On Sunday, I live-blogged the results of our Presidential Straw Poll with the promise that full results would follow. Well, here they are...

Just a note, we excluded a few write-in votes for non-living individuals like Jack Bauer and Josef Stalin. That was as close to a voting irregularity as we had.

We gave all attendees of our National Taxpayers Conference the ability to cast one vote in support of any of the top Republican or Democratic Presidential Candidates (official candidates, or those with exploratory committees, who are included in national polls). Their options were:

Duncan Hunter (R-CA), Ron Paul (R-TX), Fred Thompson (R-TN), Rudy Giuliani (R-NY), Jim Gilmore (R-VA), Sam Brownback (R-KS), John McCain (R-AZ), Tom Tancredo (R-CO), Mike Huckabee (R-AR), Tommy Thompson (R-WI), Mitt Romney (R-MA), Barack Obama (D-IL), Hillary Clinton (D-NY), Bill Richardson (D-NM), Joe Biden (D-DE), Chris Dodd (D-CT), John Edwards (D-NC), Dennis Kucinich (D-OH), Mike Gravel (D-AK), and the ever-present None of the Above.

They came out in this order...

1. Fred Thompson (R-TN) - 25.7%
2. Ron Paul (R-TX) - 16.7%
3. Rudy Giuliani (R-NY) - 12.5%
4. Mitt Romney (R-MA) - 9.0%
5. John McCain (R-AZ) - 5.6%

6. Mike Huckabee (R-AR) - 4.8%
7. Jim Gilmore (R-VA) - 4.2%
8. Newt Gingrich (R-GA) - 3.5% (all votes written in)
9(t). Sam Brownback (R-KS) - 2.1%
9(t). Duncan Hunter (R-CA) - 2.1%
9(t). Tom Tancredo (R-CO) - 2.1%

12(t). Dick Armey (R-TX) - 1.4% (all votes written in)
12(t). Hillary Clinton (D-NY) - 1.4%
12(t). Barack Obama (D-IL) - 1.4%
12(t). Tommy Thompson (R-WI) - 1.4%
16(t). Jeb Bush (R-FL) - 0.7% (all votes written in)
16(t). Tom Coburn (R-OK) - 0.7% (all votes written in)
16(t). Steve Forbes - 0.7% (all votes written in)
16(t). Mike Gravel (D-AK) - 0.7%
16(t). Bill Richardson (D-NM) - 0.7%

Go, Ron Paul! He'll beat Thompson because he's anti-war! He'll beat Hillary because he's an honest man!

I'll revise: He'll beat Hillary because he's an honest PERSON! He's also the only non-CFR, pro US-sovereignty candidate. Go Ron Paul! I love it!

BTW: Fred Thompson is a member of the CFR who wants to dissolve the USA and create a new country, the North American Union, with Mexico and Canada. Sounds crazy, but its true. Look it up.

Where would I go to look up that spicy little bit of info? Prison Planet? Or some other 9/11 conspiracy website?
