Ron Paul Doesn't Have A Chance

[BrotherEastman]

I'd vote for RP.

He's by far the most sensibly candidate of either party. I sent him $50.

You are grateful that he has NOT felt pressured to vote IN FAVOR of the CONSTITUTION on all accounts?

Okay, forget it. There is NO WAY that I could vote for him, then. I am a strict constructionist regarding the Constitution, and feel that we could turn this nation around if we could get back to it.

You are not reading what I said correctly. I said he is NOT pressured by outside forces to always vote in favor of the Constitution. He always upholds the Constitution and weighs everyone to be voted on by that.

In other words, he is not intimidated "politically" to vote in favor of the Constitution. He isn't trying to please anyone but the American people.

Let me word that in a better way. I know what I'm saying, but you don't. LOL

In other words, he is not intimidated "politically" when he votes and it it always in favor of the Constitution. He isn't trying to please anyone but the American people.

Most of his ideas are what the American people want and so I don't know what the big uproar about him not being a viable candidate is.

He's getting re-elected in Texas. Doesn't that say something? I live in a largely Democratic area and he wins here too! In our precinct.

Maybe these kinds of polling numbers kind of lead most of us to believe that he is NOT a viable candidate:

Orginally printed in a Rasmussen Reports article:

For the seven days ending August 19, 2007, Rudy Giuliani earns 25% of the vote. Fred Thompson is second at 21% followed by Mitt Romney at 14%. John McCain now earns 12% support followed by Mike Huckabee at 4%. Four other candidate split 4% of the vote while 19% are undecided. Those candidates, mentioned by name in the polling question, are Sam Brownback, Ron Paul, Duncan Hunter, and Tom Tancredo.

Its not hard to figure out.........

He's getting re-elected in Texas. Doesn't that say something? I live in a largely Democratic area and he wins here too! In our precinct.

Barney Frank gets re-elected every year too.

What was funny was that a couple of days before that straw poll the Paul folks were saying he might win it. That they thought a lot of people were going to accept invitations to vote from other candidates organizations but then surprise them all and vote for Ron Paul once they got there. Guess that didn't happen!!

The exit polls showed him winning it with 37%.

The diebold electronic voting machines were used.

So... who knows.

But... those who view him negatively will always react negatively. Those who do not will not.

Our view shapes our reactions.

Oh please tell me you are not going to invoke conspiracy theory stupidity here.

It amazes me how many people resort to the black helicopter stuff to justify their positions or to explain things that didn't go the way they thought they should.

Ron Paul doesn't show up as squat diddily in any scientific national polls. Only on the voluntary intenet ones where his little minions can vote a few hundred times each.
