Ron Paul Wins Iowa GOP Debate

Yeah I'd believe the Wall Street Journal would say that being part of the Faux Snews family and all I'd be surprised if it claimed any different.

Fox News was even forced to take down its own poll from its website after Paul crushed the competition in a landslide. Readers can can view that poll here. This is the largest online GOP debate poll, and just under 30,000 Americans have voted. Ron Paul has received a whopping 16,188 votes thus far, which is more than triple the support of runner-up Newt Gingrich. [link]

I knew I shoulda asked for credible sources. :BangHead:

 

The owner of ABC (Disney) is invested in oil and natural gas exploitation.

The owner of NBC (General Electric) is a military contractor.

It wouldn't be in their best interest to report that Ron Paul is shining in all the polls. Bachmann is a safer bet for them as she would continue the all war all the time everywhere strategy that brings Disney and GE incredible profits in the business of endless global warfare.

Talk about media bias. BTW, have you read the comment sections yet?

 

Some are just more persuaded by the facts Tom, thats all. Evidently you aren't one of those inflicted with this particular malady.

What are some these facts? Let's take a look.

The official number of votes counted in the 2011 Iowa Straw Poll is 16,892. The general breakdown of the total is as follows:

4823 – Michelle Bachmann
4671 – Ron Paul
2293 – Pawlenty
1657 – Santorum
1456 – Cain
718 – Perry
567 – Romney
385 – Gingrich
69 – Huntsman
35 – McCotter

Ok, so let’s add up the votes (4823 + 4671 + 2293 + 1657 + 1456 + 718 + 567 + 385 + 69 +35 = 16,674). But wait a minute, the total votes counted were 16,892 right? So, of the total votes counted in the Iowa Straw Poll amounting to 16,892. The ten candidates listed above garnered 16,674. Well that leaves 218 votes unaccounted for.

So where did the remaining 218 votes go?

MSNBC has reported that the 218 is actually only 162 votes that are a “scattering” of ballots for candidates receiving less than one percent of the votes. Ok, fine, so who are these candidates? In addition, if as MSNBC is reporting it is only 162 and not 218, then where did the other 56 votes go? Hey! Let’s confuse the public even more!

< snip >

In closing I suppose we have two mysteries.

1. Where are the 218 unaccounted for votes?
2. Why are media outlets replacing Ron Paul’s second place victory with Rick Perry?

Let’s move on shall we?

Once again I urge everyone to read the comment section at your own risk. Sometimes there is some rather off color comments but mostly you are at risk of finding out just how small the minority is that still believes the government and mainstream corporate media has any credibility left at all. It's that way with all the comments sections from every "news source" I come across. Don't believe me? Start reading them for yourself.

I am talking about facts Salty. What do you mean Paul will never win? He wins everytime he steps in front of the cameras. When there's winners there's losers. Who's losing then? The establishment and the mass dream media are losing. The money changers are losing, the war mongers are losing, the corporate talking head disinformation experts are losing. Why? Because they are being exposed for the frauds they are everytime Ron Paul speaks . . . and they know it! Read the comment sections of the articles that attempt to downplay and demonize Ron Paul. People aren't buying it anymore. The people here are buying it still but then the people here have proven several times over they are one of the most under informed groups on the planet.

Why? Evidently because most of the people here still think the conglomerated mass corporate media is there to inform them and nothing could be further from the truth. They are there to manipulate public opinion. Period. Ron Paul on the other hand is there to inform people and he has been and is doing a fine job of it. The "proof" is in the all the comment sections of the artciles that try and put ole Ron down. Start reading them.

Those are the facts Salty. Like em or don't they are what they are.

 

So now you'd rather not talk about facts, is that it? By the way Salty the author of the article in your link is full of baloney and is using the samo lamo "Paul can't win" mantra that every other establishment pundit is programmed to repeat. I find it rather telling that they all use the same tired old blather word for word. Makes me wonder who's writting the script.

Not really I know who writes the script. A group of private bankers and the "corporations that grew up around it". Isn't corporate fascism wonderful? Must be for you all to keep rooting for it. Mindlessly.

Let ya in on a little secret Salty. I post about Ron Paul mostly because I know all you endless warfare/welfare corporate statists can't stand him because he gives you answers to questions you don't want asked. :laugh:
