McCain HAS NOT WON THE NOMINATION!

[Melissa]

THOSE DELEGATES ARE PLEDGED, they can't vote for anyone other than McCain unless we have a Brokered convention...... which we dont.

Again i will say that you must not be a delegate-these are the people that makes these rules so if we are the delegates we can change the rules-you are so clueless how this works

 

[speciallyblend]

ditto

And Garfield was not even a nominee and the next day won it, I really think those of you that say it is over have been watching 2 much tv turn it off and realize who has the power--the people at the convention --and who are they --some of us are working on them being us while the rest of you bitch. So for those becoming delegates keep up the fight and the rest of you stay tuned to the tv we will let you know how it turns out

i hear you. or they are depressed . never say never till after convention day and if they dont nominate ron paul,never fear ,just smile .the gop is dead in the water without ron paul as the nominee.

Ron Paul2008 written in stone

look at brightside then we have 4 yrs to build the party or eventually moveon and let the gop implode as they are already
.the gop is really clueless .lets keep them that way. we dont have to help they are doing a dam good job at throwing the election ,consider it gop entertainment at its finest

 

[speciallyblend]

anyone that thinks the gop can win a general election without ron paul as the nominee is ,TRULY DELUSIONAL

 

[bulloncoins]

Wrong.

If enough Paul supporters go to their state convention, with a 2/3 vote, they can make all of their state's delegates unbound.

As is, the delegates from the state convention to the national convention are bound. Delegates go from precinct to senatorial district conventions where the delegates to state will be chosen. Delegates to the state will choose the delegates to the national convention.

With all the Huckabee, Romney, Thompson, Hunter, etc.....supporters looking at having to vote for McCain or taking a serious look at Paul, unbinding the delegates might not be as hard as you think. McCain has no love lost down here in Texas. His amnesty bill sunk him here long ago. Texans don't trust McCain and it shows. No signs, no bumper stickers, no poll workers. He is dead in the water here.

Face it, many sheeple went to the polls thinking they could only vote for McCain, or vote democratic. They really have no idea that Paul is still a choice, even though his name was on the ballot. By the way, in my precinct, so were the names of half of the people who had alreay dropped out.

They even think that casting their ballot is the end of the process....They have no idea about delegates and such, and don't want to know.

These people would vote for whomever they were TOLD was the republican nominee....Don't expect them to take to the streets when we take back America. They will just be sitting in front of their TV with their mouths hanging open.

RP is done, he was done a long time ago; he does not have the support needed and the primeries proved it. Hell RP got squashed in Texas and that's his home state.

He won ZERO states, and McCain clinched the nomination last night and Huckabee could not stop him.... what does that tell you people? THERE WILL BE NO BROKERED CONVENTION, it's over.

People who think that RP will win the nomination now when he goes to the convention are delusional, seriously he has less then 50 delegates thats pathetic considering he spent well over $30 million.

As I said before they are out in force to try to stop us from going all the way
I know we have delegates much more than is reported. Stay True to the cause and see you in September.

I you have given up then shut up and leave. The moles are out in force on many of these threads. Why would anyone bother to post disheartening info unless they were trying to sway our delegates. Believe me when I say this is an organized effort to kill our movement.

Maybe we should just turn the forum over to the trolls for a few days and come back when they're tired of converting each other into liberty-hating neocons. Hey troll, can you even assure me that McCain's eligible to be sworn in? Are you the Supreme Court?

 

[Shaun]

TROLLS are people who mislead the gullible with false hopes and false data based on LUNATIC THINKING.....
Not one person will take me up on my bet of $1,000 at odds of 20-1 or even 100-1 that RP will be the nominee.
The reason because the RP " HE CAN STILL DO IT" Cult boys KNOW that they are bullshitters..
They just have nothing better to do with their lives now our champion is back to congress.
I told you MONTHS AGO this was over.
Now put up the money or SHUT UP.
U Guys are the trolls....
Misleading gullible people who love RP.
Let it go.

 

[Liberté]

This needs to be a sticky. McCain has not won the nomination. This wont be decided until September. What the MSM is reporting is just "the best case senario". Most of the delegates can vote for anyone they want in September. Dont get discouraged. Ron Paul now has 7 months to campaing against McWar and do you honestly belive he will lose that battle. The MSM is not telling the whole truth in the delegate process. This is not over until September. Keep supporting Ron Paul and spread his name and message like never before. We have helped him beat 10 other guys now to date...now its just 1 to go. Keep fighting for him!

