It is always a precarious business making predictions.

It is always a precarious business making predictions even if you think you have control of all the variables as do the establishment of the GOP and the RNC.

We are living in a fragile world situation. The most powerful nation on Earth is under the dominion of a clique of psychopaths who will stop at nothing to maintain their grip on power. They are trying to keep the public amused while they put everything in place to openly take over the entire planet.

Unfortunately for them more people are waking up to their games.

This is the reality show that everyone should be watching but the audience has not quite reached critical mass. I believe it will before August 27 and almost every single delegate at the Tampa Convention will have come to their senses.

This means that the rules committee will be dominated by those who are awake. I have read that this committee makes the rules for the Convention that trump all rules made by the State committees. This means that every delegate may be unbound for the very first roll call.

Think about what THAT means.

I don't understand

If Santorum is no longer in the race, then how can he keep delegates that cannot vote for him, or can they still...?? I don't know so please if someone would fill me in on this, it would be greatly appreciated!!!

President Ron Paul!!

here it goes...

Submitted by sovereignson on Sat, 04/28/2012 - 10:11.

This whole idea about delegates being bound or unbound to vote for anyone totally baffles me. Why don't we just pick up the constitution and read it...We are not required to vote for anyone someone else tells us to vote for! We are born with certain inalienable rights that no army or government can take from us...Well, maybe some governments and armies could but don't just let them, you must first claim your rights and you may even need to fight for your rights...That is a fundamental understanding neccesary for what it takes to be worthy of being considered a sovereign, patriotic American who is doing their part in making this revolution successful!!!

Don't hate the player, hate the game!!!

I agree with you about our inalienable rights...

Submitted by Andrew Jetton on Sat, 04/28/2012 - 10:42.

... but the GOP is a private political party, not a government. Private groups have the right to set rules for themselves, and if the GOP wants to have a process where candidates can secure delegates by winning primaries, then that is the process. Now, sometimes, the delegate conduct rules are written into state law, which I think is inappropriate. This is why I prefer caucuses, because I would rather have the party fund and control the process than have the state fund and control the process.

The moral of the story: He who pays the piper, calls the tune.

Laws Overturned

Submitted by IMissLiberty on Sat, 04/28/2012 - 11:10.

Sometimes the laws by states to intervene in internal party bylaws have been overturned by the counts (though they may appear on the books, still).

Under the First Amendment (under which the states are also bound), Congress cannot abridge our rights to associate and speak, and who we endorse is considered speech, and how we determine who to endorse is done in the private, voluntary, non-governmental organization, so the courts, amazingly, have been on our side, even when the politicians and voters sometimes aren't.

This whole "bind" and "unbind" process goes back and forth, again and again, through the decades (centuries, millenia), depending on what most benefits the majority and who has the power at the moment.

Delegates can unbind themselves, although there may be jurisdictional and other bylaw limits on when and how. Santorum supporters might want to unbind themselves to vote for Romney or for Paul--you never know.

He did not "release" his delegates, He's waiting for Romney to buy him out!

Santorum's campaign is just suspended. He did not completely quit. Maybe thats why. *shrugs*

As much as..

Submitted by MadThrillz on Sat, 04/28/2012 - 09:00.

As much as I love Paul and would love to see him in a close second (actually would love to see him in FIRST), it seems that these estimates are a bit of a stretch.. kind of like how Romney now magically has over 800 delegates when in reality he probably has only 600. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to bring people down.. in fact, I think we should just ignore the delegate count and push as hard as we can all the way to Tampa. That in my opinion, is our best chance. I do wish the MSM would at least update the delegate count for Paul because it has been stuck at 56 for two months now and we all know he probably has way more than that.

Ron Paul is "Crazy". And if

Submitted by Barracuda_Trader on Sat, 04/28/2012 - 08:51.

Ron Paul is "Crazy". And if you support him, you're "Crazy" too. Get over it.

Ron Paul has been called "Crazy" for thirty years... And Americans keep getting their asses handed to them over and over and over by the FED/IRS Complex who owns the politicians, the Pentagon and now the health care industry. It's so insidious it's like the air around us. People don't see how the theft pervades almost every aspect of American life.

The FED/IRS Complex says you're guilty until proven innocent regarding the fruits of your labor.

When they call you "Coo Coo" just make a mental note to notice where that person ends up in five years. They will be the one crying about how their 401-k got ransacked, or they're losing money with their 6 month CD's, or they got robbed when they sold their home because there is a whole new set of legal "financial transaction" tools to steal their profit.

Keep it simple...Take a one Dollar bill out of your wallet. Look at it. Every time that piece of paper changes hands the FED/IRS Complex gets a 'fee'.

What a great racket!

Now who's the Coo Coo?

I wonder if black slaves in America had to pay taxes on their free room and board and use of their "company car" or employer provided health care?

Thanks to the FED/IRS Complex Americans can't even get the same deal the slaves had.

Believe me, when they call Ron Paul crazy, it's not about him. It's about their ignorance and blindness.

They are a projection based

Submitted by WildSatchmo on Sat, 04/28/2012 - 08:54.

They are a projection based on asking known delegates from a Pro-Paul website - take with grain of salt... but they can't be much more innaccurate than the MSM numbers so I guess they are as good as any!
