Paul Alleges Boondoggle on the Bayou

i can’t believe the author of this article writes for abc. besides using the word ‘too’ twice in the first sentence, a 5th grader could write a clearer, more interesting message.

No surprise here: the Republican establishment is afraid of Dr. Paul and those of us who support him. We are a threat to the power bloc that they have established with the Democrats, to the detriment of our nation and its future. They will do whatever they can get away with in order to suppress us, Dr. Paul, and his ideas. They might succeed in this election cycle, but the ideas are correct, and therefore powerful, and will grow as long as someone out here has the courage to advance them.

I lived in Louisiana in 1990. How little things have changed. Will it ever be who the PEOPLE want down there?

What’s second-rate about this article? This is IMPORTANT, and it’s time someone covered it!

Billy Todd’s correction of the writer is amusing given his own solecisms and mechanical errors. Be that as it may, Louisiana politics has always been in disarray so there’s no news there. Neither is it news that the Republican Party just keeps on committing suicide, in the bayou state and elsewhere.

I ran as a delegate for Paul in the Louisiana primary and I have to admit that one-third of our voters were provisional. Now this is just in my district of New Orleans. I don’t know about the others. But it was very strange because a few of our delegates even had to vote provisional, which doesn’t make sense. In order to be a delegate you have to be in the Republican party.

Well, it’s Louisiana. What did you expect, without U.N. election monitors at every corner? Of course the state GOP was bound to cheat. They despise and fear Paul as an outsider.
Caucuses are nearly always fixed by the bluehaired apparatchiks who run the local party machines, anyway. What’s surprising is that Paul actually got credit for as many votes as he did. And when all those other “provisional votes” are counted, I suspect he’ll do even better.
The so-called “pro-life slate” was simply an act of collusion by several of the also-rans, who pooled their votes to prop up the guy with the best chance of squeaking past Ron Paul. That happened to be the current “front-runner” McCain.
If the support is there, the story will follow, sooner or later. You media prognosticators really should have anticipated it, given Paul’s consistent ability to motivate his fans to mob the state straw polls. He can duplicate all that and more at the Super Tuesday caucuses, wait and see.

Ron Paul won. Time to roll up our sleeves again and get to work.

I smell something “FISHY”.
This is double talk for We can’t acknowledge people are on the Ron Paul Bandwagon, and He’s headed to the White House!
Come On U guys, this is the U.S.A., not the u.s.s.r!
Our freedom and our future is what you’re jerking around here

It is strange that such fear and suppression is directed at not at a movement of extremes- socialism, communism, fascism, anarchy… but at a movement to abide by our most traditional guidelines- the Constitution.
Have we strayed so far that the words and ideals of Madison & Jefferson are shunned and despised as much as those of Marx, Mao or Hitler?

I will have to give credit to ABC for at least trying to cover Ron Paul. The other news agencies seem to try to ignore him all together. I think if ABC covered Paul more they would pick up a great following. Ron Paul comes up under ABC search more than any other news agency search that I can see.

Remember,
“We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”
The Constitution is a road map to accomplish those few and limited goals. How far we have strayed.
And as Abraham Lincoln said on January 12, 1848.
“Any people, anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable and most sacred right – a right which we hope and believe is to liberate the world. Nor is this right confined to cases in which the whole people of an existing government may choose to exercise it. Any portion of such people, that can may revolutionize and make their own of so many of the territory as they inhabit.

To the ciminal media and all you criminal corporate bought and paid for politicians, you know who you are. Ron Paul will win this election!

I think the Republicans, Democrats, IRS, Federal Reserve, Planned Parenthood, Good O’l Boys, Status Que, etc., are all afraid of Dr. Paul. There afraid of change. But we as a country need big change right now! God, Family and Country. Let’s get back to our roots folks. Let’s get back to the Bible and the Constitution! I believe Dr. Paul is going to win!!!

Ron just won another debate….calm intelligent, focused, no one else even came close. This problem in LA needs to be talked up, make it known……

I just moved from New Orleans, and they have a saying about Louisiana: Half the state is under water, the other half under indictment!

I’m glad a news organization finally picked this up, They’re trying to steal a caucus where the majority is for Ron Paul.

What gives? Forward this article, however poorly written it may be. We all agree, the media sucks and is brainwashing the public, and while it may take another 4 years to get the message across, we need to begin immediately! We are up against the mother of all beasties. Let’s empty our pockets and roll up our sleeves for the Ron Paul Revolution!

I watched Dr. Pauls responce to the question at the last debate about whether he is electable. I liked his responce about the Republicans currently promoting democracy in Iraq but suppoting a dictator in Pakastan with 10 Billion dollars. And the irony of that to me is that as a nation even though we have a democratic style, if you will, of government we are a Republic with heads of state that govern not a democracy as so many like to refer. Dr. Pauls message , intellegence and vigor for American family values of God and nation are a thorn in the sides of our current elitest system that has taken us for a ride. I pray that the Lord upholds Dr. Paul through this election battle and that we still have enough descent peoples in our government to let him rise to the occasion. God bless you Dr. Paul our prayers and hopes are with you.

People across this country aresick and tired of being misled. This is only a treat to what is about to come if Ron Paul supporters don’t do whatever it takes to get him elected. Viva Ron Paul! Viva the Constitution.
Stand up to the corruption. Stand up for Ron Paul – our only hope for truth.

This will only ignite the masses to continue to join Dr Paul in getting our country back.This movement of Freedom over fascism will prevail !

The time for peaceful protest is near it’s end. It is our constitutional duty to revolt but they’ll just kill us. Any ideas?

This is BS!!! I cannot believe Dr. Paul is getting screwed like this!!! Im still voting and volunteering for him, I dont care what they do! Theyll probably rig the elections but then we have a responsibility to handle that…our founding fathers did it, were due.

What a shame. We are the leaders of the world? We run an election like a corrupt third world country. Maybe we’ll soon turn into one. Every empire crumples from within. The dishonesty is destroying our country and we are too blind to see it. Ron Paul is a breath of fresh air that will keep us from drowning. Ron Paul is the only candidate who can get this country back on track. Rarely have I come across someone so inspiring, yet so ignored by the corrupt media and establishment. We have truely lost our way.

