Guess which one is Ron Paul!

My guess is...

romney - dark blue
Gingrich - orange
santorum - dark green
ron paul - light green


even though I don't know what the gallop poll is polling.

3/3/2012 3:22:50 AM

Ron paul!!!!

"Mitt Romney won the Republican caucuses Saturday in Washington state. With 91 percent of precincts reporting, Mitt Romney led with 37 percent of the vote, followed by Ron Paul with 25 percent, Rick Santorum with 24 percent, and Newt Gingrich with 11 percent. Go to the Tumblr page of the Washington state Republican Party for the latest results."

Says Ron Paul came in second, but he really came in first.


Here's another reason why nobody would vote for romney:

Final delegate count (give or take one or two in case of error of counting):

Ron Paul: 75 Delegates, 41 Alternates
Mittens: 15 Delegates, 12? Alternates
Santorum: 12 Delegates, 5 Alternates

Quote :

" March 5, 2012 IDAHO FALLS, ID -- The Civic Auditorium was standing-room-only for Ron Paul's rally Monday night, with nearly 1,900 people showing up to hear the Republican candidate's 50-minute speech. From the minute people started showing up at 4 p.m. to the standing ovations that filled Paul's speech, the crowd was ready for a revolution. And revolution is just what Paul is asking for. But before he took the stage, his supporters took to the sidewalks. The first people in line were 17-year-old high schoolers, who said, even though they can't vote, they want to be a part of change. http://www.localnews8.com/news/30616058/detail.html "

I took CO2 concentration readings at a Paul rally and a Romney rally and Paul clearly has the most activity going on. However, my measurements might have been a bit skewed by the fact that Romney was in an open-air stadium filled with octogenarians with oxygen tanks, and Paul's was in his mother's basement filled with 300 pound neckbeards.

3/6/2012 9:06:36 AM

Speaking on Fox News Monday, Ann Romney showed that her husband's habit of making uncomfortable references to their wealth is rubbing off. Attempting to make the point that there are things more important than money, she instead uttered, "I don't even consider myself wealthy, which is an interesting thing. It can be here today gone tomorrow." During the same interview, speaking about the horseback riding therapy she uses to treat her multiple sclerosis, she said, according to Boston Globe reporter Michael Levenson, "Some people have lovers in every port; I have horses in every port." Surely she doesn't actually have a horse in every port (though she does have a very expensive collection of horses). But with a Cadillac in at least two ports, as her husband so helpfully pointed out last month, the comment, along with "I don't even consider myself wealthy," is bound to get a few raised eyebrows.

Meanwhile, at an event Monday, Romney introduced his wife as "a heavyweight champion" before immediately laughing and correcting himself. "I didn't mean weight," he said. "That didn’t come out right. She’s just a great fighter is what I mean." Kind of an endearing gaffe, since Ann seemed to take it in stride, but still. Monday has been quite a day for Team Romney.

Posted this on facebook:

Quote :

"How did Virginia Pilot (the local newspaper) know the election would be quiet today? The headline says "With only two names on the ballot, Virginia race makes little noise". How did they know that at 5am? Why was Wavy 10 (the local news station) quiet about the "super tuesday", the most important day in the primaries? They only mentioned super tuesday for 45 seconds in a 2 hour segment! Did anyone see any Ron Paul or Romney signs littering the city? I didn't see a single one. Did you?! That is very odd. Nothing out there to remind people to vote today. "Quiet" for a reason. Now that the election is over, there is nonstop coverage. Someone was desperately trying to suppress the election. Why is it that 90% of the people I talk to voted for Ron Paul yet Romney is predicted to win? The 10% of people who said they weren't voting for Ron Paul just didn't care about politics or complained that their vote doesn't count anyway and said they weren't voting. How did the national news have the results of the Virginia primary before the election was even over?"

Ron Paul did better than anybody thought he would in VA, if it makes you feel any better.

3/6/2012 9:16:18 PM

I live in VA, and my wife is a voter here (I'm FL). I'll post a few FB nuggets from myself, my wife, and a few friends about today:

Quote :

"VOTE!!! all VA registered voters are able to go out today and vote--- only 2 choices... little disappointed in that but regardless I am going out to vote."

Me:

Quote :

"Regardless of which state, there are only two choices: Romnantorich (flip flopping, big government supporting) - OR - Ron Paul (liberty and the Constitution)"

Some bonehead:

Quote :

"Ron Paul cannot win a general election."

Misguided friend (who I thought supported Ron Paul)

Quote :

"I am voting for change in November so I have to go with who I think will actually beat our current leader"

Then I posted on my FB page:

Quote :

"Amazed at how timid (maybe weak is a better word) and ignorant the average American voter is today at protecting his/her rights and liberty protected by the Constitution. When we have already given up in our hearts, why are we surprised when the status quo never changes? The reason "Ron Paul will never win in the general election" is because of the people who have accepted the interpretation of the Constitution by either party. I'd rather have those people stay home on election day than continue to support the continuing deterioration of our liberty."

