Gallup: Ron Paul makes Most Admired man list

[itshappening]

Some dubious company but at least he makes it on to the list which is asked without prompting. A fitting end to his career.

-
This year, seven of those on the top 10 Most Admired Man list are from the world of U.S. government and politics: Obama, Romney, the two George Bushes, Bill Clinton, Ron Paul, and John McCain. One is from international politics -- Nelson Mandela -- and three are from religious vocations -- Billy Graham, Pope Benedict XVI, and the Dalai Lama.

Ew! Ew! EW EW EW!!!!

to the ties. EW!

But of course Ron should make the list.

Thanks for posting.

I think I will say he tied the Dalai Lama and McCain, Bush Sr. and Bill Clinton also tied.

But George W and Romney beat him?

Ew.

That's pretty good considering he didn't actually win the GOP nomination. It means the merits if his work equals to at least winning the GOP nomination.

Wow, how can so many people admire all those sociopaths and killers?

I'm betting Obama was just the only person they could think of, for his number. Who all was interviewed again (checking...)

True, but almost every other member of that list fits my description, and 30% for Obama is still very high.

For once a tie was presented non-alphabetically in Ron Paul's favor (he's above McCain). Is this a first?

I wonder if it was actually a tie or if the decimals mattered...

People hate freedom.

If they were only tied after rounding, then they were tied with Clinton and Lama too.

I'd be interested to ask Gallup what other congressman has ever made that list..

Notice how everyone on the list is either a fascist or socialist. Sad state of affairs for this sheeple. But God be thanked for the diamond in the rough. The gem shines bright next to duds.

Is this supposed to be a good thing? "Ron Paul is as admired as John McCain"?

Well considering most view John McCain as a "war hero" and a decent man, it is a good thing.

They honestly don't know any better

Wow, how can so many people admire all those sociopaths and killers?

Because they don't know any better. They spend their lives depending almost exclusively on the nightly news for their information and understanding of the world around them. Propaganda is all they know. I don't know how to awaken people who've become so completely brainwashed.

Everyone not on that list is LESS admired.

Most admired women is an entirely separate list. Hillary won, as she has the last several years. If you click the link in the OP you will see it.
