Ron Paul Finishes Third In Iowa

[Coco]

You should be a politican Klunder. You could be Senator K. Bunker of Kentucky.

Sure, I can think of a few birds around here who'd perch on Mrs. Bunker.

No, not his mother.

Why even bother with the debates and the polls and the soundbytes? We all know it's a load of shit. The only thing that matters is track record in the past.

Because for some reason, someone thinks spending months in Iowa and New Hampshire is a good idea.

As for the track record, for the life of me I don't get the hatred of changing your mind on something. Yes, Heaven forbid the circumstances changed on something and my point of view has shifted. I guess I'll just need to stick with the same thing for the rest of time until I die, because I don't want to EVER change my ideas.

 

[DemonToSome]

You forgot mentioning Obama and Socialism every 5 words.

Yeah but at least that's feasible. Let's be honest....Obama is doing a horrible job as POTUS.

Don't forget...I'm a die hard Republican

Yep, which is further proof you're an idiot.

Hey man, not all Republicans are like George Bush lol

I don't think it's impossible that someone might change their mind, nor do I think it's a bad thing that they might do so. The trouble is when they're clearly doing it for political advantage, not for legitimate reasons. And especially when they start contradicting themselves on the campaign trail.

What I mean about track record is this - actions speak louder than words. No matter what a candidate tells you he's going to do, I play it conservatively - if you haven't shown some track record of doing it in the past, I don't buy it. Which is why I don't really care what any candidate, Democratic or Republican, promises or says on the campaign trail. The safest expectation is to see what you did in the past, and apply it to the next four years.

I know. Some are even dumber.

That makes perfect sense. Still gets annoying though.

There's a chick from Alaska you may not have heard of. Name is Palin. She actually is.

Well played sir

 

[klunderbunker]

Perry, go back to Texas.

 

[klunderbunker]

Can I get a list of these values that America is based on? I've heard about them every five minutes from every GOP person and I've never heard what they actually are.

I seriously think that's a religious thing.

Wrong. You were duped into believing that Sarah Palin was actually human. My little lap dog has more intelligence.

 

[klunderbunker]

97% in.

Romney: 29173 Santorum: 29210

That's a 37 vote difference.

[Remy LaCroix]

Ugh, theocons.

 

[klunderbunker]

Both candidates have over 29,600 votes in. The margin at this point: FIVE VOTES.

 

[One Punch Doug Crashin]

I've been reading some of the alternative news sites and they are saying that the vote was fixed. The GOP really doesn't want Ron Paul to win apparently.

 

[Harthan]

That's shocking. Santorum really got up there quick. Not long ago he was completely off the radar.

 

[klunderbunker]

Romney officially wins by eight total votes. I think calling it a tie is certainly acceptable, especially since there are no recounts allowed in Iowa.

 

[Bernkastel]

Damn. I hope Romney doesn't win the nomination, or it'll be smooth sailing for Obama again.

 

[One Punch Doug Crashin]

Although I find it highly suspect that Santorum, a relative unknown at this point surged and wins a primary in under 2 weeks.
