The Iowa vote won't be any closer to the final result than it was last time.  Remember Huckabee was the surprise 2nd place finisher last time and McCain wasn't even  there.

DO YOU FUCKING UNDERSTAND ?

There is only one way out of this shit, need I say i t again ? (actually for members who might not have seen because they are more recent inductees, say the word and I will put it out here) There is only one way, the rest i s all a bunch of shit.

But I won't bore you all with it unless someone needs to read it.

Status: offline 		Okay, I've admitted I'm not that savvy when it comes to politics so if someone wouldn't mind explaining where these particular numbers have come from to say he came in second.

The one I saw had an entirely different outcome. May not be a credible source but that kinda leads me to my actual point and question. What WOULD be the most respected poll to glean info from?

Not only did this show a huge difference but I watched it and it sure as hell looked like RP was most well received.

Your link is on the debate, the numbers on him coming in second in the straw poll come from RPs website. The straw poll is a "pre-Iowa caucus" litmus test, nothing more. Romney won it last year and Huckabee won the caucus. It means nothing, since it doesnt commit any delegates.

It gives Bachmann and Paul just a little more cred.  Romney, Huntsman, and Perry didn't go on the ballot, figuring that they could lose cred but not gain it.

So Pawlenty finishing a distant third hurt him.  For God's sake, Santorum finished fourth.  Everyone else is a clear loser.

Yeah, you know why ? Because the sheeple will not give up the goods, what is taken from taxpayers. People vote for what they can get.

Willy, you and I disagree on alot of shit and we each think the other an asshole, but do a fucking Google search for Horatio Bunce. You think you are conservative ? You are nothing like these motherfuckers in the past. It would most likely blow your brain. If you are as bad ass as you think you are, post the story here, in this thread and clear this shit up.

Balls, usem or losem.;

Just how many republicans showed up to Ron Paul`s counter convention during the actual RNC convention?

Talk about embarrassing.The way his own party fucked him.

And talk about humiliating,for his own party.

You goddamn right because you have no idea. I would let people starve. No shit.

But what you and most of the sheepulace in this country fails to understand is that NOT letting people starve or die is what gives them POWER. Think of what " a chicken in every pot" did for FDR. I see this shit and I see it for what it is, and I don't hate your millionaire ass, in fact I think it's cool that someone like you, who knows how to play the system, is also a member here.

I actually know who you are by the shit you have said, but it doesn't matter, privacy on this board is of prime inportance. Oh you can say " I am just a .........", but I know. But it doesn't matter.

But towards the end, I think your views will come closer to mine, rather than the other way around. You may live to see a different way, to change your mind. There is something wrong with the one you have. So what.

So what.
