Dude you made this comment on me talking to someone else who said something wiseass...Now I can't defend myself..WTF I though Ron Paul was about liberty and freedom..Do I not have the right to defend..oh I guess not because I'm not a Ron Paul groupie... Why would I be angry sad. or denial ( about what)..I have fun bashing you guys..as I'm sure some have fun bashing me...ITS THE POLITICAL ARENA ON RIU..ding ding ding...hey have you heard I'm taking sig bets on Ron Paul not getting the nod from the Repukes..my sig area for your sig area...Loser has to put whatever winner tells him in his sig for 90 days...fun fun fun...want in seeing how Ron Paul is winning every poll...I mean you showed the proof yourself...sooo we got a bet ????
Since you're going to win the bet against the Ron Paul fellas, your sig should be open to another bet. I'd like to bet on whether Obama is reelected. My sig for your sig (90 days) that the Republican candidate prevails over Obama. I already have your new sig picked out.

Wow so EVERYONE who voted non-Obama will have no problem voting for Mitt Romney or Michelle Bachman..To be honest I would take Mitt over Michele...What I see in the poll is that people either love Obama or Ron Paul...bad news for Paul is the Republican party don't like him, so he will not get the nod...I will find it hard to believe that all Ron Paul fans will then vote for Romney( would that not go against what they believe in )..What I find strange is Romney will most likely be your man but he has zero votes here...Hell even you want Ted Nugent..lol..but we will see...
I don't remember one of the poll choices being 'I love Obama'. You gave 10 options for one side of the spectrum, all democrats got crammed into 1 option. No one loves Obama anymore. They do love Ron Paul though.

that proves that you are a deluded cult member is all.

if a fair and representative sample of people actually thought ron paul dominated the debates by such sweeping margins as 93.91% (:lol:), would it not follow that fair and representative scientific samples of random people should reflect this?

why is ron paul STILL polling at about 7% if 93% of people thought he won the shit out of that debate?

are you too dense to realize that it is a simple case of ron paul cult worshippers flooding online polls?

i know, i know...i am a troll and an agent of disinformation :dunce:
While I agree about Ron Paul supporters flooding the polls, I have to question something. What percentage of registered voters actually vote in the primaries? About 15 million voted in the Republican primaries. 125 million people voted in 2008 Elections give or take a few million. Ron Paul's supporters will actually vote in the primaries. Also, take into account a lot of people who are crossing parties to register Republican so they can vote for Ron Paul in the primaries. We may well see a historically large Republican primary. Say half of the country will vote Republican this year for simplicity. Maybe a quarter of republicans will vote in the primaries. If Ron Paul gets the kind of excitement from his voters like he gets in online polls and many others. His actual primary numbers will be much higher than his percentage of Republican voters. Real Clear Politics #'s have Ron Paul at 8.2 percent and Romney at 21.6. If Ron Paul can get 75% of his supporters to the primary he will have the support needed to win them even at the current levels of supporters. That isn't counting that he will actually gain more air time and face recognition and his ideas will be out in the public eye more coming up on the primaries. There wont be a democrat primary this year for all real purposes. How many democrats and independents will go Republican to vote? If there was a year Ron Paul could win, it is this one.

it doesn't matter if you are not part of these circles, i have seen those that are.

do you honestly believe that 93.91% of people thought he won that debate? and if so, how would you explain the lack of bump whatsoever and his lackluster position in all other polls.

i'm ron burgundy?
Maybe it was 93.9 percent of the people who gave a fuck enough to vote?

Being a realist I'm forced to look at this realistically...How the hell will Ron Paul get out of the Republican primary ???? His named is never mentioned in the same sentence as Romney or even Bachmann's.Perry's name is making more noise with the Repukes and he has not officially said he running.The Republicans don't want him to be the nomination, but yet he still made a choice to run as one..WTF..Everyone that understands politics know he will not get that nod as a Republican, for one reason being of what he did in 1988, which only leads us to question why did he not just run independently at first...THIS WAS THE RIGHT TIME TO DO IT...Seeing how he did not can only lead me to believe that he really didn't want to be POTUS he only wanted to get a message heard...I love a good message but I also love a winner that can get that message into actions and policies...so Ron Paul fans I love your support for your guy, but it comes a time when you have to realize what will and won't happen...I don't know if Obama will win, but I do know that Ron Paul will not..
Ross Perot made a great showing when he did it. However, he lost the election and caused Bush to lose the election. Ron Paul knows that splitting the Republican vote would be the wrong thing to do since most anyone in the Republican ranks is at least marginally better than Obama. He also knows that his supporters are more enthusiastic than your average politicians. If he has 8.2 percent of Republican voters(RCP number) then that will be more like 15-20% at primary time. Ron Paul supporters will vote in the primaries. Not to mention all the independents he is going to bring with him. Do you think Libertarians aren't going to be excited at the first real chance to have one of their own for president? No one is bombing the polls for Romney and Bachmann because they aren't excited about them. The country and the party are a lot different than they were in 2007-2008. Nothing is set in stone yet.

So now you are dismissing you very own poll? Its not really irony its more of a paradox of self defeatism.
Amusingly, he started this poll because my poll was inaccurate or biased. Thank you for showing us what the people really think, London.

dude Im wise enough to know what his poll really shows...for both Obama and Ron...are you ???? I guess you really are one of these Ron Paul zombies...I tell you what go take these poll results to the RNC and let them know that Ron Paul should get the nod...Pride over a online poll on a weed growing forum..What kind of life you live...I take pride in my children and family...that had to be one of the dumbest comments you ever made...hope you don't really believe that...My actual goal was to see just how many crazy votes BOTH would get..it has not gotten to what I thought yet..so keep voting...anywoot you never got back with me on the bet..now I would love for you to accept unless you are scared and really know the thruth...my sig against your sig..I say Ron Paul will not get the nod...what do you say...I MEAN HE IS WINNING ALL THE POLLS...lol
It says Ron Paul supporters are enthusiastic. My poll that you derided says that people would rather slit their wrists than vote for Obama. :)

These are the results of the 2008 New Hampshire primary. New Hampshire is an important proving grounds. Ron Paul got 7.7% of the NH primary vote in 2008. He is much stronger now, and his opponents much weaker. If he wins this primary, it could very well propel him to the presidency.

I think half of the people who want Ron Paul will not vote for any other republican candidate, at least. I won't, unless it's Gary Johnson.
Sums it up for me. It's likely why Obama will win again. At this point though I almost want it, just to piss off the in house republicans. I can only imagine what they will do next.
