Ron Paul Gains Momentum, Pawlenty leaves race and Rick Perry Throws Hat Into the Ring in 2012 Presidential Race

Ron Paul placed 2^nd in Iowa straw poll just less than 1%(<200) of votes behind Michele Bachmann with Tim Pawlenty placing in third. Rick Santorum and Herman Cain placed in 4^th & 5^th. Pawlenty left the race last week and Rick Perry entered just hours before Pawlenty’s withdraw from the presidential race. I say good riddance to Tim Pawlenty. I hope the same goes for all others. Texans actually prefer Ron Paul over Gov. Perry and despite media neglect, Ron Paul is gaining momentum and if this keeps up, Paul will eventually win the Republican nomination for presidency. The three major candidates as I see it now are Ron Paul, Michele Bachmann, and Rick Perry. Ron Paul actually did better this year than Mitt Romney did in 2007. Mitt Romney is starting to become a lost cause in the race and is being ignored more and more by the media and public every day. It’s likely that if Romney keeps being ignored like a lost cause, then Romney will drop out of the race like Tim Pawlenty, which would be awesome considering the fact that the last thing we need is a pretender like all of the major candidates in the race except for Ron Paul. There are other neglected candidates like former Gov. of New Mexico Gary Johnson. But I’d like to expose the “anti-establishment” candidate Michele Bachmann. Bachmann in the past has supported bailouts and reckless spending and neoconservative causes like Bush-Era foreign policy. Bachmann has improved since the Tea Party movement started and even wrote a bill to repeal Obamacare the same month after it was signed into law. The only candidate I can trust is Ron Paul because he has ALWAYS truly kept his word and is the most honest well known politician I have ever known. Smooth talking pretender politicians are the last thing we need. Debt is $14.5 trillion, the debt ceiling was raised and America’s credit rating was crapped down, despite what Obama claimed would happen should default happen. Printing of money devalued the dollar to the point of raising prices 22.5 times in the past century. TSA engages in molestation and degrading searches at airports which were unjustly upheld by the US Court of Appeals for the D.C. circuit. WTF! Troops are being sent to fight in undeclared and unjust wars which are unconstitutional. About one third of the US military are 18-20 year olds who are treated like children but punished like adults in terms of alcohol and firearms other than rifles and shotguns. The US military’s favorite presidential candidate is Ron Paul due to the fact that Paul’s views on non-interventionalist foreign policy is very popular with the military of the US. Most US military personel are 2^nd amendment supporters and crusaders of the US constitution. The 2^nd amendment protects the individual right to keep and bear arms. Ron Paul and Michele Bachmann fully support the 2^nd amendment but Ron Paul also supports the ninth and tenth amendments which limits the federal government to enumerated powers. Bottom line is Ron Paul is the only trusted candidate who can do the job right. For a running mate, I believe Gary Johnson is the best running mate Ron Paul can have. I hope to see the Ron Paul-Gary Johnson ticket win Republican nomination and defeat the Barack Obama-Joe Biden regime ticket next year so that America and the World will not have to end after 2012. This is the last chance for voting to actually work. I hope to see the other candidates drop out of the race and support Ron Paul, the strongest candidate against Obama!
