Stop looking at the primary, that isn't what really matters here. Ron Paul is not losing.
Submitted by Neverquit on Tue, 05/08/2012 - 20:17We have been through this, forget the primaries (straw polls). Winning delegates at the convention is all that matters, if you have been paying attention.
Forget the media when they say Romney has this locked up and forget what they are reporting as the delegate count.
The delegates decide the nominee folks, and we are winning the majority of delegates all over the country.
The media wants everyone to believe that Romney has the nomination locked up to try and discourage people from getting to their conventions. The problem is that this has a negative effect on Romney rather than Ron Paul. We are motivated. Romney's people aren't.
Ask yourselves, if Romney has this locked up then why the need to send lawyers to Nevada or to challange delegates in Maine and other places? The reason is he knows he has not locked up a damn thing and the establishment is running scared.
Stay focused there is still lots of work to be done and delegates to win, let's show these bastards that we will not go quietly in the night but we the people are here to take our country back and declare our independence.

Yeah, it would undermine
Yeah, it would undermine Romney's legitimacy as a presidential candidate if he won Tampa because delegates who didn't vote for him were replaced by those who did! Obama's birth certificate problem is minor in comparison.
Some of the traditional media are starting to see the strategy
There was a pretty detailed article in The Michigan Standard about the strategy and how it might actually work: http://www.michiganstandard.com/216/ron-paul-might-actually-.... Surprising to see this get picked up by sites that normally ignore Dr. Paul.
Yep
The propaganda is always flying on election days. It's a bit sad that more people who would like to know more about Dr. Paul really don't know that he is winning. But yes, I go through it every single time and catch myself. So much is rigged in this system that it's hard to know what is real. What is real is a floor full of Ron Paul supporters in Tampa.
omg
this is so true. straw polls are stupid (and rigged - i used to believe otherwise, but its clear they are rigged)
we win with delegates.
you are so right. romney is so stuck. he can say 'its over - don't vote for paul' and lose the delegate battle. or he can say 'get the romney delegates out' - but then the media can't blackout paul!
i think we are in the position of power. just keep fighting and win the delegates!
You Don't
Have to worry about Ron Paul's True Followers. It's the one's getting fooled by the main stream.
THIS POST IS RIGHT!!
you know i made a mistake in the past....i am a young voter and have much to learn but something that i will always take with to the polls IS RECORD...any one i vote for has to have the record to back it up PERIOD!.....the mistake i made was in 2008 i voted for Obama and it was my first time voting...yes i was naive but now that i have seen the truth i can not go back EVER!. I don't have a future if and when i get out of school cant find a job to support my carrier. The foundation of my future is almost completely eroded. i have vigorously looked at Dr. Paul's record and his views. and to best of my knowledge HES WILL PUT THE FOUNDATION BACK!....he has the record and he has my vote ALL THE WAY TILL THE END.!!

On another topic
I just read that homeland security and tsa are getting 450 million rounds of hollow points, those are illegal, wtf is going on?, I am seriously thinking about my guns in the basement, are they getting so desperate they will use bullets on us, I used to laugh at people talking about conspiracies, overthrowing the government, I don't think this is one, I think their getting ready for war...against us,
when people lose everything and have nothing to lose, they lose it<, I believe this quote, Revolutionaries are born through the inhumane actions of tyrants
this is really concerning, why that many bullets, why hollow tip?, I am wondering letting friends and family know might be good choice, this is extremely dis-heartening
Several items about hollow points.
1) Hollow points are illegal by treaty for use in war, i.e. internationally. They are also banned by some states for their own law enforcement. But in general they are not banned in the US for use by the government against the people. This sounds like they are just buying more ammo.
2) They were ALWAYS ready to use guns on us if we don't follow orders and/or seem threatening to them. That's why they have guns.
3) Hollow points are more about making the bullet stop inside the first person hit so they don't go through and hit the person behind him than they are about doing extra damage. If shots are fired in a crowded situation they can actually be safer for bystanders than Full Metal Jacket or other solid rounds. (Of course this assumes the user is actually aiming his shots and accurate. Law enforcement is notorious for "spray and pray" and I see no evidence that TSA is better trained.)
4) But of course hollow points DO do additional damage. So FOR A GIVEN CALIBER AND LOAD they are more dangerous to those hit - bystander or otherwise. But by the same token they also allow a smaller load to do the work of a larger one. That lets, say, a pistol have more rounds for a given fully-loaded weight, giving more shots before reload is required and more rounds for a given belt weight of gun and spare magazines. It also reduces the recoil. This was the main design feature of the Glock 17: Going from .45 FMJs to 19mm hollow points enabled going from 10 (or 12) rounds to 17 (or 19) in the same form factor.
So what load were these hollow points? If they were a 19mm it sounds like it's just a resupply of what law enforcement worldwide has been using for decades. If they were .45 ACP or some other large load it raises the question of whether they're trying for ugly wounds and blood spray to terrorize the public and dead rather than wounded opposition to simplify the legal fallout later.

