New poll: Paul is above the rest in Iowa.
Can he win New Hampshire?
Money quote from the latter: “If those two unexpected events do occur, then all hell will rain down upon the Paulistas. The GOP establishment will throw everything including the kitchen sink, the garage door opener, and two dozen pair of oversized baboon dentures at Paul to keep him from becoming the nominee.”
Never mind that it makes no difference; what a drama it would be.
Happened to be listening to Limbaugh in the Jeep a few days ago, and judging from what he had to say the GOP is finding it increasingly difficult to ignore Paul. He’s gone from being “loony” to “dangerous” and “a real problem.”
No way in hell they’re going to give in and treat him like an actual candidate, that’s clear, but for the moment he’s no longer the invisible one. At last notice, the official line is that this is because his rabid followers are cheating. Imagine! They use that newfangled “internet” thing to skew the votes in the straw polls and such. Nefarious.
It’s fun to watch.
Yeah, they can’t stand it that he’s leading in the polls, so they’ll attempt to discredit the vote in advance. They remind me of spoiled children, stamping their feet and turning red in the face, screaming. “Mommy, mommy! Why is he winning? Make him stop!”
Ugh, politics.
But RP rocks.
It doesn’t really matter if Ron Paul wins in Iowa. Hillary Clinton won the Iowa caucus and is now the Sec of State. The more the Republican National Commitee fusses about Ron Paul, the more credibility they lose. When a huge majority of the party faithful see the party as irrelevant, the party should not reinforce that belief. The Republican party should be doing the analysis and learning why Ron Paul is ahead. Could it be because Romney/Gingrich are completely out of touch with the voters? Both are has-been moderate Republicans with serious ethical and character issues, they should be real popular with voters.
Hahahaha! It is interesting!
Great video, explains what r’s and d’s try to distort;

The defamation has already started, of course. But so far, all they’ve managed to come up with is a very old story about his “racism” that has made the rounds before.
At this point we should not be letting other people decide for us if we should vote for Ron Paul or not, assuming you still vote. Don’t leave it up to the media or the “elites” in the party, they’ve done enough damage. Do the searches, look up the materials, exaimine Ron Paul’s life and decide for yourself.
