Obviously, you are making a play, on a pro-Israel agenda, and that's fine! Using Ron Paul, to do so... questions your real support. However, if you truly are a Ron Paul supporter than that is all that needs to be said. We know his position on foreign aid, and his position on not forcing Israel to be our bitch. Your poll is derisive, and that goes against Dr. Paul's message.
The facts remain there are more Jews in America, than in Israel.
Israel, has an estimated (and unconfirmed) 300, varied, nuclear delivery systems. And numerous other U.S. supplied arms, like AWACS to compliment their own excellent arms manufacturing and modification skills. There is plenty of Quid pro quo.
While the global economy is effecting everyone, Israels economy is stronger than the U.S.
If it comes down to choosing between a pro-American stance and a pro- Israel one, which would you choose? America first!
Israel is a sovereign nation, who should determine their own fate, without getting permission from our corrupt government first.
Any cost-benefit analysis would (and has) shown the inequality in this relationship. Our support of Israel has come at a high cost, both politically and practically.

The Israeli lobbying machine in Washington, is far too powerful and successful, as Ron Paul has reminded us.
If Israel feels threatened by Iran, and wants to attack, or invade... go for it! You don't need us. And if you do, perhaps you should reconsider. At what cost to America, would aiding or performing a preemptive first-strike against Iran. How would the closing of the straights of Hormuz damage the American economy? How would the world respond to America, without proof of WMD's? Bush used it as a false-flag reasoning with Iraq... would it be any different with Iran?
We can't defend our own borders, let alone anyone else's, without further insolvency or sacrifice of American lives.
The U.S and Israel enjoy long standing strategic corporation. However, it was Benjamin Netanyahu, who said, "America doesn't have to Nation build here, we are already a nation."
Both Benjamin Netanyahu and Ron Paul are on the same page.
Obama and Romney are all rhetoric.

I'm not a Romney fan by any means, but you not only have to choose which battles to fight in life, you also have to choose when to fight them.
If Obama gets back in with, say, 49% of the vote to Romney's 36%, with the rest going to Paul, maybe they'll realize that it was the wrong time to take a stand. Of course, by then it'll be far, far too late.
William F. Buckley's rule says: "Always vote for most electable conservative candidate."
Paul just isn't electable, in my opinion; while he has feverish, loyal support, there's just not enough of it to get him over the hump. Paul needs to swallow his pride, officially drop it and, for the greater good of the country, publicly endorse Romney.
Texas terrorists..
Israelis are the Chinese or Russian invaders and occupiers of Texas.
Perhaps I come over to help you as a 'foreign extremist' if you invite me ;)
Damn sick Ron Paul fanatics!
You're talking about the establishment cronies who continue to debase purchasing power in local communities and foreclose the middle class into tent camps for Goldman Suks campaign bribers, right?
Become an eternal debt slave and vote for the establishment (US gov debt $680.000 per family and rising rapidly).
So much for "reverencing liberty."
Any question
Iraq & very soon Iran. They bombed the hell out of the USS Liberty in an attempt to get us in war with Egypt & Syria, now they are convincing our government to pass sanctions, infect nuclear facility computers with Viruses, & assassinate educated scientists in an effort to provoke war with Iran. Israel is the over confident wimpy bully with a big tough best friend, they pick fights then call our name at the top of their lungs when their victims retaliate.
The truth is, every group and political persuasion is going to have its oddballs. There's just no helping it, but partisans and jerkwads of all stripes like to condemn entire groups for such indirect associations: You see it all the time with liberals picking the most raving mad "Teabagger" and acting like they're representative of all conservatives (or Tea Party conservatives), and you see it with conservatives picking the most brain-dead nanny stater and acting like they're representative of all liberals (or to kick it up a notch, acting like James Holmes is representative of OWS protestors).
Ron Paul supporters are especially diverse and particularly easy to smear, because he's a lightning rod for almost anyone who is disillusioned with the federal government...whether for good reasons or bad. Since anti-establishment views are inherently outside the [current] mainstream (though they're finally catching on), an anti-establishment candidate is bound to attract a lot of people who are "different," including a few unbalanced fringe elements as w...

Since anti-establishment views are inherently outside the [current] mainstream (though they're finally catching on), an anti-establishment candidate is bound to attract a lot of people who are "different," including a few unbalanced fringe elements as well as libertarians, paleoconservatives, liberaltarians, and intelligent free thinker types.
The "crazy ones" are always going to exist, and you have to expect it...and no matter who you are (but perhaps especially if you're a Ron Paul supporter), you're going to have to expect people lumping you in with them, because I don't see the culture of political cheap shots and smears changing anytime soon.
At the same time, I suspect you might be gravely misinterpreting the views of some of the Ron Paul supporters you're talking about (who may not be gung-ho about the state of Israel):
For instance, take myself. I have a serious problem with Israel's influence over US politics and our vicarious complicity in their ruling administration's crimes against Palestinians (which have been debated ad nauseum in other polls, but I digress). I also do not consider Iran a serious threat to the US or to Israel: The last thing on earth Iran needs is for a US or Israeli city to be blown up; they know the US military would erase their entire country from existence within a day, before even attempting to prove their involvement. It's their worst nightmare, and it's ludicrous to seriously think they would destroy a city just to dance around and be annihilated soon after, when both Israel and the US would easily survive any such attack. I do suspect they're trying to get a nuke, but it's not so they can commit suicide with it. It's because the US treads more carefully around countries capable of nuclear retaliation, and they want to be part of that "club." (Now, unaffiliated radical Islamic fundamentalists do pose an ongoing security challenge, but they cannot be defeated through militarism, and it's important to recognize that the US deliberately radicalized the region with Operation Cyclone...which will take time to undo, especially after our foreign policy since then has reinforced the trend.)
Upon hearing these views, a lot of people might have a kneejerk reaction and assume that I'm anti-semitic, or that I hate Israel, or that I secretly want Israel destroyed...and nothing could be farther from the truth. I absolutely do not want any ill fortune to befall the Israeli people, especially violence. In fact, I think the Israelis are in a situation which deeply parallels our own as Americans: They're divided about their own government's foreign policy, but their political system keeps their scumbag elites in charge and makes the common people nearly helpless to change policy without a massive political movement. I do not feel the unconditional support for the Israeli state that so many evangelical Christians feel (or any state for that matter), but I do feel a sense of kinship due to our political predicaments that our reckless and belligerent governments have put us in. They deserve the same thing we do: The opportunity to take control of their government and right these wrongs.
