Rasmussen poll: Ron Paul trails Obama by 4 percent, trails Romney | The State Column

Not electable? Think again!

Great news for those who support liberty!

Good news indeed, thanks for sharing.

Despite this poll I suspect we can continue to watch the MSM, FOX included, ignore Dr. Paul's ranking in this poll and refuse to mention his name altogether.

Sadly enough to say, Ron will NEVER get the Rep. nomination..... he CAN'T be bought by the powers that be ! He is not capable of following the orders therefore will never obtain nomination to one of the only 2 parties the people seem to think exists and vote for.......

Let's suppose for a minute that Ron Paul actually won a national elections, what if anything do you think he would be able to accomplish with a Democratic/Republican congress? What major piece of legislation has Ron Paul been able to a pass during his tenure in Congress?

One can hope....and I am hoping.
Stranger things have happened. Maybe the silent majority is growing !

Maybe we need to start electing leaders who actually do less and spend less of our money than those who do more and spend more. Just a thought.

Sometimes it is better to keep legislation from being passed then to pass more. Less government rather than more governement. The veto pen in the right hand is a powerful thing. A Commander-in-Chief (who actually served in the military oversead during wartime) who will bring our troops home from Congressionally undeclared wars with undeclared missions. A POTUS who will stand by the US Constitution rather than to actively undermine it.

One has to start somewhere. Some good fresh blood got into Congress and that's a start. But don't just throw the towel in before the race starts.

The bankers, the military and "the establishment" will make it absolutely sure Paul doesn't win in 2012. Of course, the SCOTUS decision makes it easier to ensure Paul doesn't win.

Exactly! I think people are starting to recognize this. Less is More when it comes to Federal Government Politics. Less Legislation Passed = More Money staying in our pockets and More Freedom for all of us.


Paul's job will be to undo rather than to do!
