Missouri Caucus Results [MOD: MULTIPLE County victory details; MUST READ for all]

The chairman is the guy that came up and said they were withdrawing their slate because it was clear we had majority and he wanted to work with us. Knowing that he said the above and that he would've tried to railroad us had they got the chair, I could've shut them out and felt fine about it. However, this is politics and I would like to make some inroads with people before I start making enemies.

I'm sure someone else woud've done it different but our group of supporters there seemed to approve of it.

No you did right, you didn't need to Jones them, putting salt in their wounds and the Chairman was decent about it. so make friends, but watch his ass he knew he had lost, that's all. He/They, the 10, will surely team against you at state.
 
Threads like this really give hope to the short term revolution (getting the nomination), but then also show some long term stuff too, such as the platform. This is really awesome! And to think, we have so much time until the national convention. But there's a deadline for some things, so everyone get crackin'!

No candidate names were ever mentioned at our caucus. We all dressed like normal people. One notable thing we did, which I think was important, was to elect a new chairman. He didn't want to take the position away from the existing chairman (and old woman who's been running the caucuses for at least 20 years) but someone nominated him and he was voted in. We also chose a Ron Paul person as secretary.

I apologize to you Suzu, I did not see this post, where you clearly said, you and or others claimed no public support for RP and were not in RP garb!

I am sorry.
 
We nominated the outgoing chairman as a delegate and gave her a few votes to make her feel better about being tossed out after 20+ years.

I hope to see reports of many more counties' results in this thread. When I hear from the folks in the adjacent counties I'll post their results here.

Note: Deb Wells (State Coordinator) did an excellent job.

I'm sure she'd be amused to learn that she had been referred to as a "chick" since she probably has some great-great-great-grandkids by now! I mean, this lady is so ancient, that I felt like a youngster in her presence (I'll be 55 in two months).

She didn't seem upset, in fact she seemed to be pleased that there were so many people so interested in Republican politics all of a sudden! She urged us all to start showing up at other meetings and was curious why we had not done so in the past.

One of the nicest things she did was ask the clerks to print up new voter registration cards on the fly for those of us who had lost or forgotten to bring them along. There were at least five of us in that group, including me! And we would not have been allowed to vote or be elected as delegates without showing those cards. She even delayed the start of the meeting until we all got our new cards. How's that for sweet!!

Maybe you can bring her a cake or something at the next meeting to honor her service.

I thinks this illustrates an important point. A lot of people on this board have been quick to dismiss party insiders as "mindless shills".

But as evidenced above, us true Republicans were good-natured to those who had been stalwarts in the party, and things turned out well --- we need MORE of this!

Clearly each situation is different, but like many have said before..."You will catch more flies with honey than with vinegar"

Yeah, see, this was county- they know who you are now! I will be looking forward to your stated numbers for the Ron Paul Delegates that sent on to State from your 5:1 numbers.

The GOP does NOT CARE what you do at the county level. they have targeted you and your 5:1 for elimination at State.

Look, they will have private investigators sitting in parking lots taking pictures or videos of everyone in their cars. You get up, and run your mouth as a RP Delegate, and now they know a RP face, they tie your face to the car you got out of, now they know your name.

I will bet, you will come back here after State (if you have the guts to do so) and say, "Wow, the McPain people somehow got rid of almost all of our Delegates! How did this happen?"

They are using the counties to identify you as Ron Paul Delegates, so you can be targeted and removed at state,

What part of this is hard to understand? :mad:

please go away


Also, looks like theres pretty decent results. good job guys.
 
Oh my, that lady seems really sweet. I agree with Hawks though, do something nice for her next time. Man... I dunno why, but after that, I feel a little weird. Sort of weird to think there are people like that still present in a neocon infested party.