From the 4th Congressional District of Louisiana straight from the mouth of the Louisiana GOP. Some 88 provisional ballots in this district (over 600 statewide) were cast. This was suppose to be the people who changed to republicans between Nov. 1 and 30 with the later being the cutoff date for voting in the caucus. The party would not pay for an updated list through the 30th. Ron Paul has some 6 delegates (15 total for each district in state)on the bubble within 30 votes of being elected as delegates. GOP headquarters just anounces that one Ron Paul delegate who is just 6 behind wins, all others lose. GOP headquarter says that the Parish Registrar of Voters determines that 2/3 of the provisional ballots were actually democrats and independents and not eligible to vote. Democrats and independents come out on a cold night all over the state and vote in a republican caucus. I smell a rat that is about to be sweep under the rug and forgotten. Lose the provisional ballots, no proof, no way t verify, no publicity, the machine wins again. No, the Ron Paul campaign people are in the state. This is not the end of this.

Who’s paying off these clowns? I’m sick and tired of this corruption….. it’s so damn obvious isn’t it. Ron Paul is probably winning all over the place but the powers that be are fiddling with the ballots. Shame on anyone who does… shame on them.

Just hang in there and fight we can do this

“ABC” stands for “Already Been Chosen.”

This is outrageous, The GOP should be held accountable. This is terrible to do to your own party members, and your Country as a whole.
Shame on you GOP, you are going to lose the White House, but maybe that is what you want.
In the end you are hurting all Americans. We want all the votes counted immediately.

Thanks for getting some truth out,this story must be Told……….
Vote Ron Paul

More and More citizens of this country are becoming aware of Ron Paul. He is still unknown to many voters that have become numbed by the media. Keep going door to door, keep marching, become precinct leaders, lead the charge…..
The time it nearing for change…
November… listen to the increasing roar…

America may well be beyond a “political” solution — the depth of corruption is pointing toward revolution (in whatever form) as the true need.

It is nothing short of scandalous that Ron Paul is not being accorded his full number of votes. How long will the public put up with being robbed?

How wonderful all these comments are. I never thought i would see the day of the awakening of Americans for the truth.

Whatever happens at the incompetent state elections doesn’t really matter. Ron Paul only needs about 10% of the popular vote to have an army of support. The masses of people who are voting in the primaries and in the general election will fall fast asleep after the election. The CFR manipulated mainstream media has everyone so focused on the presidency that they fail to realize that the real power is in the House. As those numb-numb voters go back to sleep on the couch in front of the boob tube, like a glob of rotting flesh, the rest of us will become an organized army of passionate patriots. Under Ron Paul’s leadership we will become the congressional district watchdogs across this nation on every piece of legislation that is voted on. We will have more power and influence than any president could. This is what the elite Washington Insiders should be worried about. Support the Ron Paul Revolution for the long run, and not just for the Republican nomination and the General election. REVOLUTION BABY!

Give me liberty or give me death. Id rather die than live in a nation of corruption that spreads democracy across the world and denies it at home! We have an obligation; Im not afraid to die but I AM afraid to live in a fascist state! HOW IS THIS HAPPENING!!!??? Do they not think that if they keep doing this we wont revolt? Our votes are everything to us in a democracy! I think Dr. Paul was right, the GOP HAS LOST ITS WAY! God help us…

The modern day Republican “machine” and its cohorts have now become a total embarrassment to the country and the world. This simply will not stand. A GROWING number of Ron Paul supporters are FULLY aware that this is only the BEGINNING of the revolution to end this sort of corruption!

If the news media cannot stop Ron Paul, what will they do? Pull another 911 stunt on us?
People are waking up to Ron Paul. The more awaken people become the stronger the move grows, and as such it will hit a momentum that will bust wide open and expose all those who stand in his way. There are good people in high places, once they feel the support of the people they will make a move to help save our freedoms!!
Ron Paul, your a saint!!

I was at the caucus in Lake Charles and personally saw several hundred more Ron Paul supporters there then the “unofficial report” said voted for him there. This is clearly fraud. I saw at least 700 Ron Paul supporters at central school at the time that I was there and that they would say that less then 250 people voted for his delegates in distric 7 is absord.

Let’s wake America up on Super Tuesday! Vote Ron Paul!

lots of prayer and support and he will be the winner! We can do it! Let’s be the true America again, stand up to the media and have real freedom!
p.s. can you just see how he will demolish the democrats in the debates when it’s down to two? It’s going to be amazing!!!!!!!!!!
Support Ron Paul!

My wife and I were two of those “provisional ballots” cast for Ron Paul. We voted at the Morial Convention Center in New Orleans. Ron Paul came in first in Louisiana no matter what they say. We love him down here. . Dr. Paul is the first Republican that I’ve ever voted for in my life.

While I’m an Independant, I mostly vote Democrat, but is there really a difference? Look at Nancy Peloski and her ban of thieves ripping at the Constitution, or what was left of it after Bush (same people) destroyed it. This year however, I’m not voting for the “lesser of 2 evils”, so I am voting for Ron Paul.
NBC, ABC, and CNN are I think out doing Faux for lies these days. From my part it does no good for companies to spend money advertising with you, I quit watching your “sound bites” a couple of years ago. If I want fantasy, I go to the movies. TV is for Amusement. To Muse is to think, add an A and it become to not think. Sorry, I am no Sheeple no more.
For the first time, I’m keeping my New Year’s Resolution. I have stopped supporting evil people (companies). That means I do not spend my time, nor my money with them. By spending time or money with evil people you say what they do is ok … and it’s not. It is not easy at first, Walmart on every corner, TV everywhere, new cars and gadgets, but it does get easier, before long, it’s second nature.

“The GOP is in a sad state of affairs if it has to rig its own caucus to prevent Ron Paul from winning. The GOP is fine with promoting democracy with illegal invasions around the world, but apparently not fine with promoting it here at home. Disgusting.”
WELL SAID.

Since the begining i have been watching the news and thought the major stations will be decent enough to cover all the candidates with fairness!!!
To my surprise i was wrong. I thought as mentioned above by numerous bloggers that we live in the USA and we have democracy!!! Again to my surpise i was wrong.
I have become a citizen of the US and thought my vote will count.To my surprise i was wrong.
The only thing i will be right, will be to vote for Dr Ron Paul and hopefully my vote will be counted .
But as far as i know elections could also be decided by our justice system. I am very scared.
God bless America!!!

