You know, the real reason Ron Paul came in third was because one last bus-load of delegates were not allowed to enter. He would have beat Fred Thompson that way.

Wow, and I thought it was because of voting fraud.
But I guess one excuse is as good as another . . .

Jim, that's hilarious.
Despite this not being a big time straw poll event and the disappointing turn out, I'm glad Duncan Hunter got some love.

Since the voters were all actual Texas GOP delegates and alternates, this is more than a little interesting and reinforces my hunch that the Moonman and the Ghoul are media-assigned "top tier" by the beltway gaggle due to their open-borders internationalism and their sitting duck potential in the the general election.
Catholic, Mormon, Hillary eat!

Uh, sure way to go. Why, in his very own home state, Ron Paul was somehow, SOMEHOW, kept from the victory that he so richly deserves as "The One True American Who Could Rebuild All That Has Been Lost."
Sheesh! Where do these Ron Paul morons come from?

bD, note the typical inconsistency in the last sentence of your first paragraph. So are the 'beltway gaggle' fer 'em, or agin 'em?

"Sheesh! Where do these Ron Paul morons come from?-dragon person"
Apparently from within the Bushian GOP delegate rolls in Texas. Vox Populi.
"So are the 'beltway gaggle' fer 'em, or agin 'em?=kim="
I see. Yes, the beltway gaggle (framed media and their Wall St and RNC sponsors) are fer 'em. The rank and file GOP smells dirty laundry. Sees skid marks.
Terminally-ill lobbyist who stutters without script, Chief Dog On Roof Go Poop, and the guy who has already ducked Hillary once before. They're sitting ducks.
Tancredo, Hunter, or Paul are better candidates, but since they're independent-minded/non-chickenhawks, they make the RNC lavender marshmallows feel bad about their own general worthlessness as Americans. Not to mention the pissing into the RNC open borders picnic basket.
That last is key!
