Ron Paul Picks Up Key Delegates at Caucuses

Why in the world would we want a repeat of the past, by pitting a quasi-big government, interventionist, internationalist, red-labeled, establishment certified flip flopper against a big government, interventionist, internationalist, blue-labeled, establishment certified flip flopper, again, and expect a different outcome, i.e., peace, prosperity, individual freedom and rights, limited government, restoration of a sound money system and a free Constitutional Republic? As the saying goes in computer programming, "Garbage in, garbage out," and it's no different in the election process, starting with individual voters, most of whom are either incapable of connecting the dots and/or who succumb to the spoon-fed, red/blue establishment line, which is calculated to control the sheeple and keep them in perpetual bondage and endless debt. Flip flop, anyone?

There will NEVER ...... be ..... a Romney administration!
Romney can NOT ever be our president .... he can NOT win!
In a three way race Mitt would run THIRD .... wake UP ... GOP old guard.
Only the most "yellow dog" old guard, dedicated republicans will back Mitt .
Reliable polls show that 22% of AMERICAN voters will NEVER vote for a Mormon.Probably a unfair prejudice BUT life is not always fair.
ONLY Dr Paul can attract voters outside the GOP and win the General election.
If Mitt ran on a third party ticket he would not get enough votes to hurt anyone.
.........................................................................................................................
The GOP has TWO choices
1. RON PAUL
2. LOSE the general election by margins worse than anyone can remember PLUS lose numerous Senate and house seats.
........................................................................................................................
A new and better ( much better ) way to elect a president ....

I feel Ron Paul is the only one who can beat obama in the fall due to his real conservative values. I also feel if he should bolster that he has a written plan to restore america. This is something that washington does not even have. Another thing would be to name a young vibrant person as his vice president candidate. Rand Paul would be a real plus. As in any sales operation, take away the negative and accentuate the positives. Rons age scares voters more than anything, this would remove that burr. Ron also needs to set his younger voters loose on the replubican party via electronic media. I feel Ron has a real shot if he pulls out some inexpensive but effective stops. Most of all sell real not promises.

Sorry, Chris, but it was the votes of Ron Paul supporters that was stolen.
This is just the inevitable. With Ron's delegate majorities in Iowa, Massachusets, Missouri, Washington and more, it looks as though Romney's path to the nomination won't be so clear cut. Especially since Santorum and Newt supporters are teaming up with Ron Paul supporters to muscle out Romney.
To add to that, many Ron Paul supporters are posing as Romney and Santorum supporters to gain additional delegate positions.
This is going to be an interesting GOP convention and I have a feeling that you won't do jack if Ron becomes the nominee.

Chris from CA:
The nomination process is not designed for your vote to matter. It would be ridiculous for a country as powerful as the U.S. to allow the citizens to just pick the president. Men in uniform have not been used to protect the vote in a long time, they are used to shove democracy on the world, and keep our empire strong. Men in uniform are put into wars in a manner that the founding fathers would not allow.
I would think a man in uniform would want a commander-in-chief that would start wars as the constitution allows. Some do not realize that this is not a dictatorship.
It is not fair to say Ron Paul is stealing anything when Romney has already bought everything and essentially controls the media.
Romney is a good choice though if you enjoy the thrill of knowing an RPG could hit you any second while you eat your lunch on a military base in the middle of nowhere.

I spent many years supporting this country in Uniform, to protect the vote. If this nom is stolen, I will not vote. I voted for one man, and if my vote is stolen, there will be hell to pay. Romney has the nomination. Not the nutbag old fart.

Doesn't Ron Paul know that he's not supposed to be doing this? It's hurting his alliance with Romney!

This Romney-Paul contest has only begun. I laugh when I turn on network news only talking about Romney-Obama. They still think they can brainwash the People.
The truth suggests otherwise. Get ready for the Paul Revolution, it has only begun
