Only 10% reported so far, so there's still room for some movement since voting preferences vary by district. Maybe a few points, anyway.

Clinton is beating Obama 40 to 36 with 15% in. This is going to be a wild ride.

I'm glad to see the balls are still in the air. I think the the AM hate machine would shred Obama like a head of lettuce and give us at least four years of McCain.

I could have bought an AR-15 for $600 a couple weeks ago, but really feel like I should get a secure gun cabinet before doing anything like that, and probably a home security system. Since I spend half my waking life at work, it just seems easier to not keep an AR-15 next to my bed, I'm hoping if anyone ever decides to break into my house the 1/4 Siamese cat will sing for them, making their blood run cold.

If Paul can pull 10% in a Republican primary with the goob foolers aligned against him, I think he would actually have a chance as an independent. It's too bad he isn't considering this.

There's a good chance it's going to come down to Hillary vs McCain. Hillary's not going to pull away goobs conditioned to hate Hillary on command no matter how much they dislike the war. Paul could pull from both sides.

Clinton is waxing Obama. I think the Dems are seriously thinking about what the candidate has to face. Clinton has already been demonized by the goob foolers and she's still standing. And she is at the end of the cycle. Obama is just starting to be swiftboated.

I saw a thing today where the people in New Hampshire were shocked at how vicious the Hume, Limbaugh, Savage and the other goob foolers could be after only one day - they were telling the goobs the Obama was a muslim who was sworn in on the Koran, he was gay, etc. I think this is what moved the vote back to Clinton. People expect the Reublican Party to tell whoppers about Clinton and it just rolls off.

If anyone other than Paul wins the Republican nomination, the bots and bible thumpers can thank themselves for AT LEAST 4 years of Hillary Clinton or Barak Obama, for all of the smears and flak they threw out towards the ONLY viable candidate that would have honored his oath of office and did what was best for this Nation and her People.

Apparently, many of the Independents and young voters decided to vote for Obama rather than Ron Paul due to their not hearing Dr. Paul's message or understanding what he stood for. Little do they know they'll just be getting another GW Bush if he becomes president.

no it is not a fact
Ron Paul was only 3 points behind McCain in Iowa
and is only 3 points behind Huckabee now

and Huckabee won Iowa
and McCain is doing so well in NH

in any case as I posted above, for me the meaning of the NH election
depends on a true interpretation
and tomorrow we will all put our heads together and come up with a true interpretation

Is $600 too much to pay for an AR-15? I remember remarking how something like that would put the fear of God into burglars, but once I got back to RP table was reminded that if I shot off something like in my neighborhood that it would go through four or five houses.

Let's face it: Thanks to the efforts of GWB and Dick Cheney, there is not going to be another Republican president for at least 20 years, minimum, and quite possibly a lot longer than that. All any Democratic candidate for any office is going to have to say for the next 20 years will be "Bush, Cheney, Bush, Cheney, Bush, Cheney" in reply to any and all questions, and that's it, they'll win any election for any office anywhere. Bush and Cheney have contaminated the brand that badly. The damage may be irreparable.

I think it's actully pretty good. He's dealing with the real butt sniffers here. People who think Fox News is a news program. And he's still pulling 10%. These people listen to Hume, Hannity and Limbaugh and even after the demonization 10% break ranks and vote for Paul.

In addition 45% hate Clinton and they will be up for grabs. Many know the war is silly and they're not going to like McCain.

If we take this to mean that 10% of the American population KNOWS what real freedom is and KNOWS what's wrong with the established politics and monetary policy then that's a real wonderful sign, really.

Unified and organized, 10% of a population can do a hell of a lot.

I don't understand NH's affection for McCrazy. I don't think MIC has anything to do with it frankly. McCain won New Hampshire when he ran against dubya in 2000. And one would think the MIC folks would love both of them equally.

McCain's continued popularity in NH is a puzzling one.

Only President Ron Paul would go up against the miltiary industrial complex
all the others would do exactly what the MIC wants

New Hampshire is not an emblem of the country
at one time they were libertarian minded
but too many from Boston and NYC moved there
they have become typical of New England voters

it is significant that Iowa voted for Huckabee, because of his message
and they interpreted his message as "time to get someone in there who is not part of the establishment"
they voted populist

Iowa reflects much more the majority of our country
and Ron Paul is the true populist and truly outside the establishment

I don't understand NH's affection for McCrazy. I don't think MIC has anything to do with it frankly. McCain won New Hampshire when he ran against dubya in 2000. And one would think the MIC folks would love both of them equally.

McCain's continued popularity in NH is a puzzling one.

you read my mind...

Well from the state of AZ time to dig up Impeach McCain bumper stickers again .....never in the history of man have so many been confused by so few.

"Only the Most Deluded of Us Could Doubt the Necessity of This War" --- Sen. John McCain Tuesday, Aug. 31, 2004

"The nice thing about Alzheimer's is you get to hide your own Easter eggs". --- Sen. John McCain to reporters on a campaign trip.

"Do you know why Chelsea Clinton is so ugly? Because Janet Reno is her father." --- Sen. John McCain June 1998 Republican fund-raiser

Thank God for our form of government. The media won't let there be any cover-up. ---John McCain (remember the Keating 5?)

“I think we finally have a poll without a margin of error, ... We have sent a powerful message to Washington: Change is coming.” ---John McCain (could he be the change?)

