Ron Paul Has Already Won

What happens if Ron Paul wins Iowa? ... Paul seems to have a natural ceiling among GOP voters: A recent Washington Post/ABC News poll found that nearly half of Republican voters feel Paul's foreign policy views are a major reason not to vote for him. Indeed, the primary reason Paul has an opening to win in Iowa is that no consensus candidate has emerged among social conservatives, which dominate the GOP electorate here – a situation that allows Paul to potentially win with less than 30 percent of the vote. Still, a Paul win in Iowa would have significant ramifications. It would go a long way toward pushing his Libertarian views, long dismissed as outside of Republican mainstream, to the center of the conversation. The resultant media coverage would allow Paul to further spread his message – and potentially win a host of new supporters. And if Paul can do well in New Hampshire on January 10, where he is currently tied for second place with Gingrich, Paul could even move to shared front-runner status with Romney, who is now ahead by more than 20 points in New Hampshire. – CBSNews

Dominant Social Theme: Paul is a crank and will never light up the sky.

Free-Market Analysis: The Internet Reformation is a process not an episode. US GOP Presidential candidate Ron Paul shows us the accuracy of this statement. Ron Paul and his libertarian allies are winning the battle for the hearts and minds of Americans by the millions. In fact, they have already won. More on this below.

It is not too much of an exaggeration to say that a substantial minority, if not a majority, of Republicans and Democrats are really libertarians of some sort. This gives Ron Paul a natural constituency that is far larger than the mainstream media admits.

There is apparently only one struggle in the world – and in the US. That is the seeming struggle between a handful of ancient, elite families who control hundreds of trillions via central banks around the world and want to move to world government (dominated by them) and the rest of us.

I for one would love to see Ron Paul win Iowa. The winner here has always evaporated off the horizon shortly afterward, so if he wins we don't have to listen to his nonsense any more.

Ron Paul 2012! Let's break that trend in Iowa.

We are in drastic times and need some radical changes.

Every day you hear more of the other canidates using the Ron Paul policies in their own campaigns. Like cutting some federal government departments. Cut back and/or end foreign aid. Slash welfare.

You want to put Americans back to work? The more I hear that illegals are here to do work Americans won't do is hog wash & BS!

You take away their welfare checks and they will get out in the fields picking vegetables or picking crabs is good start to getting Americans back to work.

I know even at my age if it meant losing my home I'd shovel horse manure and pick cotton if it meant staying afloat.

I don't have any problem with Mexicans, it's the illegal part that gets my goat. End welfare as we know it now, and some of those problems will take care of themselves.
