GOP doing everything to stop Ron Paul's rise

[boutons_deux]

oh btw, he could easily defeat Obama. He'd automatically get all the Obama haters which are close to 50% then, he'd snatch most of the ndependents

Poll: Americans Trust Obama Much More than the GOP


Do you have more confidence in President Obama or in the Republicans in Congress to deal with the major issues facing the country today?

Obama: 50
Republicans: 31

Back in March, there was a 44-39 split—a net 14 point swing in President Obama's direction. It's reflected in his approval rating compared to that of Congress:

Do you approve or disapprove of the way Barack Obama is handling his job as president?

Approve: 49
Disapprove: 48

Do you approve or disapprove of the way Congress is handling its job?

Approve: 16
Disapprove: 83

Jeb Bush has all of a sudden emerged with an article he wrote that is being touted as "campaign-like" even though he has previously said many times that he would not run in 2012. Of course, the establishment did not expect Ron Paul to go mainstream or to be broadening his base so fast.

If Jeb Bush gets into the race, this will end-up turning into a 2-man contest between Paul and Bush. The rest of the candidates do not have enough rock solid support to survive an entrance of Jeb Bush as many of their supporters would likely leap over in his direction.

I think all these cannon fodder candidates "bachman, cain, perry, gingrich, they are just in the race to throw the scent off the real tea party, anti-lobby guy....Ron Paul.

Then why does everybody say that corporations and job makers don't like Obama? Is Wall Street separate from that group? Hmmmmmmmmm

They don't like Ron Paul even more.

Foreign policy view doesn't identify with the vast majority of Republicans, and I would argue the majority of the American people. Instability in the Middle East and Asia can't be ignored.

I believe it absolutely can be ignored.

Why Do GOP Bosses Fear Ron Paul?

DUBUQUE: Ron Paul represents the ideology that Republican insiders most fear: conservatism.

Not the corrupt, inside-the-beltway construct that goes by that name, but actual conservatism.

And if he wins the Iowa Republican Caucus vote on January 3 -- a real, though far from certain, prospect -- the party bosses will have to do everything in their power to prevent Paul from reasserting the values of the "old-right" Republicans who once stood, steadily and without apology, in opposition to wars of whim and assaults on individual liberty.

Make no mistake, the party bosses are horrified at the notion that a genuine conservative might grab the Iowa headlines from the false prophets. Already, they are claiming a Paul win won't mean anything. If Paul prevails, says Iowa Governor Terry Branstad, “People are going to look at who comes in second and who comes in third. If [Mitt] Romney comes in a strong second, it definitely helps him going into New Hampshire and the other states.”

RP getting the nomination is as unimaginable as him being President.

If such a nightmare were to become reality, all you Paul suckers would find out that nothing he campaigned on would become legislation because he won't have enough Congresscritters behind him.

So he's just like Obama without the warmongering.
