By the time this primary is over, Ron Paul Republicans will be running many of the state and local party systems. Even if Ron doesn’t win, his supporters will be a presence and impose their ideas for a long time to come.

Very in-depth reporting here ABC. Why is this news? Anybody who’s been following what’s been going on in Iowa since the candidates came and went knows why this is news. So why hasn’t the national media been able to spare even a minute of it’s time to their story of voter fraud?

Hey ABC, you going to do a report when Maine’s GOP chair resigns this week. Maybe they are resigning because they are getting paid off and want to avoid lawsuits for voter fraud? And you call yourself a major news agency. Down the memory hole!!!!!!!

So what did the back room deal look like; Strawn resigns and there’s no investigation, prosecution and embarrassment? Iowa can no longer be trusted with the first in nation privilege.

Ron Paul has been shafted by a corrupt GOP. He needs to go independent and team up with someone on the left such as Nader. It might be an eye opener to both corporate and lobbyist run parties.