" I would not support repeal of Roe v. Wade, which would then force X number of women in America to [undergo] illegal and dangerous operations." ---John McCain Washington Post: Tuesday, August 24, 1999

A finale note will some tell those in NH to drop its "live free or die" motto....

Is $600 too much to pay for an AR-15?

$600 is a fair price, depending on brand, and for home defence you're much better off with a 12-ga. riot gun ($200-250), as it won't over-penetrate and every burglar knows the "chuck-chuck" sound of a 12 ga. being racked.

If Ron is only getting 10% of the R votes in an open primary, what's that say about his chances in winning as an independent?

Very little but I didn't want to be so blunt and not give some hope.

Ron Paul will never be President of these United States.

Sorry but it 'is what it is'.

I was one of the first to 'lock on' to RP back some 2 years ago and initiated the ping list on this forum around that time.

I think as an independent he could build the 10% to 30% by just sitting on the sideline and keeping his mouth shut. Pick up the the people as Hillary and McCain expose each other.

Careful work could bring it to 40%. And that's all you need to win in this type of three way race. I think Clinton pulled 43% against Bush I.

let's not forget we did win the American revolution
and everything looked black at the start

I actually read Tom Paine's letter when he got home that night from the first battle with the British
everything looked so black he searched and searched his mind for hope
he could not find any
and finally he said "I know God will not let us down," that was his only source of hope

The Clinton / Obama thing has really narrowed of the past 20 minutes. But even if she loses, she's close enough to stay in the race.

Obama will clobber her in South Carolina though. Lots of black folks there. It will be interesting to see how effective Obama is at pulling them out to vote.

A good revolver is a little handier, I'm thinking a stainless steel S&W 686 in .357 Magnum.

I have a waterbed, but the point is that I only want a gun to ward off intruders. Once they wake me any gun I own may as well be locked in safety deposit box downtown, unless it's within reach when I wake up.

Maybe I should just hang tea-bags labelled "crack" from the cedar tree in my front yard.

Looks like the fluoridation, mercury in vaccines, neurotoxins in food via additives and pesticides, along with constant brain-washing by the "media" worked.

Some of us must be immune to that shit.

And all the young people coming out in favor of Ron Paul suggest that maybe the problem is something else.

I think it is fraud, pure and simple.

If you're looking to defend against burgulars & thieves, a 12 gauge shotgun is the choice.

In my particular situation, I think a .22 semi-auto rifle that holds ten or so rounds in the chamber would be a better choice. A few of my friends were extolling the range of the .22 round, but I'm not looking for distance, I'm only wanting to stop burglars and the occasional vandal.

That could be. It could also be a flock of old goobers that swallow every lie they hear on TV, and simply vote for whomever their local newspaper editor tells them to.

One thing about McCain though is that he was actually having live Town Hall meetings across the state, unlike Ron Paul who didn't really have any as far as I know, except for the one on Sunday night in Manchester.

He's at 8% now, half of what Rasmussen polled him at.

I've been following all of Rasmussen's polls like a hawk for past 8 years
he is honest and accurate
and has never been off by more than 2 percent, the person has done 2 percent better than the poll

something is a little fishy here...

I won't make a fuss about it, but for true understanding,
it's important for us to know how Ron Paul actually did, no?

This country was birthed by a bloody revolution, a revolution fought by the few, that brought freedom for all.

We are guilty of letting it slip away, perfectly willing to accept the yoke of oppression that one day will be replaced by the hang mans noose. History is a stern teacher, one that speaks of evil men that have wanted to control the world.

This total control now perhaps is within their grasp.

Anything is better than nothing, but determined individuals can take a few .22 rounds easily, as it simply feels like a punch from what I hear. A 12 gauge full of buckshot feels a bit different than that I believe, and so does a .40 caliber round or higher.

I think you are right on this one
because Rasmussen has always been accurate in the past
I've checked all his polling against the actual results
he is only off by 1 or 2 percent, and as I said the person did better than the poll

it is having demoralizing effect on many of Ron Paul supporters
and will "justify" leaving him out of debates and no news coverage, etc
(which may be the reason for it)

all I can do is pray South Carolina is honest in its reporting of the vote

It's not so bad if you use the reduced recoil shells. Handguns are better at home defense in my opinion, as they have more maneuverability and have more than adequate stopping power if using a good round such as .40 or .45 caliber.

I recall supporting and voting for Goldwater and everyone jumped on Johnsons bandwagon. Anyone that was for Goldwater was a tad stupid and the butt of many jokes etc.

The result of their high minded thinking was a landslide victory for Johnson and one long devastating war that claimed thousands of American lives and broken bodies. As that long war dragged on it was amazing that NO ONE would admit voting for Johnson.

It depends on what country the ammo comes from. The Russian stuff works great, but some of the Eastern Eurpean stuff is hard to get out.

Be sure to clean the thing really well after firing. The ammo is horribly corrosive. Most of them have great bores as most guys never fired them least they give their position away. Mine are really accurate. I am now scoping one. They kick like mules though. Apparently, they really can hit things at 2000 meters, but I never tried it.

**********

I re-read your post and saw you are using Russian ammo. It's proably the shipment. Every time I go to buy ammo it's differnt. Packaged differntly, etc. I found some I liked and bought a lifetime supply. Like I said above, it was about 3 bucks a pack.

This today from Baltimore Sun....

