People that are FED up with America, banksters, and Those That Must Not Be Named (that run our country in the shadows) will come to see that Ron Paul is the answer for the Republican nomination and for the 45th POTUS. Even the Occupy Wall Street/Los Angeles/Chicago/DC/Atlanta/Dallas Federal Reserve will come to realize Ron Paul is the last best hope for liberty in America.

Also Jon Huntsman-0%!!!! Hahahahaha

beware the cornered criminals 
- are becoming very desperate

Good for Ron Paul.  He is at least consistent in his views.

Funny thing is, I thought the “Values Voters” summit was dominated by fundies. Ron Paul isn’t exactly what I call a fundie.

His speech was pacifist in nature, wherein he aligned his views with those of Jesus Christ.

To be honest, does anyone take these straw polls seriously?    

Ah, so he catered to the audience.

At least you report it this time, you guys can’t ignore Ron Paul anymore. 

I guess the folks, did really take in the Baptist preacher’s message about Mitt belonging to a cult. 

Being a Mormon is disqualifying.

I’m a Ron Paul supporter and never received anything from the campaign about this event.

This idea that we’re somehow cheating is absurd.

The limbaughists now think it’s CHEATING for RON PAUL TO WIN.

You Losers.

What’d convicted felon Jack Abramoff’s very good friend Tony Perkins have to say?

Yes. Consistently crazy.

Oh good. Someone who hates personal liberty and the constitution as much as I do. Hey, I was thinking later we could print some currency, prevent people from protesting in public and then invade as small country without congressional approval. Sound fun?

So it would have “counted” if Ron Paul hadn’t won? 

Keep voting for the guy that is perpetuating endless wars in the middle east, drug wars here in america, and breaking every promise of his campaign. Or you could vote for an establishment Republican, same thing really.

So the fundie Tony Perkins responded to the poll results with sour grapes. Shocker!

Why is it that whenever Ron Paul wins, it doesn’t count?  

 People left after Paul spoke because they didn’t want to hear a bunch of statist neocons!!!

 People left after Paul spoke because they didn’t want to hear a bunch of statist neocons!!!

gary busey beat huntsman again, ive never seen such a rigged election in my life im voting for ron paul

Fact: All the real republicans have been watching college football. This was a joke right?

The Family Research Council is the one that hosted the Value Voters Summit. Why would they host a poll that they would later call irrelevant? The fix is in by the establishment to try to dissuade voters against Paul. I bet the MSM will not even cover the results on Monday (though all they talked about yesteday was how a preacher claimed Mormonism is a “cult.” Give me a break, what if someone prominent said Judaisim is a cult? Now that’s something that would garner less attention than a Paul victory.

This one should have been easy. Of all the candidates, which one seems to actually model his life after Christ? Gandhi once said, “I’d become a Christian if I’d ever met one.”  Too bad he never met Ron Paul!

Did you read the piece?

Did you consider the possibility that I wrote the comment before the “Update” was posted. You are such troll.

Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes.The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them.About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They invent. They imagine. They heal. They explore. They create. They inspire. They push the human race forward.Maybe they have to be crazy.How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art? Or sit in silence and hear a song that’s never been written? Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels?We make tools for these kinds of people.While some see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.- Apple Inc

Do you recall this happening repeatedly 4 years ago? And the same thing with internet polls?

How did that work out for Paul supporters at the actual polls? You know, the ones where people vote for real.

Lol!! John Huntsman did well!! He received a whopping 0% of the vote!! More proof that there’s no room for Moderates in the new Republicon Party!!

Furthermore, Mitt also performed like crap with 4% of the vote, possibly proving there’s no room for a Mormon winning the nomination??

you really like getting your news from tv , wake the hell up stop watching bill orielly , cnn and fox and do some research

nice try but ron paul is not part of the establishment just look who funds him and it aint the bankers or corporations that fund all other candidates . BOOYA MORON

sorry ss miss understood you there

obama the worst president in history please tell me y you want him re elected

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLm7Sw402xE

yeah this is crazy

They lied in the video.  They said Bachman won the VP vote.  Ron Paul actually won both the Presidential and the VP vote totals, meaning even if there were “600″ dedicated supporters, he was still everyone elses 2nd choice.

