Ron Paul Wins DC Poll With Landslide And Give AWESOME Speech!

STATS


Part 1


Part 2



Pretty amazing speech I must say, the part where he compares us today with the Israelites is EPIC!
It's amazing to be alive during such a speech, I will definitely teach my unborn kids of his message

It's not about Ron Paul, no
It's about the people
And this message is so pro-people

Unfortunately Cspan didn't air the winning speech for wtv reason
And mainstream media is already hating on the victory
Not surprising.....

But I really like the biblical comparison, that's why I wanted to post this thread!

Well this is a very interesting poll. Cain in 2nd and Santorum in 3rd
Seems like the more Conservative candidates really jumped up in this one and i am glad to see it.

Excellent!

Ron Paul is slowly capturing the hearts of the American smart. But even the dumb are starting to like him. Let's face it: He's humble. Unassuming. Non-interventionalist. The smarter public longs for his wisdom and real change you CAN believe in! And best of all, he is guided soundly by Constitutional principle with every issue there is. We NEED this man as President- if there is any hope left at all.

S&F!

thread already

Ron Paul id definitely gathering support of Democrats, Republicans, and Independents. His beliefs, solutions, core principles, and voting record, are being accepted by the people. Thus crossing the invisible boundaries of the once heavily segregated ideologies of America.
Obama is a one term POTUS.

Oh goodness another strawpoll.... what? Last time it was Mr Herman Cain, before it was Mrs Bachmann, how long are we going to go on like this? Straw polls are not the best things to celebrate over.

Some other straw poll here back in 2007

I mean I can go on, really. This could go on all day. You want to know how many polls Rudy won in 2007? Until Ron Pauls gains sufficient states in the Republican primaries, these straw polls mean little to nothing. I'll pay attention to some of the scientific polls, but even with them, we'll never know. The primaries matter, his actual support in the elections matter.

Good read below about this:

And yet, for all of Paul’s straw poll success, he remains a marginal figure — at best — in the 2012 field. What gives?

The simple — yet largely unspoken — fact is that the vast majority of straw polls don’t matter as history suggests they have little correlation with the dynamics of actual primaries and caucuses.

The most important reason for that disparity is that the number of votes cast in straw polls is minuscule.

Paul won the RLC straw poll on Saturday with 612 votes out of 1,542 cast; at CPAC this year, a total of 3,742 votes were cast.

To put that in perspective, Paul finished fifth in the 2008 Iowa Republican caucuses — behind Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) who didn’t even compete in the state — with 11,817 votes. There were nearly 119,000 total votes cast.

The tiny voter universe of straw polls plays into Paul’s greatest strength — the deep and abiding loyalty that a relatively narrow group of supporters have for him.

How many times do we have to hear about him winning a strawpoll? Just as in 2008 and 88', in 2012 Ron Paul will have to walk the talk and try and actually get votes from individual folks, straw polls will not change that reality.

this is a great victory for the campaign and momentum for the entire movement.

Until the Kenyan
is out

man thats a hell of a speech right there!

hope and change for real this time.

I thought there was a lot of religious reference, but nevertheless, I liked the analogy and found the speech insightful. Go Ron Paul!

Thanks for sharing. S&F

That is exactly why I have spent all day and drove 4 hours making phone calls and trying to get more help in getting him those votes. That is why I have agreed to accept to head up the Ron Paul campaign for my county. We can support as arm chair warriors or get out and get this thing done. I for one am doing all I can to get this thing done.

The audience were social conservatives
so he was speaking to his audience

It's unfortunate though, this speech was not televised
CSPAN did not air it
So this video may very well be the best we'll have

I think if a better video was out the viral potential would have been epic!

I'm interested in why Paul supporters continue to make a deal about whenever Paul wins a poll, when history shows that these polls mean nothing to Paul's chances. Likewise, I'll post my views. Don't like it? Don't reply. I am open to debate as to how this any more significant for Paul than it was for Bachmann, for Cain, for Ron Paul back in 2007.

stop hating on the Ron Paul

wait til hes elected then you can hate

then i will be right here defending him

take that

That's dedication I tell ya. I must admit, Ron Paul supporters are probably the most loyal voting block in the GOP race so far. I think Ron Paul raised $7 million again last month I think. Do you ever question why Ron Paul seldomly gains popularity outside those polls and the internet, why he doesn't gain even significant votes in previous primaries? I've spoken to many conservatives and many don't like his isolationist stances, maybe this is the killer to his chances?

Well atleast you are getting out there

As an outsider looking in... When you compare what Ron Paul has to say to Mitt Romney's latest speech...

I just cannot begin to comprehend how any American in their right mind would vote for Romney, and not vote for Ron Paul

This, coming from you? And you see absolutely no hypocrisy when we apply this to Obama with many members on here? Remember, the hate for Obama occured well before he was even elected.

Look, if think Paul needs to be protected from hateful comments then he ain't ganna get far in the elections let alone the GOP primaries. I'm sure there are plenty of Paul supporters that can defend him on this forum anyway.

Ronmey is more moderate than Paul is, he has a chance of gaining votes beyond that of the GOP constituency, he was governor of a blue state prior as well. In the elections against Obama, Romney will have a good chance of gaining massachusetts, possibly new hampshire, and may very well get Obama running to hold onto as many independents possible. He appears to be the only mainstream plausable candidate, and many people are beginning to recognize this. I don't like Romney, and many Paulers insist that Romneys views are incompatable to the true tea party and conservative values, but I'm sorry, tea party and libertarian values will do little to gain the vote beyond the political rightwing. So long as Paul sticks to the fringe right, he will not get far in the elections.