What can we do when we peacefully fight against this tyranny that has taken over our government by duly voting in our respective communities for the change we know we desperately need? I am not a fanatic nor am I an extremist. I believe in the rule of law. Yet, “when in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another” I believe it is their duty to do so. I am not sure how many other people will say this about their candidate or how many other Ron Paul supporters would say this either, but as for me and those whom I know in my community that support Ron Paul we would be willing to risk our lives for Ron Paul. Not because of who Ron Paul is, but for the principles that he stands for; sadly, principles that so few other people seem to understand or care about. Hopefully, this latest example of outright absolutism will be corrected. Either way, this message is getting out. People are becoming educated. More people are realizing that you cannot become knowledgeable about such issues like government, monetary policy, foreign policy, history, and philosophy by watching the “news” on television and listening to 30 second sound bytes of rhetoric by pandering politicians.
Ron Paul 08

I think the previous post by Tim was important to remember. Even if Ron Paul isn’t on the final ballot we can still write him in. Now if we can only be sure our votes are counted.

The powers that be really have to kicking themselves for letting this whole ‘internets’ thing catch on. People are waking up, not only here, but around the world.

I don’t mind people telling me that I’m waisting my vote on Ron Paul. Much better to cast a lever for someone with no chance of being elected than candidates who have or plan to support misguided wars, anti-liberty legislation and unbalanced budgets. As for LA, the real story will eventually come out so those involved should start talking now.

The reason Ron Paul gets so little media coverage is clear. Those in power are afraid for him to be heard. The people SHOULD be the ones in power. Let’s take our country back! Spread the word. Ron Paul is the beginning of the future, and the only real choice for president!

As a people I believe Americans are slow to anger. This to our credit, however there is a time for everything. Now is a time for revolution! Ron Paul is an admirable individual but my vote it not for him; it is for the principals he chooses to represent. Now is the time for revolution simply because we may never get a second chance. We may never see another individual willing champion the ideals we hold as Americans. It’s time to go for broke. Each of us on an individual level must muster the courage to cast off the nets of complacency and powerlessness that have settled like a fog upon our country and our hearts. I served our country in the military at GREAT personal cost and with a genuine conviction and desire to keep and preserve freedom and the ideals laid forth in our constitution. If we do not RISE and MOBILIZE against the tyranny that is talking place, at the hands of our very own government (albeit HIJACKED), my personal sacrifice, as well as that of the many thousands before me…was for nothing. Our remaining liberties are in mortal danger. Though this movement may continue without Dr.Paul we will likely never get a second chance to rally for a common cause under a united front. This is the moment history has given us. Make no mistake, it will fade like the morning mist if Americans do not wake up to the monumental significance of the times we live in and muster the fortitude and conviction needed to fight the good fight. Live free…or die…or worse

Listen up, everyone. THIS is precisely why the second amendment exists. Our political system grows more and more corrupt every day. Do you know what I fear most for my children? Not terrorism. Not a financial collapse. Not a lack of jobs. What I fear most is that our political system will become so corrupt that only an armed uprising against our government will fix it. God help us all if that happens.

I sense a lot of support for Ron Paul on the internet. Why is he not talked more about in the media?! Its very frustrating…

This is disgusting. The media is excluding Ron Paul. The voting is rigged. I am embarrased to be an american. Nothing is as it seems. We need to start protesting.

If we vote with the “soapbox” and that doesn’t work, then we vote with the ballot box, then we vote with our wallets. LAST of all if these don’t work then we vote with the “cartridge” box!

Thank GOD there are so many people aware of these awful corruptions of our system. Let’s keep a close watchful eye at all the rest of our caucuses and document how many supporters show up to the polls so we have the HARD “EVIDENCE AND PROOF” that show RON PAUL is who we want and need to be the next great president of the United States!!!!!!!!!!!
:also Mitt Romney and Hilary Clinton: are starting to advertise via television so we really need to step it up here in UTAH and introduce the people here to
!!!!!!!HEAR THE ROAR GROWING!!!!!!!!!

Yes Sir,
You and the rest of the msm are in choots with the two parties in this country. This caucus is a joke. When will we see the rest of the vote tally. My guess never.

We will throw the bums out… As the Party grows with Ron Paul supporters that get the message of our Constitution we will follow his lead and replace the crooks!

There’s one very interesting mater in all this. I live in Serbia, Europe and I can get no info on Dr. Paul’s campaign but I am virtually bombed with news about the race between Obama and Hilary. Media are controlled all over the world and are all trying to impose just one point of view upon every man, woman and child. Their truth is the only one while anyone who dares to raise a different voice is automatically proclaimed an enemy of democracy and human rights, a backward and primitive savage etc.

“one Man, One Vote”… Except in Louisiana when you’re running against Ron Paul. COunting people TWICE?!?!?!?! Once for their Candidate, then AGAIN for the ‘uncommitted/Fusion/WE-WILL-PREVENT-RON-PAUL-FROM-WINNING-AT-ALL-COSTS Slate’!
ANd the media is no better than PRAVDA in the old Soviet Union in COMPLETELY ignoring this blatant case of election fraud! If Hillary or McCain were cheated like they cheated Ron Paul, that would be front-page headlines on every newspaper and TV outlet in the country!
Welcome to the Soviet Socialist Republic of Amerika! WHere every vote counts, but some count more than others!!!!

+++++++++++++++++++++

The fact that Ron Paul got to speak only 4 or 5 times in Thursday’s MSNBC debate while everyone else got to speak longer and more frequently is blatantly suspicious in my opinion – I hope other American’s are noticing how he is being slighted in the media and more importantly ask ‘Why?’ The ‘powers that be’ (those with the big bucks running corporations) don’t want anything to change and neither do the politicians on their payroll – which does not include Ron Paul. So, they are afraid and that is why all of this happens…they are hoping everyone will forget about Ron Paul or never notice him to begin with and that he will go away. I support Ron Paul even though I don’t agree with every viewpoint he has – for instance, I am pro-choice. However, I think he is honest, cannot be bought, and has excellent ideas for fixing the economy and our foreign policy and I hope both Ron Paul and this movement will continue regardless of what happens in the fake world of politics!

Now take your message to the People.
This is one example that should anger everybody.We have been taught that Our vote was precious and now that is being STOLEN ALSO ,along with liberty and freedom…

The way it works is simple. Everyones’ boss is the same person: the head of the Federal Reserve, who calls in media bosses one by one to say “we don’t like Paul – neither should you.”. They follow like sheep. Cowardly sheep.

People of L.A. need to get this incident on the public record! This is the only way these criminals will pay attention. If I were in L.A. and I were a registered Republican and selected for a delegate vote I would have called the police and charge everone telling me that I had to vote with a provisional ballot. I would then take that police report to the District Court and file criminal charges against each individual at that polling station. These people are only doing what the National Republican Party is telling them to do. If you start charging people as individuals in court which makes them liable as individuals they will be forced to divulge who told them to change the rules and a trail will lead to whomever is at the heart of all this deceit. Charge these criminals with vote fraud and watch the rats jump ship.

jeez, i thought it was going to be an interesting article, got bored by it pretty quickly, and gave up trying to get through it.

