The Official Ames Straw Poll Thread

[wgadget]

All the others are "ferocious interventionists"

At least states like CA and NY are significant. Huge economies and populations.

I think there should be a system where each state gets a fair shot at being first in the primary elections. Ex: a system similar to a lottery. putting states in a hat and someone drawing from them to pick out the order

That would be fair.

Mike Huckabee: I don't want Iran getting a nuclear weapon, therefore I won't vote for Paul

LOL

Someone just tweeted that a Republican official thinks Ron will win - and then linked a hitpiece against him. Interesting. The suspense is killing me.

[Matthew Zak]

Hey guys... there can be absolutely no doubt at this point, that the fight is on.

For those of you who believe in such things, a prayer might be appropriate right about now.

Isolationism is a foreign policy adopted by a nation in which the country refuses to enter into any alliances, foreign trade or economic commitments, or international agreements in hopes of focusing all of its resources into advancement within its own borders while remaining at peace with foreign countries by avoiding all entanglements of foreign agreements.

Non-Interventionism is a foreign policy which holds that political rulers should avoid alliances with other nations, but still retain diplomacy, and avoid all wars not related to direct territorial self-defense. This is based on the grounds that a state should not interfere in the internal politics of another state, based upon the principles of state sovereignty and self-determination. A similar phrase is "strategic independence". Historical examples of supporters of non-interventionism are US Presidents George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, who both favored nonintervention in European Wars while maintaining free trade. Other proponents include United States Senator Robert Taft and United States Congressman Ron Paul.

I just keep calling. This must be corrected.

It always crushes me to see how this rhetoric continues in light of the FACTS!!! GD it's so frustrating because this is the "new" propaganda. No longer are they distorted cartoons of Germans or Japanese...propaganda now is so subtle...it's all about word choice and "suggestion."

 

[sailingaway]

f that, the host just called Ron Paul a ferocious isolationist... i' mcalling until i get on.

And mention that he polls better against Obama than any but Romney, consistently, and Perry actually lost to Obama in TEXAS in last month's ppp poll while Ron beat Obama in Texas by 5 points.

 

[wgadget]

The host who said that is WASHINGTON POST.

According to a Ron Paul supporter, a text from his sister stated they ran out of Ron Paul T-shirts at the Iowa State Fair today!!! WOOT!

Quick! How many T-shirts did we have? LOL

 

[Mr Tansill]

Current caller: Rick Perry "good on jobs." Statement like these reflect a profound misunderstanding of what creates money...no governor ever created a job...

A governor can take money from one person and give it to another - that's all.

For those of you who believe in such things, a prayer might be appropriate right about now.

Let's pray that the votes are counted fairly.

 

[parocks]

Someone just talked down Perry. And CSPAN turned down the caller. CSPAN is pro Perry.

If any Ron Paul callers get through - just Rip Perry Apart.

Gardasil Perry.

Bilderberg Perry.
