PS- Does anyone know any

PS- Does anyone know any good John Mccain/ Barack Obama forums that we can go harass? Because their people seem to be infilitrating our forum quite often...

Visit the U.S. National Debt Clock

Obama fans get the F out of here. Let the supposed R3VOLUTION voters decide for themselves! I highly doubt Ron Paul fans will cast votes for Obama. Although he is "anti- iraq war" most Paul fans (or atleast I hope this to be true) are enlightened to the fact that OBAMA WANTS TROOPS IN IRAN! WTF?!?!?! So woopty doo, he is against Iraq. What we are realy upset is the money that is being spent and is plunging our country into debt. And if we go to IRAN the spending will continue.

VOTE RON PAUL NO MATTER WHAT!!!

You're right!

The Devils Choice

On June 4th, 2008 Treg says:

It also appears that the GOP would be foolish to just “assume” the typical R3VOLution voter will just "hold their nose" and vote for McCain at the General election.

Given a very tight Presidential race, and the choice of:

Pro Iraq War McCain
VS
Anti Iraq War Obama

The R3VOLUTION voter just may vote Obama.

If the R3VOLution COLLECTIVELY agrees with Dr Paul that the most troubling moral transgression of our times has been the failure to stick to the Christian JUST WAR Theory and condemn the invasion of Iraq for what it is, with their vote for Obama, the R3VOLution could deliver a seriously painful Slap to the Republican Party and change the course of American History.

...and the R3VOLUTION...

voter just might NOT vote for obama...no, let's say this R3VOLUTION voter will absolutely NOT vote for obama...

RP or NO ONE in 2008!
GORP!

please go to the daily obama to tout your candidate because i'm tired of hearing you preach for him here...as is most everyone else!

I can't help but be more

On June 4th, 2008 Skyorbit says:

I can't help but be more then a little MAD at the Campaign right now.

We worked our butts off. And in the places where we had a presence (Hamlin, Duel County, Yankton) we did really well. But we were short-boddied in Sioux Falls (where I'm at) and Rapid City. There's like 50+ Precincts right in Sioux Falls.

I know the high tide ad had some effect. The ruel areas that are less likely to have cable, all voted over 20% and some as high as 30%.

But we need 20% to get any delegates. If the campaign had just been willing to spend some money here -- or have Ron Visit! We would have made up those extra 3 points we needed easily.

As it was, we couldn't even get there Events coordinator to Return our e-mails.

There budget Request person Debbie Hopper, had to fight tooth and nail just to get $3,500 for Robo Calls!

If he'd been willing to spend, just $10,000 more -- perhaps put a couple of those lame TV ads in the 15 different cable networks around the state, so that people who don't watch network TV and therefor missed the ALC ad, woudl have been exposed to him too, we would have easily made up that 3%.

Turnout was terrible! We only needed like, another 1,800-2000 votes! Only 60,000 of 240,000 registered Republicans showed up at the polls. Some of those 60,000 would have voted Ron Paul instead of Huccabee if they'd known Paul was still Running. And we would have just had higher Paul turnout in general.

I feel your pain. But congratulations!

On June 4th, 2008 spacehabitats says:

I've been telling the campaign (as much as I could through the nonexistent channels of communication) for months that we would have a golden opportunity to WIN A PRIMARY in these last few states.

See "Winning a primary -- a crazy idea whose time has come."

http://www.dailypaul.com/...

Four visits by Ron Paul to any of the the following states could have doubled or tripled the vote: Nebraska, Oregon, Idaho, South Dakota, New Mexico.
He had the money, he had the time, he owed it to all of us that worked so hard against such terrible odds.

Again I think we should congratulate ourselves for our efforts (apparently unappreciated and definitely unsupported) that yielded these results.

Congratulations!

Sad but True

If the Campaign didn't have the funds in the bank then it could not do what is being suggested here. Since the Campaign has the funds in the bank then there is no ex cuss for not spending just a little and this disturbs me greatly! Aloha

There is only 108 signatures on this letter as of right now...this is a great letter, please read, sign and forward to your friends.

Because it's pure javascript.

On June 4th, 2008 MichaelMcC says:

The site has nothing but opaque javascript. So lots of people with malware filters on can't even look at it.

(For instance, I'm running Firefox with adblock plus, noscript, and flashblock. Noscript means it won't show at all. And looking at the source I don't see any easy way to view the text without reverse-engineering the whole site.)

You want the broadest audience possible to get the most signatures. There is NO reason to use javascript AT ALL for a petition. You can do such a site trivially in pure HTML. And it SHOULD be in pure HTML to maximize your audience - both by supporting more types and versions of browsers and avoiding malware filters.

When collecting petition signatures you're a beggar. You need to make it easy and safe for people to contribute.

Why are people even still

On June 3rd, 2008 sempiternal says:

Why are people even still voting for McCain?

To show submission and compliance?

Or is it just the name they recognize as "the winner."

Why?

On June 4th, 2008 thedizzle says:

They're not. Did you see the MAYBE 200 people at McCainiac's "speech" last night? Even a CNN commentator had to make a remark about nobody being there... This whole thing was and is rigged.

I AGREE!! THE PROBLEM IS IF WE COULD JUST PROVE IT

BEYOND A SHADOW OF A DOUBT!!!There would be mass riots , or at the least a long over due civil war!!(which would not be so civil)

Ron Paul Turns in Signatures to Appear on Montana
Republican Primary Ballot

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA – Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul’s campaign has collected the signatures necessary to appear on the ballot for the June 3, 2008 Montana Republican primary.

His message of true fiscal conservatism and traditional conservative principles is being embraced in our state," said David Hart, Montana state coordinator for the Ron Paul campaign. "Dr. Paul also gained public endorsements from eleven of Montana's most conservative and respected legislators.”

The Texas congressman came in second place with 25% of the vote in the Montana Presidential Preference Caucus held February 5th and continues to enjoy fervent support among many Republicans in Montana.
