agent denim he is winning the straw polls what are you talking about ?

Coming off the Iowa Straw Poll the momentum for the Ron Paul 2008 campaign continues to build. Congressman Ron Paul has finished in the top 5 in 16 of the last 17 straw polls and can claim 1st place victories in New Hampshire, North Carolina, Washington, and Alabama.

In comparing results head-to-head, Congressman Paul has blown away most of the field, defeating Rudy Giuliani in 15 of the 17 polls and John McCain in 15 of the 16 polls.

There are straw polls coming up all across the country so be sure to check in with your local GOP to find out when you can vote for Ron Paul next.

the power is in your hands david(all of ours) just register republican and vote in the republican primary for ron paul -at least you can say you didnt vote for the status quo

2007-08-26 01:38:32 · update #3

agent denim once again your words astound me - any one can vote for ron paul if they change their affiliation and register as a republican before the primary- it is easy - another thing is you totally miss the point of the question which is pointing out that special interests are supporting candidates from both parties that are willing to do their bidding - you are fighting the truth and the truth always wins

Ron Paul 2008! because he stands for Freedom for the US Citizens and the United States of America, a Sovereign Nation, a Secure Border, our Second Amendment Rights to Bear Arms (for protecting ourselves - not just hunting game) and Protecting the Lives of Unborn Children!

Ron Paul is the only one who voted No to War in Iraq.

"The talk must stop. We must secure our borders now. A nation without secure borders is no nation at all. It makes no sense to fight terrorists abroad when our own front door is left unlocked." Ron Paul

American Independence and Sovereignty

"So called free trade deals and world governmental organizations like the International Criminal Court (ICC), NAFTA, GATT, WTO, and CAFTA are a threat to our independence as a nation. They transfer power from our government to unelected foreign elites.

The ICC wants to try our soldiers as war criminals. Both the WTO and CAFTA could force Americans to get a doctor’s prescription to take herbs and vitamins. Alternative treatments could be banned.

The WTO has forced Congress to change our laws, yet we still face trade wars. Today, France is threatening to have U.S. goods taxed throughout Europe. If anything, the WTO makes trade relations worse by giving foreign competitors a new way to attack U.S. jobs.

NAFTA’s superhighway is just one part of a plan to erase the borders between the U.S. and Mexico, called the North American Union. This spawn of powerful special interests, would create a single nation out of Canada, the U.S. and Mexico, with a new unelected bureaucracy and money system. Forget about controlling immigration under this scheme.

And a free America, with limited, constitutional government, would be gone forever.

Let’s not forget the UN. It wants to impose a direct tax on us. I successfully fought this move in Congress last year, but if we are going to stop ongoing attempts of this world government body to tax us, we will need leadership from the White House.

We must withdraw from any organizations and trade deals that infringe upon the freedom and independence of the United States of America." Ron Paul

We need a President who will stop the corruption by ending the illegal activities of big businesses who hire illegals, who will stop the North American Union and bring jobs back to the citizens of the United States. Let's bring America home! Vote Ron Paul in 2008!

I believe Ron Paul to be the best choice for America. He is the only experienced candidate that isn't part of the CFR (Council on Foreign Relations). This organization is big business, big money and controls most media outlets. Instead do a search about them. To me it seems like they want to take our ever decreasing constitutional rights away and put in a dictator/puppet of their choice. Eventually they want a one world govt, controlled by them of course. America's military is their policy making attack dog, hence some of the past wars and current war, our lives = their profit. If he is not elected we may become the North American Union instead of the USA, have a big *** highway run through the country, and instead of the US dollar the Amero. There may be more consequences/theories but I'm too lazy to type. So don't take my word for it, do your own research. You can check his campaign website for his stance on issues. Also check out youtube for other info. CFR the real terrorist is a threat to our national security. Vote wisely. Good Luck

Ron Paul, however, he doesn't have much a chance unless the word gets out to the masses...don't look in the national media to help. Ron Paul is only running as a Republican since that gets him notoriety (don't let that bother you). Mr. Paul is a constitutionalists libertarian....kinda like Washington, Jefferson, Monroe, Franklin, to mention a few.

Impressive list...and Americans will all tell you there is no need for campaign contributions controls...and if there are they're any it is surely not working...the donation limit should be what the average American can afford...maybe 100$...then the real caring Americans could run...Notice Viacom and cablesystems....maybe we should be asking Hilliary her opinions on internet control because it is going to be a big issue and they have a feeling who is going to win..hence Hilliary has donations from them and Rudy does not......I am not American and I see the advantages of Ron Paul but what does a dumb Canadian know....anyway, I would bet the farm that most Americans are not intelligent nor knowledgeable about their own politics to even know who Ron Paul is....keep up the good work of getting it out that the mainstream candidates are all the same and America has to wake up and elect someone who is not controlled by the likes of who you list.

Well, the comparison with Clinton is completely irrelevant, since she's a Democrat and Ron Paul is running in the Republican primary. Yes, that's right, primary. Seeing as he's not actually the republican Presidential candidate yet, those of us in the US that are registered Democrat or Unaffiliated won't be able to vote for Ron Paul.

So who will you vote for after Ron Paul loses the Republican primary?

Of course if he does get the nomination, I'll seriously consider him, depending who gets the Democratic nomination. But considering Paul's approval ratings at straw polls, it doesn't look good....

Ron Paul

Because Ron Paul has chosen to put ethics above winning, I regret I will very likely have no opportunity to vote for Ron Paul.

I will vote for the best candidate - Fred Thompson!

No. Ron Paul doesn't come off as credible to me. In those debates, he seemed nervous and not at ease. Certainly not Presidential. It may be that he isn't a great public speaker but there is something about him I just don't trust. And I won't be voting for Hillary either.

Brilliant eye opener.

Hillary has even said that the special interests represent American people!!!!

Yeah right! Citigroup and JP Morgan Chase represent American people.
