Ron Paul won big earlier today in Alabama. He also won big in New Hampshire this afternoon.

Dr. Paul received 208 votes (73%) for a landslide victory against Mitt Romney today at the Strafford County, New Hampshire straw poll. Romney received 26 votes. Mike Huckabee came in third with 20 votes.

Tancredo (8 votes), McCain (7 votes), Cox (5 votes), Hunter (5 votes), Thompson (5 votes), Giuliani (3 votes) and Brownback (1 vote) finished the field.

As noted earlier, Ron Paul received 216 votes for a commanding first-place finish in a straw poll today sponsored by the West Alabama Republican Assembly. Mitt Romney came in second with 14 votes.

The poll was open to Alabama residents.

I may like a bottom rung republican but at least he’s there honestly as a real conservative.

I agree, and I can't say that about most of the globalists the GOP are putting the spotlight on.

Yay! Another 200 post Ron Paul thread! Thanks guy’s, the lurkers are watching. Blackbird.

It took a 200 hundred years to get here.

I’d be happy if we could halve that. Quarter it and it would be a miracle

There will always be something that will be outside Constitutional bounds, there are times that to try and run an amendment would just take to long, such as reaction to a national crisis or the like.

I have been doing a bit of reading since I remembered about Jefferson and the Louisiana Purchase. Here is Mr. Constitution himself going out side the document to snag a bargain. These things will happen and have for many years.

The question becomes one of abuse. We can only blame ourselves and who we elect for that. BTW thank you for a reasoned response. Absolutism is a waste of time and effort...

I threw you babbler's a bone, gave you all this time and you didn't even catch it. Geez! Blackbird.

Wrong. She obviously did a pretty good job with her quiver or you wouldn't have replied. Now, by staying silent since your reply, we actually baited you into a follow-up. DUH!

"Happy Trails To You..."

Hmmmm. Name calling. And I thought that was beneath you EEE /sarc. Oh, but apparently you are able to use such a tool, but whine if you “believe” you’ve been called a name by someone else. Interesting finding here.

Look at the thread. If you think Lurkers are going to be impressed with RP simply because we've driven up the numbers of posters, you're crazy. That's why we get into this. We WANT it pushed up in posts. We're using you. As I posted earlier, you just don't get it.

Y’alls version of lurkers is scary...

That poster is a troll. He has done the same on some Fred threads.

You're our tool sonny, you're just too lame to realize it. Keep it bumping. Blackbird.

Nope. You're fine. It's the Dyslexia kicking in again. Don't worry about it.

Truthers beware. No fault, no harm.

HA! No, I'm not. And I'll keep it bumping. You can be sure of it. Truthers have nobody!

[SoldierDad]

Perhaps so EEE. But, you accused me of name calling and insinuated that this is the tactic of those who are not for RP. Then I find that you engage in the same tactic against people you don’t like or who have disagreed with you. You can’t call the kettle black when you are being the pot. Either live up to your own set of standards or quit the accusations.

Do you know what a “straw poll” is?

Yes... but there is a wide variety of such. And to take it a step farther towards where I was going with my comments - just look at the background of these "straw polls".

But in reality, some straw polls actually bear some accuracy, while others (like these) have no control to even pretend it is a real accounting of opinion at the time.

Actually it’s a real typo. I type like crap on a real keyboard too.

Been a running joke with me over 25 years in the IT field...

I didn't see any. But, anyway, you'll have to tell me about the Treo (off-thread). I've been thinking about going that route when we change our plan next time (not that I need to).

[BlackbirdSST]

HA! No, I'm not.

HA! Yes you are. Are we taking this to 300 posts? Blackbird.
