Ron Paul Wins The ATS Straw Poll!

Ron Paul critics. Unfortunately, I kind of agree with him. But what do I care, I'm not from the U.S.

Surprisingly, Rick Santorum looks like the most well rounded

"Surprisingly?"

Really?

The man has the demeanor of a used car salesman.....

He's about as believable as Obama when he opens his mouth.

You know what's great about the 2nd video regarding "Corporations are people" is how Ron can so easily and willingly talk to anyone about these issues. My God, when is the last time we had President that could do that! Most modern day Presidents have to be very careful about what they say, for fear that the wrong soundbite will make it onto the airways. But Ron Paul tells is consistently like it is every stinking time. You can tell that when he speaks he REALLY believes what he is saying.

A comment on "Fox News doesn't know where Egypt is."
www.happyplace.com...
"That country is actually Iraq."
Egypt is in Africa.
That's not even the same continent.
Granted, most of us wouldn't know that either.
That's why we occasionally watch the news —
in the hopes
that they know where countries are.
"For instance,
you could decide
that the rumors are true about
Egypt being in Africa,
and not know Iraq is shown in most atlases.
Or
you could
just flip to Home Shopping Channel,
which tends to be
more in touch with reality."

Pretty amazing results..Still iffy towards Ron Paul when it comes to Iran if they build nucelar weapons it could spark a nuclear arms race in the middle east.I don't know I just about agree with everything He says.

you should get ron paul on here as a special guest or have a presidencial debate on here that would actually be fair and balanced

Don't buy into the propaganda dude. That's just another excuse to keep us in the Middle East, we need to mind our own business as Ron Paul put it.

But yeah he and I don't agree on all issues, mainly taxing the rich. That's about the only issue that we don't see eye to eye on, everything else is spot on.

the video link on my last post is for ron pauls new ad the one that actually can beat obama

Israel will probably step in if Iran gets close to building a nuclear weapon. The only reason they don't now, is because we tell them not to. Ron Paul was one of the only member's of the U.S. government that supported Israel's right to defend themselves, and take out Iraq's Osirak nuclear site in the 80's. Our military is not needed in the middle east.

Either way, what do you think we're doing now to stop them? Sanctions? That's a joke, and it didn't stop North Korea. We certainly can't afford a FIFTH war, can we? We need to leave, and take the leash off Israel .

How is it "smart" to allow people not affiliated with a "party" determine who their nominee is? I'm no fan of two party politics, but within a group of people with like-minded opinions, only they should determine their choice.

brilliant! everyone should watch it.

Ron Paul won....Deal with it. Your canidate didn't win. So go support your choice then. WTF? You guys seem to spend more time bitching then supporting your choice!

RON PAUL 2012!!!!

And if you say this poll is biased, hacked, unaccurate, BS, then wtf are you doing on ATS anyway.....These are the results of most people on here, Were not a forum full of idiots!

I totaly agree we cannot go to any more wars like we have been doing.

hey Fooks,
there is nothing brilliant about what that dude on the kids swing set said.
He lost credibility the moment he compared Ron with other politicians.
Ron is Ron and has not changed his position on anything. The others, they change faster then the weather.
What others? Romney, Newt, and Obama are the worst that come to mind.

Many people, this go around, are so damn cynical that we are willing to vote for an honest human being.
Hope and change my asp!

You go ahead and vote for another establishment liar, but if you are younger than me and if the world keeps tanking as fast as it appears...you might live to regret it.

What's with that terrible image of RP?

I would love to see Ron Paul become President. If for no other reason than to see the reaction of the media when he won. I wonder if Brett Baiers eyes would roll completely around in the sockets before or after his head exploded . Top Tier, Top Tier, Top Tier !!!!!

Ron Paul probably works for Obama. He opposed Reagan in the 80's, he's not a REAL Republican. He just plays one because no one would vote for him if he ran as an independent.

Yeah, I bet none of you remember when Ron Paul tried to split the vote in 84 so Reagan wouldnt get elected do ya?

reply to post by ARealandTrueAmerican


No, whichever Establishment crony the Republicans put out there will work with Obama (AKA Bush Dark), to split the vote from Ron Paul. There's not ONE Republican candidate out there that could take the Independent, or Libertarian votes, besides Dr. Paul. Bush is too fresh in everybody's mind, and anybody with a brain sees BOTH Establishment parties are doing the same thing, screwing us all. Ron Paul doesn't give a toss about splitting votes between two great evils. He's not out to protect the Establishment, he's not hiding that.

When fascism goes to sleep at night, it checks under it's bed for Ron Paul
