Paul supporters 'freak out' town clerk

[pikerz]

i dont feel bad.

lesson learned: count the damn votes accurately.

 

[ST0PandL00K]

Totally agree. Does anyone in any government position, from president to town clerk, get held responsible for "mistakes" anymore? no because it wasn't a mistake and this is just a sob story piece that the MSM are trying to put out. Why don't they focus on what she did instead. Shouldn't that be the real story. You can tell this is all staged by the outcome which is that WE get demonized for standing up for our rights and a fair election and the establishment come out looking like the victim. Please stop playing into thier spin. This is THE fight of our lives here.

United we stand. Divided we fall.

Exactly. You guys didnt expect a piece like this to come out regardless?

 

[dkim68]

pffft i am dismayed at how quickly some people here are willing to turn on our own supporters! Do you guys believe all the MSM hype about paul supporters being irrational crazies??

I have to say this. Grow some ballz guys.

Agreed. I'm already having to deal with some "I'm a better RP supporter than you are" childishness from people. Why are some supporters in this ridiculous pick-and-choose mode of who they want participating in their Revolution? It's not a cool kids club. It's America as a whole banding together for a cause. White supremacists and 9/11 truthers included. I really don't give a sh!t who's involved. We need everybody on-board for this to happen.

Some reality's of life.

1. Yes.. SOME of our ... Supporters are nuts ..

2. Some of the people here are not supporters of Ron Paul but claim they are.

3. The possibility that the people who called/sent email's /etc to this woman threating her and calling her names. Are actually not Ron paul supporters but GOP or even Democrat's who are trying to soil Ron Paul's name is quite high.

4. The recount will be done.. UNTIL the recount is done and a investigation is done NO ONE knows exactly all the facts. So i Caution anyone from causing hysteria before there is some evidence to prove without a doubt that fraud took place.

5. Those people who did harass this poor woman do not support Ron Paul.. If they did they would never have done what they did.

6. Until Proof Beyond a shadow of a doubt is presented we can not rationaly form a INFORMED opinion about this issue.



(That said.. I personally believe something is amiss.. with the vote.. But until i have evidence to prove it i can not in good conciounce scream cuss and yell about this. IF evidence comes to light that proves this was something more then a accident then we need to start screaming about it.)

 

[dkim68]

And we bitch about the ineptitude of the official campaign? How about the PR ineptitude of the grassroots? making harrassing phone calls

Did you forget that vote fraud has taken place in NH? You're basically saying question the results if you have to, but do it politely. And what do you think that would get you? Sometimes an aggressive stance is the only way you're going to get to the truth where deception is involved.

There is yet to be any positive proof of "Voter Fraud" Until then i think we should focus on what lies ahead and allow the recount to take place.

BTW.... Saying "Voter Fraud" means that the voters themselves did the fraud.

If you want to say it properly you should say "VOTE FRAUD"

Funny isn't it how much that R changes the entire meaning of what you are trying to say.

I'd say a 7% spread between machine vs. hand counts for Romney says something is definately up. No other Republicans came up with an oddball result like that.

I totally agree i personally think something went down. BUT !! Until there is PROOF of this we can not and SHOULD not act like children and harass people.


Doing so is only going to cause bad press and loose votes for Ron Paul..

She's hurt and nervous, but she's got a job.

"I've got a school board meeting Saturday," Call said. "I've got to be ready."

Well at least she still has her job .. at the school board no less. What a relief.. it would have been so unfair if the cops would have tasered her and stip searched her and locked her up with the weekend drunks with no phone call until Tuesday.. what a tragedy that would have been, to have been treated like a mere commoner.

Get real people. All the apologists are making me gag.

 

[dkim68]

UPDATE: This just in! Sutton town clerk Jennifer Call was paid an undisclosed amount by Mitt Romney's campaign to freak out.

j/k

 

[SilentBull]

I think it's horrible what happened to this woman; but I'll tell you what... In a way, I think it is good that people are afraid. People need to know that American citizens will fight for their freedom and they should be afraid to commit fraud, even if in this case, it was not her fault.

Edit: How hard would it have been for her to ask the person she was giving the numbers to, to repeat those numbers??? Isn't this a very important thing???

They SHOULD start being afraid of the American people. For how many years have people done nothing about the fact that they are being screwed every day by the people with power?

 

[jeffersonT]

Get real people. All the apologists are making me gag.

Yes.

 

[Adamsa]

We did it for the lulz.

.. I know I shouldn't find this funny, but I do. And I'm sorry for this, but one could swear we were the new internet hate machine after this article.

I think we are. :|

 

[MusoSpuso]

Absolute bull. There was something bogus that happened with NH. Something VERY bogus. People need to realise that they'd better not get vote counts wrong on ANYONE or they will be punished. Votes should be counted 10x if necessary. Vote counts are too important to accept "It was an honest mistake" as an answer.

She deserved what she got if it was her fault.

Agreed. This isn't a god damned beauty pageant. It's not a "minor" mistake with the stakes we're talking about. Sorry, it's just not "bad luck" that Paul was the only canidate experiencing these "issues". I have very little sympathy for so-called "victims" in these positions. It's sort of like an air traffic controller simply shrugging their shoulders and saying "oops" if they almost crash two planes. Take responsibility for the weight of your positions and suck it up. If you're innocent, you're innocent but don't play dumb and naive thinking that this isn't a huge deal. The freedom and future of this country is riding on this election. Period.

 

[MayTheRonBeWithYou]

This is the problem when you attract a lot of truthers and other conspiracy nuts..... they think everything is a conspiracy, because they don't have critical thinking skills.

 

[FrankRep]

Count the votes correctly next time.

"Opps" doesn't cut it.

 

[RP4Pres2008]

I for one am glad to see this.

Counting the votes correctly is imperative to our democracy. Filling out that form wrong, due to error or whatever, just doesn't work for me.

See is acting pretty smug about it all too...calling us "not rational" and grouping ALL of Ron Paul supporters together.

 

[John P Slevin]

proof some ARE crazy

The article clearly says she made the mistake.

NO! Quite clearly the article identifies "unknown" as the culprit.

Anyone reading ronpaulforums can be certain of one thing. Some Ron Paul supporters are bleepin crazy.

Read the posts above mine. Some of those posting before me either have a tenuous grasp on reality or simply do not care about right vs wrong.

The harassment described in the article is typical of many whackjobs who call themselves supporters of Ron Paul. Again, just read the posts above mine and ask yourself: Want to have all those people on the jury deciding on your fate? Or, is it possible some of them are far too crazy to be entrusted with jury duty?

NUTJOBS UNITE seems to be their rallying cry.

It's wrong to avoid the obvious...the obvious is that harassment as described in the article was perpetrated by nutjobs who consider themselves to be Ron Paul supporters; and also, it's an unavoidable fact that some Ron Paul supporters are whacked out, way around the bend, certifiably nuts.

 

[slamhead]

All I have to do is say..if you are going to volunteer to count votes in an election you better take into consideration your responsibilities. The only thing that separates this country from a banana republic is an honest and open vote where there is no question that every vote was counted and recorded accurately. I don't feel sorry for her. She should have taken her job more seriously..but unfortunately this is what you get from public servants.

 

[lx43]

What happen to the times when we as a people use to tarr and feather tax collectors???? That would be much more fun than harassing a town clerk.