Ron Paul is the only chance left at salvaging American legitimacy around the world. We waste our money and squander our civil liberties over a few terrorists. Terrorism is a military tactic, not an enemy. We need to stop slaughtering innocent people!
Ask yourself a basic question: Why does a candidate who is winning get less media attention than those that are losing? Does this seem like “fair” media reporting?
Does it seem to be fair and balanced reporting when a candidate’s name is only mentioned when the word “long shot,” “dark horse,” or “fringe candidate” are said in the same sentence?
Ron Paul 2008!

I campaigned for George W. Bush when I was 15 and I campaigned for Senator Santorum when I was 17. But never have I seen a candidate I could vote for in PA that I could back 100%. I thought I had to move to Kansas or something. This time I’ll campaign for Ron Paul and thank God I can vote for him too!

you bet abc and main stream media are affraid, Dr Paul is speaking of real change in government and their fleecing of the American people will soon be over.
They dont like that there days of controling the American people are numbered,

After attending a jammed-pack rally in N.O. (not fairly covered by the media) I am convinced of Dr. Paul’s love of our country and plan for its success. We must continue to believe and fight for such a man to help us out of the down-spiraling of America.

Huey Long tactics are cute when I read about them in a history book, but disturbing when I see them in the Lake Charles American Press.
Welcome to the Louisiana Hayride!

Folks, what’s good for America isn’t necessarily what’s good for the Democratic or Republican parties. Look at how they conduct themselves, they’ve turned the political process into an NFL matchup. It’s not about who’s doing what, it’s what team you’re on. I regret that my current Democratic affiliation will prevent me from voting for Ron in the primaries, but I’ll be marking him in on the main election whether I see his name or not.

I had almost lost hope, we have been lied to and robbed by our own political system and the media for so long that it takes no small amount of effort to be an informed individual. Ron Paul’s campaign is simple and genuine and based on those values that made our nation a great nation all those years ago. I have faith in Ron Paul and support him fully. He cannot lose. No matter what happens, though we as supporters make every effort to ensure victory, this is an idea whose time has come. The kindling is set and a passionate flame is growing in the hearts of Americans across the country. Americans who are sick of fearmongering, supression, executive power, special interest and lies. Apathy is dying and THAT is what politicians should fear the most.

This country lost it’s way years ago, but very few have been paying attention. The saying, “A stitch in time saves nine”, means that patching a small hole now saves you from having to patch a much larger one later. Well, our country now needs about eight spools of thread. People are finally waking up to this fact and realizing that the only presidential candidate, not involved with the criminals who ushered in this disaster and who can restore our nation, is RON PAUL. The Democrats, Republicans, and media all know it is true, which is why they are trying to turn the ever-growing elephant in the room into a disregarded coffee table. If the people of this country continue to grow in their banding together of support for RON PAUL, we have a chance. I shudder to think what will transpire in the next four years (to make RON PAUL’S chances next time an impossibility). We saw how 9-11 ushered in a huge explosion (no pun intended) of executive power and chipping away of our rights and freedoms (whether people are noticing it or not). What more are “they” going to add to this “program” in the next four years? I love my country but I fear my government. The time for rEVOLution is now. The next four years will be exponentially frightening if we do not stitch NOW. May God, Whom has most likely turned this country over to it’s own evil ways, hear the prayers and pleas of those who want it to be different, and may we listen to His lead through it all. Amen

The elites are fully aware of our growing discontent with the status quo thievery taking place from within our borders,the lies peddled as truth,the claiming of individual liberty as being a state granted priveledge,the manipulation of our hard earned monies depriving us of what we have toiled for with our personal endeavors,yet they have the arrogance to believe that they can continue ad infinum without consequence or responsibility for their actions.I personally have lived a full life,have experienced both the good and the bad,have fought and bled for my beliefs,and only regret that I have but one life that I can give for my flag,my country.Keep your powder dry,and may your aim be true when the time comes,for surely it will come.My patience is strained,as is the patience of others in this CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC,and if we must,we will forcibly take back that which is rightfully ours,as well as punish the treasonous trash that have attempted to divide and conquer through deceit and manipulation.May God bless and watch over those of us willing to do his duty as true patriots should.

I swore I would not EVER vote Republican after “Read my lips: No new taxes”. Paul changed all that. Guess I will be back to never voting Republican again… GO RON PAUL!!!

I was a delegate in District 7, and was not even aware of the 1/10 – 1/12 rule change. That’s just amazing.
I mean, they’ve done some shady stuff this time around, but that just takes the cake.
How many of our delegates came in after the deadline? 0
But how many of the pl/pf ticket did??

go Ron Paul, America needs the change you will bring to this Country,
when people fear their Government it is called Tyranny, when Government fears the people it is called Freedom.

Channel 7 news ABC in Chicago area often misrepresent Ron Paul they still claim Giuliani is ahead of him.
Very bad! ABC is very bad place for real news.

“In multiple instances, state-certified Ron Paul delegates that were on the ballot were forced to file a provisional ballot despite the fact they were pre-approved as delegates.”
Yes, the established parties play tricks. Get inside their system with a few of your friends and work their corrupt system.
Nevada, LA, and others will be Ron Paul’s later this Spring when results are official. Until then continue to spread the message.

This is disgusting. Party politics have ruined the United States political process. I can only hope that it will further invigorate supporters of Paul’s camaign.

It’s becoming more and more clear that the idea of ‘of the people by the people and for the people’ is an absolute sham. It looks like we are not living in a democracy but rather a much more crude system based on deception.

I am registered INDEPENDENT here in Louisiana ever since a heard Ronald Reagan speak at Tulane University someting in the 60′s. That was a speech from a man of character. At the rally this week in Baton Rouge I listened as Ron Paul spoke his message of constitutional government and was impressed by the support of so many young people (I am 69). Dr. Paul may not win the election or sound like RR but he will have my vote, because he is HONEST. Yes, politics in Louisian are a bit strange to others and to some of us too, but we’re all good people trying to do the right thing. People, use that space between your two ears.

It is hard not to like and agree with the limited-government approach of Dr. Paul. No politician perfectly represents everyone, but he seems to be 90% more right than the other candidates. As others have mentioned above, if what has happened seems unfair, follow the money to determine who stands to lose by Paul gaining “official” popularity.

