Ron Paul Wins Presidential Straw Poll at CPAC


www.foxnews.com
Ron Paul has ended Mitt Romney's three-year run as conservatives' favorite for president, taking 31 percent of the vote in the Conservative Political Action Conference's annual straw poll.

Paul, a Republican congressman from Texas known for his libertarian views, ran for president in 2008 but was never a serious contender for the GOP nomination.

Romney, former Massachusetts governor and also a 2008 GOP candidate, has won the last three presidential straw polls at the annual conference. This year, he came in second, with 22 percent.

I agree it all has to come down to be real again. America has a House. At least it used to have a House. now it is a home for a Corporation. most of you have, at one time or another, worked for a corporation. All corporations have something in common. They all need a corporate head, a CEO, a Boss over the company. This is America's House now, it has become a company that You, the People now work for, instead of the other way around. You may not know, or even believe this, but each one of you reading this is a commodity. Commodities are bought and sold on Wall Street every day, aren't they?

The only way we the People will ever get those fat cats, those greedy bastards out of their comfy places if to fire them all and start over again. Can this be done? Yes, it can. We put them in there, didn't we? what if America just stands up and votes "no confidence" to all of the Congress and Senate, and yes, even the Supreme Court.

Here is an idea I had today.
What if the Governors of all 50 States came together and hold a summit? Say in Kansas City, a central location. Say that this summit of Governors sent a demand to the White House, the Congress, the Senate, the Supreme Court. "Want to keep your jobs? Then come down here and explain why you need to keep it to us. Tell us what you have done for, or against the people of the united States." "either come here, to this summit, or else we take you out of public office tomorrow, with prejudice."

Now I think this is a good plan, and people of this fine forum, you can see what is happening in America today. Revolution is brewing, Rebellion is on everybody's lips.
Do We the People want another shooting war? No, we do not. We want a peaceful way to tear ourselves from this ragged corporation, we wish to quit. We wish to be a free people again. We desire no blood be shed, but people, if something doesn't happen soon, I fear an explosion here in America's Heartland. Look around you, and listen to the news, and look around on this forum. You all know it's true.

Ron Paul will make REAL change happen.. and I tell you. Americans won't like it.


You may be right. Either way...Americans are not going to like what is coming in our future unless things DO change.

Many of the things he would like to do he will not be able to do. People freak out on some of his stances...but it would be impossible for him to do without backing from Congress which people seem to forget.

Anyway...he's an honest man who I believe will call out the corrupt. We need an honest man in the white house and I've never seen one for as long as I've graced this earth.

Yeah, but he never won the CPAC straw poll, Mitt Romney always did. He was their golden boy.

He is old, but he is also the best candidate that people know of. If he wins, and doesn't die of "old age" it will probably only because he serves powerful interests. Who's?
I think he'll inherit a bankrupted America, I think government borrowing has only put a band aid on the financial problems, and when China starts to sell it's treasuries, others will follow causing the band aid to pop off:

So it could well be that the things he stands for such as...
Lower defence spending, less aggressive foreign policy, government-fed reorganisation, ect will have to come about anyway. Not because the elites have changed their hearts, but out of necessity!!!
That's why he might live to win, good news for American politics, but only probable because more important things like the currency are virtually wreaked.
