I forgot about that. Guess it didn't have enough of Sarah's special seasoning to bring her over the top!
Newt gives a good speech and always has interesting ideas. Too bad he's so wobbly on follow through and so easily seduced by the opposition.
People need to wake up to the fact that Ron Paul is a force for liberty that, for the first time since Reagan in GOP politics, has a young, collegiate following as well as an old one. The good news for big government GOP’ers is that he probably won’t run so that his son can in a few years
GOOD FREAKING GRIEF!
Take a deep breath.
These straw polls are completely meaningless.
Ron Paul would have won it, but the Star Trek costume contest was taking place at the same time as the vote in another part of the facility, and several of his cult-members ended up having scheduling conflicts.
And Mitt has more money to buy more votes. After all, we are in a recession.
Ron Paul is too old to be elected Pres.
btw, since Paul and his people are obviously not constrained by rules or decorum, why is it exactly that people who claim to be conservative support him?? Hmmmmmm?????
Oooops on the PAULTARDS.
DOCTOR RONALD is not going to be happy with the result...lol.
He paid a lot of money.
$119. X 800 =
What a disaster if believable.
Bullsh!t... willard bought it... already read the stories and had boots on the ground confirming... he plays his little game that is so old guard... it is a new day... rinos are so 2008.
LLS
Ron Paul, trying to herd capital-L Libertarians!
mitt purchaed all of those tickets in a block... reported here yesterday.
LLS
Newt has to be pleasantly surprised!
His votes and Sarah’s look legit.
I am down here and have been all of my life... I am 70 miles from this event. mitt nor huckster nor paul will garner any votes here to speak of. We are through with rinos and wackos.
LLS
His middle is Samsonite.
That's how we got into this mess, sounds like Obama. NO THANKS
Why don't post my whole sentence instead of trying to cut it up out of context which required more effort than just posting the whole sentence. Here's what I really wrote:
People need to wake up to the fact that Ron Paul is a force for liberty that, for the first time since Reagan in GOP politics, has a young, collegiate following as well as an old one.
I stand by that statement because the young, collegiate voters are the next generation of voters coming up. If the most principled as well as the most constitutionally minded (with actions, not just lip service) person in politics can - for the first time since Reagan - captivate the voters of the next generation, that's a good thing for everybody except big-government libtards and big-government conservatives.
If Romney were to become the Republican candidate in 2012, we are still in trouble.
You know Ron Paul has got to be spittin' mad about that.
He'll make DARN SURE that the Start Trek costume contest timing never conflicts with a straw poll vote again.
