My understanding is a bunch of college students skewed this vote so I wouldn’t put much stock in it other than it does show we have a lot of work to do on the campuses.

I think Rush used to refer to Ross Perot as a hand grenade with a bad haircut.
Ron Paul would be as a hand grenade with a REALLY bad haircut.

A vote for Ross will Guarantee 4 more years of Obama !

Here's the significance of H. Ross Perot:
In a year with Ronald Reagan's VP in the White House, and the very popular Bent One on the Democratic ticket, a paranoid dwarf got nineteen million votes for President, based on his warnings about out-of-control government spending.
A real politician, with a conservative agenda, who rejected both parties "business as usual", would win in a landslide.

Exactly, this straw was nonsense and the usual crap pulled off by college kids.
These pundits and bloggers have so little to write about they take a easily manipulated poll by Ron Paul college nutters and blow it out of proportion.

The Ron Paul supporters were planning this as far back as April last year. Just Google it and you’ll find their tracks all over the web.

No he wouldn’t. Pat Buchanan ran on a conservative agenda and got like 0.01% of the vote. 77-year-old Paul would not fare any better.

Bunch of kids voting. Libertarianism is something that appeals to immature minds that have been educated beyond their intelligence and wisdom. Hopefully they grow out of it. Some never do.

Ron Paula, does not have a chance to win an election..I really hope he doesn't mess it up for a good candidate..Look what happened, if Ross Perot had not of run Clinton would never have been elected..So if these people want another Obama or the same Obama in the white house then by all means Ron Paul is your man to do that..

Yup — “conservatives” WILL snatch defeat from the jaws of victory if Ron Paul becomes the Republican nominee for President in 2012 — or the acknowleged front runner in the run up to the midterms.
This will only demonstrate that many who call themselves “conservatives” are either [extreme] Libertarian posers or reactionaries — NOT principled Conservatives. We don’t need “knee-jerk” conservatism — all it does is react emotionally, and too often irrationally. And Libertarians, while great on most economic matters, invite disaster on foreign policy and national defense.
Beware Conservatives. Abandon your principles to satisfy your emotional desires and you will not only lose, you will doom the country.

My son while he was in college, Economics and Finance, was at a conference at the Von Mises institute and had dinner with one of his professors (a friend of Ron Paul)and Ron Paul.
His comment on the dinner was that Ron Paul was a really nice guy, very bright but completely nuts. He liked him but wouldn’t vote for him.

Same as going on one of those on-line polls. This is of no value.

Yeah. But without Perot's apparent homespun common sense. The only thing Ron Paul seems to understand for sure is the problem with our paper money. That's not enough. We have other enemies out there, and Ron Paul doesn't seem to understand.

It is disjointed and idiotic Utopian thinking that is a poor sister to the left that it is closer to in ideology then conservatism.
It is a parasite that can never live on its own so tries to latch onto anything conservative for support.
It needs to rot alongside its other failed liberal belief systems.

I bet I’m the only one here who’s been in Ross Perot’s house, pool and gymnasium.
I was 12.

I consider myself a Tea Party man and support most of the things Ron Paul does. However, I see my mission not as a third party but as a force to bring the Republican party back to its roots as in the Regan Years.