I was talking about Obama.

Family Research Council head Tony Perkins responded
to the results in a press conference, calling them “irrelevant,” as
Paul had won and many of his supporters had registered early in the
morning

WHAT gNOpig MORONS!

If the results are IRRELEVANT THEN WHY DO YOU MORONS use the straw poll? UH?

If Parry had won the straw poll, the gNOpig teabaggeds  would be humping each other in airport restrooms.

Most of you guys are missing the point of why Family Research Council head Tony Perkins says it doesn’t count. Tony Perkins is all about straight marriage and “family values,” while Ron Paul says he doesn’t care if a man does want to marry a pig. It is none of the government’s business! Since this is supposed to be a winner for the Christian Right, and Ron Paul isn’t the kind of Christian Tony Perkins can support, Perkins is crying foul. Perkins hates the fact that his side is getting shot down, big time. PERKINS WANTED SANTORUM or Bachmann TO WIN. He must have tried to rig it that way, ‘cuz Santorum never did that well anywhere else, and it is also a good reason for Huntsman to not even try. Bottom line is that Paul is all about real small government but Perkins wants sex police everywhere.

Sorry to blow your bubble Pablo, but you are wrong. Romney won in 2007. Ron Paul won very few straw polls during the 2008 campaign. Mike Huckabee, came in 2nd. Ron Paul finished in third place, with 15 percent of the vote, and former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson finished in fourth place with 10 percent in the last values poll. Same thing with Iowa, only Ron Paul had a much smaller percent if I remember correctly. Romney also won the CPAC poll in 2007 as well.

I got as many votes as Roveman. Sorry, Huntsman. I went and voted, then left to come home and work. I really didn’t need to hear Ron, as I’ve heard him before. But I surely wasn’t staying to listen to candidates offering more of the same and never speaking to what principles they would use when they want to “shrink” gov’t. Hint, Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution.    

Corporate bastards!

No, this is crazy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QZlp3eGMNI

You hit the nail on the head. Paul wasn’t supposed to win this. He is not “family values” as defined by Tony Perkins and the Christian Conservatives.

Yeah, that nut was predicting a housing crash in 2007. What an idiot! That didn’t happen did it?

Hello, bigot!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Results_of_the_2008_Republican_Party_presidential_primaries

Update: Full results of the poll at Infowars. http://www.infowars.com/ron-paul-wins-2011-values-voter-summit-straw-poll/ 

Huntsmas received 0.1% of the vote (2 votes total, him and his wife?)

What it really proves is that the winner of this straw poll has the least chance of winning in November. Only the extreme wing of the Teapublicans was supposed to win this one. Paul should have come in last with this group and their desire to declare the Baptist Church as the official religion of the United States.

Do you mean the fact that he gets more donations from active servicemen than any other candidate?

This is so confusing to me. I’m a Ron Paul supporter and naturally, I want to vote for Ron Paul. But, because I support Ron Paul, what am I supposed to do? Am I supposed to vote for some other candidate so my vote will count? Should I not vote at all? Could I at least have my vote count as maybe two thirds of a vote? I have a better idea. Why don’t you just call the whole thing the Neoconservative Poll? Then, I’m pretty sure Ron Paul wouldn’t be listed and I wouldn’t be voting anyway because I’m a real Eisenhower/ Barry Goldwater/ Ronald Reagan Conservative and wouldn’t be caught dead in the Neoconservative Poll! That way everyone is happy and the people who sponsored this poll don’t have to look like such embarrassing idiots!

ron paul is worse than all the other gop ers .  He is a libertarian HELLO.  MONEY TALKs

It’s a weekend – you know what that means?
Time for a new GOP frontrunner

Tell that to the guy who thinks being a Mormon is like being in a cult!!

