Let us remember...

Diebold is winning the primaries. MSM is winning the "delegates".

The Ron Paul Revolution is winning the real delegate process and changing the GOP.

We will have a "Democrat" as President this election. He or She will move troops around, hand out entitlements and "stimulate" the economy like a good neocon or socialist does and make things just that more worse.

We Revolutionaries will be the leadership positioned to take over in the crisis. We are winning delegate seats, locally, by State and in September at National Convention. Far and wide, whether GOP, Constitutional Party, Independent, etc, the movement grows. Ron Paul Revolutionaries are winning Congressional seats. His book is #1. Rallies continue. Negative press ensues.

It is all good people, keep up the hard work and REVOLT.

Got to love it....

The Revolution is alive and well!

Why he can't win

This site was posted a lot because it supposedly showed how Ron Paul could win the nomination:

http://www.thegreenpapers...

Well, now it clearly shows McCain has won the nomination.

vissud - you troll

you've been signed on for 2 minutes -- still worried about Ron Paul taking over your McCain Repubs, are you? Well, you certainly should be. Now run along to your Fascist Neocon regime while the rest of us try to take our country back.

Read the web page

I'm just pointing out the fact that Ron Paul won't win the nomination. I'm not voting for McCain btw, and that fact has no bearing on Ron Paul taking 35 million dollars and winning virtually no delegates.

My vote has always been a NO to the Establishment.

I always voted for third party candidates in protest to this mockery we call a democratic election. Two sides of the sames coin is no choice at all.

This time I voted and will once again vote for Ron Paul regardless if he's on any ticket. It's my personal revolution. It me not whispering but I'm screaming Ron Paul is my President!!! That's what this means to me. I registered for the first time in my life and it seems I am not alone. RP's people are determined and we're not going anywhere.

Both parties are corrupt to the core, infested by globalist who coincidenatly are represented in all the other remaining candidates. It's funny how it always turns out that way... isn't it? We always end up with nothing but trouble.

Does anybody know when they inverted the stars on the GOP logo? I didn't get the memo.

yes troll

isnt it funny 35 million no delegates even you can realize somthing is very wrong here I bet Ron Paul had 10 times the amount of votes through out the primariies that were fraudulantly stolen from him.

Hey JACK ASS

You are in the wrong company to be poppin those gums.

Many of us here tried to be delegates so check yourself before you try to do anything.

The GOP is really trying to screw us, just look at NEVADA.

Ron Paul

never came close to winning any state and doesn't deserve any delegates. The people have spoken, and they've said, they don't want anyone who writes racist newsletters.

http://www.chron.com/CDA/...

" A campaign spokesman for Paul said statements about the fear of black males mirror pronouncements by black leaders such as the Rev. Jesse Jackson, who has decried the spread of urban crime.

Paul continues to write the newsletter for an undisclosed number of subscribers, the spokesman said."

- Houston Chronicle 1996, where Ron Paul's campaign admits he was the author.

Get lost, he was robbed and

Get lost, he was robbed and Diebold knows it. He deserves to more than any other Candidate out there. The Rest are CFR losers and you are a loser.

I'm in Kentucky; some

I'm in Kentucky; some counties here had higher percentages for Ron Paul; I believe one had 24% Ours was over 18%, and a neighboring county, as well.

But the actual numbers are small - the main problem in our area is that all of the local politics run on the Democratic ticket, and we have closed primaries. So everyone registers as a Democrat, even though they vote for a Republican president in November. Our primaries are not representative of who people want as president.

Arrgh..

I know... I KNOW! It was like pulling teeth to get people to register Republican in my county in KY.

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

This Oregonian Says . . .

Whatever strategy we personally choose in the coming general election -- know this. The GOP is a tool that Revolutionaries can use to take over chairmanships, committees and the power base that is needed to help our bold leaders take and hold ground in the future.

Candidates are the air war. The PCP positions and key choke points inside the GOP are the ground war. You can't hold ground in an air war. The enemy remains in place and we don't have political nukes.

The relative success in Oregon is due to two allied forces -- people in the GOP who want change and people outside the GOP who want change. Separated, we will fail. Together, we can grow and succeed.

None of the strategies people are talking about for the general election require us to change party -- in fact quite the opposite. To remain truly Revolutionary, you do need to be registered Republican for several election cycles to assist in the revolution inside the GOP. You won't be supporting the GOP as we know it. If you stay connected, you're helping kill the cancer.

If we hold chairmanships, committee posts and essential resource control positions in the GOP, they can't shut us out ever again. This is all quite possible. I've done the math. We WILL HAVE a supermajority in my county in the next election cycle if Ron Paul supporters stick together for another two years. We'll be in a position to run the party by the next presidential election. My county sends more people to our Congressional District Convention than any other county in our district. At the convention, we send one of five sets of delegates forward to the national convention

Hopefully, you get the picture. The future is ours, if we are bold enough to take it.

With the caveat above, we all know that Ron Paul supports every effort to support liberty from inside any party. He's on record supporting every effort. He just sees the GOP as the most likely avenue if we move in as planned.

