Wash Times: Ron Paul delegate strategy is perfectly legitimate - Awesome article
Ron Paul delegate strategy is perfectly legitimate

Thursday, May 3, 2012 - Reawakening Liberty by Thomas Mullen


For at least a month, the media have been ignoring compelling evidence that Ron Paul is doing much better in the Republican nomination race than he did in the primary/caucus popular votes. In their hurry to write the general election narrative, the media have forgotten to perform their primary function: to report the facts. The facts are that Ron Paul has won at least two states and will likely win more.

Now that Paul’s success is impossible to ignore, the media are writing a new narrative. Headlines like “Ron Paul’s stealth state convention takeover” and “Ron Paul People Playing Mischief with Delegates” indicate that instead of ignoring Paul’s victories, they now seek to imply that there is something sneaky or unfair about them. Some even suggest that his delegate success in states where he did not win the popular vote may even (gasp!) “undermine democracy.”
..................

Neither is Paul’s strategy underhanded or “sneaky.” He has made it clear since the beginning of his campaign that he was going to concentrate on the caucus states where he believed that his strong grassroots organization and more devoted following would win him delegates. He predicted his delegate victories in states where he did not win the popular vote months in advance and now those predictions are coming true. How can anyone say that they didn’t know what was going on?

Early in this election cycle, the media repeated ad nauseum that Ron Paul could not win the nomination. That affected his performance in popular votes. They never suggested this about any of the other nine candidates, eight of which are now out. Then, they repeated ad nauseum that Ron Paul had not won any states, even though he had. Now, they attempt to cast aspersions on those wins with spurious arguments about their legitimacy.

Methinks the media doth protest too much. What about Ron Paul are they so afraid of?

Often, voter ignorance of the candidates and issues is even worse.

Ron Paul’s strategy takes advantage of the republican nature of the nomination process. That process does not rely purely on a popular vote to determine who will be the nominee. Instead, voters must go through a multi-tiered vetting process of successive elections in order to become a delegate to the RNC.

This does not remove all of the dangers inherent in a pure democracy, but it helps. At least a delegate has been forced to hear the arguments of other candidates before blindly casting a vote. He also must have the commitment necessary to endure the long delegate selection process.

Undermining democracy would be a good thing. If there is anything we have too much of in 21st century America; it’s democracy. The United States flourished as a free and prosperous society largely because it was founded as a republic. The reason for the bicameral legislature, the separation of powers, and the other so-called “checks and balances” was to protect us from democracy, which James Madison called “the most vile form of government.” [link to communities.washingtontimes.com]

Let's take that a step further...

By your logic, all the Ron Paul Detractorbots who now ignore what the MSM is saying when they were linking left and right to those delegate ESTIMATES are moronic as well.

I'm sure you never used any of the numbers that the MSM was trotting out - LYING ABOUT - before, right? And if you were, I'm sure you wouldn't start discounting what they have to say now that it looks bad for your boy Obamney. Right??

Oh and please forgive me if you're not an Obamney supporter... you sure sound like one.

That the process is republican rather than democratic does not disenfranchise anyone. Everyone has an equal opportunity to become a delegate. Everyone has an equal opportunity to read the rules. That supporters of some candidates choose not to go through the process does not “nullify their wishes.” That they choose not to become informed on how candidates are actually nominated does not represent a deception. On the contrary, the whole process is intentionally designed to ensure that uninformed or uncommitted people do not directly choose the nominee.

Do you want it clearer?

How can anyone say that they didn’t know what was going on?

Early in this election cycle, the media repeated ad nauseum that Ron Paul could not win the nomination. That affected his performance in popular votes. They never suggested this about any of the other nine candidates, eight of which are now out. Then, they repeated ad nauseum that Ron Paul had not won any states, even though he had. Now, they attempt to cast aspersions on those wins with spurious arguments about their legitimacy.

Methinks the media doth protest too much. What about Ron Paul are they so afraid of?

and...?????? He is a liberty supporter.

Washington Times allows him to write articles like this and have it published. Most MSM publications would stifle such articles.

First the Washington Times is hardly mainstream. At all. Maybe you're confusing it with the Post...?

Second, it's on their blog. Big whoop.

Third, this guy pretty much only writes Paul blather, everywhere. Including multiple pro-Paul pieces on the WT blog.


This isn't journalism and is about as important as the iReporter shit on CNN.

The only reason these Detractorbots come in to these threads is to spread disinformation and try to derail threads. They are scared and growing more scared with each day.

They know that Dr. Paul is not losing momentum at all and it scares the crap out of them.

Although some of them are just willfully ignorant Obamney supporters. So there's that.

Ron Paul delegate strategy is perfectly legitimate

Thursday, May 3, 2012 - Reawakening Liberty by Thomas Mullen


For at least a month, the media have been ignoring compelling evidence that Ron Paul is doing much better in the Republican nomination race than he did in the primary/caucus popular votes. In their hurry to write the general election narrative, the media have forgotten to perform their primary function: to report the facts. The facts are that Ron Paul has won at least two states and will likely win more.

Now that Paul’s success is impossible to ignore, the media are writing a new narrative. Headlines like “Ron Paul’s stealth state convention takeover” and “Ron Paul People Playing Mischief with Delegates” indicate that instead of ignoring Paul’s victories, they now seek to imply that there is something sneaky or unfair about them. Some even suggest that his delegate success in states where he did not win the popular vote may even (gasp!) “undermine democracy.”
..................

Neither is Paul’s strategy underhanded or “sneaky.” He has made it clear since the beginning of his campaign that he was going to concentrate on the caucus states where he believed that his strong grassroots organization and more devoted following would win him delegates. He predicted his delegate victories in states where he did not win the popular vote months in advance and now those predictions are coming true. How can anyone say that they didn’t know what was going on?

Early in this election cycle, the media repeated ad nauseum that Ron Paul could not win the nomination. That affected his performance in popular votes. They never suggested this about any of the other nine candidates, eight of which are now out. Then, they repeated ad nauseum that Ron Paul had not won any states, even though he had. Now, they attempt to cast aspersions on those wins with spurious arguments about their legitimacy.

I have to disagree wholeheartedly with the bolded text. There is no way reporting facts is a primary function of the media. Their primary function is to sell things and there secondary function is propaganda. They only occasionally report facts when they find it helps with one of the above or becomes necessary to gain viewers/listeners/readers.
