Question: If the Texas Republican primary were held today, which presidential candidate would you be most likely to vote for?
Ron Paul – 22% Rick Perry – 17% Herman Cain – 14% Newt Gingrich – 11% Gary Johnson – 9% Mitt Romney – 8% Michele Bachmann – 7% Tim Pawlenty – 2% John Huntsman – 2% Rock Santorum – 1% Undecided – 7%

any poll that shows Gary Johnson with 11% support is immediately suspect in my view
Well, yeah, sorta. This poll was taken before that happened.
However, I think that Ron Paul can say that the marijuana legislation is true tea party legislation, because it doesn’t legalize drugs. It allows states to legalize drugs.
The War on Drugs is just another big federal government program that’s not in the Constitution. Just like Obamacare.
Some people will get that. Tea party will get that. But other Republicans, who aren’t tea party, won’t get that.
Ron Paul sometimes has a difficulty explaining his positions
in a way that people like.
Ron Paul can easily say “if the state does not want to legalize marijuana, they don’t have to”.
Tea partiers should support Ron Paul on this. Or they’re rank hypocrites. All Constitutional Conservatives understand that the Federal Government should not be involved here. Social Conservatives who are pretending to be Constitutional Conservatives would oppose Ron Paul’s bill.
Really, Obama over Ron Paul huh?
Conservative Ron Paul was officially a Libertarian for a short period of time when he ran against RINO Bush in 1988.
Before that he was a Conservative Republican who supported Conservative Reagan against RINO Ford in 1976 and supported Conservative Reagan against RINO Bush in 1980.
And then Conservative Ron Paul joined the Republican Party again.
Bob Barr led the fight against Clinton in the 90s. But then he became a Libertarian against the RINO McCain.
The Conservatives want a choice. You might not have noticed this, but often, the Republican Presidential nominee kinda sucks, and is rarely Conservative. None of the Bushs were Conservatives. Bush II was a fake Conservative, and Bush I said “no new taxes” and promptly raised taxes. Ron Paul ran against that guy.
You might not have noticed this, but often the Constitutional Party nominee and the Libertarian Party nominee (often Republicans who hate the RINO Republican, or simply want to give the voters a Conservative choice) are often much more Conservative than the RINO Republican.
obama is not an isolationist wackjob that sees space aliens
Oh, Palin/Paul would be tops.
Paul does appeal to Independents. People who say “both the Democrats and the Republicans grow the Federal Government always. I want to shrink the Federal Government. I’m an Independent.”
There are more Conservatives than there are Republicans.
Ron Paul, in Iowa, is currently the top Republican with Independent Men, 40 and younger. That does not surprise me.
The people who just want the Federal Government to stop doing so much, to stop spending so much money.
It looks odd, yes. But Gary Johnson was the Governor of New Mexico, which does share a long border with Texas. Polls indicate that Gary is popular, still, in New Mexico, and it’s not shocking to think that Johnson might be well known and popular in west Texas.
Thats about the size of it
You too huh?
Well, there are certainly a significant number of ex Democrats who are now Republicans.
Pro War Humphrey Democrats left the Democrat Party starting in 1972. Bill Bennett was a Democrat when he was picked by Reagan. Moynihan stayed a Democrat. They’re all Communists and they don’t belong in the Republican Party.
In 1988, Ron Paul ran for President because Bush was too Liberal.
In 1988, Rick Perry ran Al Gores campaign in Texas, because
Rick Perry was a Democrat.
Ron Paul is a true conservative. And if Ron Paul can get Rick Perry and you to go back to the Democrat party, it’s a great win. Make sure you stay there.
I respect your opinion, however I must disagree with you on Palin. While I like her, I think she is damaged goods thanks to the media.
Could you support Perry IF he ran?
Isolationist wackjob.
Here you go.
Taft vs Trotsky.
Irving Kristol, your leader, was a Communist who supported Trotsky. He was a part of the Democrat Party. He was a part of the Hubert Humphrey task force. In 1972, he didn’t like McGovern, and voted for Nixon. The Socialists, seeing an opportunity to seize control of the foreign policy of both parties, decided to call Irving Kristol and other Pro War Humphrey Democrats “neoconservatives”. In reality, these are Communists.
Robert Taft, a True Conservative, was fighting against the New Deal when the neocons were praising Trotsky at CCNY.
Robert Taft was the unquestioned leader of the Conservatives, and his nickname was “Mr. Republican”. The neocons were arguing about whether Stalin or Trotsky was better.
Ron Paul has the same foreign policy as Robert Taft.
“A Foreign Policy For Americans”
“If we are foolish in our use of our strength, we shall not survive” - Robert Taft “Mr. Republican”

If you prefer Obama to Ron Paul, don’t let the door hit your neotrotskyite/Communist ass on the way out.
i like the faa
i like order on the radio spectrum
you don't define conservative - nor does ron paul
paultardz would every bit as much damage as libtardz with their ‘theories’
Palin? She’s not damaged, or, let’s just see if she’s damaged.
Perry? Well, he’s my last choice. I’d vote for Romney over Obama quicker than Perry over Obama.
I’ve been talking to someone with PDS, and I’ve been asking her to just please, calmly and rationally, try to explain why she doesn’t like Palin. Here’s what 3 years of media research gets. “I heard a rumor that Track was addicted to meth when he left for the army”. and “she lies about her family. she says her family is so great, and it’s not so great”
I know that they feel what they feel, but the media has been trying so hard to get something on Palin. and it isn’t there. And Palin can just wail on Obama, and just wail on msm. And she’ll win.

Your argument is that because not everything the Federal Government does is bad, Ron Paul is crazy?
Ron Paul will cut the size and the scope of the federal government.
Margin of Error: +/- 2% - but this poll is certainly an unusual one.
you should learn what that wackjob wants to do
