Since other members are kind enough to go out of their way to post threads concerning Ron Paul, I figure the least I can do is help out as well.

FRESNO, CALIFORNIA--- Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul won yesterday’s straw poll at the Salute to Republican Leaders fundraiser hosted by the Fresno County Republican Party. Congressman Paul won with 35 percent, beating Rudy Giuliani, who garnered 33 percent of the vote. This win attests to the strength of the Paul campaign in California.



There are over 140 registered Ron Paul volunteers in Fresno among thousands of registered volunteers throughout the Golden State. "Across California, the Paul campaign is energizing new voters to register Republican and is re-registering disaffected Republicans who are excited about Ron Paul’s candidacy and his support of traditional Republican principles," said Jeff Greenspan, Ron Paul’s regional coordinator.



In his address to the Fresno County Republican Party, Greenspan said, "We are pleased to support Republican party ideals in California, the Republican party of Fresno County, and the party of Ronald Reagan." The Ron Paul campaign was one of two major sponsors of the event.



Of 41 recent straw polls across the U.S., Ron Paul has won 21, with numerous second and third place finishes.

I heard he hates blacks

Hates Jews too.

Haha, yep, and eats children!!!

and picks his nose

With the bones of the children he ate.













But seriously, he did win a lot of straw polls. :/

So he lost 20? Oh dear oh dear.

Yeah, he's only won over half of them, lol.
Mmmmm, Hillary Duff.

Congratulations, Dr. Paul. It must feel good to be able to win a narrow victory at an event your people helped organize.

And it's okay. You can admit that you're getting this "news" from a website that supports the Paul candidacy (http://prisonplanet.com/articles/november2007/161107_b_fresno.htm). It's election season, Moe. Propaganda's fair game. Just let people know that's what it is.

Mm, you're absolutely right Tiassa. It's not like Paul's won other straw polls organized by local Republicans throughout the country. Or that the wins haven't shown up in both local news and one national blog.

Oh, wait...

That's not my point, Ashura. My point is that, with all those other successes, a better example (or source) wouldn't hurt.

I don't see what's so hard about including a link, since it is, in fact, a rule around here to help protect the site against plagiarism charges. When I do the search and come up with a propaganda link, the question of why we weren't supposed to know the source becomes valid.

Like I said: It's election season. Propaganda is fair game.

Just let us know, that's all. Don't try to pass it off as legitimate news. That only hurts the campaign.

Yep, your right and that's fair.
I should have posted a link.
And yes it is from RP's site:)

Here, just to get me into practice;)

Ron Paul's Support Grows On College Campuses

It's hard to imagine a more appropriate location for last weekend's Ron Paul rally than Independence Mall.

The National Constitution Center, the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall provided the inspiration for his political beliefs; the nearby U.S. Mint and Federal Reserve branch, he wants to do away with.

U.S. Representative Paul (R-Texas) is running for the Republican presidential nomination on a platform of restoring the country to the values of the Constitution and founding fathers. Specifically, he wants to pull troops out of Iraq, repeal the income tax, abolish the Federal Reserve and put America back on the gold standard.

It's those views that make him the Republican Party's most radical candidate; they are also beliefs that have made Paul an icon for many college-aged voters.
