The Straw Poll Was Probably Stolen From Ron Paul

I have it from a very good source that virtually all the people involved in Ron's Iowa campaign, and who had worked for other candidates in previous straw polls, believe that Ron actually won, but the GOP establishment fixed the results to give it to the warmonger Bachmann. To the extend the media suspected this, they cheered.

BTW, the bulk of Bachmann' s support came from warmonger ministers from across Iowa, who bused their obedient congregants to Ames with orders to support the "Christian candidate." They were automatons, in other words, not the thinking individuals who supported Ron.

Not a Subject of Uncle Slam's?

Then you're not really human, according to Michele Bachmann.

Was There Monkey Business at the Straw Poll?

Infowars.com thinks it's possible #1 was stolen from Ron.

Voter Intensity Will Decide 2012

Though Mark McKinnon doesn't think so, we know that it is Ron Paul who benefits from this intensity.

Here are the results from the AL straw poll yesterday:

Romney 16

How many did you-know-who get? Unmentioned.

Perry: A Legend in His Own Mind

See Bob Wenzel on Gardasil Rick and jobs. As Ron Paul notes, Texas has never had a personal nor corporate income tax, and is a right-to-work state. Those are the basic reasons for its success, not the antics of Plutocracy Perry. Besides, the governor in Texas is mostly a figurehead, thanks to the Texas constitution. The lieutenant governor is the real power.

A Regimist on Ames

Writes Howard Fineman:

With the announcement of the Ames Straw Poll results, I drew the following conclusions:

Bye-bye T-Paw

Perry as a last-minute write-in bests a weak Mitt

Combination of Bachmann and Paul strength will generate more questions about the wisdom of doing a straw poll at all

Newt, with 385 votes, needs to drop outSantorum is in danger with a fourth place finish in a state where evangelicals matter so much

Romney supporters argue that this will help Mitt by pitting Perry against Bachmann for the evangelical/Tea Party vote

Ron Paul is about to become a MAJOR headache for the GOP

Right you are about that last one, Howard. The militarist-bankster alliance can't stand the light of day, and Ron Paul is opening all the windows.
