Yet another poll to be smeared or disregarded by the main stream media.
Commentary flying after the MSNBC Presidential debate centered on the barbs between Mitt Romney and Rick Perry. However, nearly 70,000 cast their votes on MSNBC’s website following the contest. Nearly half of those participating a thumbs up to Rep. Ron Paul. Romney and Perry took second and third respectively.
Paul polled 47%, Romney 19.4% and Perry 15.1%. Responders noted that Paul had been given “almost no time to speech” yet provided the most substantive answers.
Paul stressed de-centralization of government as the solution to the nation’s woes. He had strong answers for several ‘baited’ questions. For instance, a commentator asked him about dismantling regulations, suggesting that without the federal government no one would have charge of consumer oversight or even air traffic control.
Not missing a beat, Paul explained, “you do not
need government in a free society. The market place takes care of
regulation. I say consumers in America are smart enough to buy a safe
car.” He added that privatization would replace national regulation and
needed regulations would fall by to state and local control. Taking a
swipe at government agencies, Paul reminded everyone that regulations
prevented air craft pilots from carrying guns. If the pilots of the
terrorist hijacked pilots on 9/11 had weapons, the tragic attacks likely
would have been foiled.
The candidate suggested that “Congressional
lobbyists have control of writing regulations” through political
contributions. When government “runs people’s lives,” the “mandates”
administered are plagued by inflationary issues.
Commentators often cut him off not allowing him to
assert “the details” of terminating the federal government from “running
our lives.”
The same time fixed brevity impacted Michelle
B1chmann who stated that “Obama care is killing jobs” and “kids need
jobs.” The how and alternatives were not explored.
Rick Perry seemed to debate Democrats as well as
Romney. Perry, stated JFK had stressed the “most powerful welfare
program is a job, appearing to attack President Obama and the Democrats
before Thursday’s jobs speech to the nation.
Meanwhile, Paul differentiated himself from
President Ronald Reagan’s agenda and the former president’s results, He
recalled that in the 1980’s “We spent too much and talked too much,”
resulting in “huge deficits. I support President Reagan’s message, not
the consequences.”