I posted a positive comment this morning but it was not posted.Is this blog censored like every thing else?

Ron Paul knows that we have strayed greatly from the true intent of why this country was formed. It would appear that the press is in the government’s back pocket, so it’s up to us to make our voices heard. Ron Paul is well aware of certain dangers about to threaten our civil liberties, one being the Nais program to microchip our animals, a voluntary program about to go mandatory that works by way of GPS Microwave Radiation. Through this, we can be monitored daily, and it also compromises our security by being able to transmit our information to another country. Forced health care/microchipping is a violation of our Constitution. If we do not understand our constitution, we will lose our freedoms and we will be next. Ron Paul is the only person that I have really wanted to vote for in a very long time. I am appaled, but not surprised, that this is happening. After all, this is all about control.

MegaDeath once uttered: “Peace sells, but whose buying?”
Blowback is a bitch.
Remember that.
Do your homework people, vote Ron Paul.

There is so much corruption at every level. Ron Paul’s candidacy threatens all those who have used the cloak of government to acquire wealth and satiate the need for power and control. This includes the mass media (print, radio & TV networks) and the Republican Party themselves who are carefully orchestrating a way to stop Dr. Paul from gaining any momentum. Don’t let that stop those of us who see what is happening, even if that means organizing and practicing civil disobedience. That is our right, and if we don’t speak up now, we WILL be in Iraq for 10M+ years and hand our future generations a North American Union rather than a United States of America.

I just e-mailed our new Louisiana governor, calling his attention to the alleged voting irregularities that occured during the caucuses. His main item of his campaign was “cleaning up Louisiana ethics”. Asked – what are you going to do about this? we’ll see.

What’s the E-mail address for the governor of LA. Every citizen of the state of Louisiana who is for Ron Paul or for free and fair elections should E-mail their governor and hold his feet to the fire on his promise to “clean up Louisiana ethics”.

It’s time to put Private Investigator on the local ballot counters to track there every move. Something will rise show who they really are. As the saying goes “Scum will rise to the top”.
I like that ABC has covered this but we all know that ABC CBS Faux(fox) and NBC all have puppet strings tied to them. That is the reason why all there ratings are down, and people are turning to alternative media, and independent journalist, like Alex Jones(www.Prisonplanet.com, Katherine Albrecth (caspian.com),& Paul Joseph Watson(infowars.com) for the real truth.

Chris said: “I posted a positive comment this morning but it was not posted.Is this blog censored like every thing else?”
Yes, this blog is actually highly censored, but I’m not sure what their censoring criteria are. Someone’s post last night mentioning NPR’s lack of Ron Paul coverage and my response to it have both been removed. Very odd. FWIW, my response to the comment about NPR’s lack of coverage was something like: I’ve actually heard 2-3 halfway positive pieces about Ron Paul on NPR, which is 2-3 more than I would have expected.
Not sure why those comments were deleted by this blog’s moderator.

There are SO MANY problems with what happened in Louisiana, it’s unbelievable!
First of all, why would it be so hard to print out a list of everyone registered by Nov. 30? They only had a month and a half to get that done! Guess that’s not enough time! Approved delegates and those with their voter registration cards should not be told to cast “provisional” votes. And changing deadlines is never cool. If Jan. 10 is the delegate deadline, that’s it.
Finally, I don’t see HOW you could be considered “uncommitted” anything, if you are also a committed delegate for a particular candidate. Apparently that is allowed, but it should not be!
Finally, if you don’t like the results of an honest election, TOUGH.

This deserves a full investigation by both the media and the state elections officials.
Worst among all the GOP’s actions to date is their claim that 2/3 of the provisional ballots are disqualified. This is very suspicious and must be verified by an independent and unbiased investigation.
I heard that LA’s Governor was seeking to end the corruption LA is infamous for -this would be an excellent place to start!

It’s no wonder that George Washington was against the formation of political parties and warned us against them. Todays political parties have a stranglehold on the system and total control of who comes up within them. It is up to the people to rise up and overturn this corrupt house of cards. It is our duty as Americans to defend our constitution, not those who would subvert it. The Declaration of Independence states that it is the right of the people to alter or abolish any government that becomes destructive to the principles upon which it was founded. I say it is better to alter the course of our government now than to have to abolish it later, for we as a free people cannot and I suspect will not continue down this path that is being forced upon us without a fight. So rise up people, stand and be counted before it is too late, for unless something changes drastically the day is coming when you won’t be able to.

maybe we need to boycott media
we can write Ron Paul in.
WAKE UP AMERICA!

Thanks to the person who suggested the script for the answering machine. Great idea. Everyone can do that. I’ve put signs out and donated and will keep doing all I can to get this man elected. The multi-nationals who run this country and who want the status quo to stay just like it is, and since they control the media, will continue to ignore and ridicule this fine man. Don’t give up the fight. Let our voices be heard until they are sick of hearing us! Go Ron Paul!!!!

I have a friend who grew up in California but works as a commercial diver in Louisiana. He lives in Florida when he is not working off-shore because he says Louisiana is very corrupt. This doesn’t surprise me at all. It is too bad. I am sure there are good people in Louisiana. They need to throw out their corrupt politicians and any other corrupt government employees.

Machines can throw votes. We can take the voter cards and have names on them. Voters can punch a hole for their candidate or other and put a write in before giving them back.
That way we can check up on the machines and do a recount.

using too twice in first sentence? They were correctly used, what’s the big deal

The way the GOP and MSM are treating Ron Paul, is one of the most disgraceful and anti-American things I’ve ever seen.
I don’t even feel like I live in the land of the FREE anymore.
I’m ashamed to live in a country where all the political candidates are NOT being given an equal voice.
I’m ashamed to live in a country where the GOP and MSM thinks it can tell me who to vote for… and I’m just supposed to fall in line.
I’m ashamed to live in a country run by elitists… who won’t listen to the voice of the common people and won’t even give us a fair chance to be heard.
I’m ashamed to live in a country where politicians and the MSM manipulate poll results and defraud voters… and steal our only opportunity to have a say in how our country is run.
But mostly… I am so disappointed to have the last of my illusions about the strength and freedom of this country… wiped away by such a blatant disregard for personal freedom and public opinion.
I wish I was a rich elitist… living in a gated neighborhood… sending my children to private school… while letting other people fight and die in a pointless, endless war that never touches me… while leaving the borders wide open and letting our country be over-run by illegal immigrants that never reach my neighboorhood.
But instead… I’m a stay home mom, trying to budget every dollar to make ends meet, so I can stay home with my children… driving my kids to school every day, because the buses aren’t safe… keeping a constant eye on my kids, because our neighborhood isn’t safe… waiting in line at the low-income clinic with my sick children, behind 20 illegal immigrants who don’t speak english and are getting health care for FREE… while I struggle to pay for it.
And when I heard Ron Paul speak… I finally thought the end was in sight… that there was finally a politician who understood what was happening in America and would help us fix things.
But now I see that nothing will ever change… things will only get worse… and my children may look forward to a future even bleaker than mine.
And I want to thank the GOP and the MSM… for wiping away the last of my illusions… and snuffing out my last bit of hope… by trying to erase the only candidate who really speaks for the common people of the United States.
And I want to ask Dr. Paul not to give up… because there are thousands of people just like me… struggling to get by… and we need you to keep trying to speak for us.
Thank you Dr. Paul… please keep fighting!

