If Ron Paul wins Iowa--will Iowa lose it's credibility and it's 1st place status?

[ScienceRocks]

I like Ron Paul. The same way one likes a dotty old uncle. Would never vote for him to be President or any other position of authority. And am sure that a majority of American Citizens feel the same way.

Yeah, like the people that we handed the authority to have done anything besides screw up and stab this nation in the back. Some times the old uncle is right!

Massive debt
Nation building costing us trillions of dollars
more and more power within the central government
for nothing!

I've read this elsewhere. It's nothing more than media driven fear mongering.

No one expected Ron Paul to have more than a token presence. Now that no one can deny his top tier status..... I smell establishment fear.

Tell you what. Have the GOP put up someone who

• has enough government experience to know his or her way around.
• has served in uniform for at least one enlistment.
• is willing to actually reduce the amount of real dollars spent by the government as opposed to lowering the projected increase.
• can actually read and apply the constitution in a consistent manner.
• hasn't been openly dishonest in his personal or professional life.
• hasn't held as many opinions on one topic as there are focus groups.

That'll do for a start. That person I am willing to discuss voting FOR.

Bueller,

Bueller.

I'm considering registering as a Republican so that I can cast my GOP vote for Ron Paul.

ANYBODY who so terrifies the mainline GOP leadership can't be all bad!

He terrifies the mainstream GOP because of all the spending cuts and gov't cuts he advocates for, it angers their true liberal roots.

Ron Paul is still leading in Iowa--but some of the talking heads are stating that if he actually comes in 1st place in Iowa--Iowa will lose it's credibility--and there will be others calling for Iowa to to lose their 1st place status in the primaries-- because of it.

Your opinions on this issue?

I agree with the critics.

If Ron Paul wins Iowa , it should be forced out of the union and Iowans must be declared enemy non combatants and sent to Gitmo.

We will never become a socialist republic if we let dumb asses interfere in our effort.

As always, Heil Hitler.

Exactly, and if he wins Ron Paul should admit he's destroying the system and stand aside and let the true conservatives run the show.

True conservatives like Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich. Only they can be trusted to scale back big government.

Yes, indeed - he should stand aside.

The deficit is only 15 TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTrillion dollars, not a quadrillion!!!!

Sometimes a party's Iowa winner goes on to become its presidential nominee and sometimes they don't. And this year if Paul wins it'll be one or the other, so, no, it won't affect Iowa's "credibility" whatsoever. And the only thing to affect its 1st place status would be some other state jumping the line, so to speak.

 

[WatertheTree]

I think like in the general election the nominees should be decided on the same day. It seems completely backwards to me for a handful of states to hold so much power.

What would you suggest? The entire nation voting in one day? What a way to assure complete media control over who you vote for.

Your fucking stupid and you make yourself look like a dumbfuck with a daily anti ron paul thread. Grow up old man.

 

[zzzz]

How many times did the winner of Iowa lose the nomination? In 1988 both party nominees lost Iowa! They didn't even come in second.

 

[Avorysuds]

Only Paul haters and Neocons would trash the voters if Paul won...

Here is the best part, when Fox news, the Media and Neocons do that, you just fucked yourselves for many years to come. You think entire states like being written off just because a few of you don’t like who they voted for? Good luck getting them to support you in the future, in fact watch the pattern spread.

 

[Avorysuds]

My 6th sense tells me its gonna be Romney/Paul/Gingrich/Perry, but all within 2% of one another. And there doesn't seem to be any massive blizzards coming in the direction of Iowa.

My Prediction is Paul wins with 28-30% of the vote. Just my opinion, but that's if things don't change, a lot can happen in a week.

 

[Avorysuds]

Iowa shouldn't allow Registered Democrats to vote in a Republican Primary. I'ts pointless. Let's just hope and pray anyone but Paul wins. If Romney wins, we know it's gonna be 2 and 0 come New Hampshire.

They let registered DEMOCRATS vote in REPUBLICAN primaries. You're joking right?-- That's like letting the fox guard the chicken shack.

I believe only indys can change to Republicans the day of the vote... Not Democrats.

IF people did this is masses for Newt you would claim it's because Newt is so awesome, he can grow the Republican party... But because that person is Ron Paul you hate it.

You're a Newtie-bot lolz.

Because the primaries or caucasus aren't held on the same day paulbots are able to flood the voting pool to force him to the top. In a SuperTuesday election where they can't do that, Paul flutters on dow to his normal 6-8%.

Question, have you ever claimed Paul could never win a single Primary? Because if you have, and Paul wins Iowa, why would I ever listen to you?

See, as a Paul supporter I have the ability to step back and look at everything without bias, you do not as you are a Paul hater. You still try and claim Paul has few supporters when that is clearly not the case.

Try looking at things realistically, not how you want them to be. I came into this thinking Paul stood no chance but I’m not here to vote for a lesser of 2 evils so I stayed supportive of who I liked best. Now I see Paul has a real shot, a better shot than anyone else at this point other than Mitt… Do I claim Paul will win Iowa when he has not? Do I claim Paul will win the nomination when he has not?

Newt claimed he will win Iowa, Newt claimed he will be the nominee… Now in 5 days if Newt does not win Iowa and maybe places 4th… Do you still take Newts word for it?

Also to note, Newts campaign is in debt already... Deficit spending lolz... Paul has raised around 17-20 million.

why is it when a typical dumbass demorat has a history of flopping it's no big deal, but when a Republican has a history on changing his view on current issues, it's the top story on NBC/CBS/NPR? does the left wing media not know that most of American hasn't forgotten the dozens of lies that came out of Obama since 2008?

Does it matter?

Why when Obama goes to a racist church for 20 years and also writes racist stuff in current books not a big deal but Paul has a Newsletter with a total of 4 bigoted quotes that is 22years old that he claims he did not write, yet that dominates the news?

It is what it is…

 

[Teals_Of_Wonder]

no, MSNBC never complained when Obama kept all "Post-Health Care" meetings secret. No C-SPAN? and who hasn't forgotten all of the bribery involved in acquiring votes? isn't that illegal? subject to jail time? it was allowed in Chicago Thug politics, right?

Oh I got it man, I know there is a huge bias. But what can you do other than vote for who you like rather than who they tell you is electable?
