In previous years, let’s say 2007 and 2008, Ron Pauls supporters weren’t as numerous (2007), or were either too inexperienced or were beaten by active campaigns (2008). Nobody is running now, not Paul, Romney, Palin or anyone else.
Paul has passionate supporters and a self organizing campaign.
I was pretty surprised by the convincing victory at CPAC.

“That’s your analysis? The Democrats did this?”

My analysis is Obama is not a Democrat, he is a communist that is why in his races for Illinois State Senator he was supported by the Communist New Party (of which Obama was a card-carrying member) and why in 2008 in his Presidential race he was supported by the Communist USA party and he had prominent Communist fundraisers touring with his campaign.

My analysis is that Obama is a figurehead of an organization that consists of a collaboration of the global Muslim Brotherhood network which includes radical Islamic fundamentalists (Hamas, Hizbollah, Al Qaeda) with is why obama supports and meets with representatives of some of these groups and his advisors and envoys are taken from organizations with ties from these groups, Black Muslim Liberationists including the Black Panther Party, the Black Liberation Army, and the Nation of Islam, as well as Communists which include Marxists, Maoists, and Leninists.

The Communists have been in league with the global Muslim Brotherhood since 1928 in an effort to topple Western capitalist free enterprise societies for the purpose of domination and conversion of the world’s peoples to Islam.
Obama’s grandfather, father, Uncle, and first cousin have all been prominent in Kenyan Communist politics, three of them at the national level, two of them as Vice presidents. Obama’s mother was also openly a Communist. Also, by his own admission on his father’s side Obama comes from generation upon generation upon generation of Arabs.

These two entities are in league because they share many common goals that each will take much longer to achieve if they act alone.

Ordinary citizens are just seeing Ron Paul Wins. It’s actually a fairly big news story. CPAC has been around quite a long time, and has a significant reputation.

Most here would like the story to be “Palin doesn’t attend CPAC, therefore CPAC is a joke” or “Paul, who we don’t like, wins CPAC, therefore CPAC is a joke”. But that simply isn’t the story. The story, as it has been playing out, is simply Ron Paul Wins CPAC.

Good thing you weren’t reading Gary North in 1999. He was pushing “Y2K will kill us all” pretty hard. I like him, but he was really off on that one.

Ron Paul is very conservative.

I don’t buy the whole Communists + Islam thing.

I’m in the minority here, but I’m just not that concerned about the Islams. The Global Socialists (Glozis), Communists, and their International Banker backers, yes, but the Islams, no. The Islams were irrelevant to world affairs 100 years ago.

Al Gore’s daughter married a Great Great Grandson of Jacob Schiff. The ties between contemporary Democrats and Global Communists / International Bankers are clear and numerous.

The ties between Communists and Islam are tenuous.

This makes more sense than the Communist + Islam argument.

What I find surprising is that the MSM is reporting on Ron Paul’s victory so heavily. Typically, they ignore him whenever possible. Something has changed, I presume, but I’m not sure what.

I like the theory of libertarianism...

but there is so much that smacks of anarchy as to make the large L liberatrians just plain looney.

“The ties between Communists and Islam are tenuous.”

The ties are not tenuous between Communists and Islam when:
(a) the Communists are African Muslims
(b) the Communists are radical terrorists, the majority of whom are members of various branches of the global Muslim Brotherhood network, and all hate America and have a Communist Muslim African friend in a very powerful position
(c) the Communists are radical domestic terrorists (such as Weather Underground) who are in prominent positions in politics and/or Education circles and can help advance the cause of the American Black Muslims who are members of the Muslim Brotherhood USA, the Black Panther Party, the Nation of Islam, and/or the Black Liberation Army

Obama is an African Muslim who is a SOMALI elder in a region where those of his Luo tribe participate in the activities of the Al-Qaeda cells that are located in Kenya near the SOMALI border and operate freely as they are supported by Obama’s blood thirsty first cousin and Communist Muslim Vice President of Kenya Raila Amollo Odinga, whom Obama campaigned for in person while a U.S. Senator in 2006.

Previous to CPAC the MSM very successfully branded Ron paul a 9/11 truther (on video) and in a TWELVE-page article published in today’s NYT they are tying him in with the dangerous “fringe” political movement known as the “Tea Party”.

The MSM WANTS conservatives at CPAC to pick Ron Paul. They think that if he continues to run for Pres., he will split the conservative vote which is needed in order for the Democrat candidate to win.

Could the Big Money - Country Club Rhinos be trying to secure a victory in the primaries with their “ Big Tent “ philosophy to make it harder for a real conservative to win? ( ie securing the gay vote - which they probably believe will bring in more democrat votes ) The old “reach across the isle” B.S.

Or is CPAC favoring the libertarian definition of non Traditional conservatism - secular - capitalism, etc.

I think I read between 2500 and 3000 voted of the 10,000 who attended and most of the voters were young college kids.

It proves nothing of the sort.

Anyone at CPAC—attending or roaming around- can vote in this straw poll..the ron Paul kids just kept repeat voting and made sure they had the numbers. it is not a closed, verified poll. it means nothing.

I doubt that Ron Paul is running for President again. He's just too old.

Once Rand Paul has won the US Senate seat in Kentucky, I expect he'll become the de facto leader of the Paul faction.

If so, that probably works in Sarah Palin's favor, since she and Rand Paul are pretty much arm-in-arm, politically.
