Flagger-Monkeys Win

I see another interesting thread has disappeared, this time on the subject of 9/11. I was going to mention this outrage in my original "Flagger-Monkey" thread, but I couldn't find it. Apparently it too was flagged into oblivion, which is rather ironic to say the least. (Actually, it does still exist, but you can only find it via the search engine. The pink color indicates that it has been wiped out by flagging.)

I'm not so presumptuous to think that anyone will notice my absence, but just in case anyone does: I am logging out until Michael completes the site upgrade, which will hopefully utilize a more sane spam control method, one that does not allow a few people (or even one person with multiple accounts) to control the site. I'll keep DP bookmarked and will happily return once the site has been wrested from the grip of the self-imposed oligarchy that runs this place, but until then I concede defeat. I'm not going to participate in discussions that are continuously squelched.

The flag function is the bane of DP. I'd rather wade through dozens of actual spam, porn links and Viagra ads than have the flag function abused by control-freaks who hate free and open discussion.

(Note: In addition to the threads mentioned here, I was unable to find any threads started by me in the last three weeks. Since I don't remember whether or not I've started any others in that time frame, I'll resist jumping to conclusions there. But if I did create any, it would appear that I have a rather vindictive enemy here at DP.)

Ah well, I made it 22 weeks, which is longer than most. Buh-bye!

P.S. If anyone decides to respond to this, I suggest not posting anything important -- it will almost certainly be gone in a few days, or possibly even hours, depending on when the Monkey-Brigade is on patrol.

I just made a comment, a positive one

on www.dailypaul.com/node/36... by SGP and I mentioned how this forum made a difference to Oregon, with our primary coming up on
May 20th, to our awareness of the delegate process.
My comment looked like spam to them so it is not being posted until the administrator decides. Went door to door for 4 hours today asking businesses and homes on major highways to put up signs - we had nothing but success. Even managed to put some big ones up. Small town, people love Ron Paul "he's the only one that makes sense". Heard that a lot. One business man, who put a big sign up while we were there said "I want everyone to know that I love Ron Paul, because when things get really bad, I want Ron Paul people all around me." God Bless America.

delegate information anyone?

Radio interview of some good points : Look for Monday KNARR March 17th : http://mp3.rprradio.com/1...
KEEP THIS BUMPED EVERY DAY PLEASE!
IMPORTANT : YOU PEOPLE NEED TO IGNORE THE POSTS FROM JHL - SLAPSHOT AND WRELLIM BECAUSE THEY DO NOT HAVE A CLUE WHAT THE HELL THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT.
You must become a delegate now call your county chairman and if they say your timeline is passed become an alternate delegate they are just as important.
I was an administrator for the Democratic party for over 6 years and i am well educated in the nomination process, I left the party to support Dr. Paul so i know what i am talking about.
Our founding fathers set the system up like this to assure that we would not have false or fruadulent support for a candidate thus forcing THE PEOPLE to become involved in the election process and to show actual support for thier candidate.
They wanted to make sure they would protect us from VOTE FRAUD and to make sure that a candidate did not win a beauty contest but instead win an election.
Any candidate and thier supporters can do exactly what we are doing if they chose to do so and i am sure from the reports we have received that Mccain does not have real support or he would have the delegates he needs registered as delegates to vote for him in the up coming convention.
If you doubt my post go and research it yourself PLEASE here : http://www.gop.com/images...
PLEASE EVERYONE COPY AND SEND THIS TO THIER EMAIL LIST AND MEETUP HEADS AND ANY OTHER RON PAUL FORUM THERE IS.
If you can be a delegate because it is too late to register you can still help us at the convention.

