Ron Paul favored internet-wide :)

Who Would The World Elect

Came across this. So far Ron Paul has the lead. Stay tuned to see if Brunei and Fiji jump on the Libertarian bandwagon...

Overwhelming support for Kucinich in China! "Most very strange name eternally!" and "He short like me!" says exit polling.

Obama with lock in Africa! Go figure.

In a teary statement last Saturday, Clinton thanks her supporters: "New Caledonia is so wonderful; it was a close race. Remember: Chelsea in 2052!"

I have to confess two things about the US election.

1) I don't know who most of the candidates are. Not that it should bother them of course.
2) Every single time I hear the name Ron Paul I have to correct the immediate mental image of Ru Paul.

Jesus this is scary, Ron Paul is the world's favoured choice ?

Obama's top in Ireland, but that's understandable, we love the guy (why? I have no idea, we just do, that's Irish logic for ya ).

I think its scary that Ron Paul seems to be the choice! While I agree with some of his positions such as immigration I totally detest some of his other positions - for example he wants to abolish the CIA and the NSA in addition to the Federal Reserve. While I agree that the Patriot Act is going a bit too far we just cant poof go bye bye, Ron Paul (and a significant amount of Americans) seem to have forgotten that warm Tuesday morning in September 2001 and the fact that the world has changed since the 1990s.

Ron Paul also doesn't mind getting money from neo-Nazis.

Ron Paul sorry case

Ron Paul is right about civil liberties, big brother and the deficit but
Is he living on planet Venus ?
How come an elderly gentleman like him? At his age , seems to overlook the historical evidence that war, imperialism and colonialism has been around before America and that all that is not a response to America , it is not a reaction to America actions

So Islam conquest of North Africa, Palestine, Syria between 7-11 was a reaction or proactive. it was the second it was not a provoked act. Invasion of Spain , Sicily is was same. Muslim Turkish conquest of the remains of Byzantium, the Venetians territories of Crete, Cyprus , Balkans , etc the same
Soviet Union annexation of the Baltic Republics, Armenia , Ukraine, Caucasians Republic, reaction or agression , the second. China occupation and annexation of Tibet, reaction to Tibetan invasion , what a joke

and the list goes on.
Ron Paul is blind for reasons to unknown to the obvious evidence than
Ideologies and Islamic crusade to submit the planet to Allah is not new but Ron refused to confront the power of ideas, of beliefs, he erased more than 1000 years of recorded history and Islamic ideology and he take solace
they are doing so because we went there.
9/11 was long before America went to topple Hussein.
And about the first war gulf

Well Ron, supporters let me ask you
The rest of the planet have the right to intervene worldwide to push their interest regardless if they fail or not but
America is the only one hold to different standards

It is a shame. Because Ron makes sense about the debt, about the economy but he fail miserable in Fact Checking about why , how come it happens/
i wonder why ?

Exactly, I agree 100% with his domestic policy - especially on immigration but when it comes to foreign policy and defense he has me scratching my head, sometimes I dont think hes living in the same century as you and I.
