Since (see other thread) Michelle Bachmann bought all of here votes in the poll (and more - she didn't even get a vote for every ticket she bought) and only just squeaked past Ron Paul, if we cancel out the votes she paidd for then Ron Paul becomes the clear leader of the poll - and the people that go to polls to vote for him really really believe in him.

And yet, once again, this result - Ron Paul's outstanding finish, is under reported.

He has massive solid base support but the news never allows him to be presented as a serious contender so he is never allowed to be a serious contender - but jokes like Bachmann and Palin get pushed out in from by media by giving them far more attention than they deserve. The media plays a big part in the elites game of picking our candidates for us - and they like to pick ditzy easily led homey characters with no political understanding or policies.

Well, Obama's already bought and paid for.
Ron Paul apparently isn't.

I imagine the thinking probably includes at least a small factor of, "even this country isn't stupid enough to elect a Palin or a Bachmann. Put one of those two freaks up and our puppet wins another four years by default."
 
people were stupid enough to vote for bush....i have no confidence in americans

The Iowa Straw Poll has always been one of vote buying. Where the rest of the nation turns a blind eye to the practice and pretends it means something which it doesn't.

I'm not suprised about anything nowadays. Though sadly is the support for Texas Gov. Rick Perry. Who claims to hate government handouts "with strings attached". Yet all the money the State of Texas gives local gov comes with strings attached. And he clearly doesn't hate about $17Billion of Federal stimulus which he ensured his state took and spent. He can't balance a budget he needs Daddy Fed to bail him out.
 
Jon Stewart ridicules the media's deliberate aversion to covering Ron Paul. Think there's anything but a corporate controlled political system? Even you guys who don't like Jon Stewart normally but like the Tea Party or support Ron Paul should watch too. He is right on the money with this.

"Dear Great Britain, The Daily Show is not available......"
 
Rasmussen poll puts Ron Paul at 38% to Obama's 39% in a hypothetical 2012 election.

He polls at 75% among those who identify themselves as Tea Party (and yet they keep throwing Palin at the Tea Partiers - go figure).

The liberal media is doing what it can to keep the Tea Party alive by paying it attention, but they are using it to push candidates that they can live with.

They have to, Elites don't like it as its counter to their quest for global control. They need a huge US government to go bankrupt, destroy the USD for them to step into chaos and proclaim they have the solution to our economic hell. And they are using our system (and capital) against us to achieve this. Elites can not control the masses, but they know government can if it's large enough. Therefore it's in the elite's best interest to support Progressives and their support systems (ABC/NBC/CBS/PBS/CNN/MSNBC/#?) which do the elite's bidding for that support. How often has the Tea Party been demonized (by Vice President Joe Bidden no less) as "terrorist" and as "racist" mean while, DHS releases "See something, say something" videos with white guys as the terrorist. Funny how that happened, huh?

No they don't. The elites already have control but they are bad drivers. :)
Actually the elites, like most collections of people, are not homogeneous. There is plenty of infighting. When elephants fight, the mice get hurt. The elites don't worry too much about the masses (except violent revolution but they have security set up to discourage than and they have other invisible chains like pitting groups against each other). They have the TV, they don't have the internet but they are getting it, one kiddie porn case at a time.

The elites do not need the US government to go bankrupt (or at least a lot of them don't) because they own the government and it's doing what they tell it. On the other hand, they don't need it making rules about how to do business. They would be able to save a lot on lobbyists if they could just do what they want without having to worry that someone might legislate against it. They still like having a government though because any time they can get the little people to pay for their own oppression that's good. It's a balancing act. The government is a big slush fund that you can draw on but sometimes you get elected reps who think they are there for the people and that can make things awkward.

The failure of the USD won't be anything unusual in the history of currencies. Yes, there are elite attacks on the currency but those aren't home team elites. Other people have elites too and the elites only work together when they aren't working against each other which is much more of the time.