I know many of you are new to the election process but don't worry.
I am going to go into some depth of how this all works so read and then read again if you need to.
Did you know that the delegates can actually vote to unbind thier delegates that are bound by state rules?
Did you know that delegates can actually overturn and previous vote?
Did you know the delegates have control of the entire process?
The MSM is not reporting how to become the nominee in a situation like this so i will tell you to stop getting your info from the MSM.
I know many of you are bummed about Dr. Paul not getting more votes in the states popular vote BUT THAT IS BECAUSE YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THE ELECTION SYSTEM WORKS : Let me explain to you the reality of how to become the nominee.
First stop looking at who wins each states popular vote for most of these states the vote by the people is really nothing but a straw poll and have no real bearing on who will become the nominee. The only way this matters is if 1 person receives 1191 delegates that are bound by state rules to be commited to that candidate. So if a candiate like Mccain now has 906 delegates now but he doesn't reach 1191 WHICH HE WILL NOT most of the delegates the state awarded him mean nothing and keep in mind in most of the states most of the people that represent the 906 for Mccain are actually Ron Paul supporters. NOW there is no possible way that anyone in the race can achieve this goal now because of the major split in state wins by the candidates.
Normally Convention Delegates do not matter because the convention is not brokered and we have a clear winner because someone has 1191 delegates. BUT THIS YEAR IS DIFFERENT. This will be a brokered convention there is no way around it. Do you see how the ronpaul campaign strategy will work.
When a candidate wins delegates by winning a primary that does not mean there are actual people that won acting as delegates- these are virtual delegates.
What do I mean by virtual delegates: A virtual delegate is just a number - there are no actual people YET that will go and vote for the candidate who won the particular state at the national convention. We call these people convention delegates
The actual delegates are voted on (in most states) at a statewide delegate caucus after the Primary (which is just a giant preference poll) Who can be delegates? Anyone. In closed Primary states they must be registered Republicans, in Open Primary states they can be Republicans, Democrats, Independents.
View the hard count of actaul pledged delegates here : http://www.thegreenpapers...
And we have lots of delegates.
Out of the 2,380 delegates sent to Minneapolis St. Paul in September-
-463 delegates are bound all the way through the convention some of those 463 are Ron Pauls people.
- 565 delegates will be bound through one ballot. That is, they have to follow the results of the state election on the first ballot. After that, if no candidate has a majority of delegates, they are free to vote as they please and Mccain will not receive over 50% on the first ballot.
- 383 will be bound through two ballots then they are free to vote for whom they wish.
- 318 will be bound through three ballots then they are free to vote for whom they wish.
I am not going to list every state and what the break downs are, just do the math from these numbers or look for yourself here :
http://www.gop.com/Images...
Bottom line is less than 1/2 of the delegates are bound by state party rules. Now do you see how we can win this thing?
So what happens now you ask? You look at the number of delegates that Dr. Paul has that are uncommited to the other candidates and will support him. these delegates are not decided by the popular vote ie: straw poll of the people. Since no one will have enough delegates to skate them through to the nomination we now must look at how many delegates NOT VOTES but delegates Dr. Paul has that are 100% uncommited to the other candidates and will be 100% for Dr. Paul and are free to vote for whom they wish.
This race will go all the way to the convention for there is no other way for someone to receive the nomintaion untill the convention.
The RNC will convene its annual Winter Meeting - and voters will continue to cast their ballots in the nation's primaries and caucuses. Candidates for delegate and alternate delegate to the convention will be elected - and thousands of convention participants and guests will begin planning their trips to Minneapolis-Saint Paul The first week in September 2008
SO WHAT DOES ALL THIS MEAN?
This means that all of the people that registered to become a deligate for Dr. Paul can go to the convention and cast thier vote for Dr. Paul, now think about what i just said : Do you think for one second that all the people that voted for Dr. Paul and filed to become a deligate will not show up at the convention to vote for the good Doctor? Of course they will just like they battled the rain and the sleet and the 15 below zero winter weather to knock on doors and wave signs spreading our message.
Now i assure you that even though we didn't win the popular vote in many states WE DID PICK UP THE MAJORITY OF DELEGATES THAN ALL THE OTHER CANDIDATES IN MOST EVERY STATE EXCEPT A FEW. So yes they won the straw poll and we won what counts which is delegates.
Doesn't Dr. Paul need to WIN 5 states to be on the ballot at the convention for the nomination?
NO THIS IS NOT TRUE for people were just confused on how it actually works.
We only need the majority of delegates from 5 states to be put on the ballot NOT THE POPULAR VOTE OF 5 STATES and i assure you we have picked up the majority of uncommitted delegates for Dr. Paul in more than 5 states.
Do any of you remember seeing posts by myself and many others that said BECOME A DELEGATE? There is still time in most states to become a delegate for the convention and we are picking up more of them every day.
So please STOP! you worry too much because you do not understand how the election system works and you thought we lost didn't you? I assure you we have not!
The fact is Dr. Paul is a genius in his strategy and we are further ahead in delegates than you think and we can win the nomination.
I hope this gives a better understanding of how we have been winning even though most of you thought we were not.
NOW LET'S KEEP WORKING FILE TODAY AND BECOME A DELEGATE BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!

keep passin' round that ammo, soldier!