Values Voter straw poll organizers suggest a fix in Ron Paul’s win

The 2007 article mentions “Congressman Ron Paul has finished in the top 5 in 16 of the last 17 straw polls” and goes on to talk about 3 wins. Ron Paul is not finishing 5th this year. He is usually finishing 1st or 2nd, so this is not like 2008. Straw polls, of course, are not scientific anymore than the thousands of online polls we see Ron Paul often win. They do help gage is the intensity of his support and all of that strength can be an important asset in a campaign. Most of his supporters are well educated and have spent many hours studying history and economics, military history and can just about recite the Constitution by heart. For the most part they come from the same mold as the Eisenhower and then  Goldwater people who finally took over the party and remained to see Ronald Reagan take back the party from the establishment. If you recall, Reagan was a bigger long shot than Ron Paul. Especially in 1976. Like me they understand that National Defense is not the same as National Offense and the backbone of a strong defense is our economy. In our last true defensive war, we didn’t just win it with soldiers, we won it with factories which built thousands of ships and Airplanes and Tanks and weapons. When Reagan talked about Peace through strength he was talking about real strength. God help us if our next true war involves fighting China! (Which it very well . could). Are the neocons who have sold everything we have down the river gonna be ordering weapons from our enemy China? The neocons have got people so stupid it’s like they can’t even think for themselves anymore. I think we spent maybe 20 days at war when Reagan was in office. When the Marine barracks were blown up Reagan said “Those people are crazy over there” and got us out immediately. He was a sane man. That’s not what we have now. Mu son is a Marine. I don’t know of any soldiers or Marines personally who are not supporting Ron Paul and he gets more donations from military personnel than all other candidates combined. What do you know they don’t know which makes them wrong?
I didn’t mean to get so long winded, but I want you to know most Ron Paul supporters are like me and love this country and honestly feel this is the last chance this country has for our children and grandchildren to know the same America we knew. When you start studying Corporatism and the effects of Lobbyist and the Military Industrial Complex Eisenhower warned us about along with all the other industrial complexes we now have, I  can assure you, you will be as fearful as we are. We don’t have time to get it wrong.

Schedule slowing down. It was every other day.

I get the attraction. I agree with Paul 85% of the time. This doesn’t change the fact that when there’s a vote to be had Paul supporters swarm the poll. But when it comes time to cast actual ballots, there just aren’t enough of them to come anywhere near winning.

Ron Paul will never be POTUS. I have high hopes for Rand, though. 

It is so easy to call someone crazy just because FOX and MSNBC say so. take the time to study Dr. Paul’s constitutional and economic stances and you will sing a different tune. Or you can just continue to resort to ad hominem and demagoguery which is much easier to do anyway.

“Eisenhower/ Barry Goldwater/ Ronald Reagan Conservative”

Wow, you just listed three COMPLETELY different kinds of conservatives.

