Greenville, South Carolina (CNN) – A new national poll indicates the race for the Republican presidential nomination remains wide-open, with none of the probable or potential GOP White House contenders above 20 percent, according to a new national poll.

What about the showdown in November 2012?

According to the poll, taken before the announcement of Osama bin Laden’s death, President Barack Obama has an edge over all the top GOP candidates in hypothetical match-ups.

Who does best against Obama? Paul. The congressman from Texas, who also ran as a libertarian candidate for president in 1988 and who is well liked by many in the tea party movement, trails the president by only seven points (52 to 45 percent) in a hypothetical general election showdown. Huckabee trails by eight points, with Romney down 11 points to Obama.

The poll indicates the president leading Gingrich by 17 points, Palin by 19, and Trump by 22 points.

Horowitz and the Neocons Fear Patriot Ron Paul

Horowitz and the Neocons Fear Patriot Ron Paul

It is obvious Ron Paul represents a political threat to the neocons when the former Marxist David Horowitz calls the Texas congressman an anti-Semite.

“For years the Texas crackpot, Ron Paul, has been attacking America and Israel as imperialist powers — the Great Satan and the Little Satan, and calling for America’s retreat from the battle against our totalitarian enemies,” writes the former communist turned neocon (a natural transformation – the neocon movement was established by Trotskyites).

Horowitz continues:

At the recent CPAC conference Paul’s Jew-hating storm-troopers swarmed the Freedom Center’s table to vent their spleen against Israel as a Nazi state. Now Paul is making a priority of withdrawing aid for Israel — the only democracy in the Middle East and the only reliable ally of the United States. Here is an alert from Gary Bauer about the amendment Ron Paul is proposing which may be voted on today.

Ron Paul and millions of other Americans believe the United States government does not have the right to confiscate the wealth of hard-working citizens and dole it out as “foreign aid” to Israel or any other nation.

Israel is the largest recipient of stolen goods from the American people and that is why it was mentioned by Ron Paul.

Obama approved a staggering $2.77 billion for Israeli foreign aid in 2010 and another $30 billion over the next decade. Since the establishment of Israel, the U.S. tax payer has forked over $103 billion.

Ron Paul and his son Rand Paul – recently elected by the people of Kentucky to serve in the U.S. Senate – are not afraid of the neocons, Israel’s arm-twisting lobby in Washington, or the former Marxist turned neocon opportunist David Horowitz. It is immoral to take the money of the American people and give it away to Israel and Egypt – the second largest recipient of stolen goods – or any other country.

More than anything, the neocons know their shakedown scam is coming to an end. The United States has the largest national debt in history and can no longer afford to steal money and give it away to Israel of any other undeserving country. The bogus anti-Semitism canard no longer works.

It also irks Horowitz and the faux conservatives that Ron Paul won the CPAC straw poll and actually stands a good chance of becoming the next president. For the neocons, a Ron Paul presidency is their worst nightmare. If elected, Paul will work hard to put an end to wars designed by neocons in the Pentagon to wreck small nations in the Middle East and kill Muslims and Arabs.

Ron and his son Rand Paul are not anti-Semites as the disingenuous David Horowitz claims. They are patriotic Americans who understand that the foreign and fiscal policies of the United States will ultimately destroy the nation and reduce its citizens to paupers.

David Horowitz and the neocons have done more than any other group in recent history – with the exception of the banksters – to facilitate the destruction of what was once the most productive republic in the world.

Horowitz and the neocons are responsible for the murder of nearly a million and a half Iraqis. David Horowitz should be arrested immediately and tried as a war propagandist. He is no different than Hans Fritzsche, the German newspaper journalist who supported the Nazis. Fritzsche was charged with conspiracy to commit crimes against peace, war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Poll: Ron Paul Has Greater Chance Of Beating Obama Than Palin Does In 2012 *

Poll: Ron Paul Has Greater Chance Of Beating Obama Than Palin Does In 2012

A Rasmussen poll released Monday indicates that Congressman Ron Paul has a better shot of beating Obama in the 2012 presidential election than Sarah Palin would, should both decide to run on the GOP ticket.

As Paul is seemingly on the verge of announcing another presidential bid, The poll shows that more American voters would side with Ron Paul is he were to be pitted against Obama than would vote for Palin.

The poll shows that in these extremely early stages, Ron Paul would poll 35% of votes to Obama’s 44%, where as Sarah Palin would attract 38% to an Obama count of 49%.

The figures mean that at this time the Texas Congressman would score 2% more of the overall vote than the former governor of Alaska.

With a sustained campaign behind him once more, Paul’s figures would undoubtedly shoot up. Indeed, at the height of the backlash against Obama last year, a similar Rasmussen survey found that a hypothetical 2012 election race between Obama and Paul would result in an almost dead heat.

Of course, we should not be surprised by the figures, given that Ron Paul was the figurehead at the inception of the Tea Party movement, which consisted of a small but dedicated team of people who organized Boston Tea Party re-enactment protests in 50 different cities in late 2007, in support of Paul’s 2008 presidential campaign.

The libertarian themed protests became extremely popular, and continued throughout 2008 and into 2009, prompting thousands of people to engage in peaceful political protest.

Since that time the movement has been co-opted by the establishment GOP and figures such as Palin, who is as much a pro-war hawk as the neocons responsible for miring the US in two endless, devastating and extremely costly wars.

Other candidates ranking high against Obama in the poll included the usual GOP establishment crowd of Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich.

As we have previously highlighted, perhaps the only saving grace for Obama is the fact that those Republican candidates have all lost popularity at a similar pace to the President. If Obama were to run against any of these individuals, he would probably still win, such is American’s increasing disdain for the two party monopoly.

Ron Paul would be the only Republican candidate to carry a message that resonates with the American people, his thoroughbred anti-war and anti-big government stance.

Ron Paul is the only Republican candidate to have voted against the Iraq war.

Ron Paul is the only Republican candidate who will not seek to lead the U.S. into yet more military confrontations.

Ron Paul is the only Republican candidate who is not compromised while the likes of Romney and Palin have more skeletons in their closet than a fancy dress boutique.

Ron Paul is the only candidate period who has promised to abolish the IRS, the Federal Reserve and end the fraudulent fiat-based money system that is crippling America’s economy while lining the pockets of the ultra-rich.

Rasmussen surmises from its findings that it is safe to assume that the president’s actual vote total on Election Day 2012 will be close to his overall job approval rating at the time. Therefore, if Obama’s job approval ratings improve from this point forward, it is likely that his support will increase against all Republican candidates. If his job approval ratings fall, his numbers are likely to weaken against all potential candidates.

Ron Paul has no better chance to become President than in 2012 and we urge him to accept the challenge and provide millions of Americans with genuine hope that the country can still be rescued from its current spiral of terminal decline.