I agree with Ron Paul. I share his vision. It is not a pipe dream.

So, don't forget what follows. This is old. But, it makes clear that the battle for the GOP was the Ron Paul 2008 battle plan, is the battle plan, will be the battle plan.

"What you are now, as a movement, is a new force within the Republican Party. And you have the opportunity to continue to bring people into the message of liberty and to the message of restoring the Republic. And you have the opportunity of moving that influence all through the Republican Party, if you've been involved in the delegate process. . . . We want you to move forward with this."

Ron Paul 2008

Yes, it's strategy, not religious dogma. But it is real. I encourage you to stay in this fight as a united force.

Ky Primary

DON'T BLAME ME, I VOTED FOR RON!!!

Looking at the number of registered Republicans in Ky which is a little over 1 million, only about 19% of them voted. I was really disappointed by the low turnout. 72% of that 19% voted for McCain. Ron came in 3rd. What gets me is people are all talking about Ron Paul around me but when it comes down to it, they tell me they think Ron Paul doesn't have a chance so they are going to vote for McCain. WTF!?! What kind of logic is that??? I tell them, Ron Paul will win if you vote for him. What's wrong with you? Did you take a stupid pill today?

Talk about brainwashed sheep! sheesh! The news media has done their job well brainwashing the masses..

They need to read his book...

That's right

When you talk to people one on one they aren't stupid. Ignorant maybe, but not stupid. They will readily agree Paul is better. But it takes TIME and effort before they get over that "he doesn't have a chance" hump.

The majority will agree Paul is better but vote for McCain anyway. They are voting how most people vote, by how they feel, not how they think. Don't give up though, this a long term project. Keep talking to your neighbors. Keep displaying your support. Keep providing proof positive of why Paul is better. Every day I see new people who are mad that they were late to the party. It's ok, it's going to take many months, probably years, to effectively reach enough people.

And if you have the resources, buy several copies of his book and give them away to those who you know are interested and who you know will be effective partners and share the information with others.

Same up here...

...in Canada. That is the same mentality of the voters here. The majority of people are truly retarded. I have never understood the reasoning of "strategic voting as opposed to voting for who/what you believe in. EXTREMELY maddening!
Argggg.
I'm just glad there are some thinking people around like you. Thanks.

Yeah I know its sad.

Yeah I know its sad.

They don't like being

They don't like being associated with "losers" (this is their mental state, not mine). They cannot bring themselves to defend their own decisions, so they simply vote with the majority. Typical chicken reaction.

There's a term for such people.

The mathematical psychologists call them "dishonest voters".

They make the math fiendishly complicated. B-(

50,000 patriots in Oregon!

Way to go Oregon!

Exit Polls

Ummm, are there any Exit Polls for the Republicans? I see the Dems have them at the cnn web pages. I smell a rat.....again.

Of course Gnat60

the results of the Exit polls wouldn't match up with the DRE machine results and would require much explaining.

Same old "same-old"

We tried, but apathy has eaten the souls from these people. To save this republic, I'm afraid we'll have to get some misunderstanings to develop. Know your friends right now, and watch your words.

"While there is life there is hope"

In the future they will look back at this time in history and realize that we are at a crossroads. We should take a lesson from those who were involved in the first American Revolution. Remember that the Declaration of Independence was written in 1776, the British surrendered at Yorktown in 1782 and the Constitution was written and ratified in 1789 when George Washington was elected as the first president. There were ideological struggles all along the way.

Ron Paul has told us that at least we have a history of being a Constitutional Republic at the beginning. The word democracy does not appear at all in any of the founding documents. Benjamin Franklin pointed out when asked that they created a Republic and that should be our goal.

Those of us who truly value living in such a free society and are willing to participate in its re-creation need to be armed with the best intellectual ammunition. Too many books have been recommended. Some are more valuable than others. My own personal choices include Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged, her essays in The Virtue of Selfishness and Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal, and For the New Intellectual. Tom Paine's Common Sense and The Age of Reason. Ludwig von Mises' Planning for Freedom and Planned Chaos, Henry Hazlitt's Economics in One Lesson, Murray Rothbard's books. Armentano's books on Antitrust are a must. Just browse www.mises.org and www.lfb.org
www.theobjectivistcenter.... Of course, Ron Paul's books as well.

My point is that the knowledge exists, although we in the movement still disagree about quite a few things such as the abortion thing, but we are in agreement when it comes to essentials: individual freedom, limited government, free enterprise,
and a Constitutional Republican form of government which is being ignored today.

If we each realize we are not alone in this endeavor and that it is the task of each of us to arm ourselves with the knowledge we need to reason, persuade and convince others each of us encounter in our lives. Our numbers will grow, the dialog in the country will change to include our point of view, the next generation will rally to our side and the day will come when we elect enough of our best to office at every level to get the country back on track and on the correct course. There is no short cut but having reason on our side assures our victory if each of us contributes as a member of an army of at least one million spreading the word and passing the torch.

Buy the books. Read the books. Tell your friends. Talk to strangers. Do not despair if others disagree. We are right. There are no contradictions in the universe.
