Last night's debate was ridiculous. CNN is the new FOX.

[f3lix]

Just another example of how the media doesn't know what is going on in the presidential election...

Before you read what ACTUALLY happened, here's what the media reports...

Romney takes all 18 delegates from Maine, taking 52% of the vote with McCain 21%, Paul 19%, and Huckabee 6%.

Now, here is reality.

Ron Paul Beats McCain in Maine Caucus, Primed to Win Over 1/3 of State Delegates
In the race for delegates, Ron Paul appears to closely trail Romney for first place

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
February 4, 2008

ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA – While most reports about this past weekend’s Maine Caucus focused on the purely symbolic presidential preference poll, in the meaningful race to secure delegates to the state convention Ron Paul is primed to finish second with likely 35 percent of the total delegates.

Delegates to the Republican National Convention in Minneapolis are elected by the state delegates. Internal results from 10 of 16 counties, including the largest cities of Portland, South Portland, Lewiston, Auburn, Augusta, Waterville, Bangor, and Brewer, show Ron Paul picking up 215 of 608 State Convention delegates so far reported, or 35%.

“Ron Paul’s strong second place finish in Maine, in which he beat John McCain, is proof that this race is far from over,” said Ron Paul campaign manager Lew Moore. “We’ll continue to battle for every delegate in this wide-open race for the Republican nomination.”

In the presidential preference poll, with 70 percent reporting, Ron Paul is in third place just two percentage points behind John McCain. However, the Maine preference poll is purely a beauty contest, and in the actual election of state delegates the so-called “frontrunner” McCain is far behind Ron Paul.

Take note on how to fuck someone in the ass...

At the West Virginia Republican state convention today, Ron Paul received 10% and came in fourth. He was dropped from the second ballot.

At that point, the Paul people made a deal with the Huckabee people to get 3 of the 18 national delegates if they threw their second-ballot votes to Huckabee. The strategy worked and Huckabee won 52%. Ron Paul will receive 3, and Huckabee will receive 15 of West Virginia's 18 delegates.

The Romney campaign is crying foul.

It's time for Ron Paul to either drop out or run as an independent.

Politics are dirty. I'd shit a duck if the media caused it. The amazing thing, is the media doesn't even report the 15 and 3 split. It's because THEY DON'T FUCKING KNOW ANYTHING. They just report what they think is right and don't care to check anything.

I disagree that he should drop and run as an Ind. We keep giving him money so that our message is heard at nationally televised debates. He's got cash, I want to see it used. No need to listen to some ignorant fool like Shaw. Keep level-headed. We're still pulling in delegates from every state.

Always about the media. How about the media reports what people want to hear??? They don' want to hear bout a Ross Perot want - to - be. They want to hear about real canidates!

That's precisely the issue, people are stupid.


Not to mention, I'm sure that 100 people (give or take) are fully competent to determine what a country of nearly 400 million "wants to hear".

[Cocktooth]

That 400 Million are the ones actually watching the TV and voting. As you have seen, the majority could careless about ron paul.

[f3lix]

Romney drops leaving about 300 delegates looking for a home. Paul finished 2nd in many states where Romney crushed everybody. Will the Mormons throw their weight to a specific candidate or just stay home? With they continue to hate on McCain and Huck and support Paul? This is huge for the Paul delegate hopefuls.

McCain looks solid right now but better hope he doesn't get caught doing anything bad. He's in debt and Huck has no funding. I gotta smile when I say that Paul still can give him a fight and will continue on.

Most of those 400 million people are idiots, for example...
Besides that, how stupid do you have to be to base your political stand off pundits on TV? Has anyone noticed how many times they've already misjudged this whole race? Maybe if people weren't so lazy they wouldn't be so stupid. I'm sure half the people who have chosen a runner barely know what they stand for. They just heard a few things they liked and decided, well may as well.

This was barely over two years ago:

People rarely know what they want. I think they figures in 2008 now state that something like 92% of Americans would vote for a qualified woman of their party.

Everyone knows that Hilary is a man.

[ninjaface]

Shocking news! If Hillary gets elected president, it would demolish the precedent of a 2 term limit. Why? Because if she we're elected president, BUSH would be in office for 3 consecutive 4 year terms. GET IT?! BUSH!?

(Bush, as in the pelvic hair located directly above the vagina.)
Thats a LOZLZLZ!!! if i've ever heard one.

I can't get over this gold standard bullshit, as right as he is on other things, the astounding failure on this just leads me to believe he is just an outright stupid person. Not just bad politics, but stupid.

[f3lix]

He's back by scores of financial, economic, and historical geniuses on the gold standard.

And I would hold the same view on them, anybody worth a shit in economics knows its a bad idea.

[Repugnant Abomination]

Can you explain why, beebs? I'm not really sure myself, since I'm not an economist.

[Beebs]

Basically people panic when they find out their money isn't worth a piece of medal or that the banks don't physically have their money on hand and actually don't have as much money as they would need to pay everybody at once. In reality though this allows for the growth of the economy, isn't a problem at all, and prevents runs on currency or gold (the great depression).

Also the current system better reflects the actual value of money (same as the actual value of anything, whatever it can be sold for) rather than artificially tieing it to gold.

It's a little counter intuitive when you learn about it but it makes sense when you learn more.

Unless you do infact know about it, wanted me to sound like I'm patronizing you, and make me look like a dbag, which I might have fallen for hook line and sinker.

[THEINCREDIBLEdork]

I'm unsubcribing to the ron paul newsletter. I think I'm going to vomit if I hear anymore propaganda about ground wars, revolutions, or mainstream media. Go John Mccain and Hilary!

[Cocktooth]

I agree ID. After the last txt message I received from CNN.com, It appears Huckabee is making a charge. Don't think his funds won't grow now. Is Paul going to have another support Ron Paul Day? There is only so much money you can suck out of people before they realize they are investing in a dead "product."
