Looks extra odd this “active Republican voters in Texas” sampling.
A. what does active voter mean? Are they tracking who votes AND who votes Republican?
B. the way its setup here, how would the pollster know in advance if those they called were Republican voters?
This one does not pass the paulnutz smell test.
I’m not saying it’s a great poll. It’s a poll, and it came out today. Make of it what you will.
What Ron Paul wants to do: “Limited Constitutional Government”
I don’t know what you think Ron Paul wants to do.
It might help your case to find links to help your argument.
Eventually, photoshopped pix, and pictures of greasy hippies with Ron Paul stickers on their signs won’t be getting the job done.
You might actually have to find things that Ron Paul actually did that you didn’t like.

The reason that Ron Paul has trouble explaining his positions in a way that people like is that he actually believes the garbage he spews. He also believes even more garbage than he spews, he just doesn't come out and say it. Ron Paul has been associated with Lew Rockwell (an anarchist nutjob) for 33 years (since '78), he even lists lewrockwell.com as his favorite internet resource in his latest book. He also associates himself, regularly, with the likes of Barney Frank in Congress. However, every conservative he starts working with he eventually disassociates himself from. You rarely see Paul, Bachmann, and McClintock teaming up to pass a bill. Paul and Frank do.
Face the facts: Paul is a radical libertarian. Why else would he pal around with anarchists Lew Rockwell and Murray Rothbard (before his passing), but won't associate with conservatives in the House? The most obvious explanation is that he simply is not a conservative.
you don't get to redefine words and claim them as your own
here is a lesson for you - you need it
Excluded Middle (False Dichotomy, Faulty Dilemma, Bifurcation):
assuming there are only two alternatives when in fact there are more. For example, assuming Atheism is the only alternative to Fundamentalism, or being a traitor is the only alternative to being a loud patriot.
voting for ron paul will have you living under democrap rule and paying their taxes - denial of that is delusion
[Raises hand]. Can I play?
A little Ron Paul ...
Ron Paul votes to homosexualize the US Military
There is no information on Azimuth Research Group, and when I do a search on them all I get is three pages, all of which mention this specific poll. Anyone know anything about these folks?
Ron Paul votes to homosexualize the US Military
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2643719/posts
Let’s do this one.
50 years ago, there was no DADT.
Was the military homosexualized then?
“votes to homosexualize” is someones opinion.
So, try again.
He voted against DADT, yes.
But perhaps he wants to replace DADT with “All Gays Out”.
We are asking, and you will tell.
We don’t know that. And I doubt that would be Ron Pauls position. But simply to vote against DADT (which by the way, we did not like when Clinton implemented it in the 90s), does not mean what you think it does.
It could mean “let every President decide what they want the policy to be”. It could mean “the President and not the legislature should decide”.
I don’t know anything about Azimuth. I’m not arguing that this is a great poll. I’m really just saying that this is a new poll.
ron paul needs to teach his paultardz to defend his wackjob ideas
I don’t know much about Debra Mendina, but I know that she ran against Rick Perry. Mendina would have to be pretty bad to be worse than Gardasil Rick Perry.
It appears that Ron Paul doesn’t like Rick Perry. Neither do I, and it appears that more and more people are liking Perry less and less the more we hear about how Perry was a Democrat state legislator, who ran Al Gores campaign in Texas, was switched to Republican by Karl Rove, who ran Rick Perry’s first statewide campaign, Perry’s first campaign as a Republican, I would think that anything anybody could do to get Rick Perry out of politics and into the lobbying sector would be a good thing.
Islamophobes.
He used a word you didn’t like.
Point against.
Forced Vaccinations or saying a word you don’t like, which is worse?
false choice
learn to argue
“I think things could have been done somewhat differently,” Paul said this week. “I would suggest the way they got Khalid [Sheikh] Mohammed. We went and cooperated with Pakistan. They arrested him, actually, and turned him over to us, and he’s been in prison. Why can’t we work with the government?”
There are some who think it’s terrible if anyone suggests that we could ever be “foolish in our use of our strength”.
Irving Kristol, Bill Kristol, other ex Communists, all believe in attacking other countries for no good reason. They don’t believe that other nations deserve to have their borders respected, and they don’t even believe that the US should protect it’s own sovereignty.
Ron Paul stands with Robert Taft, and the neocons stand with Hubert Humphrey and Leon Trotsky.
A Foreign Policy For Americans
“If we are foolish in our use of our strength, we shall not survive” - Robert Taft “Mr. Republican”
http://mises.org/books/taft.pdf
24 hours quote:
You have anything more detailed about what exactly happened with any of that stuff?
What exactly happened in each of those cases?
If we are foolish in our use of our strength, we shall not survive
Notice Robert Taft used the word “foolish.” This implies we should use our strength when it is not foolish. Ron Paul doesn’t believe in having strength, let alone using it.
what are you talking about.
Here is how the vote is defended.
He voted to take away something that a Liberal Democrat put in place to stop military officials from finding gays and kicking them out.
What did Ron Paul vote to replace DADT with?
Could we be going back to “find the gays and kick them out”?
There was no “homosexualize the military”
What do you mean?
Rick Perry is so much worse than Ron Paul.
All Ron Paul did was say a word you didn’t like.
Make your case.