Dr. Paul already has my vote.
Why are people posting multiple and duplicated messages under different names?

If Hillary gets the Dem nomination, I really hope Ron Paul runs third party (the GOP won’t let him win – that is clear) so I can vote against her. I can’t vote for anyone that didn’t oppose this ridiculous war in the first place as I did. An Obama/Paul supporter may seem strange, since they line up on only one issue, but it is the most important one for me this time. That, and they both seem to have voter fraud being perpetrated against them, which just makes me so mad. We are becoming our stereotypes of the third world, with nepotism and ballot box stuffing being the main factors in who rules. It makes me sick.

We would think that after all the accusations of rigged elections over the last decade, the Republican party would get the hint that republicans want a free and fair election. At this rate, the republican party will not redeem itself in the eyes of the public. This is indeed sad. The republican party needs to reform its election ethics in accordance with the mandate of We The People. Why is the GOP ignoring the mandate of the people by implementing unfair election practices? Dr Paul has repeatedly said “if you subsidize something, you get more of it.” This applies to election practices. If the republican party adopts corrupt election practices, it will only get more of them. Corrupt election practices only add fuel to the fire which has seated the agenda of corrupt politicians. The public wants an end to the corruption which has plagued our government since the time of president Wilson. It is the media’s job to expose corruption. Yet corruption is not only not exposed by the media it is outright buried. This is a terrible mistake. The public no longer trusts the media, or the government or even the election process.
In the debates Dr. Paul is applauded time and time again because he is as honest as Abe Lincoln. This applause has been silenced time and time again by the media and via the Republican election practices. It is time to break the silence and award Dr Paul the votes that he has earned fair and square. Ron Paul has diligently served the republican party and the interests of the American public in congress for ten terms. The Republican party owes him a debt of gratitude. It is time for republican party to make good on this debt.

The Government is SO scared of Ron Paul because he tells it like it is. Uh,…hello!…That’s exactly the type of President that we need! This Primary election stuff is total crap. They should just ran one big election at the end of 08 with all the candidates and then let us vote for who we want to win. Get rid of this Primary crap! It obviously doesn’t work because it’s so corrupt.

The crooked GOP may try to stop him but the fight is on. Dr. Paul is showing up these cronies. La. is not the only state with problems of the GOP stabbing one of their own in the back. Matter of fact the only one of their own. How can the Republican party actually stand behind such liars as McCain, Huckabee, Romney and Julie and turn their backs on a true Republican such as Ron Paul. Come on Constitution Party, Libertarian Party, America First Party, Green Party etc.

I called the LA GOP and they said the official tally could be out as soon as today. They explained why the date change Jan 10 moved to Jan 12 because one of the town papers came out on thursday Jan 10 which was not enough notice and all the delegates will be counted once they compare the official voters list.
Ron Paul message may need its own network. Liberty Radio and Cable TV or maybe Internet TV for starters.
The American people deserve liberty.
All we are saying is give freedom a chance.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH for mentioning this fact about the elections in LA.
Very good journalism.
This is the real job of a journalist , to show facts & reveal the truth but not to advocate ideas & promote candidates like most of other repotors do, & some impose their own openion on us.
THANK YOU AGAIN for your courage.

I heard the way they slighted the vote is by the other three candidates forming a cohesive “uncommitted pro-life” slate – (from which Dr Paul was omitted [even though Ron Paul is also pro-life so dont understand the logic there, but anyhow]) hence it took the combined effort of all three candidates to beat Paul, otherwise he would have won Louisiana. And since he did come in “second” to this illegal “unionizing” – they had to have a separate run-off for the candidates within the illegal union (and McCain came out on top). So basically if the corrupt Louisiana GOP actually actually did the job they were supposed to we would see that Ron Paul would have won Louisiana, and that McCain would have come in second. — What sad times are these that the filthy Louisiana GOP have to betray the voice of the people. People should really be looking into this…
And I now pledge that if McCain wins the Republican nomination there is no way i will vote for him, even if it means writing in Ron Paul’s name on the ballot or God forbid not voting or even voting democrat. – the American people should not stand for such FRAUD as what happened in Louisiana PERIOD!

What I can’t understand is how there is absolutely no news coverage of a candidate who had raised as much money, if not more, than any other candidate. The only Republican to oppose the Iraq War and hardly any mention. Any coverage I see of Dr. Paul always mentions his “crazy followers”. Seriously? Leave Iraq, abolish the IRS, take care of Domestic affairs, and adhere to the Constitution. Someone explain to me what is crazy about this. My gas is $3.40 a gallon. My health insurance went up to $300 a month for just me. Everything is way more expensive than it’s ever been and I don’t make any more. Who is crazy? Please, let’s get together and make a difference. Let’s agree to unite and make this whole planet a better place. Perhaps, I am crazy.

Congressman Dr. Paul is doing so much better than the news media has portrayed him. Don’t believe what you hear and see. Support Congressman Dr. Paul, he is our hope for a better tomorrow, a better country, and a better you.

Media: Damn…Ron Paul makes sense, and some of the sheep..hehmm..I mean American people… understand him! Ohhhh Noooo! Lets focus America’s attention on every other candidate but him and do everything in our power to prevent him from winning.
Don’t stop believing! Ron Paul can be President despite all the twisting he endures from the corrupt.
“The man who makes a success of an important venture never wails for the crowd. He strikes out for himself. It takes nerve, it takes a great lot of grit; but the man that succeeds has both. Anyone can fail. The public admires the man who has enough confidence in himself to take a chance. These chances are the main things after all. The man who tries to succeed must expect to be criticized. Nothing important was ever done but the greater number consulted previously doubted the possibility. Success is the accomplishment of that which most people think can’t be done.”
C. V. White

BigD,
All of the establishment “candidates” represent the same thing, whether democrat or republican. Their strings are pulled by the same controllers, which is why they all get media attention. Voting for any of them, including Huck will result in the status quo being maintained and more communism will result. Voting for the lesser of evils will only result in more evil. My vote will go to Ron Paul to the bitter end AND TO NO ONE ELSE, even if I have to write him in. Huck is not one bit different than Hillary in the final tally.