"A McCain candidacy and defeat would be a near-term disaster for the Republicans, but it might be good for the party in the long run. Mr. McCain would be the standard bearer of big-government conservatism: taxing and spending at home and crusading for democracy in foreign lands. His defeat in November would show beyond all doubt that such "conservatism" has been a political failure. He would thus, at long last, open a sorely needed debate about the principles of the Republican party"

The above sounds a lot like Ron Paul.

Sheesh -regarding the potential ban on semi-automatic weapons and concealed carry - I'd say that's the least of our worries if Obama wins.

Obama is a far left socialist - there's a reason why a guy like Mekons loves Obama and it isn't because of Obama's stand on guns, I'd wager.

Besides which some states have semi-automatic weapons restrictive statutes on the books and ditto for concealed carry restrictions:

Only 10% reported so far, so there's still room for some movement since voting preferences vary by district. Maybe a few points, anyway.

It's sad, but it's probably true. According to CNN, RP got 14% of the GOP-voting 'independents' while McCain and Romney had Indie votes in the 30's.

palo: ..but I think something is fishy here in NH

I'm not buying this "fishy" business. Older people from the north may simply not like Ron Paul's anti-New Deal stance, or his "bring all the troops home" message. This should not surprise us too much. The media's dislike for Ron Paul is easily all it takes to keep him from getting elected, since we literally learn all we know about candidates through media sources. They vary some, but 90% have either ignored Ron Paul or have shown massive prejudice against him.

The real conspiracy here is in control of the media, and control over education. Pro-government state-funded education is an impact on these people that can last for a lifetime. We're a unique bunch for liking Ron Paul. We are trying to change minds through our own medium, but it's still not the primary source of news for every major voting bloc.

Don't give up yet, though. Ron Paul can taste victory. He will have his chance yet to reach through the cobwebs of prejudice and ignorance. We're going to have to help him offline, though.

An MSNBC exit poll follows. I include a highlight on Ron Paul supporters lower gun ownership in order to show that McCain voters are actually more traditional in some ways. Some Ron Paul voters are clearly just voting to stop the war in Iraq, and are greens or pacifists. This is GOOD. I welcome anyone's support for Ron Paul, left or right. But you can see that McCain speaks to traditional people (I've witnessed this myself, although I get hoarse trying to prove them wrong).

Do you or does someone else in your household own a gun?

Palo, you are a dear but the Iowa Ca-Ca-us was as crooked as a 3 dollar bill. The results were taken into a back room, and then after a couple hours delay as the results were slowly cooked, they were announced. They were not true results but they were the ones the crooks can make stand.

There are already reports coming out from Iowans who voted for Ron Paul calling foul.

The same holds true for New Hampshire. You can bet that there will be a big divergence between the Paper Ballots/Hand Counted Precincts and the Diebold Machine Made results.

buck...

I think it is much simpler than that.

There is a sad lack of name recognition. I speak to so many people that have NEVER heard of Ron Paul that you wonder where they have been living.

That is a fact, it has nothing to do with his message or Paul. War, taxes etc etc means nothing if you have never heard of the man.

I'd be worried about a NATIONAL ban where they'd try to actually carry out house to house raids on ALL gun owners that have their purchases recorded, or their gun ownership known by the government. If it's incremental, and they pull a few more Virginia Tech's and Columbine's, then the sheeple will be on their side.

Uh huh, whatever...

I'm suggesting to you that an Obama presidency would more likely target middle class wallets than any semi-automatic weapons which professional middle class households are not very likely to own anyways.

I think he would actually have a chance as an independent. It's too bad he isn't considering this.

It is time that he gives it serious consideration.

Fact of the matter is, RP will never get the GOP nomination for President.

Indeed. I was criticized for posting a thread a couple of weeks before Iowa suggesting this and for posting on threads long before that one, stating that the ONLY way RP could compete for the US presidency is by running AGAINST the 2 parties not from inside a party that can barely tolerate him. Now, after losing 3 out of three, maybe RP will consider this even though, after losing 3 GOP state contests, he has now the reputation of a loser and he will be identified by the MSM as a sore GOP loser so he can't win as an Indie any longer.

And every GOP that voted for him should do like I'm going to do and walk away from the party. I intend on joining the Constitution Party though Libertarian is more consistent with my ideals.

Thank you.

There were a number of suggestions at this site, suggesting that this nation can be saved by people actually joining the GOP party and change that abomination from within. What an abominable idea.

I'm not buying this "fishy" business. Older people from the north may simply not like Ron Paul's anti-New Deal stance, or his "bring all the troops home" message. This should not surprise us too much. The media's dislike for Ron Paul is easily all it takes to keep him from getting elected, since we literally learn all we know about candidates through media sources. They vary some, but 90% have either ignored Ron Paul or have shown massive prejudice against him.

The real conspiracy here is in control of the media, and control over education. Pro-government state-funded education is an impact on these people that can last for a lifetime. We're a unique bunch for liking Ron Paul. We are trying to change minds through our own medium, but it's still not the primary source of news for every major voting bloc.

Don't give up yet, though. Ron Paul can taste victory. He will have his chance yet to reach through the cobwebs of prejudice and ignorance. We're going to have to help him offline, though

Your logic is impeccable as usual
but Rasmussen gave Ron Paul 14 percent in the polling
and Rasmussen has never been wrong before
that is why I smell a rat

but your post is valuable, because it shows me where my emphasis should be
to just put New Hampshire behind me, and concentrate on winning the other States
I just don't want New Hampshire voters to be damned for their dismal vote for Ron Paul,
if in fact their votes were not counted

But I am willing to put New Hampshire behind me after reading your post
you did good Buckeye

Well I agree with you to a point, but older New Dealers will not like his message, when they do hear it. It didn't take election fraud to deliver NH to Clinton and McCain.

