get as much as 2% of the vote proving these polls are a joke.
Klan Pink and the neonazis gotta vote for somebody.
It will not be easy to cut the Federal Government.
But I trust Ron Paul to try.
We had Bushes in for 12 years, and they didn’t even try to cut the Federal Government. They both grew it.
Really? Ron Paul won these important national straw polls in 2007?
No, he didn’t.
Ron Paul did not have the mighty organization you need to win these major straw polls back in 2007.
He does now, and no one else does, apparently.
And how did your candidate do today?
Ron Paul beat that candidate.

4 pictures with Ronald Reagan? That settles it, then. He gets my vote.
Ron Paul stood with Reagan in 1976. Most Republicans stood with RINO Ford.
Ron Paul is the true conservative.
Ron Paul’s chances of being President are slimmer than the chances that Elvis Presley becomes President. And he’s dead.
4 pictures with Reagan is as good a reason as any.
Others try to argue that some random person tying his message to an unpopular cause somehow hurts Paul.
Ron Paul helped Reagan when the RINOs were supporting Ford and Bush.
And btw, in case you haven’t caught on yet. Neither Bush was a Conservative. They were lying about that. And the Bushs haven’t liked Paul for 30-40 years.
Yes, he did.
And there are more, but you should do at least some of the work yourself.
The little Paul Cult was spamming polls back then as well and there were threads here on FR by the Paultards, crowing about how these were indications that their demigod was going to win it all.
Nothing new under the sun. LOL
They know that, but getting them to admit it is like getting Anthony Weiner to admit he twittered a perverted photo of himself. They can post these silly threads but they can never change the fact that Ron Paul will never be president of these United States.
Forget Paul...I want to continue nation building and have bombing dates with the UN. I say after Syria or is it Libya, we do Mongolia next.
