Here's some GOOD RP poll numbers....

[Nefertiti]

Now, he isn't winning yet, but considering lack of name recognition compared to the Dems, these numbers are fantastic:

yes sadly, some of our fellow supporters are 9/11 truthers and nothing and noone will convince them other wise. Some of our fellow supporters are white supremacists, too.

what can we do about this?

really, just stress and re-stress that we need to act as a cohesive group or RP won't win. There's not much else

Yeah, those damn people with unpopular convictions, why can't they learn to just have mainstream opinions like everyone else? Let's marginalize and insult them like the media does to Ron Paul, that'll win people over. :rolleyes:

We need every vote we can get. I'm not kicking anyone to the curb because they believe in their own theory.

sorry that comment was meant on another thread

[Nefertiti]

You had me scratching my head there for a bit Akus!

I think those are great numbers. And the challenge is to get that reportedly 40 some percent of the people to know what to think of him.

Just think. After the poll some people might have gotten online to find out who this Ron Paul dude is that I was asked about :D

1. We can restate Ron Paul's position: The U.S. government did not cover up a 9-11 conspiracy, they covered up their INCOMPETENCE and that does need to be looked at again (which should placate anyone, 9-11 truther or not).

2. Racism is a form of collectivism, individual liberty means an end to racism. White Supremicists might support freedom of speach, but the ramifications of liberty would do nothing more than destroy what they want to work for. No free man may cause harm to another free man, or a free man's property.

And that's all ok.

This is great news that they're even including Paul in those matchups.

It's hilarious that some neocons are trying to say "See, Hillary would beat Ron Paul 49% to 34%, so we can't run Ron Paul!"

But of course, people are now going to say "Who is Ron Paul?" and go off to learn about him. And then the 34% will begin to rise. :D :D

This is truly awesome. The 49-34 is AWESOME at this point. It's not that much and we're still just breaking out.

I think the fact that Ron Paul has supporters ranging from Antiwar.com to StormFront just shows that his message of Freedom and restoring the nation to it's constitutional roots has a very wide base of support.

I'm sure there are personal viewpoints of just about everyone on this forum that we could disagree on and bicker about for hours on end, but that isn't why were here.

We are here to ensure that Ron Paul is the next President of these United States.

Trying to imagine a Fred/Paul ticket... LOL :)

Was this poll initiated, paid for, and sponsored by a Ron Paul supporting organization (of course Rassmussen conducted the poll)? Or did Rassmussen initiate this poll on their without a sponsor and on their own nickel?

[V-rod]

I would vote for that. Just for the fact that Fred lives a very unhealthy lifestyle for his age ;)