I repeat, the delegates ARE NOT VOTING until SEPTEMBER.

I admire your spirit, and we should keep advocating for Ron Paul. But McCain will be the nominee, but what we can do is work on our goal, to me it is having a at least 100+ national delegates come November.

Also, don't forget that Romney and Huckabee are all behind McCain now, so he has several hundred more delegates than he needs, and many of his delegates are pledged.

this movement isnt over on convention day ,so take your crap else where. kiss my delegate ass ok. we are doing very good in colorado and its not just about 2008 ,so get a grip or go home. you would of surrendered to the freakin british if they threw an acorn at you..... take your worthless crap and cram it up your you know what.

Everyone here knows its an uphill battle and will not be easy. your post is worthless. join the revolution or shut the f UP. SAID WITH A SMILE AND BEING NICE be thankful

RON PAUL 2008 ,its the message not the guy, dam trolls cant even understand common sense...

 

[acptulsa]

Why wouldn't we raise a ruckus at the convention? Why wouldn't we stand and shout that McCain is Constitutionally ineligible and refuse to vote for him in the interests of our various states? Who is to say we're wrong but the Supreme Court? Why wouldn't we fight?

Can you think of a better way to educate the masses? They wouldn't give Ron Paul room to air his views. They owed this to the U.S. populace. Why wouldn't we take that room and that airtime?

 

[CurtisLow]

McCain HAS NOT WON THE NOMINATION!

He's a fool! Let's begin to take our country back! it's not over, It's just the beginning!

 

[Sarge]

I say go for it gang.

It is not over until they turn out the lights at the RNC Convention.

Don't let anyone tell you otherwise, or we are all in for the worst time of our life.

I am not saying I don't know it is going to be the battle of all battles, but make the RNC Convention the last stand at the ALAMO!

Delegates, delegates, and rule changes.

Wear them down, convert the delegates and change the rules at the state and RNC convetion. They don't want McCain, and will bolt if we do not back down. Any one thing that can surface and deep six McCain can make a spring board for those committed to McCain to bolt.

They will do everything to ignore us and shut us up. I would like to see this explode in their face. I have been around the turnip patch a few times, and think it can happen if no one backs off.

Even if Dr. Paul doesn't get the nomination, you the Revolution, will keep pounding them and taking the Republican Party back to where they use to be for us Republicans.

No McCain and no H and O ticket. We can't afford any of these tickets.

Let me die in peace, knowing we have won or will win down the road. I don't want my two sons, or you young ones, to have to deal with these idiots anymore.

With this said, my last vote will be for Dr. Paul!

You are correct, but even if you were wrong and McInsane really did win the nomination that doesnt count for s--t anyway. The reason is that 70%+ of americans want us out of Iraq and will not elect anyone that wants to stay there for 100 years if he feels like it. It just aint gonna happen, especially with so many people out there that seem to have "obama fever" right now.

Our best hope this year is to keep Ron fighting this thing all the way up to the end. He SHOULD run independant in my opinion, but thats neither here nor there. At least with an independant run he might be able to get into the debates but even that is questionable. The best thing we can all do is just support Ron no matter what happens and write his name in if necessary.

Remember folks, Ron Paul is not the end all candidate for this movement, but right now hes all weve got on the national front. If he stays in it to the end, we should all stick with it to the end no matter what. That includes continuing to send money to the campaign. I know its a shitty feeling sometimes when you see so many stupid people in this country voting for a knucklehead like McCain, it makes you think to yourself "WTF??????????" Believe me, I understand, but this is much bigger than just the presidency. Its about the future as well.

i am a delegate and im going to county in hopes of being voted to state . this isnt over. the republican party is in very deep trouble. We need to remind them

[tangent4ronpaul]

your ignorance astounds me, maybe you havent been around for the past 3 months?
we have a hell of a hard time getting 10% in a state... how do you think we can pull the majority of delegates if we are pulling these kinda of numbers? i think the last time i checked we got 5% of the vote in texas.. not trying to be a troll or anything im just being realistic here. we've done great funding but as far as reaching to the general public we are doing horribly.. the person who said we would be in iraq for 100 years, in a country that 60-70% oppose the same war is WINNING. RP needs to bust out with something freaking AMAZING that would not only wake up some delegates but the general public IE. SHEEPS!!! really dont see your point of saying its far from over.. the establishment won this battle, but not the war IMO.

Well, lets see.... taking my state as an example, we just went from having to influence 3 Million people to influencing around 55. With a delegate strategy, that is.
