Where is Ron Paul in these figures?
I know he was right up there with Romney in the debates.
According to text message polls and the like, Paul won with 42% and Romney was right behind him with 40%. Anyone who watched those debates and believes in the constitution would support Paul. But the media continues to ignore him. They showed a few sample polls about what users thought about the debates, and on each of them, Paul's name was nowhere to be found. I added up the percentages and on each poll, there was a large percentage unaccounted for. Paul's voters? Perhaps undecided people, but still, why not show Paul's support? Why does the media continue to ignore him? Well, I know the answer, but what gives? If you still believe in the USA, look up info on Paul. He is THE candidate.

What percentage of the total population do you believe is gay? I ask that question because spousal medicare and social security benefits being given to gay spouses will have to be considered. If, say 10% of all couples are gay more funding will be necessary, thus giving rise to the need for another payroll tax increase in the event gay marriage is passed by the govt.

It's too bad that the democrats suck so bad at economics. But the economy is the real issue this round, so you have to pick a Republican or commit economic suicide by voting for a dem-wit. If the democrats were not in favor of going back to the old "raise taxes a lot and raise spending a WHOLE LOT" plan, then I would consider them. The reason that Clinton looked so good in terms of the economy in the 1990s is because his party lost Congress in the Nov. '94 elections, thus putting the Republican Congress in charge of the economy.

"Nineteen percent said the procedure should be legal under all circumstances."

ie.., 81% of Republicans want current abortion laws changed...

To Rodney, Dallas Texas

This is the first time, in a long time I may add, that have seen such an intlligent and educational posting, thank you sir.

As for the full of hatred majority, learn to be civil and accept people as they are not as you would want them to be.

Like this is a shock to anyone? Republicans will never accept gays even if science proves that people are born gay. Research has been done and has showed that gay men contain the same INAH3 in the hypothalamus gland as straigt women. For those of you that don't know, INAH3 is the gland that controls sexual interest. The brain is programmed to be interested in someone of the same sex. Being gay is not a choice so why discrimate against gays for something they can't control.

What are you trying to do with this? Are you attempting to get people to argue and cover up the fact that there are REAL problems facing us?

Our ENTIRE country is about to FALL. Our government is STEALING money from banking systems. We have men and women DYING in Iraq.

All the media can do is what the government tells them to do. Use hot topic issues to distract the voters.

Man I can't wait for the punishment to begin.

In true Republican style, these voters have decided that it's okay to kill babies but not okay for two people who love each other to get married. Great logic. It just shows how bigoted Republicans are.

Republicans can always be counted on to try to dictate other peoples personal lives. The country is in the middle of a horrendous war and head over heels in debt but they know what is important.

It doesn't really matter what Florida Republicans want. When you vote for a Conservative, you don't get what you are promised. You vote against abortion, you get the Central American Free Trade Association. You vote against gay marriage, you get a budget deficit. You vote against flag burning, you get tax breaks for the oil industry. All of that flag waving they do is just hustling the suckers one more time. You vote for lower taxes, you get a $42 tax refund and a $50,000 deficit for every man, woman, and child.

But, every time a Conservative thumps the tub, a crowd gathers around to applaud for a man who will make their lives worse.

I really find it hard to believe in this day and age that 77% of the population doesn't think that everyone should have the same rights. I'm blown away by the perpetuation of hate in this country and especially by the good "moral" crowd. You people are sick!!
