Stop Crying About Maine And Get Focused
Submitted by beezle on Tue, 02/14/2012 - 12:03It is over. It will not effect the delegate outcome in any meaningful way. Santorum saw no bounce from his Iowa post vote "win" until Gingrich imploded in Florida.
Meanwhile, nobody seems to give a rats ass that RP can't poll over 15% in any of the major upcoming events (at least the polls I can find)
AZ Feb 28
MI Feb 28
WA Mar 3
AK, GE, ID, MA, ND, OH, OK, TN, VT, VA all Mar 6
And in VA, a Paul vs Romney title bout he trails by 50 pts!
Yet I come here every day and the entire focus is on everything but these states. Fucking Virginia people! Wake up - there is precious little time to improve our position, let alone win, in any of these states. Don't waste it on the past.
You would not get voted down if you had not made the title
of your post so negative.
Yes, it's time to focus esp. on the next 3, which are
Arizona Primary
Michigan Primary
Washington Caucus
I agree completely.
The Maine vote has some very legitimate arguments over fairness. It may well be overturned, just as Iowa was. The Republican committee is feeling the heat.
Just stay positive - sniping at each other is NOT going to help get RP into the White House.
To a certain point
I agree. As someone who has learned of Ron Paul this past Oct. and just now donated $100 and had the yard sign and car sign and donated before, sent letters and emails to my family and friends (even clients) about RP, these are all things I have never, ever done before! With that being said it seems obvious there is some election fraud and it saddens me. I now understand the complaints that I read about from previous years and I understand the passion, but most people will not, unless they spend a lot more time understanding Ron Paul and his supporters, so to the main stream public it could look a little crazy. That does not mean you don't address it, but let the local people where the problem occured address and make into a big or as little an issue as they feel it deserves. As a new comer what I see as the biggest problem is the media by far!!! In fact that has thrown me for a loop..wow. But when the judge has to send out a message to calm down and I have seen Swann do the same thing once, well people don't understand extreme passion and that does not help. When I see a post "you know what to do" I must say I get a little nervous. It is not a matter of right or wrong, it is just the realty is main stream public is gonna see or hear this and not get it and then add to what the msm tells them. It could hurt the cause. So just keep spreading the word with your calm passion that drew me in to understand Dr. Paul. That does work, I am proof of that and thanks to all.

I have no trouble
doing both.
I will continue to light fires under their asses.
nevermind
I'll just follow Paul's lead and be more optimistic.
This election is just a battle and we have gained a lot of ground.
RON PAUL IS THE PEOPLE'S CHAMPION!
Uhhhh....no.
We got F'd in all the previous states...are we supposed to just blow those off too? Keeping our collective heads in a bucket of sand isn't going to make the crimes go away. At what point do we protest loudly enough? When you're 5th in line to the oven door, it's a little too late to say, "HEY! I object!" NOW is the time to fight!! NOW is the time to say we object..and to prove, beyond a shadow of doubt that this Federally criminal and possibly treasonous act of election tampering is real! If we stand by and do nothing as you suggest, it will continue in every and all states until "they" have won. I will not let that happen...WE the PEOPLE cannot let that happen.
To paraphrase Howard Beale from "Network", ..."I don't know what to do...I don't know what to tell you to write to your Congressman...all I know is first, you've got to get mad! You've got to say, 'I'm a human being goddammit! My life has value!' ".

you know what?
I'm still waiting on that proof from Iowa. From NH. From SC. From FL. From NV. From MN. From CO. And yes, from ME too. And not the bullshit that has been passed off as "proof" to this point. Yes total bullshit.
The hardest thing to deal with in a campaign is the realization that you have not turned out your vote or that your candidate is not quite as popular as you believe. Why is that?
What I see on the DP is 90% of the people living in an echo chamber. Rather than own up to the fact that our supporters have NOT turned out in large enough numbers to win we immediately start screaming Fraud! Did we get 40% in NH? No Romney did. Did we get 40% in SC? No Gingrich did. Did we get 46% in FL? No Romney did. Did we get 45% in MN? No Santorum did. And lets not forget how Santorum stole CO from Romney with 40%. Did anyone question the winner in those states? No. But we moan about NV because we thought we had supporters motivated to caucus and we were wrong. And Romney got ..50%. Do you see a freaking pattern here of what it takes to win?
So what are voters hearing on TV tonight? Or in the newspapers? Michicgan. Arizona. Insanatorium may beat Mittens in MI. Will Romney slide in AZ?
But instead of going where the fire is and trying to put Ron Paul into that discussion you are fixated on the ashes left behind in ME. I'm not sure which was worse. Dealing with the Truthers in 2007/08 or the Fraudsters in 11/12. Both groups have done and continue to do tremendous damage to RP's chances.

You go to your window and open it and shout out to the world...
"I'm madder than hell...and I ain't gonna take it anymore."
You are right. Should we just brush this aside like we have done for years and years we will end up with more of the same. They never counted on Ron Paul and his highly charged and determined supporters. This is a time when the establishment is being challenged big time. And it is very good for America to perform surgery and get rid of the cancer which has infected nearly every area of our life.

So WHERE is the PROOF?! All I see over and over and over is speculation.

These posts are true, but get voted down every single time. I'm starting to have less and less respect for my fellow Ron Paul supporters. They can't stand reality and think everything should come easy. Whenever it doesn't, it's not their fault, but fraud.

Of course it is!
I fail to understand how ANYONE cannot see that the system is corrupted and the results are false.
The campaign's job is to continue forward...OUR job is to fight this in any manner we can...Think about this as if it were a school yard; at some point you MUST make your stand against the bully, or he will continue to beat you up everyday...It is time for us to make our stand against the bully that is the state GOP.

Right on...
Standing up to the bully finally. They never had such a stream of people to have this kind of opportunity that we have today. The MSM knows it and don't you know that they have lost many viewers because of their bullying Ron Paul? They called him crazy...loony..the usual attacks that bullies use. The Ron Paul supporters and of course Ron Paul are changing the political landscape that simply will not go away.
