Why is Ron Paul still only at 5%????

[Join The Paul Side]

With all of the other candidates that dropped out and the conservatives bitching about Juan McCain, why is it that Ron Paul has gain no ground percentage point wise in these states having caucuses and primaries? I would think he'd at least gain a little ground and a few percentage points, but nooooo! Still at the 5% range. WTF is going on out there?????

It looks like people are saying "screw it" and voting for McCain. McCain 1st in Washington and Wisconsin so far. It sickens me to watch his little victory speeches. I'd just like to see 1 Ron Paul victory speech.

Vote fraud. Google it and you'll see its the private computers that control the election. 70% of Americans could have voted Ron Paul in this election and we'd never know it...

Vote Fraud....or voting out of fear.

They have trained everyone to live in a state of fear! So, you need to vote for someone who is going to protect you...someone who will wipe your ass when you shit your pants!

"I thought Paul was out", thank you MSM.

"when I got home I saw Paul's name on a CNN pie chart, oops! Oh well."

Stop screaming voter fraud. If the majority of America decided that Ron Paul should be the nominee, there's no way that Diebold could even edit that large number of votes down to 5%. It pisses me off how voter fraud, something so serious of a claim, be thrown around like fact. It isn't fact. There's no evidence other than a few counties that counted votes wrong. Remember NH recounts? Did our percentage point jump 20 points? No.

I say blame starts at the top. If a company is doing poorly and not making returns for the stock holders, the CEO starts making changes, because he knows he will be voted out if he doesn't. We havent' seen any CEO decisions from this campaign...other than hiring new people a little late, but keeping on the original staff that blundered the $17.5 million in the 4th quarter.

So you're saying, blame Ron Paul?

The Washington state election is stolen. The experience on the ground does not match these statistics.

I hope you all have rifles.

The problem lies in the memory cards and the INVISIBLE workings of computer chips. Do me a favor and try this exercise to understand. First, imagine your computer is a voting machine. Second, turn off your monitor. Third, have a few people walk up to the keyboard and hit either Y or N without you watching. Ok what won? Y or N? You don't know because you can't see it! Other than what your computer tells you, there is absolutely NO WAY to know who voted for what. The results are being trusted to a computer. An intentional virus could easily manipulate votes into BELIEVABLE results rather than the real ones.

Support either remains flat or even decreases because of that goddamned e-mail and media spin post-Super Tuesday. That stupid e-mail sent out by the campaign is murdering us. Almost everyone I talk to who isn't a die hard Ron Paul supporter thinks he dropped out.

They should've never sent the e-mail. I'm not sure if I believe the theories about internal sabotage, but there's no way I believe Dr. Paul himself wrote that piece of shit. All it did was open the floodgates for the media to scream that Ron Paul dropped out, and we have only a very limited ability to counteract this perception.

That would be a yes...I did say the top.

I think it has to do with the feeling that the primaries are pretty much over and the states from here on out really don't matter. Whether that's true or not is another thing, but that's what people are feeling I think. One thing I find interesting is the difference between voter turnout of republicans vs democrats. Go to politico.com and check out the numbers. For example, in Wisconsin (91% reporting atm) the total # of votes for the democrats is 1,002,058 and the republican turnout is 373,696. That's a pretty significant difference and seems pretty consistent across the states.

"Remember NH recounts? Did our percentage point jump 20 points? No." .. you paid attention to those recounts? So you saw how easy it would have been to take the boxes of paper ballots and remove/add ballots to get the count close enough?

And in many of the precincts in other states there is absolutely NO paper trail whatsoever. At the end of the day 1,000 people voted in a precinct but there is no way to verify how many of those people voted for candidate A or B other than what the electronic voting machine says -- and it's not that hard to get it to swap votes around. .. that said.. why bother... the media can convince people to vote for certain candidates and they don't have to worry with all that vote fraud mess and it's perfectly legal.

thank god we have diebold, so we can blame them !

I'm wondering how many dead people are voting tonight. Some guy called into Ron Paul Revolution Radio the other night and mentioned that after looking through voter records, his dead parents evidently voted for McCain.

 

[Edu]

So you're saying, blame Ron Paul?

It's more like this:

         ------ MSM
CFR -----
         ------ President  ----- Congress ------ You

So blame the top.

Dead people vote all over the world. It's a pretty old scam
