Bigger look

Perry Wins IPad and IPhone Vote (We CAN take on China and win!) ……..”Though the A5 chip has always been designed in America (at Apple’s HQ in California, to be specific), Apple has previously relied on Samsung’s overseas factory for production. Apple reportedly began receiving chips from Samsung’s U.S.-based factory earlier this month. The new production line cost a cool $3.5 billion ($9 Billion according to Austin Chamber of Commerce) to construct and is said to be the size of nine football fields. Apple has previously relied on low-cost manufacturers in Asia.”…..

I’m really hoping Ron Paul wins. Make a mockery out of the whole thing. The GOP is simply not running a serious race this year (they rarely do).

[Cincinatus' Wife]

I sincerely hope Ron Paul sinks before he sinks the country.

[Beagle8U]

A Paultard win in Iowa, or any other state, means Obumble wins in Nov.

If that retard wins anything he WILL run 3rd party!

[HereInTheHeartland]

“I’m really hoping Ron Paul wins. “

Oh that would be fantastic wouldn't it. People really don't get what a threat this current administration is. There may be nothing left to salvage after 4 more years of the current wrecking crew.

Please ping us, when the iPad and iPhone manufacturing is moved to Texas, from the Peoples Republic of China.

:D

Sarah Palin must really enjoy seeing the word ‘retard’ whenever she stops by this site...we can disagree with Paul’s foreign policy, but ‘retard’ is hardly appropriate.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

Hear, hear!

PS Governor Palin, while you’re reading that post sticking up for you, how about, you reconsider that decision you made?

For real.

[Redmen4ever]

Looks like Ron Paul peaked too soon.

[HereInTheHeartland]

Also I would add; I think Paul is going to do better than people think; sigh....

He is taking the people that Palin could have energized into a strong Reagan type coalition.
Many of these Paul supporters see Paul as the nuclear bomb to throw in the middle of things to try to radically remake the system.
They are willing to overlook his fatal foreign policy flaws.

Sarah had her chance for over a year to “run”. She strung people along with hopes she would run(including me); waited on bated breath for that annnouncement...month after month...until she finaly said “I am not running”.

The GOP is simply not running a serious race this year (they rarely do).

I'm coming to that line of thinking, too. The GOP "candidates" are more interested in burning off each other's flesh than attacking Obama.

And the sad part is... even though the chances of defeating Obama are slim, at least they exist. The only one-upping these people should be doing is outlining how much they can overturn the damage caused by this dark era that's been foisted upon us.

If the GOP were in fact serious, there's no way Ron Paul would be garnering double digits anywhere.

“I’m coming to that line of thinking, too. The GOP “candidates” are more interested in burning off each other’s flesh than attacking Obama.”

-

Seems to this poster, a lot of that is originating from Mitt Alinsky. From behind a carefully maintained firewall of plausible deniability. Remember all the “concern trolls”?

Same as last go around - the good people were all knocked out, leaving McCain of all people.

Which was how we ended up with McCain.

Regrettably I agree. Had she gone a more traditional route of building some official ground game and establishing a presence---rather than relying on "election by acclamation" (something that didn't even work for Douglas MacArthur!) she would now be in position to be the anti-Romney.

I counted on the GOP main candidates to see that their best chance to win the nomination was to surpass the other in criticism of OBAMA, but instead, like fools, they took the media bait and attacked each other. Rather than elevating themselves, they only eroded the support for other viable candidates.

I do think it is possible, but not likely, that if Paul wins IA, Palin could say, "This just isn't acceptable" and jump in. This would temporarily coalesce the conservatives around her (the way others have temporarily had the base coalesce around them) until each of the other candidates began the circular firing squad and eroded her numbers. But it would be interesting.

Well that’s just great. Let’s just keep fighting amongst outselfs so Romney or Paul can win.

Amen. When our own candidates are cowed by political correctness and the RNC; you KNOW we are in real trouble.

Except for Gingrich - but we see how well that's working out for him.

[littlesorrel]

What if Paul’s people check Romney’s signatures in Virginia and he is found to not meet required number of signatures. Then Paul would really show the GOP establishment for what it is. Crony capitalism on display.
