Is it so different when Nigel Farage had to urge britons to support the Cameron instead of voting UKIP?

To my knowledge Nigel Farage has never urged anyone to do that, but if you have a link to further information that I can check out I'd be interested in taking a look.

Thats like saying I would rather be burned alive than drowning or being crushed to death.

No. The human mind tends to categorize things. Saying Mormons do this, or Mormons do that is kinda stupid because you talk about people you have never met. But its a flaw in are way of thinking or talking I guess. Very collective but you would be turning a blind eye if you try and ignore the massive mormon voting block backing mittens. Most of them could care less about politics. I was just at the caucus. They filled in.

I am sorry for the Mormons here but if you know anything about the history of Joseph Smith and that whole screwy church you would realize they are just a cult. They know it an have a chip on their shoulders for all the "persecution" they got in the 19th century. They are voting for Mittens just because they want to say the president is part of their cult. When Joseph Smith finished his manuscript...which he did by looking into at hat at a "seeing stone". He had his friend transcribe the book of mormon for him. Mind you this was the second writing as the first mysteriously disappeared. Joseph takes his manuscript to the printer who says he needs $3k in advance.

Not having any money and wondering how he is going to get the book printed....he looks into his hat and proclaims to his brainwashed neighbor and scrib Martin Harris as from coming from god...

"I command thee that thou shalt not covet thine own property, but impart it freely to the printing...And misery thou shalt receive, if thou wilt slight these counsels; yea, even the destruction of thyself and property....Pay the printer's deb!"

At this point Harris sold his property. Harris had already lost his wife and family over even listening to this fraud Joseph Smith.

What time do polls close in Alaska? It's 7 PM there now, I think they close at 8 so another hour.

When more south states come up I hope that Newt followed by Santorum win 90% of them. So at least the top 3 are all with the same amount so Paul can re-group and pick up delegates. Right now I am just hoping to go into the convention with Paul having over 500 delegates. The total number of delegates are 2,287 and 1,144 need to win so more the non-Mitt wins the better.

DELEGATE TOTALS INCLUDES EFFECTS OF THE PENALTY
CAUCUS STATES ARE DENOTED AS SUCH
TOTAL DELEGATES AFTER PENALTIES: 2,287
BOUND DELEGATES: 1,734
UNBOUND DELEGATES: 553
DELEGATES NEEDED TO WIN: 1144

The bottom line is Newt needs to do very great in more south states followed by Frothy.

Mitt took the lead in OH

Hell no!!! Gingrinch might actually pull out a win (and he's genuinely crazy, rather than merely stupid). And Romney will make this party unviable for the next 8 years. If someone other than Paul get's the nom, I'd just assume it be Santorum. He stands 0 chance of winning the general. That give us the next four years to hammer home the point that Paul was bringing independents and dems into the party. Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.

The Fargo Rally:

I would think that the rally was a lot of people driving from all the surrounding metros...

But there are no surrounding metros! Minneapolis is really far away, and Sioux Falls is also and not any bigger than Fargo anyway. Plus, he had already been to Minneapolis, so who is going to drive four hours to Fargo to see him again? Was it all the supporters all across North Dakota coming? Ron had already been to ND, too. And Fargo is way on the edge of the state. Who is going to drive 8 hours to Fargo but not 2 hours to Bismarck or Jamestown which are centrally located and which Ron visited in February?

It doesn't make sense.

It has to be that a lot of the people at the rally were locals who are not strong Ron Paul supporters. That's the best answer that makes sense to me, at least so far.

I wonder how many of these rallies are similarly full of largely non-Ron Paul people, there for the experience, historical significance, etc.?

Either that or there are RP people who will travel long, long distances in order to see Ron Paul over and over and over. Not just once; that I can understand. But who will drive 6 hours to see him again, when you just saw him two weeks ago, and three weeks before that. It's hard for me to believe that's the case. I don't think it is. So it has to be non-Ron Paul people attending these mega-rallies and making the attendance so huge.

Is Ron going to speak tonight?

 

[dawnbt]

I was looking at Maine on Google Elections and Maine is still at 87%. I almost forgot about that.

 

[Teenager For Ron Paul]

Now I know why the Founding Fathers despised democracy so much.

ah 12 eastern. my bad.

 

[COpatriot]

Exactly how I feel. At least with Romney in a general election I can say "fuck both of you" to him and Obama and probably stay home on election day. Santorum is the only one of the three jokers left in this field that would actually make me consider Obama.

Interesting! Can you recommend a book/webbernet site on this subject?

A good book is Under the Banner of Heaven by Jon Krakauer. It goes into the entire sordid history both past and present. It was during a time of spiritual awakening in the Americas and Smith jumped on the occasion to start a new religion. He was a known con man who was very charismatic. He had 36 wives. The Mormons act as if they were persecuted. Basically they invaded a town in Missouri and basically took it over, claiming properties and such as their own. When the local paper wrote an editorial about them they did not like it and burned the press down. Smith already a convicted fraud was arrested by troops and given over to a lynch mob. He was shot killed jumping out a window at the jail.

Well I am rooting for Santo now, just for entertainment in the general. I'll be voting Obama as much as I hate it. I'm still a delegate to the county convention, and will go to elect liberty people into GOP positions

Don't cut down other people's religion here. If you want to discuss religion go to the forum for it.
