- Wow, straw polls must be important.
- Wow. I'm completely convinced. Forget the credentials. Ron Paul should be President of the United States ..for life.
- so, I still don't care for the guy.

Obama and McCain were second and third in donations from military and veterans. http://phreadom.blogspot.com/2007/07/ron-paul-is-most-financially-military.html http://query.nictusa.com/pres/2007/Q2/ 1 Paul http://query.nictusa.com/pres/2007/Q2/C00432914/A_EMPLOYER_C00432914.html 2 Obama http://query.nictusa.com/pres/2007/Q2/C00431445/A_EMPLOYER_C00431445.html 3 McCain http://query.nictusa.com/pres/2007/Q2/C00430470/A_EMPLOYER_C00430470.html 4 Clinton http://query.nictusa.com/pres/2007/Q2/C00431569/A_EMPLOYER_C00431569.html 5 Richardson http://query.nictusa.com/pres/2007/Q2/C00431577/A_EMPLOYER_C00431577.html 6 Romney http://query.nictusa.com/pres/2007/Q2/C00431171/A_EMPLOYER_C00431171.html 7 Edwards http://query.nictusa.com/pres/2007/Q2/C00431205/A_ELECTION_C00431205.html 8 Giuliani http://query.nictusa.com/pres/2007/Q2/C00430512/A_EMPLOYER_C00430512.html Tancredo, Ron Paul, and Hunter have the most conservative voting records on immigration. http://www.betterimmigration.com/candidates/2006/prez08_gop2.html http://www.betterimmigration.com/candidates/2006/prez08_gop3.html http://www.betterimmigration.com/candidates/2006/prez08_gop1.html Tancredo and Ron Paul have the best voting records for reducing government spending according to the National Taxpayers Union. They were the only candidates to score 100 percent "A" Grades from 1992 to 2005. http://www.ntu.org/main/page.php?PageID=97# Sportsbook.com rates both Paul and Romney at 8 to 1 odds which is approximately an 11 percent chance of becoming the next President. Mitt Romney's campaign only had 35 percent more cash than Ron Paul after subtracting debts on 06/30/2007. http://herndon1.sdrdc.com/cgi-bin/cancomsrs/?_08+P80000748 http://herndon1.sdrdc.com/cgi-bin/cancomsrs/?_08+P80003353 Paul's campaign has almost 5 times as much money to spend as Tancredo. http://herndon1.sdrdc.com/cgi-bin/cancomsrs/?_08+P80003429 Romney's contributions from individuals dropped by a third from the first quarter to the second quarter. Paul's contributions almost quadrupled from Q1 to Q2. http://projects.washingtonpost.com/2008-presidential-candidates/?nid=roll_08campaign Ron Paul received more than 10 times as much in donations in the last week of June as he received in the first week of April. http://query.nictusa.com/pres/2007/Q2/C00432914/A_DATE_C00432914.html Ron Paul's $2.4 million in fundraising after the second quarter placed him: 4th in total receipts to date 3rd in total current assets (ahead of former front-runner John McCain, and just $800,000 behind Mitt Romney) Thus far, 47% of the contributions made to Ron Paul's campaign are donations of under $200 from individuals (John McCain's 17% is the second-highest percentage). http://www.usaelectionpolls.com/2008/articles/ron-paul-small-donors-love-him.html This is a telling statistic, as it highlights the fact that most other candidates rely heavily upon donations from corporate interests and political action committees (PACs) (i.e. moneyed, influence-seeking sources who can readily afford to contribute large sums). Since Congressman Paul has always voted against special favors and privileges for anyone, special interests know they have nothing to gain by stuffing Ron Paul's campaign coffers. As one member of my local Meetup group put it on a home-made sign, "Ron Paul is thin because he won't let special interests buy him lunch." http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig8/sutton1.html
- OK, what is your question! Can't figure out one, let me! Who in the hell is Ron Paul
- Straw polls don't mean a thing. General election polls are the ones that count, since THAT is how the president is elected. Take a look at these numbers. He's barely showing up on the radar at all, with somewhere between 2 and 3 percent. And there is not just one poll, there are many reinforcing that he will never win a general election. http://www.pollingreport.com/wh08rep.htm
- Did you know that Ron Paul also won the Presidential debate the other night according to FOX's own polling. He received 33% of the votes. But you had to be watching that night, because FOX is concealing that fact now. http://www.foxnews.com/column_archive/0,2976,86,00.html Polls | AP Polls | Gallup Poll | Opinion Polls - FOXNews.com FOX did the same thing when Ron Paul won their debate with 27% of the votes back in May. But, once again, FOX will not even post their own poll on their own website. http://www.newshounds.us/2007/05/17/fox_hides_their_own_poll_results.php News Hounds: FOX hides their own poll results
- All he is doing is taking votes away from the Republican Party and insuring we have another Clinton in the White House in 2008. In short if you want another Clinton in the White House vote for Dr. Paul, thats the same way BJ Clinton won.
- The mainstream media is trying their level best to keep Ron Paul out of the White House. They keep saying he has between 2 & 3% in national polls, and I'm sorry, but that doesn't ring true. I think everyone knows the corporate media has a corporate agenda, and Ron Paul is not a part of it. Yahoo failed to mention his name even once in their article covering the debate this week. His campaign has over 40,000 volunteers, which again rates him 1st. Obama is 2nd with over 5,000 volunteers. If these trends in straw polls, fundraising, and volunteers continue, he will be the front-runner for the Republican nomination by this spring, though I'm betting the media will still speak of him as a fringe candidate, as they're paid to do.
- As long as Clinton and Guiliani are kept away from the white house it's all good.
- ron paul= death to america
- Unimpressive, however, it shows how stupid Americans really are. Paul is a first class moron who doesn't have the slightest idea about what he is talking about.
- Ron Paul is a hero and is the most intelligent and knowledgeable candidate of them all His answers show that he sees the big picture. This is why he is winning. I hope enough democrats come over and help him win the primary. He is the establishments worst nightmare. Help free us from our oppressor's Dr Paul.
- So THAT'S why his head is filled with straw!!
