WASHINGTON -- Rep. Ron Paul won the most support for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination in an unofficial straw poll of conservative activists attending an annual conference.
A libertarian from Texas who has railed against spending and the Federal Reserve, Paul won the Saturday contest at the Conservative Political Action Conference with 31 percent backing. He has sought the presidential nomination in the past and attracted a following among a segment of voters frustrated with Washington.
Participants cheered as their favored candidates' names were announced. Some members of the audience cheered while others booed loudly when event organizers announced Paul as the winner.
Paul spoke at the conference along with potential presidential candidates former Gov. Mitt Romney of Massachusetts and Gov. Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota. Romney won second with 22 percent, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin came in third with 7 percent and Pawlenty finished with 6 percent.
Fewer than a quarter of the 10,000 attendees participated in the balloting, an unscientific sampling that only offers bragging rights.
Sure. That's why mainstream news goes so far out of their way to censor his debates. Fox news didn't even show ron paul in their highlight reel except for maybe a few seconds. They certainly didn't air any of his responses except during the live debates, when really they had no choice. But they made sure his name was forgotten because familiarity is important more than any real debate.
There are few well meaning politicians, I'll give you that. But they're out there. The problem is the ones that are well meaning are just as powerless as the rest of us.
