Article Font Size
Newsmaxs Internet primary poll of the Republican race for president is released today with more than 400,000 respondents to our non-scientific survey.
With 23% of the vote, Congressman Ron Paul wins our online survey. Paul has the most aggressive internet presence of any Republican candidate and has already won several online polls, not to mention raising $20 million last quarter, mostly online.
Pulling solid numbers behind Paul were Fred Thompson with 19% of the vote, and Mike Huckabee, a late rising star, with 16%.
Newsmax poll respondents believe Rudy Giuliani with 28% of the vote has the best chance of defeating Hillary Clinton.
The Newsmax poll shows surprisingly little support for former front-runner John McCain.
Among the Republicans listed in the poll results, Newt Gingrich has not announced that he will seek the nomination, and Tom Tancredo and Sam Brownback have dropped out of the race.
Newsmax will provide the results of this poll to major media and share them with radio talk show hosts across the country.
Newsmax reports have been cited by national major media, including Fox News, CNN and MSNBC.

Seriously tho, somebody needs to tell the Paulites that voting on the internet doesn't count in the real world. They need to hit the streets in numbers.
Speaking of hitting the streets. We had almost a hundred people downtown De Land FL in the freezing and breezing weather today waving Ron Paul signs and getting honked at. Was good to see a lot of youngsters out there!

And back in reality, RP gets 10% (with 93% of the precincts reporting) of the vote, tying with John McCain for 6th place.
Where are you checking the results? I've been checking CNN (http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/primaries/results/state/#IA) and with 86% reporting McCain is 4th with 13% and Paul is 5th with 10%. If you've got a source that updates faster I'd appreciate a link.

It appears that they're displaying results much like one would during a general election and not for a caucus. That's an easy enough mistake.

Come on man, you at least have to let the topic get close to the bottom of the page before you answer your own OP.

I prefer to post articles and then post my own thoughts, so that others can just see the article without being influenced by my thoughts.
It is refreshing to see the younger generation actually taking part in this.

This is good news for the GOP. Hopefully freedom will change them into what they were before they were hijacked by the Religious right.
You say that like it's a good thing.

(Oh, yeah, also? There were a bunch of Paulians in Manchester chanting "9/11 was an inside job!" over and over...sane people? I think not!)

Ron Paul can easily be elected President of the internet

I like Ron Paul simply because he cares about the country. Unlike the others, his supporters actually do something and act on their beliefs.
What?
Here, they march up and down the street ruining a Holiday Walk by bellowing about 9/11 and scaring children. They also get themselves arrested for not having registration stickers on their cars, and then hassle the police about being arrested.
Elsewhere, they get themselves arrested for trying to pass off funny money as US legal tender.
If they keep it up, they'll all be in jail for asinine stunts, and it'll be a lot quieter here. Seriously, they're like freaking political Hare Krishnas, the ones here.

I'll be "throwing away" my vote on the guy I agree with most on the issues (so I'm insane and don't count), but that's got to be the Ron Paul-related quote of the year. Hilarious

Governments have lied to the people many times in our history so the idea that 9/11 was an inside job really is not as implausable as you suggest. Hitler did it, the US has lied in the past, the Russian government did it, the Chinese do it, and many dictators lie to their people.

No one here is going to dispute that govts sometimes lie to their own people. But you're still pretty far from demonstrating that 9-11 was an inside job. If you wish to, start a new thread. Or don't. We've discussed it many times already. Quote
The idea that 9/11 is an inside job is a lot more believable than many other commonly held beliefs that people cling to. Need we look any further than Christianity.
Yes, we'd have to look a whole lot further. If you weren't so ignorant of the subject, you would know that. Scientology? Sorry, no comparison there.

I dont understand how Scientology is different than Christianity. But that is a discussion for another thread.

Um. Because one is a two thousand year old religion based on religious precepts that predated that, even...and the other was started as a bet by a 20th century science fiction writer who probably never thought people would take it seriously?