Voter recognition and voter acceptance of Ron Paul's message needs to happen offline now.

We've tried to make our point online here that the campaign should simplify and use traditional advertising. Whole markets may be closed to his message at any price. To give you an idea how expensive premium advertising is, $20 million is pocket change.

Consider that Superbowl advertising is about $2.4 million a whack, as of 2005.

Think about that. It takes billions to make the minds of Americans change. And there are billions being spent in overt and tacit, long-haul ways, to elect other candidates to protect the status quo.

The way I see it, we are just in for more of the same. Nothing worse. And there is little I can do to change it. So I am just going to lay low and save up what I need to live. I've been getting ready for the past year. It will, however, be fun watching the heads explode over on FreeRepublic the morning after the election.

The Freeptards are going to have a collective seizure. Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of quislings.

It will be interesting to watch and see which Republocrat will be chosen to lose to Hitlery.

It is getting close to where I start advocating people taking to the streets. The only other option is start adjusting and getting ready for a slave's collar.

I suspect that these results were chosen so as to deliver a psychic blow to the Ron Paul forces to demoralize them. It did not work here. It just made me more determined to fight back.

If Ron is only getting 10% of the R votes in an open primary, what's that say about his chances in winning as an independent?

Not good, I'd say.

A lot of people have woken up to liberty with Ron Paul's campaign.

As Janis Joplin once concluded, "freedom is just another word for nothing left to loser". The consumers can't achieve the blessed state of freedom while attaching themselves to a political party. RP received 8% of the Indies who compromised their principles and came to vote in a Demo-GOP primary. It's hard to tell how many Indies RP would have had on his side if he ran as an Indie, opposing Hillary and Rudy and, sadly, we will never know. However, we do know and we should have known a long, long time ago that RP was going to carry ZERO states in a GOP contest for nomination.

To win, palo dear, you will have to make your online activities reach people who are living an offline existence. You know what I mean. But you can do this with your telephone and your personal charm. Note that this must have worked in the case of the NH GOP office, because they stood up for freedom.

That was a call to fight and, indeed, it was very different from the schemes discussed by various RP supporters, involving RP's ability to somehow hijack the party of war and torture and get himself nominated for president by that party.

You have to make it a good show to sell the Rubes.

All of the big money is backing Hitlery. She has something like 100 million in "donations".

Ron Paul is the only Republican that can win in the General (s)Election and so must be marginalized to allow a Hitlery "win".

Hitlery will win in NH and win big on "Super Tuesday".

Thus garnering a "magical" come from behind win to "catapult" into an "insurmountable" lead.

You nailed it. The Obama "surge" is all for show to convince the rubes that Hillary is in the "fight of her life" and that she must work hard to overcome a deficit to gain the nomination.

palo, do you see why many of us ARE mad, and HAVE been angry over what we've tried to convey over the last several years, in that the system is corrupt?

darling get as mad as you want to
of course there are grounds for it
there is no beginning and no end to the corruption in our government and in our mass media
I actually think there was fraud in New Hampshire
and Ron Paul was denied his 3rd place win
the purpose of this is to demoralize the Ron Paul campaign
"justify" no news coverage of Ron Paul
keep him off all debates
and throw his campaign and supporters into disarray
(and stop his supporters from sending him money)
they want Ron Paul to go into South Carolina as weak as possible
Ron has a lot of support in that State

so my best response is to come back stronger, no?
Love, Palo

GO Ron GO

In his NH Town Hall video he picks something off his tongue and flicks it away while he's waiting for someone to finish asking a question. You would NEVER see a top-tier candidate on film doing something like that. This is because they have extremely expensive film editing with multiple camera angles. There's a video floating around that shows Clinton getting ready for another ad spot take and he looks like a robot.

We love Ron Paul because he represents straightforward and honest (and even very intelligent) patriotism. But we inhabit a formulaic world in which all we see has been cooked and reimaged digitally.

This can be to Ron Paul's favor, but not if he's unheard of.

If the media hadn't marginalized RP the outcome may have been different, but we have what we have.

Memries,
Like the corners of my mind
Misty water-colored memories
Of the way we were
Scattered pictures,
Of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another
For the way we were
Can it be that it was all so simple then?
Or has time re-written every line?
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me, would we? could we?
Memries, may be beautiful and yet
Whats too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget
So its the laughter
We will remember
Whenever we remember...
The way we were...
The way we were...

Paul would do well to announce to the grassroots and to the public that he is in this to the bitter end, win lose or draw, via the pub party or via a third party.

That automatically defeats the republican warmonger.

I would much rather be one of 30 million voters for Paul in a third party race than sit at home doing nothing.

Perot garnered 20 million and Paul can do better.

voter fraud on Ron Paul
ya know the original AP report about keeping Ron Paul out of the Fox debate
said it was the decision of the NH GOP
notice how 2 days before the Fox debate, the NH GOP took that "principled stand" to disavow the debate
I bet the New Hampshire GOP had figured out how to work the fraud
and then could "afford" to be so "noble"
"Let Ron Pual be in the debate" they said

(Scrapper) And now for the bad news about the "new generation" at least in NH - a poster here said the college students in NH had picked Rudy Giuliani as their favorite GOPer in poll.