Arizona is definitely in play for Dr. Paul. We have a strong organization here and many committed supporters. Lots more than McCain in his “home” state. (McCain is a carpetbagger much like Hillary in New York) I am not surprised by the Louisiana political machine, it’s simply up to it’s longstanding corrupt ways. Super Tuesday will undoubtedly shake up the Republican party. Dr. Paul has much more support than most know about. The best thing about an “event” like the Feb. 5th primaries is that there is not so much of the media saturation by each candidate and individuals are more apt to vote for the candidate they are “FOR” as opposed to the one they saw the most media attention lavished on. Keep the faith Paul supporters. We can take this all the way to the convention.

Sometimes I feel like we as Americans (generalizing)get exactly what we deserve. We dont stay informed. We dont vote. And when we are really outraged,we write comments online.(not a very bold display)(I dont want to go to jail either)Basically, we close our eyes, open our mouths, and swallow what they give us!(disgusting)I just dont know where to place blame. Is it THEM,or is it US?

this is just getting ridiculous. NH is one thing. Nevada another. Now LA? The system is flawed and we need to fight for what’s right and… whatever.
“…that whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it…”
Declaration of Independence

Mr. Paul will be our next President.We as a Nation will support Ron Paul all the way to a better Country. I am a hard core Democrate and become a Republicant Just for Mr . Paul. All others candidates are nothing but liars

The Romans learned 20 centuries ago that you can’t fight an idea with swords and clubs. The Republican party will learn that they can’t fight the ideas of Freedom and Liberty with cheeting and lies.
The truth always goes through three phases.
1. It is denied
2. It is violently opposed
3. It is accepted for what it is.

Dr. Paul has the right message for the times. The Republicans and Democrats are scared to death that his message will resonate and are doing everything in their power to silence him. If the electorate wasn’t so brainwashed by the media he might stand a chance.

I fall in love with Ron Paul and he cured my apathy.
However I have a hard time converting some people to Ron Paul.
Ron Paul must win! I’m doing all I can for make sure of that.

The People Will Speak!
The Benton County Republican Committee conducted a straw poll on Tuesday night. (Huckabee was the governor of Arkansas)
The following are the results:
Paul: (36.6%)
Romney: (24.6%)
Huckabee: (21.1%)
McCain: (14.1%)
Giuliani: (2.8%)
Thompson: (0.7%)
A victory for the Ron Paul Arkansas team! Note: Benton County is Arkansas’ largest Republican county.
The Arkansas Democrat Gazette covered the event in today’s paper

So, you want to put on the hurt on biased television and paper media? Here it is folks,BOYCOTT,BOYCOTT,BOYCOTT!!!!!Stop supporting television and newsprint advetisers.Lets hit them in the pocketbook hard,real hard.They think “We The People”are weak and won’t do anything to help ourselves.Buy only the basic things you need to survive,thats it.Cut up your credit cards and stop buying the JUNK from overseas.We can make ‘em hurt,the Bosten Tea Party is just a precurser to the United States Freedom Party.C’mon,mobilize yourselves and take action now.

Ron Paul is the only candidate who will be able to make any real change. He’ll work with the Congress, however, as President, he has authority to save us a trillion a year alone in taking the military home and back to US soil worldwide! He’s a true Statesman and DESERVES MEDIA COVERAGE!

I am not complacent but for the first time in decades I have genuine hope to live in a country that I will not be ashamed of. Thank God for Ron Paul and others like him.

The shooter would’ve voted for Dr. Paul.
How bout you?

YES! Hope… “HOPE FOR AMERICA!”
Thank you for your inspiring words, “B A Wake | Jan 26, 2008 3:44:52 AM”
You are right. It could be WORSE.
We have the Internet. We have Free Speech.
Right here.
Yes, the MOST IMPORTANT THING is not to give up hope! The System wants to crush us and kill our hope. The elites want to see us give up and succumb to their System.
WHO CARES if so many people don’t believe that Ron Paul can win! YES, DR. PAUL CAN WIN IF WE GIVE OUR ALL AND NEVER GIVE UP HOPE! The quote from C. V. White says it all for us Ron Paul supporters:
“The man who makes a success of an important venture never wails for the crowd. He strikes out for himself. It takes nerve, it takes a great lot of grit; but the man that succeeds has both. Anyone can fail. The public admires the man who has enough confidence in himself to take a chance. These chances are the main things after all. The man who tries to succeed must expect to be criticized. Nothing important was ever done but the greater number consulted previously doubted the possibility. Success is the accomplishment of that which most people think can’t be done.”
C. V. White
You hear that? “SUCCESS IS THE ACCOMPLISHMENT OF THAT WHICH MOST PEOPLE THINK CAN’T BE DONE!”
As Frank Creel said, “I am convinced that Ron Paul’s campaign this year represents our last chance as a people to pull America out of her deadly tailspin. Let’s be worthy of our ancestors and put this man into the White House”!
~Mr. Denali

Remember, THE TRUTH IS ON OUR SIDE!
So it’s given that we also own the POWER of Inspiration, Hope, and Optimism!
My fellow Patriots, let’s fight with a SMILE on our faces!
~Mr. Denali :)

I can make no sense of the following paragraph taken from the text of the article:
For Paul, R-Tex., Louisiana is really more of a third place finish since finishing ahead of the winner, John McCain, was “uncommitted pro-life.”
Who wrote this garbage? It appears he was trying to double-speak but mangled it to the point of gobble-dee gook.
Ah well, we’re staying in this fight to elect Dr. Paul. He is the only one who will give us our country back.

“If the government doesn’t respond to the demands of the people, the people will replace the government.”
President George W. Bush on the puppet government of Iraq, responding to Senate Armed Service Committee Chairman, Democrat Carl Levin of Michigan.

What is Louisiana’s new Gov. Bobby Jindal doing to assure this election was fair & square?
The guy ran on a non-corruption platform, he better have not being b.sing the people.

