SHOCKING SURVEILLANCE POLL - (The Ron Paul Movement Was Not Futile)

[AuH20]

These numbers are insane!!! Ron Paul. Nuff said. And Obama's gestapo tactics deserve an honorable mention. :)

Republicans. More specifically, non-tea-party Republicans tilt 41/43 towards thinking the feds haven’t done enough to protect the country; among tea partiers, the tilt is … 55/31 towards thinking they’ve gone too far in restricting civil liberties, a 35-point(!) swing since 2010. That’s what a battle for the soul of the party looks like — a double-digit spread among the centrist and conservative wings on a key point of national security.

They hate us for our freedoms.

I love this. But we will never win. We could bring all our troops home, have Judge Napolitano cloned to fill all the SCOTUS seats, put Congress on a bi-annual schedule, and we would still need to fight every single day against the urges that other people have to control people.

If and when the GOP wins back the White House and Congress, and the polls continue to show these type results, then and only then I will believe that people's hearts are changing. Until then, I think it could easily be a false positive.

Constant vigillance does not = failure.

Heck I'm in that boat. I didn't jump on the Ron Paul bandwagon until late 2011.

We may not be able to save the entire ship, but we may get enough people to the lifeboats. :)

i guess an apology from those who mocked and derided him for decades would be too much to ask for.

[RabbitMan]

One of the problems is people that associate themselves with the 'Tea Party' has gone down to about 8% of voters according to a Rasmussen Poll conducted this year. At the very least, 'membership' has dropped and the people still referring to themselves as Tea Party are mostly the hardcore, hence the rise since 2010 of this number you mentioned.

But they're keeping us, err I mean them safe!

It's not about him. He never wanted it to be about him. It's about saving liberty; saving our country, or what is possible at this point.

People are waking up.

Keep pushing the literature, the links, the youtube vids and wikipedia articles. You never know who's reading.

[RickyJ]

They hate us for our ability to think for ourselves, how dare us! :D

[compromise]

I think Rand Paul deserves credit for this even more than Ron Paul does.

it would be nice. if i was attacking someone for 30 years and then i realized they were right, i would at least say "oops my bad"

Rand's success, all of it, came because of Ron's success.

[otherone]

The "Tea Party" parrot Glen Beck etal.
When Beck returns to his usual neocon self in a couple years the "Tea Party" will poll as the centrists.

LoL - you like doing that, don't you?
