NOT DEMOCRACY.

NOT EVEN A REPUBLIC.

Do yourselves a favor and check it out folks!

Or the $9 million he donated to himself when his cash on hand was dropping to levels nearly second tier-ish, perhaps? Loser

everywhere i look, the lamestream media is howling about the tier 3 paul’s climb in the race for top dog of the u s of a; they lambaste against the mighty goliaths and their war chests which have come to naught. most disturbing is all of the media attention given to this, this, defender of that holier-than-thou piece of clinking, clanking, constitutional mishmash. who are these brick-n-mortar institutions that dare to hold up an icon that would restore individual freedom to live unencumbered by those who have amassed an infinite supply of carbon credits?

come along mitt and rudy: have a cigar, you’re gonna go far… they’re gonna love you.
ann?!, michelle?!, rush?! …

I'm from Massachusetts. Mitt Romney does not do it for me. He didn't then. He won't now.

Please check the Dail Paul for updates.

We in NH have had enough of Mitt.. He's a flip flopping smooth talking NON conservative.

I think Ron Paul is an honest man with the courage of his convictions. I think he’s right about the Iraq war and our failed drug policy. But I don’t want him to be President. Here’s why:

He’s for voluntary school prayer.

He supports “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy on gays in the military.

He voted against funding same-sex adoption.

He’s against universal health care.

He wants to withdraw from NATO and the United Nations.

He introduced the Sanctity of Life Act of 2005 which says human life as begins at conception and defines first-term abortions, stem-cell research and some fertility treatments as murder.

He introduced the We the People Act which would allow states to prohibit specific sexual practices, outlaw abortion, outlaw same-sex marriages and display religious text and imagery.

He wants to get rid of the IRS and the income tax, which might sound fun, but he wants to replace them with a national sales tax which would basically put a greater burden on poor and middle-class people.

So if that sounds good to you, stick with the movement. But if you thinks he’s just a cool dude with a facebook account who wants to bring the troops home, lower your taxes and let you get high in peace, do a little more research.

And if you really want to end the war... vote for a Democrat.

I find the comments about Mitt Romney bribing people to come very misguided. I took a day off work and drove on my own to vote. I also knew several others who rode a bus. I, as well as those I know on the bus, have donated to Mitt's campaign. I don't see it as Mitt paying for the bus. It's those of us supporting him who did. If hundreds of people are going to travel into the fair what better way to do it than come together? Mitt's campaign should be credited with being financially responsible with our donations. One bus uses less fuel than all of the individual cars that would have been required. Not to mention what it says about the commitment of the organizers and the stregth of the campaign

Mitt won first place in both. In both straw polls the media did not uphold true journalism.

As in Iowa; yesterday Mitt had the best voters money could buy. Voters dropped off at the voting machines by bus after bus, Mitt won the straw poll.

The tax payers have seen this “formation” before. What will all these favors cost American taxpayers in the future? Will it be whitewater, oil, who is paying for these bus rides? Do not think for a minute that the taxpayers will not be paying for this type of politics? Taxpayers have seen the WARCHEST cost passed on before.

Ron Paul people get to the event on there own. Ron Paul continues to place in polls and gain support despite a media blackout and insults at every corner.

I am delighted with the claim Mitt is Ronald Reagan, Please Go with that! the bus fumes have really got to some of you.

The Ron Paul message appeals to people of all colors, religions and political affiliations.
One thing for sure I can promise you all are going to have to deal with Ron Paul.

Keep up the cheap shots and media black out, I am only more inspired. America is ready for a fresh Ron Paul message.

Hey Mitt lovers, you better pray to God you do not miss the buss or run out of bribe money! Just wait until America hears the Ron Paul Message!

Ron Paul Straw Poll Results
State........Percentage......Place
Illinois (Aug.).....19........3rd
Iowa (Aug.)..........9.....,..5th
Georgia (July).....17.........2nd
Utah (June)........5.4........2nd

The Ron Paul Revolution is ON !