(Buckeye) I'm stunned.

Rudy is socially liberal
most college students are too
but Dartmouth is Ivy League, it is not typical college

here in Tucson, most Tucsonans go to the community college

and I know at the U of Arizona, my Ron Paul Meet Up group had very successful
meeting wirh the campus Republicans there

Love, Palo

It is like fighting with one hand tied behind our backs
that Ron Paul's campaign people stink

I think the money will stop gushing in to them, if they don't use it to better avail
they have to get wtih the program
I don't know what will wake them up
maybe they will believe the fraud vote in New Hampshire, and think they have to make some big changes
that would be a good outcome from this "disaster"
Love, Palo

To Ron Paul campaign people, WAKE UP!!

If I were Paul I would have me a bright young man as VP and announce it NOW. Someone that is known and good at public speaking and turn him lose.

It might be a bit too early to expect that RP has received any firm committments from people he has contacted. I did not mind the way he handled that question - he made a few jokes - and I think it went over well.

But the part that troubled me in the Leno interview was when Jay asked RP if he were forced to vote for a Dem candidate who would he choose based on positions that were close to his own and RP said Dennis Kucinich. And RP then quickly qualified his choice by saying Kucinich and he were both anti-Iraq War but they were very far apart on domestic policies. However, I'm not sure if anyone kept listening to RP's qualification ( except for devoted RP supporters like me) after they heard him pick Kucinich as being closest to him in policy positions - it was the end of the interview with a lead into a commercial break.

If I were RP, I would have just said I don't see any Dem candidate that reflects my constitutionally based positions. But for RP to pick a statistical last place loser of a Dem candidate ie. Kucinich, who is also so left wing he almost falls off the charts was most unfortunate. In fact, if I were an undecided NH independent and heard RP basically aligning himself with a) a loser and b) a far left socialist - I would have been very turned off. Americans like winners generally speaking and NH itself is not a hotbed of socialism.

That particular response did not help RP at all imo.

Maybe I'm being to overly sensitive to political perceptions that result from something that might not have much significence one way or another.

RP appeals to a broad cross section of supporters. So maybe there are some supporters who think Kucinch is not so bad.

However, I'm more of a paleo-conservative with a sprinkle of libertarian and consequently I projected how I would interpret RP's choice - which was to have my hair stand on end.

A guy like Kucinich - a bigtime nanny statist who believes in redistribution of wealth so everyone can be equally miserable -is the absolute worst candidate in the 2 parties combined from my perspective. Kucinich stands for everything I loathe. His anti-Iraq War position is the exception but even that does not make up for all of Kucinich's negatives.

I'm stunned.

Indeed.

I am equally stunned by Hillary's amazing 180 over Obama. Furthermore, I'm stunned by the massive "turnout" of Democrat voters. Both occurring in a state generally considered to be more conservative than Iowa.

I quite seriously believe that many of these Hillary voters were switchover Republicrats who believe Hillary is the most beatable in the final go round.

These are the masses of voters who live and die by casting their lesser-of-two-evils vote every four years. I call them the Superbowl voters who treat politics as some kind of mindless our "team" must win at any cost woodenheads.

American politics has become so full of such inanities that we face tremendous obstacles in our crusade for a return to a sane political arena.

My emotions at the moment run more along the lines of giving this good man a boot in the pants or a good shaking.

Droll exagerations like the Kucinich remark for the purpose of making a point (character and principle over empty establishment blah-blah) do not feed the bulldog.

Niceness does not rule out combativeness. I give you Ron Reagan as example.

we'll see what happens
I posted on this thread till late at night last night
I fell asleep instant head hit pillow
and instantly I dreamt I was in a big room where everyone was wildly cheering
and jumping uo and down, because our team won the game
some sports game
but when I opened my eyes to interpret the dream it hit me in the face
"our team won!" -- it is referring to our team behind Ron Paul

the only reason vote fraud in New Hampshire matters, is in how we interpret the results of the election
if he had actually gotten 8 per cent, it would not be encouraging
but if he got 18 percent it is very encouraging
it means Ron Paul came in third
which I think is exactly what happened

plus actions have results, when NH voters discover their votes weren't counted
which isn't that hard to find out
they can easily find out how many Meet Up members are in each town
how many people contributed money in each town
and between the two of them compile a solid list of Ron Paul voters
and compare it to the vote tally for that town

when there are hard facts, we'll see what happens next

I don't think we should count on the media for anything

but I never did from the start fo the campaign

I know this was grass-roots all the way

and we will previal

all my love, Palo

notice that what Ron polled at in Iowa is what he got
Iowa had honest election
what he polled at in New Hampshire, he got half

I perceived NH to be the same way as you, iconoclast, but we were both wrong. The demographics of the state has changed and along with it came a change in the state's politics.

There are more nanny state benefit dependents than independents in NH and they all came out to vote for the candidate who will most likely continue to deliver or enhance their bennies.

I found this analysis quite telling:

www. cbsnews.com/stories/2...olitics/main3689566.shtml

"Why Clinton Won: Women, Labor Households And Low-Income Voters Bring N.Y. Senator N.H. Victory"

...Clinton held her own among late deciders, beating back the Obama surge and winning courtesy of a significant Granite State gender gap and support from other traditional wings of the Democratic Party.

