What are they supposed to say? It was a Republican debate. The article is about that debate.

Here is a list of several polls regarding last nights debate, and they show Ron Paul won the debate!

The Paultards are once again duped into making sure our choices are RINOs or Obama.

Paul didn’t win anything except to keep control of his paulbots. Online polls are worth only the paper they are written on.

[Clovis_Skeptic]

RINO’s as in Perry, Romney, those rino’s. Wow it is time to elect a real patriot, and Paul can win!

[caww]

Not uncommon polls ‘use’ Ron Paul as the bookmark....most recognize this goes with the polling game.

[caww]

Sorry but nobody’s ‘talking’ in the news about Ron Paul...he remains a placemark only, just as in previous election. Some things just never change....

[Baynative]

When the dust settles, I hope there is a place for Newt in the new administration.

[cripplecreek]

Only a drug sodden morons think Paul can win.

Unfortunately Paul knows that and is actively helping Mitt Perry by stringing morons along like the pied piper.

[caww]

The odd thing is Ron Paul knows he’s a bookmark but fails to let his supporters know. It works for him in keeping them full of false hope.

RE: msnbc online poll showed Ron Paul won the debate!

Can anyone explain tome what this logic Ron Paul presented means, because I don’t get how it applies:

PARAPHRASING

“If you build a fence to keep illegals out, be careful, because the same fence can also be used to keep Americans IN the country if they want to leave.”

He seems to think that the fence that we build will be used as some sort of Berlin Wall on US Citizens.

Williams/Harris were particularly off-putting, especially Politico Harris who was clearly in over his head. The questions were biased and accusatory, as the two questioners struggled to spark a real debate. Williams/Harris failed to ask the most important questions.

============================================

The Perry contradictions were starkly evident. As a presidential candidate Perry knows he has to appear tough on illegals. But Governor Perry is another story. He acts like no one knows about his activities in Texas.

* Governor Perry established sanctuary cities for illegals. * Governor Perry refigured sub-prime mortgage laws that helped illegals stiff taxpayers. * Gov Perry gave illegals in-state college tuition. * Gov Perry went to Mexico and criticized US amnesty policy (while standing on foreign soil). * Gov Perry criticized Arizona's immigration enforcement law and opposes border fences. * Governor Perry has done nothing about savage Zetas ensconced in Big D-Dallas, operating drug cartels seemingly with his tacit blessing. * Gov Perry has apparently already endorsed legalization under the guise of “guest worker” programs (same trick tried by George W. Bush).

Perry wants to have it both ways. For an unabashedly proud law-and-order man bragging about relentless Texas executions, Perry is too blasé about the real threats to Americans by law-breaking illegals who overflow our jails.

(Cue in Perrydactyls foaming at the mouth.)

Am still amazed - in the worst way - that Mitt offers up that "Obama is a nice guy" and so allowing, that his only problem is that of economic ignorance.

We are so past this...and might add, that Newt seems to be the only candidate to take Obama's ugly truth to those listening.

Our 'frontrunners' would benefit greatly if they shared some 'Newt Wisdom' - and that of Allen West and Marco Rubio, for that matter.

Hey, ElRon wins nearly ALL the uncontrolled polls.

Fortunately for US, those are about the *only* polls he wins — the unscientific ones that are easily manipulated by the paultard hordes.

[svcw]

Good point. These supporters of Paul’s are feeding a huge ego.

[Longbow1969]

Paul didn’t win anything except to keep control of his paulbots. Online polls are worth only the paper they are written on.

Especially online polls on MSNBC since few if any conservatives actually read that site. Paul wins an unscientific online poll when paulbots and Democrats vote for a winner. Yippee.

Paul looked like the insane uncle again with his bizarre theory that building a wall to secure our southern border would somehow be used to keep Americans from.....fleeing to Mexico? The guy is a loon.

Give him a break — he doesn’t mean it, he’s just pandering to his base (hardcore ‘rats).
