Ron Paul Win Ohio Straw Poll

Are you still a fringe candidate when you pull in more than half of all votes? Just ask Ron Paul.


Even with the establishment cringing at his libertarian leanings and his ideas otherwise radical for a Republican candidate, Congressman Paul received nearly 54 percent of the votes in an Ohio straw poll over the weekend.
The Ohio Republican straw poll was held in the Buckeye State on Saturday, and the majority of the votes cast went to the Texas congressman who continues to show both success and support in his race for the GOP nomination, despite little attention from the mainstream media.
While news outlets have largely focused in recent weeks on the surging popularity of Herman Cain, the pizzaman only raked in nearly half of what Paul got in the straw poll. Following Paul’s first place victory, Cain came in second with around 26 percent of the votes. Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney received around 9 percent, giving him a third place standing. Newt Gingrich, former Speaker of the House, came in fourth.

You are a fringe candidate when your reason for not wanting a fence on the border is because you think the Feds want to put it there to keep Americans from escaping.

Yea that could never happen, or nationalizing auto companies while taking from bond holders and giving to unions, or executing an American citizen without due process or giving trillions in taxpayer dollars to the banks. Never happen.

The problem with Paul is not with his ideas, it's his presentation. He looks and sounds like a lunatic. Too damn whiney.

The most thoughtful of the bunch is Gingrich but it seems his heart isn't in it. He appears to be just going along for the ride.

I'm starting to think that if Paul were to win the nomination, the GOP would still ignore him and back someone else.

Which only makes me like the guy more.

I agree, Ron Paul has the best conservative ideas, he just looks like some side show figure when he presents the ideas. That's in stark contrast to Romney and Perry who don't have a clue about anything and are career politicians; they just smile and wave.

Romney and Perry have GREAT HAIR and look good on TV. That's all one needs anymore to run for Prez. Even the late Richard Nixon admitted that the U.S. President had become a puppet of the banksters and a figurehead. JFK was the last genuine president we had and even the tentacles were reaching around him.
JFK was greased because he threatened to dissolve the Fed and to begin issuing the first legitimate public currency (United States Notes) since 1912.

The president would literally have to declare Wall Street as a domestic enemy, including banks not physically located on Wall Street, like Goldman Sachs. By any metric you wish to measure with, the banksters are hostile enemies and many are foreign occupations of American soil, every bit as much as hostile forces landing on the beaches to steal, kill, and destroy. The president and Congress would have to have JFK's Exec. Order 11110 all ready to go with the full array of FDR's New Deal measures put back in full force. Naturally, all laws implemented in the last 50 years that compromise or conflict against that would be immediately revoked and nullified. It would be like battling a malignant cancer that has all but taken over the body. The guillotines would have to be chopping heads off 24/7 while marshals take over the billionaires' and fat cats' former residences and seize their ill-gotten gain.

Ron Paul would have been a better president than Eisenhower. The times call for a strongman who is willing and able to step up to the plate for Main Street. We need our own version of Juan Peron of old Argentina!

The fix is in: Republicans make sure Obama serves second term

I have concluded that we may as well dispense with the coming media circus surrounding the 2012 presidential election. Think of it: no phony “debates”, no stage shows, no mud slinging ads, no having to hear the same lame lies and statements as one candidate after another tries to convince us that he/she will reverse the terrible destructive course the US is on. We don’t need to subject ourselves to any of it; the fix is in and Obama wins hands down, no competition……or at least none that the Republican party will acknowledge. Why upset the status quo?

How do I know this?

The Republican party could easily sweep the elections and retake the White House simply by running Ron Paul (R) TX. Poll after poll shows Paul garnering 25% with GOP voters and as much as 70% or more with the public from BOTH sides of the political spectrum.

During the GOP debate, CBS twice removed a candidate poll because the support for Ron Paul showed that he was far and away the leading choice for Republican voters and that was not supposed to happen!

So why wouldn’t the Republican party run what is clearly a winning candidate? Hmmmmm. Because Ron Paul would put an end to much of the power Republicans and Democrats enjoy as a result of their own self-pandering, power grabbing and unconstitutional activity.

Instead they are offering the sorriest collection of non-starters most likely ever assembled for a presidential race and are actively blacking out and refusing to acknowledge the popularity of Paul with the voters and what would be a sure-fire land-slide election.
When I see politicians such as Newt (I just can’t keep my pants on)Gingrich being paraded out for the umpteenth time and treated as if he is actually a viable and desirable candidate for the country’s highest office, knowing this man’s proclivity for mistresses and philandering, for abusing position and power, I tend to think the Republican party has bottomed out.

The remaining candidates are so lack luster, so unqualified, so entrenched in neo-conservative ideology that these pseudo debates are actually tedious to listen to. The canned questions with the corresponding canned and scripted answers are an insult to the viewers.

As a last ditch effort to throw a clinker into the mix, Herman Cain appeared on the Republican bandwagon. For cripes sake, from where did the Republicans dig this man up? Every time Cain appears on camera, viewers begin cringing as they wait for the next fabulously idiotic statement emanating from this man’s mouth. Of course Faux News just loves him……that should be a tip off right there that something is wrong.

So the question remains: Why would the Republican party shun a candidate who can obviously win against all comers, and instead support candidates they know have no chance of winning anything unless the electronic voting machines are rigged yet again?

The Answer: Obama is their candidate also. As president he has been far more effective at dismantling the Constitution, passing oppressive legislation, issuing unlawful and unconstitutional Executive Orders, and expanding the death grip of the federal government on the states than Bush2 and his neo-conservative collection of psychopaths’, ideologues’, new world order, corporate pandering and UN suck-ups than any of these supposed candidates now offered for consideration.

Make no mistake, the Republicans want Obama re-elected just as much as the Democrats do, after all there really is only one party in the District of Criminals and all concerned are quite happy with Obama. There is no way the Republican party is going to run a sure fire winner whose intentions are to reign in the federal corporation when they already have the perfect man in office who has done more to deconstruct the US than even Bush 2 did.

I guess I just answered my own question.

Why vote? With the exception of Ron Paul, they are all selling the same product; its just which sales pitch are you going to buy?

I'm voting for Ralph Nader...for the fourth time. What I want doesn't mean jack, of course.

The American Lumpenproletariat WANT Barabbas so, we will GET Barabbas!

FYI, that is in reference to the book of John, chapter 18, where Pontius Pilate tried Jesus and found no charge against him. Pilate gave the mob a choice of whom to be released for Passover: Jesus Christ or Barabbas, a known robber. The mobs demanded Obama and that's what they'll get.