What gets deleted?

I think people would be a lot less annoyed if they knew what they could post about and what not. I don't really know what's allowed here and what gets deleted; some truther threads get deleted and others don't. Some threads where people are having an argument stay and others are deleted. Also there must be some way of deleting offending threads before they have 80 posts on them or getting people to delete the posts that are offensive and not whole threads.

I think Admin REALLY REALLY needs to make a permanent post giving a clearer idea of what's allowed and what's not.

Not your fault

No, we are under cyber-attack! your vanishing posts have NOTHING to do with other honest posters flagging you --- somebody is wholesale deleting threads and posts all through the Daily Paul today!

Your right about the wholesale thing...

Remember the past as you look forward to today...

Farewell my Electronic Friend... :-)

I'e had all kinds of stuff removed or vanish. I've noticed some names assoc. 2 the threads in each instance ect. If ya get this, was'nt it you who gave me that link to a vid. that reviewed the 5 major forms of gov? It narrowed things down to a republic... In ending, I believe the childish monkey seems to be very verbal and can't keep from swearing. It just displays thier intellect. I'll see ya friend...

Remember the past as you look forward to today...

Please elaborate, and tell

Please elaborate, and tell us what happened! This is all rather cryptic. It would be good for us to know if something nefarious is happening here.

4 one thing, I can't track my posts, but..

I've been told its a defect of the software? I try to click on my name to review my posts but nothing comes up or a not available default page is displayed. When we found out about dady's illiness, "someone" remarked about a podiatrist giving out information related to the homyopathic field of med. For laughter I said I had talked to a podiatrist for a couple hours and my foot fell asleep :-) :-) I like the readers digest said believe laughter is the best med. I left the "ronpaul warrom" site after finding out people could steal names. I hope they fix this, or I'll be leaving soon myself. Though I will continue to "SPREAD THE MSG." Thanks

Remember the past as you look forward to today...

It was not me =(

*** God bless Ron Paul ***

Now Here's Poetic Justice For A Person

Vote RON PAUL 2008
________________
Just as I was encouraging you -- I turn around and a thread I started this morning regarding 9/11 and RON PAUL (I gave six video clips to start it off) // It was receiving many follow up postings -- well --

It too got deleted. Damn!

Yes and it was making headway.

We can all say what needs to be done, but who here lead by example today?

I Seriously Like Your Attitude --

Vote RON PAUL 2008
_________________
I also noticed the disappearance of a certain thread -- no big deal, there is plenty of computer screen and keyboard for any one of us to continue where that stuff left off. If the situation becomes way too obvious (censorship) -- then that's another matter. But I can understand some of our 9/11 stuff getting a bit out of control, lot of passion usually generated in any one of those threads. It does seem to attrack the nut jobs among us ;-P

Invariably there comes along certain fellow Posters who would take our freedom of thought and freedom of expression away from us -- I've had it raise it's ugly head at me repeatedly and read it aimed towards others here as well. When they speak up // We should listen -- not agree, just listen. It's nice to know your enemy for all kinds of reasons.

But again I would encourage you to hang around and lend what is obviously your mature and educated insight to this forum, otherwise what would be will be turned over to those that would have you leave in the first place. They win through attrition -- and they shouldn't win at all.

Freedom of thought -- freedom of expression:
-- I thought that was at the very heart of what this forum was all about. I still want to believe that. As to electing RON PAUL -- Hey, that's what the voting booth is all about; I mention that because some have given that as reason not to be speaking your mind on subjects 'they consider' waaaay wrong and not contributing to this end. Stay, sit; Post onwards Forum Member -- .

Pooh Bear

Sorry to see you go. I've generally enjoyed your thoughtful and informative posts. Never demurring from controversy myself, I would only flag those posts that strayed from argument into ad hominem assault. No matter what I may think of you personally, I will only address your arguments.