The Coalitions

New Hampshire women went big for Clinton, supporting her 46 percent to 34 percent for Obama. And as 57 percent of the Democratic primary electorate, women were enough to make the difference. Among men, Obama turned the tables, beating Clinton 40 percent to 29 percent. In third place, John Edwards received 19 percent of the male vote and 15 percent of women's votes.

Clinton pulled together a traditional coalition of Democratic voters for this victory - labor households, voters with relatively low incomes and education, and, of course, women.

Union households, which make up one-fifth of the New Hampshire Democratic primary electorate, voted for Clinton 40 percent to 31 percent for Obama. Among voters with household incomes less than $50,000 a year, Clinton beat Obama by 15 points, and by 18 points among those with no more than a high school diploma.

Similarly, Clinton won the votes of self-described Democrats in this open party primary state. Among those who typically consider themselves Democrats she won 45 percent of the vote to 34 percent for Obama.

For Obama, the generation of new and young voters that propelled him to victory in the Iowa caucuses last week was not there in New Hampshire. While Obama won nearly half of voters who had never voted in a primary election before, these voters made up only 19 percent of the primary electorate.

And while Obama beat Clinton by 60 percent to 22 percent among the youngest voters - those 18 to 24 years old - his advantage among other voters under 40 was much slimmer than seen in Iowa.

Obama did win the independent vote in New Hampshire. He beat Clinton among those considering themselves independents by 10 points - 41 to 31 percent. The rest of Obama's support base in New Hampshire came from the more elite elements of the Democratic electorate. He won the vote of those in households making more than $100,000 a year 41 percent to 36 percent for Clinton. And he won voters with advanced educational degrees by 12 points.

Clinton stemmed the Obama tide in the last three days of the campaign in New Hampshire. While Clinton trailed by 15 points among voters who decided their vote sometime last week, she split the late-breaking vote with Obama- 36 percent and 37 percent respectively..."

Also regarding the number of Dem vs GOP voters that turned out as a whole...

from daily kos last night using CNN statistics:

280,000 people voted for Democrats, 220,000 for Republicans.

In 2000, turnout looked like this:

Repub.: 238,606 Democratic: 154,639

Repubs lost ~20,000 voters while Dems damn near doubled!

the 280k is a Dem primary record (up from 220k in '04), the 220k down from ~238k when McCain ran in 2000.

This reminds me of the "New Square Four" as written about by Barbara Olson in her book The Final Days. It was relative to an 11th hour pardon by Bill to deliver a win for Hillary's Senate race.

I'll have to dig through it, but I believe there was a powerful precinct that voted 100% for Hillary.

Also, this brings back memories of the Marc Rich money, and the shenanigans of Hugh Rodham.

I still don't believe Barbara made that call from the airline before the 'plane' hit the Pentagon.

I remember after Olson's death, they tried to stopy Regnery from publishing her book.

I think you're fooling yourself if you beleve you'll get that many shots on target when it's all on the line. There are plenty of accounts of several 9mm rounds on target failing to stop assailants. The reason .45, .44, .40, 10mm are favored is that one shot puts them down. Same with a 12 gauge. But don't just take my word - check around.

I'm not sure what this means?
His staff is amateurish, compromised usually means working for the enemy

I see no evidence of that

Altho if there had been honest counting of votes in NH, and Ron Paul had pulled in 18 percent and come in third
none of the errors of the campaign staff would have come to light
they have to do their best to be on the ball now

I actually think he should use his big dough to assemble the best campaign staff money can buy
but that is not his way

I think it will work out OK
but I too don't think people will rush to open their wallets again till they see their money spent wisely and well

Palo dear, have you posted commentary on why you like Ron Paul? I credit you in part with helping me discover RP's campaign because you wrote so warmly about him on TOS2. If you haven't written any sort of apologia you might consider it. Are there are any kinds of attacks on RP that you might be in a good position to deflect with a position piece? This could help Ron Paul if people find it via Google. By the way, are you a green? If so, how do you see RP's campaign helping your cause?

I hope Ron does well in South Carolina, that would mean a lot!
That debate on FOX tomorrow is important debate
I will be praying hard for Ron Paul all thru it, so be prepared to give me objective report when debate is over
I will go right on the thread about it here
I love it that he behaves like a gentleman, it does him credit
So I am not concerned if the others are aggressive, and he is not
Also since immigration is not an issue for me, you don't have to report to me what he says on that
I am interested in what he says about foreign policy and liberty
and about getting rid of income tax and inflation tax
I already know his positions on all these things, I just want to know what he said in debate

Eventually it will be on YouTube everything he says
so all I need to know from you are a few basic impressions of what he said
just so I get the idea

Thanks a million

Fingers crossed and prayers in for the debate and for the Primary

All the fights are about apportioning blame
We don't all agree on who has decent character and is mistaken
and who is deliberately responsible for the corruption
The beauty of a Ron Paul Presidency is he is the solution to the problem
he is a good man who will take our country in the right direction

I submit that the source of most of our problems is that military industrial complex now determines foreign policy in DC
and both Parties are in bed with the military industrial complex
Ron Paul, practically alone in Congress, stands up to the military industrial complex
he, practically alone, does not vote for what they want

Anyone who wants our soldiers home with their families would vote for Ron Paul
because the Dems demagogue they are against the war
but meanwhile continue to vote the funding for it
Wars continue as long as they are funded
they stop on the dime when there is no more funding

Anyone who wants no more wars started for frivolous reasons
would vote for Ron Paul
He is a Constitutionalist
Congress would have to declare war before he would go along with it

