Iowa Results: Did The GOP Just "Screw" Ron Paul as Promised?

Infowars
January 3, 2012

UPDATE 10:48 PM CENTRAL: With 96% of precincts reporting, Rick Santorum narrowly leads Mitt Romney, both at 25% in Iowa. The candidates have wrestled back-and-forth as the final tallies are counted. Ron Paul at a close third with 21%, conceded the race calling himself 'one of the three winners,' while vowing to go on, continue raising funds and fighting for victory in what he termed a movement, rather than a campaign.

Santorum's surprise last-minute surge coincides with announcements that the vote in Iowa would be counted at a secret location, and along with statements from top GOP officials strategizing how to effectively take out Ron Paul and diminish his significance. It is no secret that all the stops have been pulled to minimize Paul's media visibility throughout the campaign trail, with many top GOP figures and media commentators going so far as to pre-script a plan to ignore Iowa in the event that Ron Paul won the caucuses, in order to prevent the Congressman from dominating the national stage.

Did the GOP establishment succeed in sabotaging the Ron Paul campaign as it vowed to do?

What accounts for Santorum's swift rise to the top of polls in Iowa only days out from the contest when he barely showed a pulse in ANY state, let alone Iowa, among the crowded GOP field at any time in the weeks and months before?

The Des Moines Register poll from ONLY two days ago showed Santorum at 15%-- a distance third that itself marked a spectacular improvement from a campaign that struggled to even stand out in the 'second tier' of GOP candidates. Both Paul and Romney consistently ranked in the top three polls for Iowa for some time.

Whatever the answer, for the so-called "mainstream" corporate-owned media who dominate news wires and cable television (but must now combat the rise of Internet journalism), it will be enough to justify ignoring Ron Paul and keeping him out of the headlines in hopes of sinking the entire campaign before it catches on at a truly national level.

@therealmr905 heh, 752 likes 14 dislikes 301 views They must be using the same formula the GOP uses to count Ron Paul's votes.

Alex, what you need to start doing is providing the links the state laws that say they are required to post the results for everyone to see. That way people can print it out and pass it around at the caucuses. If people have the law with them and highlighted, they will be able to demand it on site!

@ThundrStruck1 I've noticed that *every* new video that comes out on any channel gets stuck at 301 views for a while...

@sigmarecon I fully agree.

I'm from Iowa but I don't have a picture :( Ron Paul won my precinct 23 out of 47 and won the large and somewhat diverse Black Hawk County! In the smaller places they may have swayed voters. I love listening to Alex... "You're not a princess..." "It's a lion, it's going to eat you!" LOL he tells the truth though!

in case anybody wants to know why america is stuck up israels butt, its bc the rockefeller and rothschild families own 80% of the land of israel and pretty much control it, and they forced israel to have the "star of david" as their symbol, which is not, nor has ever been a holy symbol, which is the original emblem of helena blavatsky's (who was a huge santanist) theosophy secret society, it is many occultist sign of white and black magic,, dont get mad at me, do ur own research, killuminati
