Stacked crowd and now we know who was booing the speaker who criticized homosexuality. Thats why the speaker called out a Paul organizer and said they are now enemies.

Ron Paul is a nutty squirrel with incoherent ideas.

Having said that, he is more qualified than the current occupant - but so is Katie Couric.

He is far less qualified than Sarah Palin.

the AP only writes artciles about CPAC ...ONLY when there’s a libtard winning, or any side-story that’s lib-slanted.

This just means that Tea Party Nation is the new CPAC...instead of FUDGEPAC or whatever homo PAC it’s now called.

Said on Fox tonight(Sirius radio) that 40% of the CPAC attendees were students and believe that is where 31% for Paul came from.Our univ. students have been so Noam Chomskeyed and otherwise brainwashed that they are incapable of the simplest analysis and are almost totally ignorant of our exceptional history and greatness as a country.

I like some of Paul's fiscal conservativeness, but he has some far out kookiness. I could only vote for him if he and O were the two choices.

Ron Paul is a crank. I don’t much care what the media takes pleasure in. It doesn’t matter.

“In 1988 Ron Paul was nominated by the Libertarian Party for president and ran against the Reagan agenda, at one point telling the Dallas Morning News, Reagan was a “dramatic failure” as President. Paul also said, “I want to totally disassociate myself from the Reagan Administration”, Reagan was “a failure, yes, in, in many ways”. Transcript of Paul’s remarks on Meet the Press. Also, see Youtube video of Paul on MTP.”

Why are they not reporting that it was 31% of 2,400 of the 10,000 people who attended?

Better him than Romney. Not that Paul isn’t a nut, Mittens doesn’t deserve the glory.

There were a lot of Rue Paul nuts there. The sample size was fairly large, about 2400 out of a crowd of 10K.

We’ll be hearing about this one for weeks and weeks.

On everything but foregin policy, Paul makes sense.
