The Paul-tards did this last time, they would spam a straw poll, crow like roosters and when the actual primary took place, nobody voted for Paul.

No one is falling for it again. Go crow on Stormfront, I hear the racists like Paul there.

some dude from an organization called stormfront stood next to Ron Paul and had his picture taken. So, you know. They’re the same, I guess. Nobody knows anything about this stormfront organization, especially what they look like. But they were in the same picture at some event.

The people arguing against Ron Paul really don’t have a lot of material. The acceptable foreign policy, which is, basically, Obama’s foreign policy, and therefore conservative, is not one that Ron Paul shares. So there are some people who would rather vote for someone like Newt who expanded Medicare.

I can’t tell the difference between a “Conservative” foreign policy and Clinton and Obama’s foreign policy.

I know that Bush, Clinton, Bush and Obama have been involved in far more military conflicts than Reagan, the Conservative.

But the Bush, Clinton, Bush and Obama foreign policy is “Conservative”.

Its right out of the liberal playbook. Disagee with obama = you’re racist. And ive heard that stormfront bs too. They are a total non-entity. but its intersting that the only people who i ever hear mention them - want to smear paul.

no idea. there was an argument a little while ago that Cain might’ve been winning more straw polls than Paul. Not any more. It’s indicative of whatever it is that it’s indicative of. It says that Ron Paul wins these straw polls. I have no idea if other campaigns or grassroots care about these straw polls to try to win them. I know that Ron Paul likes to win them. So they win a lot of them. But not all of them. Sometimes the campaign cares and we usually win those. But Bachmann did win Ames. So, you know.

It’s relevant to some degree. Isn’t the Presidential Election one of the things that should be discussed? Straw Polls are an important part of the process. They’re worth discussing. Non stop talking about whether or not Cain is being smeared or if the whores are actually telling the truth isn’t the only thing happening in politics. Whether or not Newts wife might be getting sick and the chances of him dumping her if she doesn’t get well soon is worth talking about, but real things that real voters, real people do are also worth talking about.

well, yeah, the only place you’re going to see the word “stormfront” is on freerepublic on a ron paul thread.

But they aren’t saying that really. It was a complete non-sequitur. They have about 10 random attack lines on Ron Paul, and maybe none of them fit. Since all I was doing was posting the results of a straw poll, it’s hard to see where they really have anything to latch onto.

I know there are a lot of freepers who won’t accept anything but the Republican/Democrat Conservative/Liberal foreign policy that hasn’t changed since 1989.

Well said. These straw polls theoretically could be strong indicaters, but in the end they mean nothing. Paul supporters do infact spam the polls, but in the end the ballots in the primaries are what count and Paul always goes down in flames at that time.