Great post man,
I am not sure but one thing's for sure, this load of ammunition is not for the military, I read this amount is enough for a six, seven year war ,against the american people. "40 caliber ammunition, plus an open bid for up to 175 million rounds of .223 caliber rifle ammunition"
I don't want to be bleak but I can't decide whether this is going to be a true war on the people, I mean fuck these bullets maybe for beretta's and glocks but what about the .223?
Litany Against Fear
I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.

Love This Post Because It Is Really The Truth..Mittens Has Won
Nothing! We will dictate who the winner will be by continuing to show up in mass at these state conventions..Romney is scared and so are his advisors and campaign staff. He is in a sh#t load of trouble. If Paul runs through the rest of the state delegations, as he has already done so over the last 2 months, Romney is finished!
We must keep the heat on and not stop winning delegates no matter what the TV media is telling their viewing audience...That also goes for the print media..
It's not over until WE say it is over.
You should title your posts
or that which just happened to yours will occur! Ha! Looks like you are saying "Romney Has Won!" in the subject! :p
Accurate or not
I find it very VERY hard to believe that hundreds of thousands of people rally out to the polls to support Mittens when he can barely get 300 to show up and listen to the BS. Hundreds of thousands!!!! No way. Just None.
Anyway, what can we expect when the fake MSM delegate count reaches 1,144?? Must they wait until the final verdict at the convention to actually say with out a doubt or will he still be called "presumptive?" Just curious.
Will You Donate to the Rise for Liberty Money Bomb May 17th?
If you really want to help Ron Paul win delegates at the remaining State Conventions and Primaries the last BIG Money Bomb is at hand May 17th, Rise for Liberty.
It is really simple, are you going to put your hard earned money where you say you stand?
Every Name that goes across the Official Campaign Ticker on May 17th is the Real Ron Paul Supporter.
(unless you have maxed out at $2,500)
Everyone else is just noise.......
Donate for Liberty NOW or certainly on May 17th!!!
Never Surrender
"Liberty must take the day ... nothing shorter" Do you know what it means? If your not talking about LIBERTY what the hell are you taking about? It all flows from this single solitary beautiful inspirational word. As Patrick Henry said it so I say it GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH !!!
We must fight and fight and fight ... then when oue arms are to tired to move when our tongues are to tired to speak when our minds beg for rest ... we rise up and shout LIBERTY and strike the root of the tree of tyranny
WE THE PEOPLE ... are the last best hope for liberty in our time
Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice
I beg of you my fellow patriots FIGHT ON FIGHT ON FIGHT ON
"Liberty must take the day ... nothing shorter"
For Liberty .... CHARGE !!!!!!!!!!!

The ironic/sad part is, the media has the greatest grass roots campaign story in the history of America going on right now and their purposely choose to ignore it.
Americans who are apathetic might actually be motivated if they are aware of what's happening, but sadly, they'll remain the same because they believe no one else cares.

History is hindsight sometimes
Take it from someone who makes a living teaching History. History is often not recognized while it is being made. It IS the study of hindsight. Let future generations look back and see what is currently in the works. They will see 2012 as the year a paradigm shifted, the year that the wall crumbled, the year the giants bled. The year the Republican party was given a colonic at the grass roots level. Only in hindsight will this movement truly be appreciated.

i truly believe all this negativity and uncertainty of many DPers (partially myself included) is that there is such conflicting info. about how many bound delegates are decided by these votes.
is romney gonna have enough BOUND delegates to win the nomination in round 1. because we all know if romney doesn't win in round 1, he's toast.
can RP supporters who are bound to romney abstain in round 1, or vote their conscience, or can states vote to unbind their delegates(if so, why didn't we in Nevada), can there be a floor vote in tampa before round 1 to unbind all delegates,.....?
until there is a consensus answer, or clarification by the campaign, or some sort of consistent answer on these questions, many of us are feeling quite nervous. don't get me wrong, i will still do all i can, give til it hurts to moneybombs, stand in the freezing cold and rain in philly.....whatever i can do, but without clear answers to the above questions, i find myself not discouraged, but a little worried.
Yes, I like that -- Romney is TOAST!
Turn the toaster up!
Get ready to donate til it hurts beginning May 17th!
My payday is the 18th! So, I'll jump on board then.

agreed. i keep telling
agreed. i keep telling myself that maybe the campaign doesn't want me or anyone else to know. maybe this is why doug wead always like he just won the lottery. maybe they got this on lock down and are creeping stealthlike. i trust Dr. Paul, his peeps and my fellow supporters, but damn, uncertainty gives me gas.
