Ron Paul Resonates with Hispanic Voters in Florida

The only thing I liked about this article is that it points out that Hispanic Voters are just like everyone else and are drawn to liberty and freedom and opportunity like the rest of us. Ron Paul is the only candidate who doesn't change a word of his message no matter who his audience is. His message of liberty appeals to every American regardless of their color or income bracket. Ron Paul 2012!

Considering all the primaries are FRAUDULENT, and the General Election will be fraudulent, it doesn't matter what the polls say. The persons who control the Diebold voting machines will determine who is going to be our next President.

The day after this poll came out MSM fabricated a new poll showing Ron Paul at 6% of hispanic vote in florida. Probably need that poll so when they rig the vote people don't wonder where his support went.

"It's an unusual strategy, but it might give Paul what he has wanted all along—a national forum for his ideas and a way to affect the Republican platform."

This has become a mantra of the press. It is a less obvious manifestation of "The Ron Paul Blackout": Ignore him, don't talk about him, if you do then dismiss him as "nutty", and when required to interview him, use gotcha questioning. The, "He doesn't really want to be President", line is nothing more than a permutation of another lie: "He has no chance of winning the GOP nomination".

At the January 26 debate, it appeared to me that Wolf Blitzer took a new and more subtle anti-Paul tack. He frequently called on Dr. Paul first, especially when the questions were the most complex or controversial, giving him less time than the other candidates to digest the question and prepare an answer. But The Good Doctor looked Good!

Regarding the Hispanic Vote, it will continue to burgeon throughout the political season for a nonpolitical reason: The inexpugnable rumor that Dr. Ron Paul, OBGYN, delivered the beloved Tejano singer Selena Quintanilla (Pérez) in Lake Jackson, Texas, on April 16, 1971.

Jeb Bush still runs Florida, right? Who's to say, he won't just give Newt Gingrich all of Ron Paul's votes, the same way they just did, in South Carolina?

The computers for voting are equipped with software that blocks votes for certain "unwinable" candidates. It's on You Tube, & it's told by the man that wrote the program.We're gonna get the Media in a corner and make them accountable.Go TEA PARTY!

Ron Paul is the only one in the race that can rival Obama.And Ron Paul would win,In a honest election.He reflects us better of"At least I" want to see from our commander and cheif.This time the party will be at the convention.Patients and charicter,That only comes from experiance.When dealing with people.I don't care if people cheer for canidated.But when the hall is only filled with payed off pundents.Then it appears to onesided,should take place in all states.It should be free to the open public And deligates should be evenly dispursed.For one large state to have smaller numbers to smaller state's states.And colonies.Is obsurded and should go with population

Perhaps the latinos should watch/listen to Gingrich reference spanish as a ghetto language.

Less than 24 hours later his white arse was apologizing in spanish.

I too am latin, I know the overt prejudice that resonates in the republican party...I HOPE that the deep pockets of these latino's finally understand that they will always see not a fellow human in front of them but a LATIN/spic in front of them.

Ron Paul sees a human which of course he respects. RON PAUL...love America, love our constitution or get out.

I am Hispanic, but American first. I will vote for Ron Paul if he wins the nomination. No other candidate appeals to me or my friends.
