Mitt has jumped to 33% in Iowa, time to start bringing him down.

Don't worry about mitt,if the republican party doesn't nominate Ron Paul ,then the republican party will not win this next election.I assure you,I'm the swing voter.Only the republican party can save itself by nominating Ron Paul,if they choose not to,then the republicans will make their own bed and lose.100 percent guarantee.

The Republican party elite are more interested in maintaining the status quo than winning the election. They would rather loose to Hillary than see Ron win.

The latter question is VERY telling, since Iowa republicans are fairly conservative.

How can almost half be against the war, yet 80% want to vote for a war mongering neocon who does not want to pull out anytime soon? puzzling

My theory is that the respondents are influenced by the false notion of not wanting to "waste" their vote.

Or maybe poll is rigged? By just giving Dr Paul a Media black out, the MSM automatically rigs the polls... since they are about name recognition.:mad:

Iowa is full of farmers who get "welfare" in the form of farm subsidies. I wonder how Ron Paul could get the support needed to win Iowa in the primaries. Anyone have any thoughts on this? Seems like an almost impossible task to me. Seems even republicans in Iowa are really democrats when it comes to getting handouts on the backs of the taxpayers.

If it was possible to make it known to them that he's in favor of legalizing industrialized hemp maybe that would cause a few more farmers to show some support.

You know another place where there's a bunch of farmers getting farm subsidies? Texas House District 14.

I still don't see how we can be tied with Tancredo