The problem was that La officials realized that there was an overwhelming vote for Ron Paul and tried to thwart it.
Now, I wonder what that ruckus in NH is all about — not putting the ballots in the vault and using non-stick tepes to “seal” the ballot boxes.
This might mean that there are really 2 states that Paul did not receive all the votes that his supporters tried their darndest to record.

This is what the American Revolution began over in the first place. This country has become the exact opposite of the principles it was founded on, another Revolution is needed but the government has made it to where it would be suicide to revolt against them through all the weapons bans that they have passed. I personally am disgusted with the direction that this country is heading in.

All you have to do is read William Cooper’s “Behold a Pale Horse” and you’ll completely understand WHY.

Interesting reading. Not fictional in all cases, but certainly not real world. Does anyone seriously believe “President” Paul could acutally achieve any meaningful reforms with both the Democrats AND Republicans uniting under the Good Old Boys rules of legislating currently in place? Reality, folks, is the establishment looking out for itself, first – last, and always. I’m certainly not a historian, but the “let them eat cake” line has never been more apropos as shown by the self serving attitude of our current crop of politicians. There is no way Ted Kennedy, Nancy Polosi, the Clintons, etc, etc, etc would let anything upset the life style to which they have become accustomed. Royalty has its privileges, and as was heard on the floor of the Senate during debate over a proposed pay raise, “we deserve it”.
God bless and watch over America, our elected officals cerainly are not.

I am so sick of the BIAS in the media. I just want to thank God for Ron Paul.

I think it has become apparent this year how big of a influence the media and the people behind the state GOPs pull strings to change the outcome of these caucuses/primaries, thereafter taking away our liberty. People should be outraged..I know i am.

Ron Paul is contesting the results in La. and the Alabama Republican Committee has endorsed him for President. Seems to me that RP’s message is getting so loud and his followers so many that a few are beginning to figure out that he will not just quietly go away.

I’am absolutley sick of what this nation has become. How far from the constitution we have fallen. Further more I absolutley despise polititions. You know polititions- those who slobber for your votes, tell you what you want to hear and ultimatley long on words and short on action.
I cannot express how sick polititons make me. They almost make this country seem like a television drama. Now common this is no drama this is life. Now Ron Paul is a statesman, not a politition. Polititions change their mind, have no straight answer or opinion on the issues that really matter. The truth about that little tidbit is its safe, its safe in the middle. well we need an extreme we need reality not this so called existence in which our Big government has called life. no answers for all issues. and temporary solutions to some of the problems. remember people all of our actions are the cause of our problems. we need to do something because when you name something the patriot act and it happens to restrict and take away individual freedoms then you know something wrong. I hope everyone realizes the patriot act is siply unamerican our government has become unamerican more like facists considering the fact we have a capitalist economy. I would also like to address the media. HEY YOU MEDIA. You might want to start paying more attention to Dr. Paul. That is if you want to keep your freedom of speech and not become a puppet. Hmm The freedom of speech I beleive thats somewhere in the constitution. Oh whats that I beleive that Dr. Pauls campaign includes a return to actually using the constitution. Oh and don’t forget an oppressed people are an unhappy people. And an unhappy people can and will revolt against their oppressors. we are the American people living in a country run by UnAmericans.

I was at the Caucus in Baton Rouge. I registered republican in late November or so, about the time Ron Paul’s e-mail newsletter told us to register in order to have a chance to vote in the caucuses as well as the primaries. Big surprise, I was sent to the “provisional” line- actually when I was there there was no “provisional line”- they just told us to go stand against a wall and eventually they brought out another table to take us. I’ve never done anything political because of apathy and a belief that the little people don’t matter in American politics before Dr. Paul came along. Wow, this certainly changed my mind. 8(

Worst Attendance Records In The Senate…

recognize any of these names …

These people are not even doing the job they were hired to do. If you or I had this attendance record we would be unemployed!!!

I think you have to be a Registered Republican to be a delegate. I think the Republican nominee will be settled at the national convention. The next President will be settled at the polls. I think a lot of Ron Paul supporters are Unaffiliated or Independents so canot go to the National Republican Convention. I’d really like to know what % of America is Unaffiliated or Independent.
P.S> I’m utterly amazed that most everyone with a position I talk to supports Ron Paul; yet, he has yet to win a primary. I think it is mostly due to the process. The process is more important than the goal. Case in point is the voting machines. It is trivial to use double-voting and open source and checksums to ensure the voting comes out right. What a sham.

I wish for once the most intellegent and knowledgeable man were president, but this is not going to happen. The more I see these things, the more I realize how wise our forefathers were. They tried to build in safe guards in the Constitution, but it was thrown away.
If Dr Paul was put up beside the other candidates, I am afraid the rest would come across as under qualified.
Big money is driving its man for president. Not what the people want.

RE: Ron Paul Accusations Louisiana Caucus – Any voter (Paul or otherwise) that was not on the official list of Registered voters by November 30, 2007 was required to vote with a “provisional” ballot. It is true that the deadline for registration was November 30 and there were a number of names of eligible voters that registered during November that were not on the list. The difference between a provisional ballot and a regular ballot is that the voter has to put their name and address on the ballot and cast the ballot in a separate box. This allowed the ballots to be certified by a Registrar as to the voter’s eligibility before co-mingling with the other ballots. Each of the names on the provisional ballots were validated by their respective Registrar of Voters the day after the election and the eligible ballots were then included in the totals.
Second, there were no “pre-registered” delegates for a particular candidate. The application form for running for a delegate seat had no references whatsoever to which candidate the applicant was supporting. In addition the names on the ballot had no reference to which candidate the delegate aspirant was supporting. Presidential campaign workers at the polling places produced a list of the names on the ballot that were favorable to their particular candidate.
As far as changing the rules, the qualifying deadline was extended in order to clear up conflicting deadlines dates that had been previously released.
I thought you might be interested in some facts in the case.
J. C.

So, Tony – Why hasn’t the Louisiana GOP released the results of the provisional ballot count? Heh?
Today is January 31st. What’s the deal, Tony?
Hugs and kisses,
Patty

one conversation at a time, that’s how you spread the message of freedom. everyone i meet has never heard of Ron Paul, and when i point out why, they wake up!! the people will listen, if you believe…PLEASE care enough to share your beliefs, with your family, your friends, your coworkers, your community…those with a brain, a heart, and a conscience will listen. they’ll understand what needs to be done. There ARE 50 states, but not all will be corrupt at the polls. That’s where the marches for freedom begin–9 more months before November–that’s enough time for a baby to hatch fellow Americans!!
