RON PAUL TAKES THE LEAD!

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18421356/
Wow, that's fucking amazing.  I guess its just an internet poll, but still, this is the MSNBC ratings that viewers of the Republican presidential primary debates gave the candidates.  Ron Paul has a pretty commanding lead too with 40% in favor, and not only that, he has the LOWEST dissaproval rating of any of the other republican candidates.  I guess America wants a president who won't invade random countries and will follow the constitution strictly. 

For those of you who might not know of Ron Paul, here is a very brief overview for you: 

Brief Overview of Congressman Paul's Record

* He has never voted to raise taxes.
* He has never voted for an unbalanced budget.
* He has never voted for a federal restriction on gun ownership.
* He has never voted to raise congressional pay.
* He has never taken a government-paid junket.
* He has never voted to increase the power of the executive branch.
* He voted against the Patriot Act.
* He voted against regulating the Internet.
* He voted against the Iraq war.

* He does not participate in the lucrative congressional pension program.

* He returns a portion of his annual congressional office budget to the U.S. treasury every year.

Unlike many others as well, Ron Paul is the only presidential candidate that I know of who supports the legalization of marijuana.  He is endorsed by many organizations advocating the reform of drug laws.

RON PAUL IN THE LEAD! FUCK YEAH!

Should I be surprised that the active conservative base wants a President who is actually, actively conservative? 

Maybe I should be, considering the past 7 years. 

>>3
This wasn't the conservative base, this was a general poll open to the public that MSNBC provided following the debates.  Following the debates, they offered the audience a link to their website where they could go and show their support for their favored candidates from the debate.  So this poll isn't from the Republicans, this is from the general populous, or at least the general debate-watching populous. 

Would you really expect someone whose platform isn't 'stay the course' to lose in a poll that isn't restricted to hardcore republican partisans?

I hope he's covered more in media and has a chance at winning, all the other candidates don't seem very good.

>>5
Yes, because in my experiance the public is full of sheeplike retards who vote for shitty candidates, can't think for themselves, and don't bother to do any research on the history of the candidate or their opponents before they select them.  The fact that Hillary and Obama are the frontrunning dems drives this sad truth home.

"Unlike many others as well, Ron Paul is the only presidential candidate that I know of who supports the legalization of marijuana.  He is endorsed by many organizations advocating the reform of drug laws."

You forgot Mike Gravel and Dennis Kucinich.

Ron Paul is a corporate faggot. It is absolutely insane to believe that corporations will naturally do what's best for humanity and the world. They are in it to make money, that's it, if there is no government regulation on emissions, they will pump greenhouses gases into the sky like there is no tomorrow. If there is no government regulation on aggressive monopolistic business tactics, small businesses will be crushed under the heel of Walmart and McDonald's. The government's role in the economy regulation. Laissez faire and privatization are retarded idealistic bullshit. Fuck Ron Paul, Mike Gravel for president.

RON PAUL WILL BE OUR NEXT PRESIDENT, ALL BLACKS VOTE FOR RON PAUL

Ron Paul molests babies

k

Black Voters lol

If Ron Paul becomes president I'll bomb the UN HQ, not because I dislike but as a present,a reward to America for putting a stop to the excesses of democracy and unlimited executive.

I'll catch it during a fire drill though.

>>13
why wait for a fire drill? just throw a few smoke grenades in there and once everyone's left flip the switch

i'm just gonna say this:
ron paul knows the fed reserve is illegal regardless of what you think about the free market and such.....that's gonna go a LONG way in keeping the corporations in check

Ron Paul is totally awesome. Vote for that guy, even if you are black and Barak is running against him.

Ron Paul is an evil reptilian kitten-eater from another planet.

>>16
That's a good argument, I guess I will. But he'd better be totally awesome like you promised and not just moderately awesome. If not, I'll just vote for Barak, the son of Abinoam from Kedesh in Naphtali. His military experience leading the campaign to liberate Israel from the Canaanites will be crucial in the years ahead.

>>13
Wtf. Explain your position better, or take an Writing Composition class.

>>18
funny post is funny

Why isn't Vince McMahon there?

>>1
who gives a shit? can he stand behind a microphone and espouse bullshit with a straight face is what i want to know.

