Obama vs Paul

[INFORMANT]

Pit maverick Republican Congressman Ron Paul against President Obama in a hypothetical 2012 election match-up, and the race is – virtually dead even.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of likely voters finds Obama with 42% support and Paul with 41% of the vote. Eleven percent (11%) prefer some other candidate, and six percent (6%) are undecided.



Ask the Political Class, though, and it’s a blowout. While 58% of Mainstream voters favor Paul, 95% of the Political Class vote for Obama.
But Republican voters also have decidedly mixed feelings about Paul, who has been an outspoken critic of the party establishment.
Obama earns 79% support from Democrats, but Paul gets just 66% of GOP votes. Voters not affiliated with either major party give Paul a 47% to 28% edge over the president.
Paul, an anti-big government libertarian who engenders unusually strong feelings among his supporters, was an unsuccessful candidate for the Republican presidential nomination in 2008. But he continues to have a solid following, especially in the growing Tea Party movement.
Twenty-four percent (24%) of voters now consider themselves a part of the Tea Party movement, an eight-point increase from a month ago Another 10% say they are not a part of the movement but have close friends or family members who are.

Racist sedition is at all time highs. The statiitics are startling to say the least. You just rest assured that Obama's supporters out number the fringe radicals by a wide margin.

People pay taxes in this country, that money should be spread around and shared with the lest fortunates. Everyone one should be financially equal, the unemployed should have has much money as the employed. The homeless should be given free houses so they are equal to those who own houses...ron paul is against all that, which means he is a triator and doesn't belong in our country.
