...Though the Ron Paul Campaign has not officially responded to the suit, state co-coordinators for the Ron Paul campaign and defendants have said that they are taking the incident seriously and are considering further legal action against the plaintiffs. They further stated that while a course of action had not been determined, they would not rule out filing criminal charges in the case.

"they would not rule out filing criminal charges in the case."


Time for another money bomb!

Ridiculous. God, anything to screw us over.

And I 2nd the money bomb idea

 

[soapmistress]

My question is this: if we count the number of people sued, does that mean we got that many delegates???

 

[soapmistress]

No I guess not. Nevermind

They can't get the lost votes back. The GOP won this one and it convinces me even more that the GOP is full of crooks.

The official complaint alleges that sample ballot cards printed by the candidates violated campaign finance laws since the cards were not paid for by a political action committee. It is however common knowledge that campaign materials distributed for the purpose of securing a party seat are not subject to the campaign finance laws of a candidate seeking public office.

Uhh. I printed out delegate sheets and handed them out. Nobody gave me any trouble whatsoever. Strange stuff. Of course, I'm not a delegate either.

I just don't git this politickin' bidness. I think they try to make it so complicated that you have to be able to afford a lawyer to participate on any level.

And when you figure out that's not true, they sue you so you have to afford a lawyer...

Yea I handed some out too.No problems for me. This just sounds crooked as all hell. The bosses sent their thugs in to destroy the ballots/handouts. Maybe PA really is, as blackboxvoting says, the worst place to vote in the US.

How did we actually do in PN?

Assuming you mean PA, we did the best we've ever done so far: 16% of the vote, which is 118k votes.

Huck got 11% even though he dropped out, around 91k votes. The rest went to McCain, obviously.

Really not trying to take the bloom off of a really sweet smelling rose, but we won in Louisiana. They may have mixed all the other votes together and reapportioned many to McCain so they could have plausible deniability of the fact, but we did.

I have no problem with LA doing better than PA, I just don't really understand exactly what went down in Louisiana.

Are you kidding, do you have any idea what it takes to be in this race, and thank God Kent has not spent the money. Along the way, I have watch many on this board push for more and more spending. Honestly, do you think that would have made a different. The more money we have going forward, the better the Ron Paul Republicans will be. Have you ever visited Ron Paul's office? If you have, you would have a bit more faith, and a bit more trust. But, with that said, you are certainly entitled to your opinion.

As far as this legal action, it only plays directly into the fact that the GOP is fighting itself, with or without press coverage.

Primarily, primary voters showed up to the polls and found Ron Paul supporters passing out ballots and ballots being passed out under a sign of Ron and Nancy Reagan labeled the Pro Family/Pro Life Coalition. Afterward, the latter were mysteriously distributed and allocated, Huckabee got less than expected and McCain was declared the winner.

The G.O.P. violated its own rules to a degree that our people held a rump convention. Torchbearer could tell you more.
