A test vote from GOP base territory in Georgia

While Republican presidential candidates were in Myrtle Beach, S.C., last night for their rugby scrum, the 11th Congressional District Republican Committee held an impromptu straw poll at its meeting in Paulding County.

Here are the results, as reported by vice chairman Jason Shepherd:

— Mike Huckabee, 10;

— Fred Thompson, 9;

— John McCain, 3;

— Rudy Giuliani, 3;

— Ron Paul, 2;

— Duncan Hunter, 1;

— Mitt Romney, 0.

Wow, only 28 republicans who are willing to be seen together in the 11th district. Maybe once Ron Paul has rebuilt the party with some real principles it won’t be so risky for this many to gather in one unsecure location.

It would certainly be nice to imagine that 10 years from now people will only be speaking of the republican and democratic parties with fond remembrance of the troubled times of our republic.

Ru Paul is a racist. He will never get the nomination, and his kooks aren’t republicans anyway. Half are libertarians. The other half is a soup of kooks, libs, peace activists and assorted nerdy college kids with little or nothing to do. It is all bluster, kids. All of it.

Most of his supporters are INDEPENDENT or UNaffiliated! That’s why HIS campaign is SOoo resilient and so sensible to folks with a brain!
