1500 People who showed up to caucus TURNED AWAY

Did Romney really win Benton? A twitter announcement I saw said Ron won it big time. Not that twitter is flawless, I'm just surprised. And Benton had 800 people turned away, so I was pissed.

Romney won it 43% to 18% for RP. santorumj got 24%

So, forgive me as I'm unaware of WA rules, but is anyone considering filing a complaint with the Attorney General?

We probably should out of principle, but in this instance it only helped us.

Do you have any proof of that?

Nope. It was sarcasm.

Okay bye. You focus on what's winnable. We'll continue to help Ron.

Are you saying Ron is not winnable?

Here is another interesting link from that page. Off topic, but still a good read.

No, not at all! I should have quoted his comment that he was "out" going to work on winnable stuff.

And as he said with the "boy who cried wolf" example, he actually proved my point... It's not the Paul supporters who are lying to the point of no one believing them; they're simply speculating, and it's not unfounded.... It's due to the fact the media and GOP are the ones lying "crying Romney" if you will, to the point that we're naturally skeptical of anything and everything they do...

People here don't just speculate because they simply like to speculate. It's 100% reactionary to all of the shadiness and lies that we see in every single state and the media's irresponsible reporting and flat out ignoring Dr. Paul (and I'm jsut talking about this election as the most blatant example)

If you want to know why conspiracy theories exist, it's because this kind of crap happens to a degree to where you can't simply just call it coincidence anymore. Something happens a few times, it's an isolated incident, but when this stuff keeps happening over and over and over, with votes disappearing and Dr. Paul getting nothnig but negative coverage foolwoing strong showings, then well.... You call a spade a spade, and assume they're going to continue to act like one, rather than give them a benefit of the doubt they haven't earned with us...

But again, unless you have proof it is better to keep quiet. Look at that CPAC "crowd switch" form '11, there was proof on video, but just saying things like "Oh, my friends, cousins, best friends, girlfriend said she saw someone throw out some Ron Paul votes" is not going to get the job done, it's not that I'm calling anyone a liar, just that people won't accept heresay as proof, add to that the fact that you always get no shortage of fools who in their accussations make some mention about how the "NWO" or "Illuminati" or "Zionist Bankers" are behind it all and it's easy to see why no one listens.
