Ron Paul Picks Up Missouri Delegates After Caucus Chairman Arrested For Strong Arm Tactics

A lot of people got excited about Obama becoming President, they'd literally pinned their hopes on it... Now how do they feel? How many times do you get excited by this whole process only to get disappointed all over again. Ron Paul won't change a thing - even though he actually has some humanity about him. We've been duped into thinking the President is the CEO when really he's the public relations guy. For change to happen we need to focus on the real centers of power.

Gotta disagree. SHR is super smart. In this case it's his judgement you should be focused on not his intellegence.

THIS

Go Ron Paul!!!

This Canadian loves the U.S.

please don't let the control freaks continue to ruin the best country on the planet.

Judgement, intelligence.......both leave little to be desired.

That's quite a complement.

I have a gift for the "Smelly footed liberty hater!"

Does anyone have a text based article for the arrest story?

I am on so-slow-it-moves-backwards intertoobes and cannot stream video...

question:

First ballot at the Tampa Convention: Do Gingrich and Santorum delegates HAVE TO vote for Gingrich and Santorum? Or can they be arm-twisted or allowed to vote for Romney?

Good question .... it's also interesting that they are both "suspending" their campaigns rather than ending them. Will this interfere with Paul or Romney then picking up their abandoned delegates ??

(Afraid to ask) Anyone ?

In Missouri the 8 delegates that santorum and gingrich got will support Gingrich and santorum unless they (the respective campaigns) release them to someone else.

I don't have an article but here is the gist of it. The thread title is completely misleading.

Eugene Dokes was the chairman of the first caucus. There were a lot of problems and the caucus was cancelled. Two people were arrested, one charged with trespassing but it was eventually dropped. Dokes did try to railroad the caucus and basically admitted to tying to strog arm Paul out of the caucus on a st Louis radio show (Allman in the morning).

During the new caucus, the man that was charged with trespassing was eventually selected as the chairman for that caucus. He did not strong arm the caucus and was not arrested for doing so, but earlier he was arrested for trespassing.

The chairman that did screw stuff up was not arrested for anything up until now.

This is as good as the article. THIS needs to be spammed all over the states. Everyone copy/save this then spam it. Do it every day until even the liberal get it.

There it is A++

Amen bro amen!!

VOTE RON PAULor become a obamabot. your choice not mine.

So, by the GLP and Ron Paul website count, he has somewhere around 5,000 confirmed delegates.

As a MN delegate from CD2 I might be able to answer this. It is my understanding that any "bound" delegates must vote for their respective candidate on the first vote at the National Convention in Tampa. If after the first vote no candidate has the required 1,144 votes to secure the nomination those delegates become unbound and are free to vote for another candidate thereafter.

I'm pretty sure you and all the other Detractorbots understand that at first, he really only needs enough delegates to keep Romney from getting the required amount to be nominated.

After that, it's a brokered convention, and I'm also pretty sure you and all the other Detractorbots know exactly what happens then. If not, you really need to do some research.

Shr i appreciate you trying to get the facts straight but i wonder what principles you stand for? Communism? Elitism? Totalitarianism? Socialism? Obviously you must really get a kick out of foreign occupation an d kicking the can down the road! How much do you admire fractional lending? Enough to see the debt rise to 50 trillion? Just admit its broken and join us! Don't be afraid!

Ron Paul 2012!

I don't follow the belief of any party or politician.
Still not believing anyone thinks the RNC would let Ron Paul be their mouthpiece.

Want a use for Ron Paul? Get him to become the father of a movement (other than his presidential bowel movement) and give someone else the torch.

This is 2012 and Ron Paul is part of the transition into the new age. So yep, RP will be elected. No other way around this.

Thanks so much for responding. Do they have to vote for their bound candidate even if they've dropped out ??? IE Perry or Bachman, or is this only due to the fact that Gingrich and Santorum have merely suspended their campaigns rather than dropping out completely ???

Whether you know or not thanks in advance

shr is a stupid asshole.

he had the gulf oil spill all wrong too

First the 152 delegates here are to the state convention. They aren't the 152 delegates Romney or Paul need for the nomination. They are 152 out of over 2000 left to select less than half for national delegates of Missouri.

Second at a brokered convention do you really think the republican establishment that has mostly shunned Paul during this process will somehow magically decide to elect him as the candidate? Really? Do you think any of the candidates could start and staff a nationwide campaign against Obama in 2-3 months? Will all the delegates who support Romney, santorum, and Gingrich suddenly have a turn of heart and vote for Paul?

Ron Paul has much support. Do not forget that after the initial vote the delegates can change their vote.

Reps gotta understand that unless they vote for RP, Obama will surely win. They have no choice really.

If RP wins and he turns to be an elite agent, then you know your only choice remaining is civil war, at least it will be very clear at that stage. But what if RP really is what he says he is?
