Dr.Ron Paul Can Beat The Big Government Keynesian, Obama.
Oooooor, The GOP Can Run The Three Chickenhawk Big Government RINO-CINO's
Let The Plastic GOP RINO-CINO's Put Up Or Shut Up About The Reality Of A General Election Electability.
" CBS Poll: Independents Prefer Ron Paul Vs Obama
In a head to head match up with incumbent President Barack Obama, the indie voter chooses Ron Paul, a CBS News poll suggested on Monday.
A total of 47% of independent voters said they would choose Ron Paul compared to 45% of independent voters choosing Mitt Romney against Obama, and 41% of independents saying they would choose Rick Santorum. If a Paul-Obama showdown were ever to take place, 47% of independent voters would vote for Paul, 81% republicans and 10% Democrats for a total of 45% of the vote. Obama would get just 40% of the independent vote in that contest, with 85% of the Democrats choosing Obama and 9% of Republicans choosing the President on election day in November. Obama would win the general election by a narrow one point margin if the election was held today between the two."

No, Paul can effectuate an Obama re-election, especially if he takes his weirdo road show down the third party route!!!!!!!!!!
Clint| 1.22.12 @ 11:41AM
Ah ! RINO-CINO Apologist Fart Pants, But Mr.Neutered Is Our Useful Dupe To Monkey Wrench The GOP Ruling Elites' RINO-CINO Agenda.
Watch & Learn RINO-CINO Apologist,Fart Pants.
The Tea Party Rebellion Is In Florida.

This is why I love AmSpec. Brilliant analysis and sparkling repartee.

If you don't like it get lost. You don't contribute anything so nobody will miss you. Mike who? We have enought Mikes here.
O Tamandua| 1.22.12 @ 1:58PM
MikeG, that's really what everyone else needs to tell Dr. Paul. He's not contributing anything, hasn't and isn't going to win anything. Any good fiscal ideas he has are undermined by the rest of his beliefs. It's time for him to bow out of this race.
MikeG| 1.22.12 @ 2:33PM
Agree with you O.
Clint| 1.22.12 @ 3:24PM
That's O.K.
Mr.Neutered Winning In Florida Helps To Force A Brokered Convention And Damage The RINO-CINO GOP Ruling Elites' Game Plan.
That Plays Into Dr.Ron Paul's Game Plan, As Well, But Don't Tell The RINO-CINO's.
The Tea Party Rebellion Heads To A Brokered Convention.

Monkey Wrench? Is that something you Paulistas use to change the tires on your collective bicycles when becoming FLAT on the plains of Lake Jackson.....in your TOO SHORT SHORTS attire perhaps???????
chuck| 1.22.12 @ 11:39AM
Paul can't beat Newt, Romney, or Santorum. He can, however, beat Perry and Huntsman, who are no longer running.
Paul.....4th....last, dead last......13%
BWAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAHAAAAAAA

Ron Paul is preaching "Black Power." He is a liar. In the Myrtle Beach debate, he accused American Judicial System for being too harsh on Blacks and blamed on Whites. He was wrong.
Majority of blacks are uneducated and unemployed, and commit 90% of all crimes. More blacks are incarcerated than whites, logically.
The American Judicial System is fair and balanced, and rewards redemption and hard work. Majority of blacks who are imprisoned are repeated offenders and have no respect for law and order.
Blacks favor big government and are abusing our welfare system.
We must stop that.
Dai Alanye | 1.23.12 @ 12:40AM
I love the "chickenhawk" comments coming from libertarian heroes, every one of them in the mold of Jesse Ventura. I'm sure Clint will show us a true copy of his discharge papers and medal citations soon.
Oldefarte| 1.22.12 @ 11:21AM
As an aside, the one forum male writer-contributor with the typical disgusting [Osama Bin Laden Muslim terrorist style] needs to discover the products of the Gillette Company, especially their razors. As to the subject, possibly the promotion of Ginguich is a political ploy by Obama/Democrats to place a defeatable opponent on a pedistal in order to easily garner their victory in November. Could Gincuich be more easily attacked than Romney, and could the Axelrod/Emmanuel/Obama/Garrett political machine of Chicago be plotting thus???????
martin j smith| 1.22.12 @ 11:59AM
Unless Romney takes on a more Conservative tone and lambastes the MSM interlopers along with Obama directly he is toast. He cannot play defense but now go after the real enemy. That is the winning line and why Newt beat Romney. The real enemy are the Socialists period.
Oldefarte| 1.22.12 @ 1:28PM
Agreed!!!!
bill| 1.22.12 @ 12:35PM
THANK YOU SC! THE LAND OF LIBERTY HAS SPOKEN OUT !
GO SC! GO NEWT! GO TEA PARTY! GO GOP!
PattyMor| 1.22.12 @ 1:07PM
Sorry, Paulbots, but Ron Paul will NEVER be the president. Ok, so he's strong on cutting spending, but then that's the theme of the Tea Party, so its hardly original. He's right on the federal reserve. There is NOTHING federal about the federal reserve and its been distructive. Holding rates too low and fueling the housing frenzy. Only God knows who its shoveling money to these days.
But Paul is naive about Islam and its intentions. Islam means submit, and they intend it for the non-Islam world. Sorry but someone who is naive about Islam is not fit to be President.