"If Ron Paul is still standing at that point…then I'll listen."

Wouldn't it be wise to listen first, then decide – not the other way around.

Kinda mak'n us Texans look bad aintcha.

Please stop the Mormon-bashing. I’m not religious and I certainly don’t support Mitt Romney, but I find these hateful comments about someone else’s faith to be decidedly un-American.

Please stop bashing scientific polling. (I am a scientist). Straw polls are not science. This doesn’t mean they aren’t meaningful, just that they show evidence of a candidate’s resources (human and/or financial) rather than overall support. Scientific polls are highly accurate measures of public opinion. Certainly they are fallible and certainly they have a margin of error, but they work. To not believe in them is to deny reality. This result doesn’t mean Ron Paul is in third place in the state of Illinois. It means he got 174 of his people to go to the fair.

Finally, I’d like to agree with the Ron Paul supporters on one point. (I’m certainly not one of you – I’d never vote Republican, and I think Libertarians don’t seem to live in the real world). This Illinois result isn’t a big win for Romney. But it’s a big loss for McCain and it’s a big win for Ron Paul. CNN should have mentioned that in the story and the mainstream media should be giving Ron Paul more coverage. He’s earned it.

"Straw polls mean NOTHING. Didn't you read the same thing that I did…less than 1,000 people participated in this poll. How is that supposed to be some accurate sampling of an ENTIRE COUNTRY…let alone a WHOLE STATE…or much less ONE CITY?!?"

Chris, isn't that generally about the number of samples we see in EVERY poll?

Why do you say his followers are cultish?

I would think the opposite, that people with a libertarian slant are far more apt to be independent thinkers (just my understanding).

Have a good weekend,
Chip

Do you know what RON PAUL stands for? DO you know his issues? Which ones do you like and dislike and why Fred will be better?

Ron Paul is probably the kindest old man you'd ever meet. Even though there are many times I think he should have interrupted others in the debates to correct them on their enormous BS, he stands there quietly and waits for his alotted time, as little as it is.

Great news for him. I can't wait for the coming debate at the University of Nevada, the first to acknowledge that he's a top-tier candidate.

I sure hope you don't take the 'real' polls into consideration then. You know, the ones with a sample of around 400 people whom have a land-line telephone. Don't disappoint me, Christopher.

The momentum is unlike anything seen in modern times. Does anyone well versed in political history know the last time such a groundswell of grassroots support happened for a Presidential candidate.

Absolutely inspiring. The GOP party "regulars" don't get it yet.

Ron Paul 2008

SHUT UP.

Straw polls mean NOTHING. Didn't you read the same thing that I did...less than 1,000 people participated in this poll. How is that supposed to be some accurate sampling of an ENTIRE COUNTRY...let alone a WHOLE STATE...or much less ONE CITY?!?

I will not deny Ron Paul's *somewhat present* legitimacy as a candidate...but all of his followers are for lack of a better term..."cultish". Let's also not forget...there are what...nearly 10 people vying for the candidacy...IN EACH PARTY. It's FAR too early to tell where the heck this election is going in the next 6-12 months.

For the record, I am a 22 year old Fred Thompson supporter (with friends who buy into Ron Paul hook line and sinker), but even I see what kind of trouble lies ahead for him and everyone else that seeks the Presidency.

So listen all you Ron Paul fanatics, get off your high horse. Just get off of it. I admire the idealistic approach of you guys, I really do. But let's be honest, the Dems are gonna tear into every single POTENTIAL candidate (for some reason some people have already given Ron, Fred, Mitt, or others the Presidency) and Repubs will do the same. Sit back, take it all in, vote in the primaries if you happen to have the means (live in the state, can do so, etc.), and THEN let's see what the numbers say. Because honestly...until then...none of it really matters.

Period.

If Ron Paul is still standing at that point...then I'll listen.
