If you are a Ron Paul delegate DO NOT sign up for Americans Elect (Video)

[libertylastchance]

Too many people have signed onto this.. Agreed stay away!

I was an AE member before I was elected as a delegate in Georgia, Georgia has an open primary and I don't think AE is even a registered party in Georgia, still not taking any chances though. Account deleted.

Whoever claimed

This is the Email I got back from Americans elect....

Yeah, you can still participate in the primary and be a delegate, but would it surprise you if the Romney camp did some digging, found out you were signed up with AE, supported a specific candidate (Ron Paul) and thus having them challenging your status as a delegate?

if we are GOP registered and about to run for office,
being AE registered could be 'ammo' down the road
for any opponent. if one cannot endure or stomach
the way the current GOP does things, AE is an option.

This is a bullshit hysterical drama queen post. The video starts out by saying "it's been officially determined..." - by whom?

The fact that the OP is posting it multiple times only serves to strengthen my hunch that this is propaganda being spread by the GOP because they don't want Paul to have any shot at all in a 3rd party run.

The GOP routinely takes Democrats into their party - it's absolutely ridiculous to think that 4 years down the road this affiliation will get you blackballed.

As for the current year, those rules vary from state to state. Like I pointed out in the other thread, in Michigan, we literally have GOP delegates running for office on the Libertarian ticket, against Republicans.

But in these forums, the tin foil hats rule, I guess. Our founders fought a revolutionary war. We mired down fighting a reactionary war.

ALSO it lets them know who supports who. I did just think of that. It clearly is pushing for corporatist mushy middle types and why there is a mechanical way around that by picking one from the right and one from the left, people of that mindset do not have our interests at heart..

Yeah, because a Ron Paul / David Walker ticket would totally suck? And while I'd be less than thrilled, a Ron Paul / Dennis Kucinich pairing would likely glean interest.

multiple times?

 

[angelatc]

multiple times?

Yes, he posted it at least twice so far.

My fault. I saw that both posters has shiny new join dates, and assumed it was the same person. While it may indeed be the same person, there are two diff user names attached to the posts. Therefore, I amend my statement to pluralize the word "plant" in my theory.

keep in mind that i have been floating the trial balloon that rand could be
a veep guy on the GOP ticket at the same time as Dr. Ron goes 3rd party.
we all who remember 1988 know the GOP establishment has never forgiven
the good doctor for his Libertarian potus run that took on veep H.W as we
all can sense that rand paul IS a major contender for the GOP NOM in 2016!
mark my words, good ole Intrade will soon start to take bets on the 2016 race!
angelatc!!! why don't you organize for AE and keep them honest as i punge into
the local massachusetts GOP and try to "good government" my home state proper?

Nice try. I posted it once.

Why not be safe rather than sorry?

angelatc -- the good ole GOP can be petty & biased, also
the animal in the wild is said to have a very long memory!
the party apparatus has semi~forgiven mitt romney hense
the way missouri is going as well as puerto rico and illinois.
AE is an interesting approach. i am not at all upset at who
the backers are, i was thinking highly of mike gravel. if i do
expect to be elected to an office higher than dogcatcher its
easier to join our rather pathetic and conflicted GOP all told!
i'm in a state where there is a two to one edge of registered
Democrats over registered Republicans. i expect dirty politics.

 

[Aratus]

Massachusetts and I live in the state Mitt Romney governed for a brief time
as he merrily let the BIG DIG become an even bigger boondoggle than it was!

 

[Aratus]

i spent most of the past two years mulling taking on Ms. Niki Tsongas or Scott Brown!!!
yes, Sen. John Kerry looms on our political horizon becuz his seat needs to be defended
in 2014. if i plunge into the EA matrix, assuming i survive a GOP primary, i'd open myself
up to a multiple choise label quicker than you can say Ted Kennedy or even think of Mitt.
