Furthermore, a late August Rasmussen poll showed him within 1 percent of President Obama in a head-to-head matchup.<\/p>\n<p>Another recent Gallup survey, conducted August 17-18, shows Paul only 2 percentage points behind Obama in a general election match-up. In a similar head-to-head survey from last year done by Rasmussen, Dr. Paul drew a statistical dead heat with the President. And earlier this year in a survey by CNN, he did the best out of the other Republicans put up against Obama in a head-to-head poll.<\/p>\n<p>Authorized and paid for by Ron Paul 2012 PCC. www.RonPaul2012.com<\/p>\n<p>Contact:<\/p>\n<p>Ron Paul 2012 Presidential Campaign Committee<br \/>\nGary Howard, 855-886-9779<\/p>\n<p>Read more: http:\/\/finance.yahoo.com\/news\/Ron-Paul-Bests-Obamain-Latest-bw-3821734650.html?x=0&amp;.v=1<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shows Paul beating President in head-to-head matchup Press Release Source: Ron Paul 2012 Presidential Campaign Committee On Wednesday September 28, 2011, 12:06 pm EDT LAKE JACKSON, Texas&#8211;(BUSINESS WIRE)&#8211;

He continued that God wasn't important, wasn't real, and our parents just used God to impose restrictions on us because they were inadequate to parent effectively. I knew then I was going to be involved in a war and that I would have to be in Jesus Christ's Army. Even then, I knew the United States of America would cease to exist without the vast majority of its citizens voluntarily submitting to the Perfect and Good Laws of the Holy Bible. I am a woman who loves the Lord Jesus Christ. I am tired of seeing our LORD denigrated from the school house to the White House. I search the Internet for items that ought to serve as a warning to Americans and Christians all through America, but the nation seems to be sleeping. Wake up America!
