Treason, NOT Fraud

Any deliberate action which impedes a democratic voting process is an act of treason, not fraud. Fraud is associated with an illegal act for personal gain. The outcome of the election defines the lives and deaths (in case of another undeclared war) of our countrymen. It should be considered as a covert act of violating the rights of all Americans and as many of us know it is done to support a foreign entity, international banks and Israel's Zionist regime.

An affidavit requested by the very people who are rigging elections results is a desperate act of a minority to hold on to power, not only it's illegal, it's pathetic. This signifies the increasing weakness of their position.

Using word TREASON instead of FRAUD when it comes to election rigging will make some people think twice before they will do something stupid.

P.S. No illusions, please. Maddow doesn't give a s**t about freedom, her role is to portray republicans as morons and Ron Paul supporters as clinically insane. Some episodes are designed to give her more credibility and when the naive public is ready for more that's when the most vial lies and propaganda will come out.

well at least

this Disgusting act got SOME media coverage. I guess Mitt Romney's Reputation is too critical right now to report this event all over the news as it well deserves!

Ron Paul IS The Golden Standard

What is Capitalism?

Careful...

...we all wanna believe things are changing, but I'm nearly certain Maddow's only goal is to make the GOP look unstable. I believe she is using the Ron Paul campaign as leverage in doing so. I doubt she cares one iota about Ron Paul or his supporters.

Ron Paul Desciples?

Electoral fraud/Coercion

Electoral fraud is illegal interference with the process of an election. Acts of fraud affect vote counts to bring about an election result, whether by increasing the vote share of the favored candidate, depressing the vote share of the rival candidates, or both.

Coercion is the practice of forcing another party to behave in an involuntary manner (whether through action or inaction) by use of threats or intimidation or some other form of pressure or force. In law, coercion is codified as the duress crime. Such actions are used as leverage, to force the victim to act in the desired way.

Thank you, Rachel

She's probably not a Ron Paul fan, but I think she is a fan of young people becoming inspired and engaged by politics (regardless of their specific orientation). To anyone who cares about the US as a whole, and not just their narrow "side," voter engagement is always good.

The common enemy here is a political establishment that uses illegal tactics to deliberately create apathy and drive people away from caring about politics. It's completely destructive not just to the Republican party, but to the health of the Republic.

Voter engagement is great.

Voter engagement is great. Now if we could only make sure that their votes count!

goppy gop

you are in a war all war is DECEPTION

Why isn't?

Why isn't the Ron Paul campaign doing something about this? Why don't we file a case against the Massachusetts Republican Party in federal court?
We fight for you!

Credentials challenge at Tampa

Please tell me that our people are going to challenge the delegates that replaced the properly elected delegates before the National Credentials Committee?

GOP Judicial Committee

One would think that a loyalty oath to a single candidate would violate any such loyalty oath to the party... disqualifying anyone who took both oaths.

Something to bring up with the Judicial Committee of the GOP (I assume they have one).

What do you think? http://consequeries.com/

This is merely

the left laying some early groundwork for attacking the GOP and Romney(if he's nominated) later on down the road.

It will be good ammo that their "god" Obama can use in his re-election campaign.
There's no intent to be "pro-Ron Paul" in this. It's just anti-GOP material.

Good enough

for me. I just re-enrolled into the anti-republican party. Romney and Scott Brown are my top two targets.

Who would ever have thought

that Rachel Maddow is doing a better job of embracing Ron Paul supporters (some of the time) than the republican party. Dare I say I LLL... LLLLL... LLLLiiiii... Like her (sometimes).

Kind of makes you wonder what

Kind of makes you wonder what her motives are... is it because she thinks that by helping RP supporters it hurts Romney (and therefore helps Obama)... or if she truly likes and respects Ron Paul and his supporters

Either way, I'm glad she's helping

She's Always Happy When the GOP Screws Up

She's been glad to expose their treatment of Ron Paul supporters all along.

Yeah sure.....inspiring

It's good overall what she said. Thanks Rachel.

Real eyes realize real lies

2012, we want our country back

2012 is the year for Ron Paul!

Excellent..

commentary. Thank you Rachel.

The Granger's picture

MSM twisting things

When I was seated on my Central Committee, I had to take a loyalty oath. It seems like protocol to me, nothing more.

The problem the GOP has is they do not have their central/state committee seats filled. This is where delegates normally come from, or a connection on the central committee. My County should have 21 seated (Ron Paul) Republicans, but it only has eight seats taken. I'm the only Ron Paul Republican. Where are you guys?

People are going to conventions, not a seated memebrs, but just signing up to be delegates. It is not fair to the people who had to go through the process, take a loyalty oath, for others to have all the rights and privledges and to not take a loyalty oath.

It's like if Daily Paul made YOU register and promise not to post spam, but some folks saw a way to show up to Daily paul and then post spam. People would complain, that it's not fair.

Daily Paul could try to right things by asking the spammers to sign the same agreement and then they could say, we're taking you to court for breaking the law by stopping us from our freedom of speach.

The way to have change is getting on a central committee. Then everyone would be having to vote for Ron Paul. If only 7 Ron Paul Republicans had done what Ron Paul asked, and joined my central committee, we would have forced the Neos to vote for Ron Paul with the loyalty oath, and we would still have open seats.

MSM and TPTB want a NWO global government and it looks to me that what is happening is by not following protocal, by being spammers to the GOP, we are the ones who are going to give the ptb exactly what they want.

STAND WITH RAND 2016

Someone tell Rachael that

Someone tell Rachael that Romney does not have the nomination yet.

Not just Maddow

BUT THE ENTIRE MEDIA AS WELL!

For The Power of The Republic!

Rights

In any contract or in this case a pledge which is a contract it maybe a good idea to always guard and demand your rights by adding after your signed name “without prejudice” or “all rights reserved”. No honest person should object to you desiring to reserve your rights.

This is an outrage. Someone

This is an outrage. Someone should invade that country and bring democracy to it's people!

I second the BCE vote

Absolutely spot on. Add to the headline how many people this month were killed by law enforcement in that country. I am willing to bet it is close to Syria. Just guessing - but I would put money on it.

Thank You Fishy !!!

normal

Normal business practice these days.

When companies hire these days, workers routinely sign documents giving up many rights to get the job.

I.E. complying with business practices, etc.

You think if RP had a party, would neocons be allowed to have delegates seated at a convention?

Obedience is worship

Strange

For someone from a foreign land the democratic process in the US is strange... and scary, when hearing this story from Mass. Not OK considering you want to establish free people all over the globe. You want this system there as well? Wrong forum to challenge but guess you see where I am coming from....
Good luck!

It is actually legal to dismiss the delegates in the state of

Massachusetts. What is NOT LEGAL is trying to get them to sign a loyalty oath as at the nationals they are free to vote their conscience. As it was done, this is electoneering, which is illegal.

The MSM news going to fade

The MSM news going to fade and we are going to need good reporting in the 4th branch. After her anti-war book, she has to be a closet Ron Paul fan stuck in an MSNBC body.

I live in LA and nobody I know even has cable TV anymore, the common answer is internet, Netflix and Hulu.
