Ron Paul wins New Hampshire straw poll, raises 1.5 million in a day!

[Mr.blonde]

You heard it right folks. Ron Paul has won the New Hampshire straw poll of which he will get virtually NO media coverage because of the zionist Jews that control the media.

Ron Paul did all of this with NO corporate bribes, NO media coverage, NO celebrity 'help' and NO change of principles and beliefs to cater to the masses. He did it simply with the contributions of American's with hard-earned money who answered when liberty called. Why is Ron Paul getting so much support on the internet? Freedom is popular and the internet is the purest form of a free and open society, all of which Ron Paul advocate. Today is the day that America awakens. It is up to we the people to fight for our freedoms.

I've been a fan of Ron Paul ever since 2008 when a few bumper stickers caught my attention. I began to notice him on news channels. Liked pretty much everything he's had to say since then.

Wooow that so good of you. I, and a lot of other people I'm sure, love how long you've been a fan of Ron Paul and the reason that he caught your attention is so interesting! Good for you Seitzy!

Things to keep in mind:

• Ron Paul is at heart a Libertarian, not really a Republican in the contemporary sense. Libertarians hold conservative views on how the government should run but are divided on social issues like abortion. He also has a pretty strong isolationist standpoint which loses him points in the patriotism factor.
• New Hampshire is a generally regarded as a liberal blue state. Whatever Republican population it has probably doesn't identify as much with the Bible Belt stronghold of the South. Some of his stances like marijuana legalization/decriminalization may appeal to liberals and less to Tea Partyers.
• He has a strong online/young person presence and popularity. This age demographic is notorious for low voter turnout.

I do, however, hope he continues to do well.

he mad. It's good a 3rd party candidate is getting this much attention. I have a feeling he won't win but he should at least be able to bring some of his ideals into the main political arena. HOORAY FOR SLOW CHANGE!

George Washington for example was all for isolationism.

I respect a lot of what he has to say but the fact is he's in his mid 90's and at that age you shouldn't be running the country. Your mental faculty's just aren't the same at that age.

This is a totalitarian country. So there is no chance for Paul. He is there to cheat the public that US is democratic country. That's all. Though he is the most popular candidate, he will be suppressed.

The media is trying REALLY hard to hide the fact that Ron Paul is a serious contender
　
　
Ron Paul wins a "Who Won the GOP Debate" poll in Fox News, and after seeing how Ron Paul won by a HUGE margin, Fox News decides to quickly erase it. Funny how all of the media sources, both liberal and conservative, are trying so hard to keep him under the rug. Here's the original Fox News poll: Iowa GOP Debate - Topix [40,000 votes, he got 24,000 of them... more than 4 times the guy in second place].

And these things are happening everywhere (meaning, Ron Paul getting a significant amount of support from both sides, and getting pushed off as insignificant.)

And here is the new one Fox started (Ron Paul STILL winning by a landslide): Who Won the GOP Debate? - FoxNews.com. Guess they'll have to erase this one as well.

What do Fox News, CNN, MSNBS, etc, and all these other garbage news sources have in common? They are all run by corporate interest!

Now on to MSNBC:

Once again, the Anti-Ron-Paul rhetoric is everywhere. Notice how MSNBC bolded out every republican candidate in the Iowa Straw Poll... except Ron Paul, as if he were last place or anywhere near there (Yes, they bolded out the last guy as well).

First Read - Bachmann wins Ames straw poll

These aren't just coincidence. Both sides are trying hard, real hard, to hide the fact that Ron Paul is a serious contended.

Open your eyes folks: These things are happening LEFT and RIGHT (meaning everywhere and from both liberal and conservative sources).

This is the best post that you have ever made. Why try to force democracy down other people's throats? This is not what our forefathers would have wanted and then we reason that they hate us because we are more free than they are. Maybe they hate us because we are invading their country? Ron Paul has stated numerous times that Iran doesn't even have an airforce to attack us with, but it is not absurd to understand why the have nuclear arms seeing how all of their neighbors such as India, Pakistan etc have them as well.

GOP Operatives Fear Lasting Ron Paul Problem

"Ron Paul is going to destroy this party if they keep him in there," said Rush Limbaugh the day after the Aug. 11 Fox News-Washington Examiner debate in Ames. "This is nuts on parade."

Well, at first I thought it was a very inappropriate question, you know, for the presidency to be decided on a scientific matter. And uh, I um, I think it's a theory — the theory of evolution. And I don't accept it, you know, as a theory. But it really doesn't bother me, it's not the most important issue for me, to make the difference in my life, to understand the exact origin. I think the creator that I know, uh, you know created us, every one of us and created the universe, and the precise time and manner and uh, you know, I just don't think we're at the point where anybody has absolute proof on either side.

Military used to be considered as pro-right, pro-GOP. But it's Ron Paul got their votes. Either in 2008 election, or in this one.

Ron Paul raises most campaign cash from military workers

GOP presidential hopeful Ron Paul has said the U.S. should get out of Afghanistan and Iraq.
　
By Patrick Semansky, APGOP presidential hopeful Ron Paul consistently has said that the United States should get out of Afghanistan and Iraq and that American military bases around the world should be closed.

In this campaign, Paul is getting more donations from people who work for the military than either President Obama or any of the other Republican presidential candidates. That analysis comes from Paul's campaign and was confirmed recently by Politifact, the fact-checking project of the St. Petersburg Times.
