Raw email text: "Ron Paul won huge at the Iowa Straw Poll"; Robin Hood as the Robert Clarkson of 600 years ago

I don't post much Ron Paul news because I can't shake the feeling that this is going to be a repeat of 2008 -- great support from the people, great crimes by the system, and even Ron not willing to name or fight to overturn them. But it's starting to look like the people want the Doctor and may not take no for an answer this time.

Unfortunately due to Blogger.com's limitations, this email won't post with its formatting. But clicking the links in it to add them it seemed that not only the Des Moines fishwrap but the site reporting Ron's landslide reported on another page that the unbearable Cain and the despicable Romney are in the lead -- !?!?!

Ron Paul won huge at the Iowa Straw Poll of National Federation of Republican Assemblies at 82% so what did the News Outlets run? A poll done by the Des Moines Register Newspaper [ below]showing Cain and Romney in the lead, completely ignoring Ron's Landslide win. This shows complete desperation on their part.
TRENDING: Ron Paul wins both tallies at GOP straw poll in Iowa

Des Moines, Iowa (CNN) - Ron Paul has won two separate tallies for the National Federation of Republican Assemblies Presidential Straw Poll.

Paul won both the Iowa-voters-only count at the Saturday convention in Des Moines as well as a tally of non-Iowans who participated.

In the Iowa voters result, Paul took 82%. Following him were Herman Cain with 14.7%, Rick Santorum with 1%, Newt Gingrich with 0.9%, Michele Bachmann with 0.5%, Rick Perry with 0.5%, Gary Johnson with 0.2%, with Mitt Romney and Jon Huntsman 0%.

The total number of votes cast in that tally was 430.

In the tally of non-Iowans who voted, Paul won 26% followed by Cain at 25%, Perry and Santorum tied at 16%, Gingrich at 11%, Bachmann at 6%, Romney at 1%, and Huntsman and Johnson with 0%.

The total number of votes cast in that count was 101.

Though Paul won both tallies, the NFRA has not yet officially endorsed a candidate. Delegates to the convention will decide that later Saturday.
Cain and Romney Statistically Tied in Survey of Iowa Republicans
Businessman Herman Cain and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney are in a statistical tie for the most support among Republicans in Iowa, where the presidential nomination contests start Jan. 3, a poll shows.

The Iowa Poll, conducted by the Des Moines Register newspaper, shows Cain with the support of 23 percent of likely caucus participants and Romney backed by 22 percent.

The results of that prestigious poll came on the same day Cain kicked off a day of appearances in Alabama on Saturday with a win at the West Alabama Straw Poll. Cain took 50.7 percent of 347 total votes cast in that poll, and Ron Paul came in second with 45 percent of the vote.

Other candidates who received votes in the Alabama poll were Newt Gingrich and Rick Perry with five, Mitt Romney at three, and Gary Johnson and Rick Santorum at one each. Michele Bachman and Jon Huntsman also were on the ballot, but did receive any votes.

..........Here's a catchy concept for a commentary (Warning: some vulgarity):

Robin Hood Defamed Again
http://www.ncc-1776.org/tle2011/tle642-20111030-02.html

Robin Hood is a great subject. Historians can't agree that he ever actually existed

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robin_Hood

but writer L. Neil Smith seems refreshingly sure of Robin's reality. Isn't it good to see that in the belief of some, the green-clad one was a tax hero?

Speaking of defamation, you won't believe what some friends of mine discovered in viewing reprints of the 1950s Robin Hood TV series: the scriptwriters threw in a scene where Robin is made a Freemason. Here's a page that mentions it

http://forum.mastermason.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7341

....and shows at least one other onscreen attempt to Masonize the hero and his family. Yes, yes, I know there are lots and lots of good, well-intentioned people who join a Masonic lodge, but if they would give me but a little of their precious time, I feel sure I could show them the evils of such organizations -- and of such entertainment scenes.