We Are Heading To A Brokered Convention.
Mittens: 33 Delegates.

Mr. Neutered Is Our Tea Party Useful Dupe To Monkey Wrench The GOP RINO'-CINO's Agenda.
If We Can Get Mr.Neutered Elected In Florida, Phase One Is Accomplished.
Go Big Pillsbury DoughBoy, Go !
Oldefarte| 1.22.12 @ 1:31PM
'...If We Can Get Mr.Neutered Elected In Florida...' Wait, I thought the election occurred in November?????????

When RINO-CINO Apologists Are Reduced To Parsing Word Games, We Got Em.
Watch & Learn, Mr. Shitpants.
Go Mr.Neutered Go !
Crassus| 1.22.12 @ 4:30PM
Is Newt running for an office in Floria? Governor? Attorney General? Dog Catcher? Ron Paul Stomper?
Sean| 1.22.12 @ 1:21PM
Newt will get slaughtered in a general election. He was for global warming, individual mandates, and huge federal programs and spending. Plus the guy has no moral credibility. He is not someone I or a lot of other conservatives will vote for. He has more in common with Clinton or Obama than a conservative.
There is only one true conservative in the race and that's Ron Paul. He is for a strong national defense, fiscal sanity, and giving social issues back to the states.
Oldefarte| 1.22.12 @ 1:34PM
Shazam, certainly not enough of his fellow TRUE CONSERVATIVES voted for him in SC, since he finished last. This ain't biblican in that THE FIRST SHALL BE LAST AND THE LAST SHALL BE FIRST!!!!!!
Clint| 1.22.12 @ 3:38PM
Shhhhhhh !
Don't Tell The RINO-CINO's, Sean.
The Pillsbury DoughBoy Is Doin' Some Lawn Mowin' For Dr.Ron Paul & Forcing An Extended Campaign And A Brokered Convention.
bill| 1.22.12 @ 4:06PM
Obama will get slaughtered in the general election. He gave us 10% unemployment, $15 trillion debt, and Iran capable of nuclear weapon.
martin j smith| 1.22.12 @ 1:41PM
Sean if Newt ( and I do mean IF ) can generate energy what is energy with a capital E and thus enthusiasm for his candidacy he will beat the pants off Obama. The voters in SC are not alone--they want to hear a leader lead and inspire. The smackdown of Socialist BS is what voters want to hear but they also want some one who loves this country. Obama does not. Paul does not and Romney could care less. If Newt wants to be President he could do it.
Clint| 1.22.12 @ 3:43PM
The Only Military Veteran, Dr.Ron Paul Takes On The Four Chickenhawks, Barky Obama, Mittens Romney, Mr.Neutered And Ricky Specter-Santorum.
There's The Doer & Then There's The Coat Holders.
bill| 1.22.12 @ 4:04PM
You're illiterate socialist liberal Obama-Dog. Ron Paul is the godfather of "Black Power", he's preaching black liberation theology, favoring blacks over whites. He needs to join NAACP-the racist ethnic clan.
Crassus| 1.22.12 @ 4:28PM
Damn, I just cut another fart. Nice going, Clint.
bill| 1.22.12 @ 4:02PM
I see Newt Gingrich, I see Ronald Reagan. Newt is the "Shadow" of Reagan. I salute Newt.
Dai Alanye | 1.23.12 @ 12:47AM
I'm afraid I see delusion. Reagan is gone, and there are none like him in sight now, nor would he have recognised any of this bunch as spiritual heirs. Sad but true.
