    Ron Paul wins Virgin Islands with 29%...

    It was an intriguing day in MO for sure. I saw an AP headline around midnight where the MO state GOP issued an apology for the behavior of the St. Charles GOP officials in shutting down the meeting. The promised that they indeed would reconvene and elect delegates. RLENT, I read that article...

    Ron Paul wins Virgin Islands with 29%...

    I doubt I was ever entirely a "party guy" for the GOP. To be a "party guy," I would need to champion the whole "anyone but a Democrat" idea. Of Dems have their version of that as well. But at this stage, I fail to see how either party represents the people of America. No, they represent the...

    Ron Paul wins Virgin Islands with 29%...

    It is hard to know what would've happened otherwise. There have been obvious anomalies in almost every state. Most were against Paul, but also Santorum and Gingrich at times. The interesting thing though, is that the beneficiary of any such abnormality in statistics is always Romney. It is...

    Ron Paul wins Virgin Islands with 29%...

    Dave, I'll just give an abbreviated version of what I wanted to say, but if you look at Alabama's election results, you will see that Paul got a bit over 30k in the popular vote. However, after voting for a candidate, the ballot asks for you to vote between pairings of individuals running to be...

    Ron Paul wins Virgin Islands with 29%...

    I'm also open to find out what the issue is with the John Birch Society. Wm. Buckley and others had issues with some comments made by Robert Welch, back in the early sixties. Welch accused Eisenhower of subscribing to many Communist ideals, which if you look at the growth of statism since the...

    Ron Paul wins Virgin Islands with 29%...

    Actually, Romney about 354 delegates as of this date. The rest that are proportionately being attributed to him and others are unbound or "soft" delegates. They are not bound to vote for any particular person. They bear the right to vote their own conscience. The final delegates to the...

    Ron Paul wins Virgin Islands with 29%...

    Well, Paul certainly won't have enough delegates from the states with hard or "bound" delegates, as long as Romney has money to spend buying off the GOP officials. It will be an uphill climb for Paul, but Romney is not going to have enough to clinch it either. He currently only has 354 bound...

    Ron Paul wins Virgin Islands with 29%...

    Well that's what struck me about the whole Virgin Islands affair. The news media likes to take states with unbound delegates and administer them proportionately by popular vote, even though the "beauty" contest has nothing to do with it The delegate process is one of electing people to vote at...

    Ron Paul wins Virgin Islands with 29%...

    There is plenty of shenanigans to go around in the primary states. Getting rid of a caucus might only perpetuate it. At least with a caucus they can count your precinct's votes right in front of you. That can be compared to the posted tally later, which is where many of the problems have...

    But most of the big media outlets are calling it another Romney win. Ron Paul gets first win in Virgin Islands but all news agencies report Romney - Washington DC Conservative | Examiner.com It looks as if they are changing the story for the spin. Ordinarily, they report the "straw poll"...

    Second Annual PPP TV News Trust Poll

    Just so you are aware, the WSJ is owned by the same parent company (Newscorp) as FOX News. It's interesting to note that about 99% of what we view in news, TV shows, Hollywood movies and amusement parks are owned by only six corporations. They are the determining factor as to what most of...

    Ron Paul. The Nursing Home Walkaway.

    I saw that interview on CNN. Did anyone notice how Gloria Borger was basically apologizing for asking that same question over and over again as if it were her responsibility to ask over and over? IMO, it was a dumb interview and she knew she had crossed the line and was attempting to save...

    The Iranian Threat Evolves

    High tech, then low tech. First they have nuclear capability, but then they can't bring down a drone. Which is it? They seem to change their story from day to day.

    Hoping the apple fell far from the tree

    Here's how to know who is actually an "electable" candidate. First, you win one of the primaries or caucuses. Then you win another. Then you win another. The primary season operates differently than a general election for a reason. A candidate doesn't need to have great support everywhere at...

    History too kind to Puritans brutal intolerance

    I usually don't post in this section, but my iPad has this feature that sorts by newest posts. First off, the Pilgrims and Puritans were entirely different groups that came to this land at two different times. The Pilgrims, who came first, we're separatists from the Church of England. The...

    China's "Obama Fried Chicken"

    Thank you, Hawk, for ratting me out. The left wings remark actually preceded this article, as there was a joke article circulating last year that had a new Obama bucket being served up at KFC. I merely made reference as to how surprised at how life was imitating........well, "art."

    LayoutShooter is a Chicken when it comes to Debate

    Actually, I think this thread has indeed served a wonderful purpose. Quite humorous actually. Rhodes made an accusation against Layout. Layout gave him a good natured opportunity to fulfill the bet. Rhodes declined, and offered no alternative venue. Game over! Well played, Layoutshooter.

    50 percent hike in gas tax

    Well, the "Office of the President-Elect" (when has their ever been such a thing?) held his emergency meeting with his economic advisors the other day to discuss the implementation of this gas tax, so I guess he is complete at the heart of this already. I didn't vote for him either, so I guess...
