He has a reasonable shot at taking Iowa and he's consistently polling top three nationally so yeah I'd say it is a fair assessment.

"Alternative medicine"? Is he another anti-vaccine nut job?

Are you another mandated medicine nut job?

Yeah, jut pass it all off, instead of accepting the truth. That is what you guys are good out ...

So his winning so many straw polls and being in the top tier means that he is unelectable right?

You know what will be the best thing about Ron Paul winning Iowa, it would prove that he is electable, and that scares the hell out of you people. Because once the fence sitters know he can be elected, they will be willing to make a bet on him as well.

The people know he is the best man for the Job, because they know the government IS all messed up, just look at the state of the union ... And they know that the establishment doesnt want Dr. Paul in there, because he would bring real change and that is bad for special interests.

The people just need to know who he is and what he represents, and that he has electability, and Ron Paul has that in spades(his voter base has been the most consistent throughout this race and is rising), even though the MSM and establishment shills pretend otherwise, to their own detriment ... Never underestimate your opponent, that is an unwritten law of competition.

"What our poll says is that 51% of Paul's supporters say they're definitely backing him," said James McCormick, professor and chair of political science at Iowa State and coordinator of the poll. "The percentage for the next two candidates is much weaker, at 16.1 for Mitt Romney and 15.2 for Newt Gingrich."From http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2011/12/21/poll-paul-in-top-spot-in-iowa-gop-battle/?hpt=hp_bn3

TY. I can deal with the anti-vax people, but this isn't the proper thread. Basically, they think it's a "conspiracy".

What you think we think, doesn't matter ... It is my body and my life, and you have no right to tell me how to live. Do i tell you that you have to go on a diet and stop getting fat? Or do i tell you you have to believe in God?

Yeah, you know exactly what i'm talking about.
