What The Hell????

[trapfive]

I'm proud to say that I'm part of the 4% that voted for Ron Paul.
I'm 36 years old & this is the first time I had a good reason to vote.
I never did like the idea of voting for the lesser of two evils & with
Dr. Paul I don't have to. He's the first candidate that I actually believed
wasn't lying to me or giving me lip service for my vote. He's the
first candidate that stood by his principles & never wavered from his
belief in the Constitution. He's also the first candidate that I've donated
money to as well (currently $801).

My vote will not end with Ron Paul either. I'm voting for every
Ron Paul Republican or Constitutionalist in every future Congressional,
Senate & Presidential race until the day I die.

My eyes are open & I'm never closing them again.

Just don't do what I did. I grew up Republican, thanks mostly to Reagan and as the Neo-Cons took over I dropped the ball and didn't pay attention. Thanks Dr. Paul, for opening up my eyes to reality. The truth is very liberating, scary but liberating.

Congressman Paul helped me realize that I was a constitutionalist.
Before this I thought I leaned more on the Democrat side.

Stupid stupid stupid people.

5%?

And still, no rioting in the streets. How pathetic.

Go back to sleep and await the pending extermination.

In Louisiana the ONLY signs I see are Ron Paul signs, Democrat or Republican, and I see a decent number of Ron Paul signs, I counted 6 in one hour of driving yesterday for example.

I suspect it's like this in other states as well.

I see only Ron Paul signs.

Wisconsin: 81% in. Paul in 3rd with 5% (15,167 votes)

Washington: 38% in. Paul in 3rd with 8% with 20,054 votes.

The national campaign did no ads in Wisconsin in my area. No TV whatsoever, a couple radio ads a few weeks ago. We've busted our butts here for him and zip. Nothing. No appearances, nothing from any family member even. We're all a bit disappointed that Wisconsin was ignored by the national campaign. People didn't even realize that he was still running. The media ignore him and lately it seems, he has been ignoring himself. I'm bummed right now after 9 months of hard work for 5%,

I saw that many counties in WI were for Ron Paul at 7% or better. One even had him at 10%! That's good, but the system is still corrupt!

 

[Matthew P.]

By the way - I know it sounds great that Ron Paul is in third - but hey, how good is third when there are only three? I guess it's better than third with only two!

Same in Kentucky and Tennessee!

I did see a lot of Obama commercials but no Ron Paul ads, no mailers, no phone calls...nothing.

As far as I can tell, it doesn't look like the GOP takes primaries, and caucuses seriously. After all, the parties themselves used to choose the candidate to represent them, but changed it to what it is now to make it seem more democratic I suppose. The GOP in congress doesn't like Ron, and that's it. They would rather lose the executive branch apparently. Stubborn idiots. I really hate the party more than the dems.

Did try to warn everyone to be prepared for this... sorry.

 

[Shaun]

We only got 5% REALLY. Wow, WHAT A SHOCKER?
Must be fraud, must be, absolutely, 1000% IT'S FRAUD I TELL YOU, THE BASTARDS HAVE IT IN FOR US. I mean it must be, because we had the best PR Firms, speech writers, images consultants, suits, sound bytes, best TV and Radio Ads, best advisors, strongest endorsements, most effective use of campaign funds EARLY on ( after all no campaign would be stupid enough to have 5Million left at this point...) also, we had a world class PROVEN, TRACK RECORD OF WINNING, HQ team of top flight executives, also we had an aggressive ass kicking campaign that IMMEDIATELY leapt on the other candidates weakeness's...so we had all this and yes, I can see it clearly, we got our usual 5% DUE TO FRAUD.
Get a life people.
This campaign was a complete jerk off with a bunch of "good ole boys" that Ron selected.
I love Ron, but ultimately the failure is on his shoulders, he was the CEO in charge, he was President of this campaign and he decided who his leaders were going to be. He chose wrong.
IT'S OVER.
Mercifully.

 

[Poltiical_Rebel]

I suggest you then refocus efforts to the Congressional campaign if the national run will not work for you.

 

[Mordan]

don't put the blame too quickly on Ron Paul's shoulders. They are many factors against us. And money is powerless against them. Chief among them is the media bias backed by the establishment.
you cannot change Ron Paul. If you want a chief executive... go look for Romney.. ah he left the race and endorsed McCain. There you go.

 

[Sandra]

In Louisiana Ron Paul won. The problem was our GOP DECIDED not to count the provisional votes simply because it didn't suit the outcome.

First of all, Ron is busy trying to defend his Congessional seat in Texas. Secondly, the campaign is virtually broke. The 5% of you that voted for Paul, Thank you. Now go to the website and each donate $50 so the campaign can do something in another state. The fundraising numbers have not been good this year.

Big statements to make without a source. Source please?

One of the Stevens Point precincts we did canvassing in, Ron Paul got 20% - so we essentially quadrupled his state-wide numbers. City-wide he got 13%, which I believe is due to our billboard and other activity.

I'm waiting to find out other numbers, but it's clear if HQ had spent money here on radio and TV, we would've done much better. But in order to beat McCain we would've needed Ron Paul to come to WI in addition to lots of media coverage. Most local newspapers didn't even include Ron Paul in the "candidate comparison" charts. Bastards.

Fantastic news AdamTt....states yet to vote should hear more about the canvassing details, and what was most effective to get the message across.

Stevens Point deserves Wiscsonsin's first "Liberty Center"