And he would never use the Presidency as propaganda campaign for war which is not necessary

Ron Paul voted against the Patriot Act
again he is almost alone in this
He claims the reason so many in Congress enthusiastically endorsed the Patriot Act is because so many in Congress
wanted for long time to take away rights and liberties from citizens
9/11 and Patriot Act was their excuse

And there may be truth to that
It was generally assumed it was heat of the moment,
which caused Congress to overwhelmingly pass the Patriot Act without reading it
but heat of the moment is over, Patriot Act is still with us
so Congress wants it

By the grace of God, the Patriot Act has not been abused to the extent it could be
but it is a dangerous law to have on the books
and should very unscrupulous people ascend to power
or get the ear of power, citizens could really be cooked

Ron Paul did the right thing to put the Constitution and the Bill of Rights first
even in the heat of the moment
he did this because he has a passion for liberty for our citizens
this is a man we want in the White House

Anyone who wants the Constitution upheld first last and always
would vote for Ron Paul

Ron Paul explains Congress serves special interests, not the interests of citizens
And this is true

It is time we have a President who serves our interests, not special interests

The military industrial establishment now owns both parties and the media
They will not allow Ron Paul to be our President
But by a miracle of God, we still have free elections
and citizens will choose Ron Paul

Love, Palo

Palo dear, have you posted commentary on why you like Ron Paul? I credit you in part with helping me discover RP's campaign because you wrote so warmly about him on TOS2. If you haven't written any sort of apologia you might consider it. Are there are any kinds of attacks on RP that you might be in a good position to deflect with a position piece? This could help Ron Paul if people find it via Google. By the way, are you a green? If so, how do you see RP's campaign helping your cause?

I just looked at Rasmussen Reports, he has Huckabee as the one the country wants of all the GOP candidates now
I still think our thinking is solid
That if citizens are choosing Huckabee, then Ron Paul is who they really want
and Ron Paul has to get his message out to all

Love, Palo

Your own posts are excellent
I rejoined LP because of reading your posts, while I lurked there
altho I did not stay that long, as you know

I honestly can't think of anything you and I can do differently or better than what we are doing
I read many posters here who have such constructive excellent suggestions for Ron Paul's campaign people
they have talent for that kind of thinking
I don't

reading so many great posts, here and when I was on LP
I see we all have different talents for what we offer

my best talent I think, is refusing to get discouraged
I am always convinced the light is out there, if I search for it
altho half the time, while I am searching for it, some other poster comes on and gives the reason for it
this is helpful for me, because it encourages me

I am not positive I am that good at finding the light, I am OK at it
but my talent is I won't be budged, in wanting to find the light, and knowing it is there
your talent of course is your brilliance, which I am nowhere near
but I find it thrilling, plus it so filled with communication

from what I have seen of Ron Paul posters here, on LP, and Digg is we each have our unique gift to give

this is something else which makes me so sure Ron Paul will win
look at the great number of citizens now, who are using their mind for Ron Paul

there is so much mind power behind him

no other candidate has this

mind power is a very strong light
and I just don't think anything false can stand up to that light

Love, Palo

Although the Huckster is a bornagainrapturenutterRINO with no conservative positions, no particular message, I can understand why he is the most attractive of the GOPer's and RP may want to pay heed - Huckabee is very personable, he is very relaxed and he has a nice sense of humor and a nice smile big dimples - I saw him interviewed by Jay Leno and by Craig Ferguson and both times Huckabee did remarkably well. I found myself smiling along whenever he made some corny small jokes before I caught myself doing so! Then I smacked my forehead - sheesh - scrapper, that's the Huckster, smarten up!

Although Dr. Paul has a terrific message and a common sense constitutionally based platform, he's so tense, so tight, so wanting to do well, you can sense that he's trying hard to appear light and easy - he forces himself to make some jokes and although he's always the articulate gentleman, RP is not telegenic - Huckster is like a big cuddly puppy dog - people forget the Huckster has no message and no platform because he makes them feel so calm and relaxed and warm and fuzzy in his presence. Huckster is a lawyer by trade and also a minister so public speaking is second nature to him. But Dr. Paul, as a physician, never needed to learn the art of public speaking- his profession typically demanded that he be proficient in one on one communication skills either with his patients or in conferring with his colleagues or fellows or residents - also the language used in medicine is very linear, scientific, brief, to the point - now Dr. Paul is swimming with the sharks, most of whom are lawyers and experienced in public speaking - and he's struggling to project a relaxed persona but at the same time he wants to deliver his message in an understandable format to laymen. He's not able to use the communication style or skills or vocabulary he used in medicine - he's addressing a different public at large. Even as a Congressman, he did not face the public speaking challenges that he faces now competing as a Pres candidate in the national theatre.

I think it would help alot if Dr. Paul got some intensive lessons on public speaking from a voice coach - it wouldn't take much coaching - he's a very bright guy -but nonetheless I think it could be very useful so he gains some self confidence and learns how to project light and easy and happy while he is delivering the RP message. Basically, RP needs to become more telegenic and in short order so people remember him and his message.

Sort of...ha, ha...

However in RP's case, he isn't delivering BS - his message is good and true - but he needs to learn the art of schmoozing a) to get the public's attention, b) to have them like him so they let themselves be open to listening to his message and c) finally, to remember him when it's time for them to cast their ballots. He needs to reach out to the undecided, the fence sitters. RP needs to make himself as personally memorable as his platform.