3/6/2012 9:26:17 PM

Get real. You really think the old men running the GOP would let Ron Paul have a shot?

It's our generation's job to be sent off to die and to slave away in shit jobs so that our grandparents' and parents' generation can have a comfortable retirement. They don't give a damn what happens to this country of debt slaves once they're dead or senile.

Nope. They're not. It's up to the people to do something about it.


The problem is, and I talk to a lot of people, is that nobody feels they (themselves) can make a difference.
They really believe if they cover their eyes, the problems will go away.
They really believe if something is wrong, someone else will handle it.

Today was a major blow to any possibility of a critical turning point in the primaries for Ron Paul.

Now we just have to see if he runs for office. If Paul runs for office, he has a very slim (<10%) chance that enough people will rally together enough for Ron Paul to make an impact. Afterall, Ron Paul has been continuously growing week after week.

Of course if Obama or Romney win November, the end of the world begins on 12/21/2012.

Either we'll start a war with Iran or we the people will start the revolution.

Whoa whoa whoa. I just said there was going to be a revolution, not that "we" would participate. You gotta be careful saying things like that, man, or they'll round up you Paulites and put you in concentration camps.

You can bet they're keeping track of who donates money to Mr. Paul. If fact, that may be the only reason they've let him get this far...it makes it so easy to root out the revolutionaries that donate money. Your hatred of American government is a matter of public record now.

To me this thinking absolves you of all personal responsibility. Yes there are big problems this country as a whole needs solving desperately and the wealth inequality is one of the largest (well more the infrastructure that allows it).

That said, if you took any personal responsibility from a young age you could have largely insulated yourself from the problems "debt slaves" face. Sacrifice spending money in your early 20s to start a retirement fund (since I graduated the s&p is up 5.62%; msci world up 7.12% for example). Take a lesser job than your qualified for or live at home to finish your undergraduate or to put yourself through grad school sans loans. Don't take mortgages, car loans, etc that you can't afford. Do research in your own to make the best financial decisions you can. The list can go on forever.

I'm not naive, I realize there are some people who can do everything right and still be screwed because the system does have faults that need fixing. But if you take the responsibility you absolutely can, on average, insulate yourself from what's happening around you. To blame "your parents generation" who by and large are hardworking people who have been forced to work far longer then past generations because of the misdeeds of a privileged few is disingenuous.

3/7/2012 9:38:43 AM

How does it absolve me of responsibility? I have my life and possibly my children's life to consider. I take responsibility for myself (avoid debt like the plague, work, save) and do what I can, but that doesn't change the reality of the situation. We didn't cause the financial crisis, we didn't start the wars, we didn't rig the system to benefit corporate interests.

Many of us are actively trying to change the system, but it's pretty frustrating when the older generations stand in the way. I mean, it's a story as old as time and it's nothing that should be surprising. You don't hear any MSM discussion about why young people overwhelmingly tend to support Ron Paul. You don't ever hear MSM discussing why the military contributes so heavily to Ron Paul. These are facts that have profound implications.

Yo dude, our parents generation could pay for college by the time they were finished with it by taking a part time job while there. They also had more generous social safety nets, newer infrastructure, a strong post-war manufacturing base and near-constant labor shortages, that's not even the end of it. They had it easier than both the generation before them and the one after and when I hear them bellyaching about kids these days not knowing the value of this and that I want to smack their faces right into a grave. Hands down the most privileged generation alive today yet simultaneously the least-aware-of-it.

You don't seem to realize the extent of the social systemic problems we face. You pay lip service to privilege and personal responsibility without ever closely analyzing your own. I don't know your situation, but I'm guessing you're a white, middle-class, heterosexual male. Literally one of the most privileged groups to belong to in the world aside from the upper-class, which you may also belong. Privilege is a very difficult concept to fully wrap your head around if you're on top. It's actually almost impossible. But in reality, opportunities are afforded to you that are simply not available to people of "lesser" classes and races. I'm sure you work very hard and are very responsible. It's hard to live comfortable as a working class citizen if you can't grasp these concepts these days.

Can people of lesser privilege rise to the top? Of course they can, look at Obama. He worked hard his whole life and overcame a lot of disadvantages and he's now the most powerful person on the planet. But this is the exception to the rule. For every person who comes from a less privileged background that ends up becoming successful, there are 100 who slip further into systemic despair. I know it's incredibly difficult to separate personal responsibility from a social point of view, but lack of personal responsibility alone does not explain problems with our society. There are fundamental problems with our way of life at the social (macro) level. I like and highly respect d357r0y3r because we agree about the same problems. We just completely differ on how to fix them. But that alone makes me agree with him than most people I talk to. He at least sees the problems.
