Do you believe that Ron Paul is the silent frontrunner?

Question

To tell you the truth, he makes a lot of sense and has changed my vote.

Answer 1

I definately believe that the polls are off. Ron Paul has so much support from young America. A huge chunk of his supporters are college students. Guess how many of them get polled? Almost none. And why, these polls contact registered Republicans who voted in the last primary...Guess what, most college students weren't old enough to vote in the last primary.

As for the comments about him not being Republican enough, I guess I missed when the Republcan party changed. Smaller Government, Less Taxes. Reagan built up our defense system to keep us out of war with the Soviet Union...Nixon was elected to get us out of Vietnam...Eisenhower was elected to get us out of South Korea. George W. was elected on a platform of nonintervention and no nation building.

Up until now it has been about name recognition. When polls are based on policy, Ron Paul wins hands down...Including republicans, more people want us out of Iraq than want us in Iraq.

Ron Paul has the money, and soon will have more name recognition. When America puts a name with the message...he can't lose.

Answer 2

With all due appreciate to you, in case your examine on the applicants hasn't been performed, as properly as see what style of job they did in a Senate seat from a particular state, then you definately should not be spouting off approximately different applicants. Ron Paul supporters do not anticipate him to be dealt with as a 'frontrunner'. The media selections and shapes the applicants for people who do not do examine, and that's what places them out in front interior the polls. There are quite a few books written in this difficulty. by utilising the time primaries and caucauses roll around, those on the perfect isn't there anymore. traditionally this is actual additionally.

Answer 3

Wow, where did all the Ron Paul haters come from? I guess the sheeple want big brother to watch over them to protect them at night. Go ahead, let them take your firearms to "protect the children", your paycheck for useless government programs to "improve society through social engineering", and your freedoms "to defend america from the terrorists".

Sorry, that rant was for the sheeple. Ron Paul is the front runner, and he is the last hope for this country. Without him, we will end up with Queen Hillary or Rudy McRomney.

Please don't loose hope in Ron Paul. He just beat out the rest of the so-called republicans in fundraising, and he wins straw poll after straw poll. He truly can win if we don't loose hope.

Answer 4

You have nailed it - "the silent frontrunner". Why?
Because his supporters are independent and non-traditional
voters. Pollsters do not contact people who have cell
phones. In 1992, the pollsters had Perot at 8% the week
before the election, but he received 19% of the vote. Just think
what would have happened if pollsters could have been
more accurate. The 38% who were actually for him would
have voted for him instead of thinking they were throwing
their vote away. It is sad how out of touch the pollsters are.

When you look at all of the actual votes that have been taken in straw polls, Ron Paul has won more than any
other Republican. Paul won all of the post-debate polls and
the media refused to acknowledge those votes. What
fools these media folks be.

Answer 5

probably not. He'll have trouble winning the nomination from the Republicans because of his views on Iraq and how we should leave. If he does win the nomination, Ron Paul will own Hilary Clinton. Her campaign completely revolves around leaving Iraq immediately, but what's she gonna do and say when Ron Paul believes in the same thing? She will focus on Universal healthcare and, trust me, there is no candidate alive that will be able to out debate Dr. Paul when it comes to economic issues. That is his greatest strength.

Answer 6

Absolutely. He has more actual person support than any other candidate. What I mean is he has more meetup groups, more straw poll votes, and more people get excited about him than any other candidate. People are sick of the DC crowd, and want change, and he is one of the men to bring it.

The Revolution will not be televised.

Answer 7

Front runner, no. Ralph Nader vote teetering, maybe. 22% stealing Ross Perot, he could manage.

Most unchanged either don't know him, are too loyal to the bi-party system, or too skeptical, which is why I'm betting he won't get the Republican nomination.

Unfortunately for Paul's supporters, his ideas come off as too radical for many voting in the republican primaries, and he's not the media's favorite, which is why my candidate will never be nominated either.

Answer 8

Heck No! Ron Paul is odd-man out in the Republican field. He is the only one who supports getting out of Iraq. Many Republicans and Republican-leaning Independents who think staying in Iraq is bad support Ron Paul. Ron Paul also is a big supporter of state rights. Almost any social issue that Paul comments on goes back to state rights. That's why Brothel owners in Nevada and KKK members in Louisana like him so much. Its the leave me alone to do things in my own state mentality.

Answer 9

Yes. How can someone say he belongs in the democratic party? He supports Limited Government spending and limited government. These are Republican Ideals, he is also against illegal immigration, he is a historical republican stance on many things including protecting our national soverignty from global organizations like theUN who wants to impose a direct Tax on us.

He has served as a republican congressman for 20 years and led Reagan to the Convention in 1976. How much more republican can you get.

Answer 10

No I don't think he's the silent front runner, it appears that Mike Huckabee is the lower tier candidate who seems to be making inroads. But Iowa is still more than a month away, so anything can happen
