Why on earth are people voting for Mitt ?

[Dom2012]

Obviously my view point is only loosly based on what i see in the media and on the internet as im from the UK, but Ron Paul seems to me like the only hope we had of America changing its ways for the better. Also he may have given rise to the possibility that the world would have changed for the better !!!

When I saw the results coming in from super Tuesday my heart sank ....
why on earth would Americans vote for Mitt Romney ?!
1: hes a Mormon in a mostly christian country !!!
2: he's a multimillionaire
3: a tax dodger

and here's 20 other reasons that not only make me sad that also make me a bit angry ............

1 word. MEDIA

[Dom2012]

lol I guess, immediately makes me think of Green day..... "One nation controlled by the media"

I think the day I see Mitt being signed into office a little tear will roll down my cheek :o(

If I was american I would vote Mitt and get out of the country asap just to buy me some more time to keep stackin. Gladly im not professionally bound to any specific location. With.RP the shit will hit the fan.much faster. With mitt its gonna hit harder, but much later.

Ther are an awful lot of Mitt wits out there.

I haven't voted for anyone, yet. Mittens is backed by the big money as pointed out above and as we March towards one world government most know he'll keep the Great American Sellout going at all costs. oh-boy! Invest in Vaseline and tucks pads and we'll be fine.

I just wonder how much truth and honesty there is in the polls and Caucus. Probably not much.

Remember the O promised that this was going to be the most open and transparent administration the world has ever seen! Heck he even won a peace prize! how cute. If that doesn't say it all then...? LOL, ull i gota hurl..

Great interview with Dr Paul Craig Roberts on RTAmerica explaining why Ron Paul didn't get the support many of us expected. This is IMO the most logical explanation as opposed to those like Alex Jones who say it was election fraud on a massive scale everytime RP gets a dissapointing result.

[nigerian prince]

because theyre morons, just like obama supporters, hey theyre probably not the ones going over seas killing civillians in some other country..

MSNBC had a voter breakdown based on income level (taken from exit polls and entrance polls) and they found that those making over $100,000 is where the meat of his demographic is. Not only that, but more people in the upper income bracket are coming out to vote than they had done in previous elections.

Funny. Without dovulging too much personal info, I make well over 100k and support Ron Paul

Yeah same here and I wouldn't even contemplate supporting anyone but Paul.

I think an important fact is that the age demopgrapgic that vote in conservative primaries are predominatly seniors aged 50- 70, mainly baby boomers that were brought up on the welfare state, free shools free healthcare, cheap money, the system has served them well up until 2008. They call themselves conservative and want big spending cuts, but deep down they really want the welfare wagon to continue, thats why Rommney in their man.

Id rather see Ron Paul a president of the Earth

Saw this on a News Link email I subscribe to. Clicked on the link and the article was gone. Gee, I wonder who doesn't want people to read something like this .....

US: Mainstream media has gleefully reported that Ron Paul did not win any straw polls in the Super Tuesday primaries. What they did NOT tell you is that he still could win the GOP nomination through his strategy of collecting delegates. Here are the facts. AJC 2012 Mar 8 (Cached)

The link to the article is HERE.