We only need to look at the lessons being taught re: Huckabee's popularity - he has hardly any $ and he's holding his own with candidates with huge war chests like Romney and Giuliani. Ditto for inexperienced Obama coming out of nowhere to challenge Hillary, the almost coronated Queen. Hillary is neither likeable or personable. Ditto for Romney. Both are polished but cold. Huckabee and Obama come across as "nice guys." That's what the public wants - someone they can relate to, someone who puts them at ease, someone they could invite over for Sunday pot roast and not feel pressed to have the fine china and silverware on the table.

Tooooo late. Paul is near my age and it is too late.

Your assessment is totally correct but Paul and his supporters will have to proceed as is. Time is now our enemy. Your thinking is why I suggested he pick a VP now, younger, good orator and turn him loose across the country, Napalitano comes to mind as an example.

The message is the important segment not the looks and presentation of the messenger but alas that is how people vote.

Cynicom - smart people are quick studies - and Dr. Paul is very very smart. I think it depends how motivated RP is to WIN. To win he absolutely needs to become a student again and be taught some new tricks - after all these years of being in a position of power first as an MD and then as a Congressman -learning the art of schmoozing from a voice coach likely a younger person with much less academic credentials than he has might take some humility and flexibility.

However, if he made up his mind to submit to being coached, I'll bet it wouldn't take more than a couple of lessons in the course of a 2 week period - the lessons and a few trial runs and then corrective actions and RP would be up and away.

Cyni - Hollywood takes strangers off the street with no acting experience at all - they want a new face and they give them a few lessons and turn them loose in front of cameras and build multi-million dollar films around them. RP can do it if he wants to. Waiting until RP gets a VP mate to do the telegenic delivery stuff will be way too late.

You recall on Leno the question about a running mate from the pub losers.

Can you imagine Paul tomorrow morning calling a press conference and dragging out Napolitano???? Or some such known person.

Sadly Paul has the usual expert slicks that always attach themselves to politicians surrounding him. Their primary message is "send money", so far they have succeeded with that but without change the tap will be turned off.

Back when, my Browning Challenger taught me about the correct positioning of my hands when rounds were being chambered - I can still see the scar on the top of my thumb 40+ years later.

LOL.

I took my concealed-carry class with a Walther PPK and got my hand chewed up quite a bit with that one, too. Now I carry a Colt Double Eagle with a nice beavertail, so no more problems.

Shut your whore mouth, Mr. President.

I don't think a guy like Judge Napolitano or anyone who's good is going to risk his day job contract and reputation to sign on with RP at this stage of the game. Way too early.

I would agree with you that ongoing calls for donations without good primary results in hand is going to get old soon. He's got to start spending $ on classy ads to up his results in the primaries and he needs to start now.

When Paul is the lowest man on the totem pole and forecast to lose by everyone, thinking within constrictions of the usual campaign will surely guarantee the predicted loss.

If Paul were to pick a VP, tell everyone he is in regardless of party, he now becomes a huge problem for the republicans that have done their best to marginalize and insult him. He now becomes a force to reckon with for everyone.

Perots 20 million votes could easily be Pauls 30 million and a voice in the future of this country.

Personally I prefer voting for an honorable predicted loser than staying home.

If RP could get 'Da Judge to commit at this stage of the campaign ( here come da judge, here come da judge, da judge is here! ) then I agree with you a special press conference convened to make the announcement re: such a quality guy on the RP ticket would pump up interest in Dr. Paul BIGTIME.

Even with the Judge's committment and ok to make an announcement, I'm not sure if it would violate party protocol - remember that all these GOP candidates are still competing still for the top spot and I'm not sure if any of them has the right to haul off and make pre-emptive announcements about their VP selection while the competition is still going on. Maybe others might know if a VP announcement can be made by a candidate before the Party's Pres candidate winner is determined.

I wrote this..." If Paul were to pick a VP, tell everyone he is in regardless of party,"...

With regardless of party being the operative hint...

Also I was using Napalitano as an example, there are others. No one knows who might come out of the woodwork. Paul owes "party" nothing, zero, nada. They have done nothing for him and in fact have done their best to destroy him.

When others are shooting holes in your canoe, you need a bigger paddle.

Hi Scrapper
I find this post and the others you wrote below it interesting and true
I would love it if the primaries came down to Ron Paul vs Huckabee
Huckabee has the personality, Ron Paul has the character and substance
A debate between them would be worthy of watching

I still think the significant thing here, that the reason Huckabee is beating all the establishment candidates
is because of Huckabee's message
He is able to put it across, because he has the media to help him, plus his likeable personality

What we learn from the Huckabee success, why Rasmussen has him polling ahead of every other candidate in the country-wide poll

is that voters want that message and will vote for the man who they think will deliver it

The reality is, Huckabee would never deliver any change

What our citizens want is what Ron Paul will bring them

> It is very valuable that we have learned from this that our citizens want what Ron Paul will bring them

We just have to figure out, how to bring Ron Paul to them
they have to hear Ron Paul's message and meet the man

It does not matter that Ron Paul does not have Huckabee's ease and personality
Ron Paul's sincerity and honesty shines thru

We must never forget for an instant that all citizens have minds
They recognize sincerity and honesty and integrity when it is before them

Love, Palo

Looks like I was more than a bit right way back then. Sure, Obama is going after more taxes, but look at what's going on in terms of possible "assault weapons bans".