He wants to privatize education. EDUCATION. What a stupid motherfucker.

>>23
Private schools are much better than public schools.

>>24
yet you still dont grasp the simple fact if all schools are made public then private schools will degrade and become the next public school system.

too bad education doesnt work for all...

>>25
i meant if all private schools are made public.

ah fuck i need my next dose already!

>>25
Private schools are seperate from other private schools. You will have strict private schools for roudy inner city kids and specialist private schools to get the most out of gifted children. The idea of giving people who are gifted less resources than people destinned to flip burgers is why 20 million people starved in soviet russia.

>>27
thats what you want. what you get will be completely different.

>>28
I will get what I want. Private schools are seperate, so they will tailor themselves to the needs of their customer base. If there is demand for schools for people who want their kids to get a decent job instead of being indoctrinated to be liberals then they can send them to such schools.

>>29
you're in for a rude shock. goodlcuk with that btw.

>>30
thx, 30 years later while I am watching my son/daughter being awarded a doctorate or phd there is a slight chance I will remember and pity people with lack of foresight such as yourself.

>>31
zomg megalulz! you do know that those "pieces of paper" are becoming even more fucking useless? no?! oh fuck. you ARE in for a very rude awakening...

btw. a doctorate is a phd you huge fucking brain you.

I don't know what you two are on about, but education should be free and available to all. Private schools cost money, the poor stay poor, the rich stay rich. Also private schools are often religious, which is complete faggotry.

imo ron paul won again tonight in fox news' debate.  guiliani is a fucking clown.

>>32
If university level education is useless, tell me, what does it take to diagnose and cure the 100s of different diseases even a general practitioner will encounter in a week nowadays? Soul? Spreading the love?

Also a doctorate is not necessarily the same as a phd.

i hear ron paul lieks mudkips

>>36

Well that settles it then

I hear Ron Paul is Jack Ryan.

Exactly how much are campaigners paid to promote Ron Paul online?
IMO far too much.

>>38
I hear Ron Paul thinks he's Jack Ryan.

I hear Ron Paul jacks off with Ryan.

I hear Ryan got the job at corporate.

>>34  Giuliani led NY through 9/11.  How dare you criticize him, you dirty terrorist!

>>41>>42
is that one of those jobs that americans just wont do?

>>43
I can vouch for >>34 having very good hygiene, he bathes everyday washes his camel weekly, and his AK47 is well polished.

Ron Paul likes his rod plowing in my ass

Ron Paul eats pieces of shit like you for breakfast.

>>47
Ron Paul eats shit for breakfast?

>>48

WHY YES I DO IT HELPS ME FIGHT ISRAEL AND INCOMETAX

>>49

LOL JEWS

>>48
Not shit, it's Reese's Puffs cereal!

Ron paul is full of penis

>* He has never voted for an unbalanced budget.

"Ron Paul voted "yes" on the Secure Fence Act of 2006, which authorizes the construction of an additional 700 miles of double-layered fencing between the U.S and Mexico."

Reform welfare, healthcare and employment to ensure that only legal citizens are accepted and catered to?  FUCK NO LET'S BUILD SOMETHING WE CAN SEE FROM SPACE!

No shit Ron Paul looks like he has internet support; his whole campaign is centered around astroturfing every last corner of the interwebz.  Hell, it's probably the only reason he voted in support of net neutrality http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astroturfing

Come on faggots, did you really think a proud member of a party that's had this country by the balls for about 150 years now could ever be some sort of shorthanded grassroots underdog of the popular vote?  This is just the same old shit from a different asshole.

GG, internet libertarians.  The head honchos of American politics didn't have to grossly abuse federal powers to shape you into pawns after all.

Would you prefer Ron Jeremy?

>>53
Careful man, I called this shit out on 4-ch and had my posts deleted and my IP publicly posted by an abusive mod.

>>55
gb2bed hal

>>34
I agree, fuck Giuliani.  Fuck him HARD.  Do so by voting for Ron Paul in the republican primary. 

>>56
YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG

>>58
Must be doing it right since you didnt post the fix then...

>>59
The fix would consist of a post deletion for not knowing Hal.
As well as B& for not paying moot for the advertising services he's rendering to the Ron Paul astroturfing committee.
