CNN says Democrats sabotaging" Republicans in Michigan by voting Ron Paul!?

[mosquitobite]

If this does catch on, we need to post the Kos articles & videos about Dems were "supposed" to vote for ROMNEY to sabotage the election results. Something tells me these Dems are actual Ron Paul supporters, or at least they favor him right behind Obama.


Their "orders" were to support Romney. So the MSM is full of $hit!

 

[Airborn]

Well if we do good tonight, they are going to play it off as the crossover voters protesting

 

[thomaspaine23]

Yeah,

If it looks like Paul is in the top 3 I'm sure the MSM will use the "sabotage" line.
Heaven forbid a democrat votes for the most palatable Republican......

Heck I bet they'll give him a BLUE piece on the RED pie chart if he's 3rd or better.

 

[JMann]

It is funny that if it was McCain they would be bragging about how he is able to get the Democrats to come out and vote for him.

 

[shadowhooch]

If this causes Ron Paul to win Michigan and they call it "sabotage", Ron Paul should immediately release a statement on how "he is the candidate that can appeal to both parties and thus is the most electable."

 

[DAFTEK]

It's all part of the smear.

Ron Paul is doing well there and may pull 3rd.

They're preparing the public for a reason Ron Paul placed well, so that they can further marginalize him and ensure the public don't 'think' of a reason themselves.

Unfortunately for the media, they can't win in this respect. This just means more exposure to Ron Paul as more people become aware.

He's breaking through...

+1 I still kinda like Wolf and Caferty Otherwise even CNN is starting to be another FOX...

Who cares the why? I don't care if they showed Hillary Clinton, herself, casting a vote in Michigan for Ron Paul (yes, I know she can't). A top 3 showing will generate momentum and money and put to rest all this TNR nonsense. I'm honestly only hoping that he beats his IA and NH number (as a %) to make a statement that he is not losing support.

 

[LudwigVan Kubrick]

Makes no sense.

Given that democrats are numbering 2-1 over republicans in primary voting numbers, and given that 70% of the country opposes the occupation of Iraq...

Ron Paul is the only republican that has a chance against any of the democrats. How would that "help"?

 

[Catatonic]

I thought the dems weren't voting all together. I'd think if dems wanted to screw with the vote, they'd all vote for someone other than Ron Paul that's likely to win the nomination, knowing that anyone else won't have a chance against hillary/obama.

Which is why that guy who's parents organized dems to vote for tancredo made no sense. If I was them I would have voted McCain or Romney, doing anything possible to keep Ron Paul out of the picture.

 

[Thomas Paine]

IMHO, the Dems can sabotage away if it means Ron Paul wins Michigan. McCain was the beneficiary in 2000. Now Ron Paul can be the beneficiary in 2008.

 

[RPinSEAZ]

If I were a democrat, I'd vote for Huckabee to sabotage the republican party.

If we do better than expected, it's because the UAW got the word out.

CNN is starting to act like Fox. This guy would be painted as patriotic if he pulled the lever for McShiver.

CNN is Fox is NBC is ABC is CBS. They're just designed to appeal to different demographics while they spit out the same agenda. Its like how the democratic and republican parties are the same party but divided to appeal to two distinct groups. Don't be fooled by CNN. That you get your news from them (not saying that you do) simply means you are in their demographic.

Well isn't that rich?

 

[phixion]

I can't wait to see Ron's speach after his Michigan placing - whatever it may be.

I'm really hoping it's third. That will really pump Ron Paul and all of his supporters and history was written.

even though I cannot currently watch youtube from my current location is there concrete proof of this? I don't want to get my hopes up only to have them come crashing down again.

 

[RPinSEAZ]

don't get your hopes up.

 

[Eponym_mi]

Democrats rarely crossover to muck the Republican primary in Michigan, but Republicans have done it quite often, Wallace in '72, Jackson in '88, etc.. I hope the Dems have a lot of fun voting for Ron Paul today!

 

[CountryboyRonPaul]

Informed voters are aware that Dr. Paul is far from a Democrat.

This will show informed voters Paul is a General Election candidate...

It will show un-informed voters that Paul is a pot-smoking hippie, though.

Oh well, there's a good and a bad in every situation.

 

[rockandrollsouls]

Apparently it's sabotage if you vote for someone in another party that you happen to agree with. What is our country coming to
