JordanQ72 is the only one being realistic here and you should listen to him. McCain is going to sweep tomorrow and that's just inevitable. Paul isn't even actively campaigning in primary states anymore. What I find surprising is that you guys want to completely circumvent who the people have voted for as their Republican nominee and instead put in place a guy who has yet to win a state and only has 14-42 delegates thus far. I would love for Ron Paul to be the nominee, but it just isn't going to happen. The people have spoken and they have overwhelmingly chosen John McCain.
So Ron Paul is 'the enemy'? Fantastic... And you're talking about others not being realistic.
#!%^ you.
Ron Paul has NEVER quit.
Don't you dare put words in my mouth.
"How blessed I am to be associated with you. Carol, of course, sends her love as well."
It is signed Ron and written in first person throughout. I'm sorry but it is posted on the front of the website homepage. There has already been skepticism regarding Dr. Paul's newsletter. I'm sorry but it is not acceptable to say he didn't write this. Then how are you supposed to believe he's ever written anything?

There will be no brokered convention unless McCain strokes out before the date of the GOP convention.
You know what? If you're going to claim a letter written in the first person, with personal comments, posted to his official campaign website, for 4 days now, is somehow beyond his editorial control, then I don't care. Every single person who has ever said his campaign was completely incompetent has been dead on right. Also, I dare you to then find a way to deflect claims that all of his writings are not his own based on your own reasoning.
So you hate the campaign, don't think Ron Paul has even a slight chance of the presidency, don't believe Carol Paul, create divisiveness on the forums, and... why are you here again?
Oh, that's right... to bless us with your 'realism'.
I fart in your general direction.
Let's see, I point out that the scenarios under which a brokered convention would occur are highly unlikely. You call me a traitor or some such nonsense.
So why does this not apply to Ron Paul when he says the exact same thing? The OP title is completely messed up in this sense. It's not the media lying, it would mean Ron Paul himself is lying to us.
I've noticed you haven't been able to actually respond to a single one of the points I ever raise IN ANY THREAD. You just troll in every single thread I post constantly screaming I'm wrong and a traitor and such garbage without being able to give me the slightest reasoning as to why.
You're delusional, FLAT OUT. This is how I will now reply to any of your comments on any of my posts. You have never shown anything to the contrary.
Where? You SHOW ME something from Carol Paul. All I've seen is some nonsense from the same damn poster that claimed there was a billionaire financing Ron Paul only a few weeks ago. You're right, in my eyes, that person has no damn credibility to deal with.

Good job kiddo, with supporters like you it really escapes me as to why we've done so poorly. I'll let you have the last word you seem to so desperately need.

Think about what you just said for a minute. McCain is as unelectable as one can get. There are a variety of different groups out to get him. From Vietnam Vets, to anti-illegal alien groups to his bomb, bomb, bomb Iran spectacle, etc.
This guy is the most trippable candidate I have ever seen in my life.
And I'll take it.
You tell us Ron Paul has no chance.
If we take your advice, we give up.
That makes you wrong.
Period.
It really doesn't matter if we win the nomination or not. If we can have several 100 delegates chanting "Ron paul" or "Mccain is a liberal" during his speech that would be all worth it frankly. Then we carry on electing congressman. We want them to know we are here.
And don't tell me for one second that if we have enough ron paul delegates we couldn't make motions etc... THAT is what we want. We want ron paul a speech at the convention. That is a win right there people. Now go become a delegate. Minnesota has the mall of america, you can do some shopping.

What isn't realistic is, "The Media Lies! This WILL be a BROKERED CONVENTION," when in fact, that is certainly not the case. Those out you who are so sure of this are welcome to go bet on the brokered convention at intrade where you will receive $20 for every $1 bet.
And the guy said, "Who then for the most part must vote according to the results of this popularity contest. Come on guys, we've been over this. 80+% of the delegates are bound for the first vote."
The number is 75.5%, so he was off there, but certaintly much closer than the less than 50% you see around this board. For this you wonder if he is voting for Ron Paul.

Yes. I wonder that for anyone on these boards telling us we have no chance. If they believe that, why are they here?
Here's the deal - there are plenty of posts going both ways on the delegate issue. Now, I think we can accept as a given that there will be some people in here spreading misinformation. So who to believe? The person essentially telling us to give it up?
Ron Paul is still in the running. He said 'nearly', not 'no' chance and word on the street is that he didn't write the article in the first place.
Some question whether Carol Paul actually wrote that email - well, one piece of evidence she did is that the poster accidentally left her email address in the reply for about 30 seconds. I saw it, requested that he delete it, and he did. That tends to add some level of believability in my book.
At the end of the day, one can only judge a member of these boards based on their posts.
As long as the GOP National Convention is not done and over with, anyone telling us we have no chance is no friend of mine.

Yes it was. It's a state with both a caucus and primary, ie, a combination that provides the lowest turnout for the caucus. Our passionate supporters organized, trained, and turned out in numbers. I'd been hoping for it (along with a brokered convention) after Super Tuesday. Romney really hurt the chances for a brokered convention but as long as McCain doesn't sweep tomorrow, there's still a good chance (not that it will matter if we don't get out and win delegate positions).
