Ron Paul wins CPAC straw poll

[TheGreatOne]

Its used to be that Ron Paul supporters couldn't win a straw poll or any poll with 100% turnout.  I think this could be a game changer in the Republican Party.  Despite the Neo-conservative propaganda, the Libertarian movement is growing within.  They are getting larger.  They created the Tea Party events and probaby garner most of the young vote within the party.  Campaign for Liberty is more organized than any political action committee within the Republican Party, and the libertarian message is attracting voters who are intelligent, college-bound, and middle class.  These people have money and motivation.   If any other canidate such Romney, Huckabee or Palin had what Paul has, they would be completely unstoppable.

A vote for Ron Paul represents a vote for an anti-war GOP, bringing the GOP toward the mainstream of American politics, against the neo-con cul de sac which helped destroy the GOP majority in 2006. Congrats to the straw voters of CPAC who "thought outside of the box" so to speak.

Hear, hear.

Where's Gary Johnson?

Seriously, though, this is bad news for CPAC. I'd have just chopped 25% off his total if I were running the thing.

You can basically assume that a vote for Ron Paul is a vote for Gary Johnson.  Most people voting for Ron Paul aren't going to support Palin, Romney, Gingrich or Huckabee.  

Why would you guy 25% off?  Thankfully the people running this think have better  morals than you.

Glenn Beck was speaking prior to that (or maybe after) and the Paul supporters weren't planning on watching Beck because of his treatment of Debra Medina. So there were plenty of Romney and few Paul supporters in the room when the were reading the results.

As far Obama vs. Paul, how's that change working out, particularly with the war in Iraq?

Beck was incredible though.  It was the corrolary to Reagan's Morning in America theme.  He talked about the depression of 1920 which Coolidge ended by cutting both taxes and spending by 50%.  It also railed on Woodrow Wilson, Teddy Roosevelt and Herbert Hoover and discussed the evils of progressivism.  He also told the true story of the statue of liberty not taught in schools along with a story about the two George Washington portraits that were created.

CPAC has had two incredibly appropriate speakers over the last two years.  Rush was important to wipe the smirks off the newly elected administration's face and to discuss what they were planning.  Beck defined the greater enemy.

Both Beck and Rush are undermining the reform of the Republican party, by trying t keep the establishment in place. The same goes with Palin.

Because this ruins any credibility the poll might have had.

I didnt say anything about Palin.  Beck has never been in favor of the establishment - he has embarked on multiple flirtation with third party stuff.  I guess you could say Rush is part of the establishment because hes been around for awhile, but neither of the two really favor the republican establishment (dont tax and spend-sign on with the progressive agenda).

Have you ever listened to Rush before for an extended period of time?- I don't know many people with an econ score like yours disagreeing with him.

[Swing low, sweet chariot. Comin' for to carry me home.]

so, CPAC is loony.

They pretend to have principles, but then the sell out at every turn. It's too obvious.
