Ron Paul Wins Values Voter Straw Poll- The Implications

Big news today as Ron Paul has an astounding victory at the Values Voter Summit in D.C.:

This is a big victory for Paul considering he was in relatively hostile territory.  Paul's stance on drugs, civil liberties, marriage, and war have never sat well with the mainstream conservative crowd so this says a lot.  What did it was this phenomenal speech.

Unfortunately I am unable to imbed the speech here right now but it is fantastic.  Paul invokes the Bible to make the case for dismantling the welfare state along with ending war.  The audience is very receptive and the straw poll votes agree.  Meanwhile we have Mitt Romney calling for more defense spending and imperialism yet most Repubs will just fall in line and vote for him because they think he is the only chance to beat Obama, it doesn't matter if they embody many of the same policies.  This was a great victory for Paul over all and just goes to show how a belief in limited government can be compatible with modern day conservatism.

Update- Very interesting...I will have to watch out for this guy:
