Ron Paul Can't Win

[Rasputin_Vol]

The whole "legalazation" idea has RP supporters clamoring to get into things they lack the ability or judgement to understand.

I want to be clear and not twist what you are saying. It seems to me that you have made an assumption that most of his supporters are weed heads and you've made the assertion that Paul supporters do not have a full grasp of the issues because of their limited focus on weed.

If I'm wrong, correct me. If I am correct or in the ball park, could you explain what positions are held because of weed induced fog by his supporters?

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

Even here in VN if the Tao of Paul is questioned, the questioner is called things like "ignorant", "lazy" and a "hater of freedom".

I know 2 wrongs don't make a right, but if anything, the Paul supporters condescending appearance by some is only a reaction to the condescending portrayal displayed by the media of Paul supporters. Potheads, wackos, racists, isolationists and anarchists are the usual labels that are placed on Paul supporters.

Yeah, when they refuse to count the area Ron Paul has the most support in because the caucuses were delayed due to weather, it's bull****. They still get delegates, etc. but the media is going to portray Romney as the winner.

I could be wrong, but from what I've read the counties that didn't get counted were very small.

I have never taken recreational drugs in my life. Never had a desire to.

Can all of the people who dump on RP supporters about legalization say the same?

I've heard that they were small, and I've heard just the opposite. I'm not sure on this one.

Even if it is true, how is that relevent? Does it mean we don't have to worry about the hassle of counting them anyways?

Where does he say they all shouldn't be counted?

I apologize. It is wrong to make such broad suggestions.

Yeah, that's exactly what I was getting at. :crazy:

I was just asking why it was relevent that they were very small. If you want, you can tell me what you were trying to say.

 

[GAVol]

I was trying to say . . .

From what I have read, the uncounted caucuses aren't very large and won't change the result.

Not a lot of hidden meaning there.

You obviously haven't been listening to "the streets".

I kid.

That is what I assumed you meant. Which is why I then asked does that mean that we can just ignore them and not bother counting them. Then all hell broke loose...

First Read - Paul campaign disputes Romney's Maine victory

So is it foul play or not? What's the consensus?

 

[GAVol]

Caucus states are such BS. It's like they make up the rules as they go.

Kind of a double edged sword though. RP is playing the system a little to get delegates through caucus states, so it's slightly ironic when the caucus plays him . . . But all the votes need to be counted.

Notice that the "winner" of this poll is listed at the bottom. Interesting.

Paul is back by 194 votes, and one of the counties not being counted is the only county he won in 2008.

I live in a caucus state, and I love it. It's not perfect, but if we weren't a caucus state, Bennett would still be senator. With our more republican system for electing our state officials, he finished 4th as the incumbent.

Somehow he wins a lot of polls, but unfortunately for him he can't win a single primary or caucus.

I don't know anything about how Maine hands out delegates. In the end, are 100 votes one way or the other going to change the allocation of delegates?

I just don't understand why the media leaves Dr. Paul out like this.

Out of sight, out of mind.

Because once they start talking Ron Paul, people tune out.

Or people wake up?
