Conspiracy Theory: Iowa Straw Poll Stolen From Ron Paul

I have it from a very good source that virtually all the people involved in Ron's Iowa campaign, and who had worked for other candidates in previous straw polls, believe that Ron actually won, but the GOP establishment fixed the results to give it to the warmonger Bachmann. To the extent the media suspected this, they cheered.
I'll tell you the strangest thing I noticed about the pool. I watched the poll results announce live on CNN. This is the way it went down. A GOP official steps onto the podium and says:
Michelle Bachmann has won the Iowa straw poll.
No mention of how many votes she received, no mention of Ron Paul coming in second, or how the other candidates performed. Just, "Michelle Bachmann has won the Iowa straw poll."

When the official was then interviewed by CNN, the CNN anchor called him a "man of few words" and referenced his limited remarks at the podium They then went on to talk about Bachmann and Rick Perry.

Oh God, help us. First we have the so called black man as president. Now we have a woman as a candidate? The final slap in the face before this country falls and dies into the dust.

Rigged? It would not surprise me one iota.

Of course there is a conspiracy. "They" want Ron Paul gone because he knows the truth about Obama's birth, about the scheduled demolitions and explosions of the WTC in NY on 9-11, he helped Clinton kill that one group of people, he knows the truth about who shot Kennedy, and why his son's plane crashed and the bodies were "buried at sea" (sound familar Osama?) he was DB Cooper, he was deepthroat, he put the "bop" in the "bop-shoo-bop-shoop-bop."

Ron Paul is THE KEY. "They" need him stopped. Isn't this obvious by now?

10:57, I suspect you made that "black man and now a woman" comment to see what kind of reaction you could get, and you'll probably get plenty. So why not a woman? She surely couldn't do worse than what we have now (and, no, not because he's black; it's because he's simply inept). I'm a white male Republican who could certainly support Michelle Bachmann (I favor Romney right now). In fact, I could support Hillary Clinton. I never thought I'd say that, but she has handled the Sec'y of State position very well.
