1500 People who showed up to caucus TURNED AWAY

[Tyler_Durden]

Ben Swann has asked for any available video of this event.....

Honestly, I think some of you just like to bitch and moan about everyone else rather than looking at it rationally. It;s been nice folks, but I'm done here for a while if not longer. We have a Senate race & some state races in PA to win, and it's time to shift focus on what is winnable.

Glood riddance... No one was undisputably claiming fraud as much as it was bullshit that they didn't accomaodate those voters. You are the one woh's completely discounted the possibility, when we've seen nothing but a trend of GOP shenanigans that indicates the opposite. So take your defeatist attitude elsewhere. We're gonig to make sure no BS is going on before we just assume it's a misunderstanding... Really it seems the anti-"conspiracy-theorists" have a much more far-out-there theories that everything is just peachy and rosey in politics.

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

No one is discounting it, we're simply saying there are many here, not necessarily you, who are always spouting some conspiracy or another to the point where it's lost all credibility, at this stage even if you had undeniable proof who is going to listen to a Ron Paul supporter?

 

[ProBlue33]

This is going to sound bad, but looking at the results it was Santorum & Romney country anyway, this hurt them more than it hurt us.
Not good for sure, but that county was unwinnable anyways.

This. If the Tri cities area had gone heavy paul I would have been suspicious. The went for Romney. Those 1500 extra people only would have increased Romney's vote total.

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...

QFT. And for those of us here last time it isn't anything new. Just more blatant and dirty this time because of increasing RP support. Harder to hide it.

If they couldn't all fit int he rooms at the same time then take your poll of the group that fits in the room, ask them to go outside, invite (and check the rosters) the remaining attendees inside the room, take their poll, repeat until all vote.

Just so everyone knows, there is nothing wrong with people waiting outside of a building for a little while, there doesn't have to be enough room inside for everyone to be in there at the same time.

Who decided who could come in and who was turned away?

Such BS...

That was easy, any RP shirts were out, grey hair, in.

There's always the 50/50 chance it was the other way around...

In which case the Santorum people have every right to be as mad as we would be if we finished in 3rd.

So wait a minute. Are you saying that sometimes poor planning hurts candidates who aren't Ron Paul and that not everything is a conspiracy to keep our man down?!

HA! That's exactly what THEY want you to think.

Do you have any proof of that?

What do you base that on? When Ron Paul visited the tri-cities a few weeks back, he had a lot of supporters show up.

Here are the attendance estimates for the recent republican candidate tricity events according to the local news:

Ron Paul - 1500
Newt Gingrich - 500
Rick Santorum - 500
Josh Romney (Mitts son)- 130

 

[Aratus]

even if the ratio kept intact, we just don't know.
what we do know is mitt still won and newt is last.

Because romney won Benton, Franklin and Walla walla counties. Rally numbers mean nothing. RP's people could have been coming from as far away as central oregon.
On top of that santorum came in second in all three of the counties as well.

Okay, that is good logic. I guess I'm just embarrassed to live in a county where Santorum beat Paul.

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.
