Ron Paul has pulled off a reapeat, winning the CPAC presidential straw poll once again with 30 percent of the vote.
Mitt Romney finished second with 23 percent ... Newt Gingrich at 5 percent; Tim Pawlenty, Michelle Bachmann and Mitch Daniels at 4 percent, Sarah Palin at 3 percent, and everybody else at 2 percent or less.

Thanks. I watched all 3 parts. Wow!
Were these contributions to DemonRATs before he was elected Finance Chairman of the Republican National Committee? It looks like Eisenberg has had other epiphany moments.
No state has the "right" to murder anyone (don't confuse justified homocide, i.e. capital punishment with abortion). Up until SCOTUS decided in 1973 that they couldn't distinguish between the two, the laws of our land protected the innocent unborn.
"This preservation of innocent life was viewed by our Founding Fathers as one of the chief purposes of civil government. As Thomas Jefferson explained, “the care of human life. . .is the fist and only legitimate object of good government.” And the Declaration of Independence similarly declared: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men . . .are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life. . . .[And] that to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men.”
Consequently, the Founders established numerous laws to protect innocent life – laws prohibiting murder, suicide (which the Founders termed “self-murder”), assisted suicide, abortion, and infanticide. Yet, in protecting life, the Founders understood that respect for innocent life would dwindle if the influence of religion were reduced in the nation."
Link to God, Government and the Preservation of Life
In fact, were Roe V. Wade to be overturned, that's exactly what the stated of the law would be.
Yep, "you can murder in this state, but not in this one, the majority says so."
Yeah, except for all those she beat. Not to mention, she didn't even go to CPAC, and has never wavered on her fastidious avoidence of these twerps.
They chose Ron Paul.
Again.
'Nuff said. We'll see how she does in the "poll" that counts.
8^D
The torch like Pubs, are unelectable. Ron Paul and his cohorts packed the Hall like they did last time out. A great choice for him would be if a Pub won, to accept the SEC of Treasury post! What a hoot that would be! It appears that the public will not elect a lightning rod. Too bad but those are the facts. Daniels could sweep in if he had a VP choice with heft like Thune, even Mitt, Christie , or even Newt or Paws. They will need a national ticket this time to cut down on the Blue State advantage that the Bamster has.
it’s easy to dismiss CPAC as a libertarian lovefest
Yes Siree, its easy cause its a fact jack.
Does anyone, even the paulnutties, think Lil’ Wildeyed Ron has a snowball’s chance in hell? No.
CPAC was overrun with the Paulnuts and the Gay Mafia.
You are right about that. Why would Trump even mention Ron Paul in his speech to CPAC if he did not already know the fix was in for Paul?
“packed the Hall”
I bet there was a lot of “Hall Packing” going on...
That’s interesting — one commenter said there was an announcement coming regarding Bruce and Palin; and another spoke of GOProud dropping their support for Gay Marriage after an Ann Coulter speech at CPAC.
CPAC has been penatrated by leftist anti-war homosexual loving Paultards, it is a sad shell of itself.
I also like Ron Paul. He has been one of the most principled members of Congress we’ve had. This straw vote should be taken simply as a sign we’re sick of RINOs, and not an occasion to bash Rep. Paul.
And by the way - do we really need all the homo bashing, Gay Mafia, etc? Really?.... Totally classless, and NOT HELPFUL to the Constitutionalist cause y’all. (Like that NEEDS to be stated.)
Palin’s a fine spokesperson for Constitutional principles, but we are looking for viable candidates.
If she runs, I’d vote for her. But let’s be frank - she has lots of kids, and really needs to concentrate on being a mom. If she does run, she should actively ‘outsource’ major research tasks such as monetary policy reform to others who have the time, knowledge about these issues and the educational heft needed ... like Ron Paul, Mitch Daniels, others.
Do you really support continued military “welfare” to countries like Japan, S. Korea and Germany? That is the type of spending reform supporters of Ron Paul are looking at - ending those types of largess. Let’s not exaggerate, and suggest Paul supporters are anti-national defense, if that works for you. Thanks
Well...that shows you the class and intelect of people who attend CRACK...
If you don't understand the difference between opposing the homosexual agenda aka cultural rot aka secularist humanism aka Godless socialism versus hating individuals who are gay (”homo bashing,” which as a Christian I loath), then there is no point in having a discussion with you.
I do too...BTW, good post!
I am for privatizing education. Not a state-mandated homosexual education curriculum for schools. You can request the appropriate curriculum at the private school you choose for your kids. Please don’t distort the issue of gay rights, in general. You sound like an Iranian theocrat. Let’s try & respect individual freedom, and not get too nutty.
