Wowee! Maybe the silly debates don't matter. Maybe people can see through the charade the media is putting on. Look at this:

Ron Paul Wins Online Straw Poll - News, Weather and Sports for Sioux City, IA: KCAU-TV.com

If this is foreshadowing ,he'll win tomorrow's straw poll too!

In this poll big "front-runner" Mitt Romney only got 5% of the vote - same as Pawlenty. Bachman only got 10%. Cain only got 16%. Nobody came close to Paul's numbers!

These were similar results to the "Bracketology" numbers in the Time Magazine article.

And Fox will try to spin any result into saying that somehow Romney or Pawlenty won the straw polls.

I know. What is going on in this world does seem like a nightmare. It would be nice if that was all it was and we could wake up in a prosperous country with Ron Paul as our president; no more Federal Reserve our troops at home; grocery and gas prices falling; tuition rates falling; crime rates falling; the dollar rising; a reasonable amount of interest being paid to people with savings. T

he TSA would be gone. People could travel freely without having to be nuked or groped by government goons. The Patriot Act would be repealed. The CIA, FBI and Homeland Security would be 1/4 the size they are now.

There would be clean food and water everywhere and most regulations on small farms and food supplement companies would no longer apply but new STRICT regulations would apply to BIG AGRA; BIG FOOD and BIG PHARMA.For the first time the FDA would act as a consumer protection agency and NOT a support group for BIG FOOD and BIG AGRA and BIG PHARMA.

Our medical system would finally recognize natural medicine and conventional doctors would be REQUIRED to tell their patients that drugs and surgery was not their only option for chronic and degenerative diseases and would encourage them to get a second opinion from a Naturopath and as a result Americans for the first time in modern times would begin to become as healthy as their European and ASian counterparts where natural medicine is on a level playing field.

Too bad the opposite of this is our reality.

I try not to dream of Utopia. Just hope it is Ron Paul and not another idiot on republican ticket. Let me know when THAT happens for it will be the only sign of any sanity left.

I voted for Obama in 2008.

But mark my words, if Ron Paul gets the Republican nomination, I am voting Republican for the first time in my life.
