...has gotta deal out th black guy or she's in trouble.
Bout time they get a Black brother in that White house. Call it the Black house. ya.
a White woman for president and a subservient male Negro vice-president isn't such a bad idea. Hell, we've tried everything else, even voted in a chimp, (not the smartest chimp but a chimp just the same) and that didn't work.
...the more he wins, the harder it is to convince the party that she's the person to go on to the next step.
Right now, no one's asking who is the best candidate, only who can beat the republicans.
The republican survey is given to 'likely voters' in primaries, which only comprises those who voted for bush in 04...only the most hardcore of the republicans..the ones who still love bush. Ron Paul's supporters are in large degree those who didn't vote in 04 for bush because he ran pretty much unopposed. Democrats and independents can show up at the primaries and switch to the republican party and vote. The tens of millions of ron paul supporters will vastly outnumber the few hundred thousand people who voted for bush in 04, and who comprise those who are being polled... it's no mystery that the 'top tier' GOP candidates are all appealing to the 'security mom' types and the evangelicals
I am a reformed Evangelical, went back to Catholicism. The thing about many Evangelicals is that they have the mentality of 'The sheep hear the shepherd. They listen for his voice. They follow him wherever he goes.' To these Evangelicals, Pastor Huckabee has become that shepherd on a national scale as the one who represents Jesus the Good Shepherd. Pastor Huckabee is full of scandals, but they ignore it because he's the shepherd and the sheep follow the shepherd wherever he goes. The consequences of the philosophy are often not good. On an extreme scale this was the Rev. Jim Jones in Guyana. On a lesser scale happening every day it is people giving away their life's savings to their pastors or the teleministers. If these Evangelical pastors were poor themselves and the money really went to the poor it would be one thing. If they gave all the money for example, to the suffering Christians and Jews in Iraq and elsewhere in the Middle East, I would call them saints. But these pastors, especially the heads of the megachurches and the televangicals, are all multimillionaires! Jesus' words come to mind: 'They devour widows houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers.' Furthermore, Pastor Huckabee is also a politician who wants to be president. An even bigger no no. This does not reflect well on Evangelicals to my mind. I am voting for Ron Paul for president. He is not a huckster. He is a man of integrity and truth. Evangelicals take note: Dr Paul is pro-life, has been married to his wife for 50 years, and his older brother is a Lutheran minister.
The first half of this post covers the problems with the ARG poll amply.

Namely, the ARG poll makes no attempt to account for cell phone users. Given the youth skew of Obama's support, that is a real problem. No wonder they've produced numerous results off by 20 points or more.
has an enormous hole to dig themselves out of, a hole created by GWB. Ron Paul has an enormous shovel. T'would be a shame to see the same old political fluff voted in. I'm an independent voting for Ron Paul.
Somehow, we've survived Bush; now we cannot afford not to have Ron Paul.
Record employment
low inflation
record tax receipts
outstanding exports
Iraq secure and dealing
Stopping useless liberal legislation at every turn.
The only 'hole' here is the one you libazis dug for Bush and he's avoided for the last two terms!
Highest housing foreclosure rate since the Great Depression. (and just getting started - still not at the bottom)
$1,500 less in annual purchasing power per houshold.
30% percent decline in the value of the US dollar in the last 3 yrs.
Over 50% percent of ALL Illegal immigrants came in under Bush's watch ... er neglect.
More than $9,000 billion in debt (an increase of more than 50%!!!!) under Bush's (and Republican Congress) leadership.
...
Regarding SP4's comment 'Iraq Secure' ... even from SP4, that's beyond stupid. (OK, SP4, if Iraq is secure, then we should be able to leave now, right? ... idiot!!!)
This poll closely resembles the AOL online poll. I assume Ron Paul was actually included as a chose this time.
Hillary is an absolute disaster for america and ron paul surely gets my vote.
We cannot have another clinton in the white house, one clinton is enough for me.
I'm really hoping Hilary wins the Dem nomination, this will really help Paul. Once he wins the GOP nomination and is up against her in the general election, he will win in a landslide!
Dark Horse going to the dark house? I think so. I still don't belive these polls represent the real support he has and I also belive we're heading for the political upset of the century. I'm a RP supporter.
why do we need a president?
we went 7 yr.s without one already.
Ron Paul is an interesting, libertarian candidate. But libertarianism is the Utopian idealism of the right, just as socialism is the Utopian idealism of the left. Paul and the libertarians do not seem to realize that capitalism always requires new markets and thus, wars to open them up. Iraq is a case in point. That war is merely globalization by force.
Paul has no chance to get elected. Even if he did, his policies have about as much chance being implement as a snowball has of thriving in Hades.
Ron Paul wants peace. Hillary wants to continue murdering people. RON PAUL for peace and liberty. Hillary is a gun grabber as well.
This was written in defense of GWB:
Record employment
low inflation
record tax receipts
outstanding exports
Iraq secure and dealing
Stopping useless liberal legislation at every turn.

My question is:
1) What is a libazis? If what you are trying to communicate is that Ron Paul is a liberal, wrong.
2) If you are trying to say that record employment of meaningless jobs is good, ok your right, but the middle class is disappearing because jobs created by Walmart & McDonalds don't cut it while good jobs are being outsourced by Corporate America.
3) If you think outstanding exports are good at the expense of inflation due to a sinking dollar, good job GWB! NOT!
4) If you are trying to say Iraq is stable, ask yourself was it worth spending the Trillions of dollars to remove Sadam so we could pave the path for a Iranian run Iraq.... stay tuned this one is still playing out.
Harry reid and John 'pockets' Murtha have both admitted the surge was successful.
Houseold wealth is at a Historic High.
Foreclosures are not the reuslt of the President. They are borrowers and lenders who made some big mistakes.
Bush actually wants to help those who do not deserve it.
Go see how Clinton dealt with illegal immigrints...he has his wife using them for illegal cash donations! Don't balme Bush
9 trillion debt - we're at war, so that is what it takes.
Iran is dealing
N. Korea is dealing
Iraq is pacified and dealing to democracy
Bush has defeated AMT and Paygo in Congress, has Reid boxed in and must be laughing out loud.
Lame? Who...Reid?