You lost me there Tony. Three individuals and three different times but all with very much the same values, the same principles and wisdom. All three had common sense, all three had strong belief in individual liberty and strong suspicions of the cancer of big government. Reagan did have neoconservative Jeanne Kirkpatrick in his cabinet and they had his ear to some extent but in the end Reagan always went back to his own instincts and is own principles. If he saw he made a mistake he corrected it immediately as he did in Lebanon. As for Eisenhower, if we had simply listened to his final grave warning to us about the “Military Industrial Complex” we wouldn’t be having this discussion nor would we have a dozen other Industrial Complexes who all run modern America. Now if I had included Richard Nixon, then you would have a point. He was at least as crazy and insane as most of our current crop and considerable more evil. He had a fear of individual liberty bordering on paranoia and Eisenhower despised him and expressed fear for our nation with him at the helm. You are welcome to draw your own conclusions but I’m a little miffed at them. Let me put it this way. If Eisenhowe, Goldwater and Reagan were all in a room together there would be a lot of comradery between them. A common belief in who we are and what we stand for as Americans. If you added Ron Paul to that room he would fit right in. I can’t think of another Republican or Democratic candidate who would. Listen to Reagan’s words. What Republican today would say such a thing. “You and I are told increasingly that we have to choose between a left or right, but I would like to suggest that there is no such thing as a left or right. There is only an up or down — up to a man’s age-old dream; the ultimate in individual freedom consistent with law and order — or down to the ant heap of totalitarianism, and regardless of their sincerity, their humanitarian motives, those who would trade our freedom for security have embarked on this downward course”. To me, and many others, the answer to that is clear. If you wonder why Ron Paul supporters are so ardent and dedicated and act as though their lives depend on this election, wonder no more. To us, this is the last chance to pass on to our children the America we knew. If we do lose, I can only hope and pray we are all wrong..

Why would that disqualify anyone? I remember when a Catholic couldn’t get elected. Do you really think that everyone in government is a God-fearing washed in the blood born again Christian?  Obama has done nothing but convince me that his brand of collective salvation has nothing to do with being a Christian. 

Pablo – I respect what you’re saying and would be the first to agree we have an uphill battle ahead. If anything, as the message resonates more with the people, I can only imagine how far the status quo would go to protect their power. If they feel truly threatened, we ain’t seen nothing yet. Talk about David vs Goliath! Here’s this frail little old man with his $20 donations going against all the power of the once free world. Yeah, we got our work cut out for us!
 

This poll is a excercise in futility.  In 2008 Romney won the poll and we know who got the nomination. So not to worry Paul haters if history repeats itself Paul is done.  

Establishment employee alert?

Dear Mr. Perkins (Chairman of Family Research Group)

I read with quiet dismay your accusation of Ron Paul supporters stuffing the ballot box in the Value Voter Straw Poll.  I am confused because just a few days before you were asking us to rally folks, and to get behind our candidate and to turn up and vote? 

Which is it Mr. Perkins?  Rally folks and get behind our candidate….or….is it only for the candidate “you” feels fits “your” image of the correct person??? 

The longer I witness  actions from “supposedly” honest, christian folks such as yourself Mr. Perkins the more I am convinced that if God himself came down to put in a vote for Ron Paul…you would accuse HIM of “stuffing the ballot box”.

I wanted to travel to DC and vote for Dr. Paul because I truly believe he is the best candidate but I just couldn’t work it into my schedule       …so …if I had made the trip from North Carolina to DC to do so ….you would have discounted “my” vote?   If I had made that same trip in support of Cain, it would have been done fairly???  Because… as you said Herman Cain’s second place finish was impressive?   So, Paul stuffed the box…but Cain with 23% of the votes didn’t???? 
 
As a Christian sir, how, can you make such accusation?  I am a 60 yr. old, white female, mother of two grown young men, white collar, college educated and I am a Christian and I sir , am “insulted” by your comment, and I demand an apology, not for myself, but for Dr. Ron Paul.  

He is one of the MOST honest individuals you would ever want to meet and he DOES not deserve this nasty remark.  If you don’t like the result of your straw poll, then, I am sorry, but Mr. Perkins, “we the people” are waking up and we know what we want….and it isn’t a “theocracy”….we want our REPUBLIC back with folks that will obey the constitution. 

By the way….if I had been able to travel to DC for your event….I would also have had to leave after hearing Dr. Paul inorder to get back to NC to attend to other matters.  Would that have been against some kind of regulation or requirement in your voting?  What if I had done that  for Perry, Cain, etc.

Sir, …your behavior is beyond words…..
and I….  I am beyond disappointed.

Sincerely saddened,
Ron Paul Supporter

I have read lots of books on Mormonism… it is…
