Though this article doesn't state it, I believe Lincoln only had 22 delegates (Someone correct me if I am wrong) going into the convention and he was the underdog......sound familiar? ......And guess who wound up winning?

This is a good example of what a brokered convention will be like. So hold on folks, we have a long road ahead......and please forget about the media and all of the crap they spew.....RP is till very much in this, BUT IT IS UP TO US TO BECOME DELEGATES!!!!!

yeah, Lincoln's fraud was the "not inspiring" part of the story. Liked the rest, though.

The man in question is much more honorable and has SAVING our nation on his agenda. (see Dr. Thomas DiLorenzo's book - The Real Lincoln, written by one of Dr. Paul greatest supporters)

Jesus is the saviour of the WHOLE WORLD, "As in Adam all die, so too in Christ ALL shall be made alive." (ICor.15:22) All means all. The pagan 'hell' of literal fire & eternal torment is a lie and is SPIRITUAL TERRORISM. http://www.hopebeyondhell.net/blog
