Ron Paul takes 2nd place IOWA Straw Poll

[outby43]

She definitely went to war with that corn dog, unfortunately she has a big mouth and didn't choke on it.

x2

I think this is a good thing for RP.  Once Bachmann starts to get grilled like Palin did she will buckle and become a laughing stock.  The great Ron Paul will stick to his guns and never deviate from what he has been saying for 30 years.  He just needs to step up on the negative ad campaigns, unfortunately.  I wish he wouldn't have to resort to that but the voters are too stupid to respond to anything else.

[Hugo Chavez]

LOL!  You should hang out on the Conspiracy Theories board and wax eloquent about the evil 911 conspiracy, 911 Troofer.  

you're the one that's got this big conspiracy theory over Ron Paul Supporters.  The CT you wove around that is lol funny.

[Roger Bacon]

I've heard about those things called "kitchens."  lol . . . .

I'm sorry, I can't not like you! haha 

[Dos Equis]

as if you run to Obama's defense when people attack him personally lolol... hypocrite.

who cares, if someone calls perry a stupid asshole, Bachmann a stupid bitch or calls Obama a nazi or worse.  Last time I checked we were free to do so.

Yawn.    I was actually just doing that the other day.  I created a thread on here a long time ago about how political discourse has gone from right vs. wrong to good vs. evil.  It's an unfortunate part of the process.  

And yes, you or anyone else are free to talk like an unintelligent caveman if you want to, just like I'm free to criticize people for doing so.  That's one of the great things about this country:  you have the right to make a fool of yourself.  

[Soul Crusher]

She voted against tarp fools.

Ok.  Whatever you say.  I just look at the actual voting results.  What's really funny is how some fanatics were talking about how the man was dominating online polls during the 2008 cycle, and he didn't do nearly as well on election days. 

I think he'll do better this time around, but anyone looking at the numbers objectively can see there is no way his actual support mirrors some of these online polls.  But we'll find out again when the primary season starts.

you know BB is getting upset when he adds a yawn to his eye roll

BB, newsflash for you, this isn't anything new in American Politics like you seem to think it is.  If anything it's actually toned down from what it was.  It's on message boards now, in the 1800's this stuff, "good vs. evil" was often published.

[Roger Bacon]

She voted against tarp fools.

She voted YES on $192B additional anti-recession stimulus spending. (Jul 2009)

[Soul Crusher]

I like ron paul, but jeez people get a grip.  He did great here essentially tying for first. 

Trashing bachmann?  Fine.  She is still better than obama, romney, huntsman, santorum, and pawlenty.

[Roger Bacon]

Forget all the other issues, you would have to be a fool to vote for anyone that supported the patriot act.  

[Hugo Chavez]

She voted YES on $192B additional anti-recession stimulus spending. (Jul 2009)

and her foriegn policy is pretty neocon.  I like some of the stuff she says and does, but it doesn't all of a sudden make her better than Paul.  Paul was also against tarp so I don't know what 3333's point is lol..

[Bindare_Dundat]

She's a total phony. Can't people hear that in her voice? God, she makes me cringe just as much as when I hear Obama.

Oh yes, I'm quite upset.  lol . . .

The climate has changed.  It's true there has been an element of nastiness in politics throughout our history, but that was the exception, not the rule.  You should read up on the Lincoln/Douglas debates.  There were some personal attacks, but by and large they talked about the issues, and it involved arguably the most controversial issue in American history.  

Things really started to spiral during the Clinton years.  Do you remember the Clinton Chronicles?  A "documentary" accusing Clinton of murdering opponents?   There is an article from about 2000 where a guy (and not some crazy nut) wrote an article claiming Bill Clinton was the Anti-Christ.  

I have definitely seen a trend the past twenty years.

Is this your first primary or did you just forget that this often happens.  Is there some sort of immunity clause for Bachmann lol.

Yes!

This true 333333?

Is it just me or is that one over sized corn dog in her mouth?

Yeah, it all started to spiral during the Clinton years!

Adams' men called Vice President Jefferson "a mean-spirited, low-lived fellow, the son of a half-breed Indian squaw, sired by a Virginia mulatto father."

Good luck with that.  

Just to put both Bachmann's and Paul's results in context, Pat Robertson won the Iowa poll years ago.  This poll doesn't indicate who will win, or likely win, the nomination.  But it can end people's campaigns, like Pawlenty.  He needs to quit.
