This I'm sure was done to hide the real popularity of Ron Paul amongst "everyman" voters.

Congratulations you are like the 3rd thread on this topic today. Maybe the 4th.

But at least your staying on top of it.

How do they manage to get all these bad pictures of her? It's so funny how obvious it is that everyone is attacking her.... Not that I blame them


Hmm,yeah that is kind of dishonest....It's illegal to give out money.... I hate it when politicians get around that by doing stuff like this....they need to rewrite that law so they can't get around it like that....

But it wont be,because....well, the politicians would have to be the ones to rewrite it..... and....well,something tells me they like buying votes.

Her win does not mean anything in the sense that she is from that state and Ron Paul still only lost by 150+ - votes. Honestly that is a horrible showing and if anything while it will not be talked about amongst talking heads (fox) how she won...It must be known that looking at this poll...Ron Paul was not affected by Rick Perry at all. He is not going to be able to steal the votes from Paul and more importantly I bet he does not last but 4 months You will see he cannot campaign on a national stage..Its too late and he is a wide open target with his record. Ron Paul is going to be your president in 2012. You will see.

While I am not a MB fan, this is a nonstory. All of the candidates buy votes in the Ames poll. It's been said in the past that just because a candidate buys the $30 ticket for the participants it doesn't mean that they will get the votes. It does generally reflect which campaigns are the best financed, not necessarily indicative of the who will get the votes in January.

You don't graduate to rigging presidential elections until after you figure out how to rig the straw polls. I'm sure Karl Rove is nodding approvingly at her performance. "yes, yes, come to the dark side..."

Yeah that pretty much sums up the Ames Straw Poll.

But why I like it is that it keeps the face of the drooling, neanderthal, TeaBags RIGHT on the screen for all to see.

The real problem is charging $30 to cast a vote. That's essentially a poll tax. That's un-Constitutional and was outlawed by the 24th Amendment. It's immoral at the least.

Now I know many will defend it by blah blah blah. It's still a sucky fee.

if my wife, mother, daughter was a fraud and phony yes. People deserve respect, until they disrespect you. Every time this lady opens her mouth she disrespects my intelligence, therefore is fair game.

Speaking of phony frauds...

What a bunch of silly bullcrap. Idiotic generalizations.

And what a childish excuse for character assassination.
