The Revolution Will NOT Be Hannitized: Ron Paul Rocks The House At CPAC (Complete Speech)

"The brushfires of freedom are burning..."

Video - Ron Paul at CPAC 2011 - Feb. 11, 2011

Paul was the landslide straw poll winner at CPAC 2010 - check out this clip of the announcement last year - and based on crowd response all week, we anticipate another big win Sunday.  C'mon, whom would you choose among Sarah Pailn, Newt Gingrich, Donald Trump, and Dr. Ron Paul?  It's really not a fair fight.  And we almost forgot about TARP lover Mitt Romney and his insensitivity to 80-pound medical patients in wheelchairs.  Paul destroyed Romney in last year's straw poll.

Ron Paul 2012!

This is the complete speech from earlier today.  If you are not a fan, give this a listen anyway for just a couple minutes, and see if he doesn't strike a chord.

• "They always name bills the opposite of what they are.  The Patriot Act is about the destruction of the 4th Ammendment!"

And the crowd goes wild.

The conservative group Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) announced Saturday that Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) would be expelled from the group's National Advisory Board because of his "delusional and disturbing alliance with the fringe Anti-War movement."

"It is a sad day in American history when a one-time conservative-libertarian stalwart has fallen more out of touch with America’s needs for national security than the current feeble and appeasing administration," YAF’s Senior National Director Jordan Marks said in a statement.

"Rep. Paul's refusal to support our nation's military and national security interests border on treason, aside from his failure to uphold his oath to the United States Constitution and defend our country and citizens against all enemies, foreign and domestic," Marks continued.

Just pokin around bit about YAF. Seems they have quite strong Jewish affiliations. So somebody more concerned with defense of the US rather than offence on behalf of a foreign national's interest would be denigrated as they have Ron Paul.

[snip]

When asked if they would rather vote for former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney or Obama, 48 percent of those surveyed said they would vote for Obama while 41 percent said they would vote for Romney.

Similarly, if Obama was running against former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, 49 percent of those surveyed said they would vote for Obama while 41 percent said they would vote for Huckabee.

Other potential Republican candidates fared even worse. Fifty-six percent said they would vote for Obama if he was running against former Alaska governor Sarah Palin and 55 percent said they would vote for Obama if he was running against former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.
