ONLY RON PAUL CAN BEAT CLINTON
Zogby''s Director of Communications Fritz Wenzel said on November 20 that Paul is the strongest of the GOP candidates to run against Clinton. "Among the larger universe of voters," which includes all parties, "yes, Paul would be a much stronger candidate than any of the other three [Romney, Giuliani, Thompson]," Wenzel said. Zogby recently announced that Paul was their winner in a nationwide blind-bio poll which included voters from all parties. "He is anti-war and the majority of Democrats are anti-war, he has some other ideas and policies and stances on issues more attractive to Democrats, particularly conservative Democrats," said Wenzel. "Even among Independents, he is far and away a more attractive candidate," he added. Paul is the only GOP candidate who is not threatening war with Iran, whereas Clinton vowed to keep that option "on the table." Paul also voted against the war in Iraq, which Clinton has supported. Because Democrats outnumber Republicans, none of the other GOP candidates can win against Clinton, because they simply won''t be able to reach across party lines and attract enough Democratic and Independent voters to beat Clinton. Only Paul can do that. "He''s right on schedule," Wenzel said. "He''s making all the right moves, going in the right direction...at a time when other candidates are not moving." Wenzel based his analysis on recent polls that show Paul could win in New Hampshire and that his support nationwide is intensifying.

RON PAUL WINS BIG IN NATIONAL POLL
The results of a nationwide telephone poll, announced by Zogby on November 19th, reveals that Americans want to vote for a candidate who protects liberty; who wants to shrink government; and who wants to immediately withdraw our troops from Iraq - positions of Congressman Ron Paul. As part of a blind-bio, spread poll, likely voters (from all parties) were provided with descriptions of four different Republican candidates and asked to choose who they would vote for based on each one''s resume and political platform. 33% of pollees chose Ron Paul, 19% chose Rudy Giuliani, 15% chose Mitt Romney and 13% chose Fred Thompson. The results clearly illustrate that the country is crying out for Ron Paul, which is why mainstream media has launched a public relations offensive to marginalize his accomplishments and suppress the Congressman''s name recognition. In a seperate question, over 49% of pollees said they would be more likely to vote for a candidate who would begin an immediate withdrawal from Iraq. In fact, Ron Paul won in every demographic of this poll including, but not limited to, religious voters, NASCAR fans, military families, African-Americans, etc..

BBC reports indicate that the Sudanese parents who complained may view a toy stuffed bear as a representation of a fearsome animal rather than as a "Teddy Bear".

As usual, cbs is late with a story. Now if it were about some Christian, covervative, etc they''d be right there. But this story, showing just how brutual islam is-two days late.

"First of all I dont understand why some of the comments posted are full of hate towards Islam."

Um... have you paid ANY attention to what Muslims have been UP to?

Islam IS a religion of hate - and a cult of death - and a haven for barbarism

WHAT IT DOESN''T SAY IN THIS REPORT:

The teacher was demonstrating how democracy works to her class.

She asked THE CHILDREN to vote on a name for the teddy bear.

20 of the 23 children chose "Muhammed", the name of the most popular boy in the calss.

Britain''s Sky News reported Monday that Gibbons faces a possible sentence of 40 lashes or prison time for her offense of insulting the Prophet.

Anyway you cut this, it stinks. What about the teddy bear.......ya mean he gets off with nothing. I think he should most definitely lose his head for this. Stuffed or not, this bear needs to be made an example to other stuffed creatures.

Under Islamic law, there is no room for misunderstandings. We''re talking about arresting someone on suspicion of blasphemy because some kids named a teddy bear Muhammed.....get Real! I can and will respect Muslims as human beings, but I don''t have to respect a religion that is totally without any tolerance at all. Its amazing how the libs crucify Christians accusing them of having no tolerance, but with something like this, they are supportive.

Hello everyone, First of all I dont understand why some of the comments posted are full of hate towards Islam. I think that people should respect all kinds of religions. Please, I''m sure that half the people who wrote all those horrible comments dont have a clue of what Islam is. All they see is the bad media about Muslims.
Anyway, I think that the British teacher wanted to help those children in Sudan. Thats why she was there in the first place. Unfortunatley, she got into trouble for something she did I''m sure she didnt mean to offend the religion or the people of Sudan. Otherwise, she wouldnt be there in the first place. It was all a misunderstanding!!
