Angry Not again?

This is getting downright repetitive.
Or is that maybe better viewed as consistent?

Ron Paul Wins GOP Swing State Straw Poll In Landslide

Quote:
Texas Congressman and US presidential candidate Ron Paul win Ohio’s Republican Swing State Straw Poll in a landslide Saturday, another resounding victory for the conservative-libertarian in his quest for the White House.
Paul received an overwhelming 53.5-percent of the vote.
Businessman Herman Cain came in second with 25.47-percent, and former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney trailed in a distant third with 8.88-percent.

If the beloved Republican Party took Ron Paul seriously and actually supported him, he would have a very real chance of taking residence on Pennsylvania Ave in a year hense. But the party brokers want a version of Republican Obama lite and that is what we will get. More spending, more war, more gov't, more TSA, less freedom. Mark it on your calendar.

They will learn to listen to their constituents or they will be replaced.

good luck - do a search on who has raised what money and you will see who the two "chosen" are we will have to pick from - RP won't be one of them - I will vote for him barring something out of left field but if you think we - the people- actually get to choose from the entire field then I have some ocean front property for sale in AZ:-) you have to have MONEY to make it into office - if you don't represent those WITH the money, well... you have RP.

I'm not so jaded as to believe we have no say in the process.
I always hope for the best and prepare for the worst.
Did I mention I load mags on election night?

Bro - I'd be adding more PMAGS and cases of ammo then - you are a smart guy - I admire your hopium but it's no substitute for being a pragmatist and a realist - it does NOT mean you are a defeatist! I believe in our country and its PEOPLE, but I also recognize and ACCEPT! that the way it is currently run - by BOTH parties- is a failed paradigm.

Absolutely!

But that doesn't mean a grass roots movement can't change it all in one election.
What I believe is that this election, with the economy, employment situation being what they are and the Fed running roughshod over our rights, may be our last chance to change it using the electoral process.

You understand very little but then you knew that already.

Least he wasn't the only one on the ballot like Hermy was in Illinois.

The only thing I know is Ron Paul ain't got a snowball's chance in hell of being nominated baring some type of national insurrection.
