Ron Paul Dominates Patch Polls

GOP candidate's supporters came out in force to vote.

 

If there's one thing that our week-long Patch Polls proved, it's that Ron Paul supporters know how to take over a poll.

Over the past week, we asked Patch readers which GOP candidate they thought was the strongest on five key issues: the economy, national security, immigration, health care and education.

Paul finished first by a wide margin in all five daily polls, followed most closely by Mitt Romney and Jon Huntsman.

On Monday, we asked about the economy. Of the 1,113 people who voted, 70 percent chose Paul, 18 percent Romney, 6 percent Huntsman, and 1 percent each for Newt Gingrich and Rick Perry.

Tuesday's question was national security. Out of 514 votes, Paul received 83 percent, Huntsman 5 percent, and Gingrich and Romney 2 percent apiece. Michele Bachmann, Rick Santorum, Perry and other received 1 percent each.

On immigration, 64 people voted – 40 percent for Paul, 25 percent for Romney, 10 percent for Perry, 7 percent for Bachmann, 6 percent for other, 4 percent for Gingrich, 3 percent for Santorum, and 1 percent for Huntsman.

Sixty-five people voted in our health care poll. Of those, 65 percent chose Paul, 12 percent Romney, 10 percent other, 4 percent apiece for Gingrich and Huntsman, 3 percent Perry, and 1 percent each for Bachmann and Santorum.

On our final question, education, 86 votes were cast. Forty-five percent chose Paul, 30 percent Huntsman, 9 percent other, 4 percent each for Romney and Gingrich, 3 percent Perry, and 1 percent Bachmann.

Many of the other votes were for Buddy Roemer, whose name was not included in our polls.

These are two great videos. Let's send this viral in New Hampshire.

Our economy and civil liberties are being destroyed by our government. NDAA, Patriot Act and soon SOPA. Support Ron Paul to reverse government overreach and not following the constitution by our politicans.

We've been GROUPED all our lives by MSM and Big Government. And if we discuss and provide examples ofthe Grouping that's been inflicted on all Americans, we are called racists. First they Grouped Us, then they Divided Us. Now they Control Us.

Ron Paul 2012! End the Grouping. Begin the Uniting. Take back Control!

Ron Paul is the only person smart enough and brave enough, and not run by world powers, and that can potentially block the overthrow of the American Republic in progress now. Look at what has been done to our Constitution by executive orders alone. Look at the new laws signed in just under the wire this day. Some of these are dangerous. We are losing our freedom, and fast. The Money Trust, the Money Changers and their representatives and assigns including the large families and interests, corporate or otherwise as these significant items are legally hidden to keep from our knowledge, are running the camp and with device, through most of the Politicians.

Ron Paul has got Iowa and if Santorum gets more than 20%, there's something really wrong with Iowans.

Media was given a freebie in some protection from ownership disclosure.....but there is LOTS out there available. Fox has 100 Clear Channel Communications, Inc. inputs for example-which is owned by Bain Capitol- which is Romney's old company. Use of the media for propoganda is the #1 way to influence.

All I'm saying is rather than just saying the 'MSM' is 'evil' do some research. Your local outlets all the way to the nationals. Some of you actually have access to info sources for determining how the news is controlled and by whom. THAT is what needs to be put mainstream... not just, 'MSM', is evil.

Counter intelligence relies on EXPOSURE of the source, not just accusations. Bain Capitol controls 56 billion is assets. How much did Romney's daddy want Mitt to be president? Romney met with (Dec 14)
the Bankers-Primary Dealers for the Federal Reserve in New York. Your country is being given a President that is a private equity front man for the Fed reserve and Wall Street. The Dirivtives will continue to FLOW!!

Good points Mike. One of the many omissions in most stories is always "cui bono"? It took three years to even get a partial accounting of who profited from the Federal Reserve bailouts in 2008.
