		<description>&lt;strong&gt;The Only &#039;Real&#039; Republican&lt;/strong&gt; Traditional Republicans should all support Ron Paul. Real Republicans don&#039;t support a theocracy, a paranoid police state, a global empire, or endless pointless wars. Give us a real Republican and bring back our Constitution!</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Those who vote decide nothing&lt;/strong&gt; I hope I am wrong and that the votes count.&#160; However, Ron Paul and his supporters are doing nothing to ensure that his votes are counted. I believe that officially Ron Paul will come in 5th with 4 or 5 percent of the vote. Diebold voting machines will make certain of that.&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;The American public has waited too long. The bankers and the CFR have total control. They own almost every elected official and all the Federal judges. We the People Foundation has a lawsuit in all fifty states to have paper ballots to be counted at each voting place. Of course it is going nowhere because the powers own the judge.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;After the vote many Ron Paul supporters will protest, but there will be a media blackout and the media will televise entertainment programs to keep the public occupied until it is forgotten.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;The race for third&lt;/strong&gt; Who would have thought going into this that the GOP race would be such a roller-coaster ride?&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;I think you&#039;re mostly right with this one. The Huck-o-matic seems to have locked it up for first I think. Romney seems to be making a solid push (calls, ads, press) that&#039;ll keep him buoyed at second.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;The real contest seems to be for third. I think it all depends on how the Repubs feel about what&#039;s going on in Pakistan. If they think it shows our failure as a world policeman and a need for new ideas...they may turn to Paul and give him that strong third or even second. If they think that the times demand an &quot;experienced hand&quot; they may shift to the old warhorse McCain and boost him to second or third and leave Paul at fourth. I could see it going either way.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;I think Freddie will drop out after Iowa or at least after NH and start gunning for the Veep slot.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;A question to anyone who knows the Rep. caucus process: I imagine Tancredo will not be on the secret ballot used on caucus night...but do they allow write in&#039;s? Could he still draw some marginal amount of votes?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Ron Paul 3rd in Iowa, WOW!!!!&lt;/strong&gt; Ron Paul is showing a 3rd place in Iowa, that is awesome. So why is it that Foxnews is excluding Ron Paul from the New Hampshire Republican debate on January 6th?&#160; What are they afraid of?&#160; I really wanted to see Ron Paul and McCain debate medicinal Marajuana for cancer patients and such. I believe that is what this debate is about, not sure though.&#160; I hope the Ron Paul supporters will take the time to write Foxnews and let them know what they are doing is wrong, unAmerican, and lacks any type of common sense regarding this election process.</description>
