Ron Paul Wins CPAC 2012 Presidential Straw Poll
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
You have only been here since 2008, interesting.
I recall going back to at least 2001 people were critical of Paul. People here are critical of all politicians.
Who’s Ron Paul?
This shows me that CPAC is a joke. The people love Sarah Palin, it’s the do-nothing RINOs and their minions that do not.
There is also a large amount of one day passes today, CFL and YAL bussed in a lot of people with one day passes.
It seems to beg the question:
Why if other candidates could be voted for, and were on the agenda, why did they fail to vote?
think 7600 additional votes might have changed the outcome
Want to try that again?

I keep hearing people on talk radio talking up Mitt Romney. They’ve gotta be kidding me. This is the same guy that got his ass kicked by McCain. He’s the governor of Massachusetts, that’s all you have to know about what a loser he is.
Google it. You can find old archives of FreeRepublic from way back. I researched it one night when trying to find posts from 9-11 to see the posts from that horrible day in America. I did this on 9/11's anniversary a year or two ago. Ron Paul was highly regarded on FreeRepublic.
Any idea how the same CPAC straw poll lined up with our 2008 primary candidates?
Romney and Paul are a lot alike. They both have small groups of cult like followers who make them win all the polls yet can never translate that into votes.
Say what? How bizarre...
“I think 7600 additional votes might have
changed the outcome .. ust sayin’”
They didn’t care enough to stay and vote, even though Mitt paid a lot of money to underwrite this thing, I am sure, and he certainly did not want to lose. People are about as enthusiastic for hims as they are for a hemorrhoidectomy. If he pays their way, they don’t even stay to vote for him.
Excuse me? What is so unconservative about real money and auditing the Federal Reserve? Pro - LIFE, Ron Paul is far more conservative than the RINOS occupying Congress and Senate seats.
I don't remember that. What name were you posting under in those days, or did you "lurk" for a decade before mustering the courage to post.
**Sarah Palin 7%
—You can fool some of the people some of the time...
+++++++++++++++
Then, how do you account for Ron Paul winning and Romneycare coming in 2nd?
It seems to beg the question:
Why if other candidates could be voted for, and were on the agenda, why did they fail to vote?
They didn’t care enough to stay and vote,
Why, if they were Paul, Palin, or supporters of someone else? Did they know the outcome prior to the vote?
Mitt Romney won the 2008 CPAC straw poll.

No ...
Whatever the reason such a small % voted,
I don’t think it’s an accurate representation.
A small percentage of those there voted.
I do wonder why.
Are you a Paul supporter ?
