Ron Paul Wins CPAC 2012 Presidential Straw Poll

[Revolting cat!]

Will the First Lady be the, uh, notorious Paula?

[Clyde5445]

You know it bad when Mitten gets beat up by RuPaul.

[SJackson]

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.

Romney's is bigger, but I do recall criticizing Coulter in 2008 for stealing the thunder of Romney's CPAC win. Forgot what she said. And not much thunder. Two candidates who can raise lots of money and lose, though one loses much more dramatically than the other, not a fair comparison.

You mean like the one posted above?:

Thank you for your service....

But Ron Paul is a pretender...he is a fringe libertarian, not a conservative with libertarian beliefs.

It is fact that he despised and thought Reagan was embarassing. You can’t be a conservative and despise Reagan.

2400 out of 10,000 in attendance voted. Not an accurate representation at all

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?

Whatever the reason such a small % voted

We know that, why?

Are you a Paul supporter

I'm not the issue here...lol

[FreeReign]

That's not true and how would you know that?

Google it. You can find old archives of FreeRepublic from way back.

LOL! I don't need to Google it. You're wrong.

I find it difficult to relate your post to your tagline.

Thanks, m, I found this site:

"Ron Paul on the Issues"

[mnehring]

OnTheIssues is one of my favorite resources. It takes a holistic view of voting records and positions. The position charts at the bottom are good for a visual comparison to other candidates.

You should hear McCain campaigning at home in Arizona for his endangered Senate seat. He SOUNDS so conservative he could be me, ROFL!!

[SeattleBruce]

“I guess the republican party is in worse shape then I thought. I will not support mitt, ron is probably not electable and Sarah is supporting mccain.”

Jim Demint?
Mike Pence?

I don’t think Sarah’s outta the picture yet.

[kingattax]

CPAC is now a homosexual RINO fest.

what a visual !

[Clint N. Suhks]

I find it difficult to relate your post to your tagline.

I'm pretty sure Reagan wasn't referring to pervert marriage supporters.

[ichabod1]

According to his radio spots, Ron Paul is the founder of the tea party movement.

[STARWISE]

Thanks ...

[GregB]

That explains Sarah getting 7%!!!

[SeattleBruce]

“All this does is prove beyond any doubt that CPAC is no longer conservative.”

Well, they’re cheering on a good speech/presentation by Beck anyhow...but the straw poll is just weird/distressing...wonder how many get to vote in that??

[Brices Crossroads]

“I don’t think Sarah’s outta the picture yet.”

No one else is in the picture. She is it. Accept no substitute.

[Kimberly GG]

At one time there were many Ron Paul supporters here...just like at one time there were many Rudy Guiliani supporters here. However, I wouldn’t consider either candidate as ever having been “highly regarded on FreeRepublic”.
