Ron Paul is getting screwed

That should be one of his main selling points! No coporate funding = no special interest groups to cater to if he wins the presidency.Kirby said:

Nobody is whining about rules. I'd be willing to say most of the people that are going to vote for Ron Paul know about the primaries of their state, whether they're closed or not. That's not the problem. The issue here is why change it now? For what reason? Do you have any answer for that?
The good thing about Ron Paul supporters is that they're intelligent, and will catch on to this, so it won't have as big an impact as the powers that have put in this change would have hoped for it to cause.
The people that refuse to change parties or vote cross party or even care about parties are part of the problem right now. My state has open primaries, but I'm going to register Republican for damn sure, because I'm not going to let my vote go uncounted. If they want to play games, fine, but I will vote.
thats one of the best things. people funded. people put their money where the mouths are. if you spend money on him yourself, you sure as hell are going to want to vote him in and see that money do some good!
If you don't see how this is a sneaky, bullshit thing to pull, then you're blind. This is outrageous, and people need to know about it. This could have a real effect on things if people don't know about it. Why would they change the rules with 12 days to go before the deadline? You think they just randomly said "Hey, let's pick something out of a hat and change it today." There's a reason, what do you think it is?
Even if you're in a state with open primaries, SWITCH PARTIES. In a state with closed elections, if you were independent before, and voted democrat in a previous election, you are now registered democrat and won't be able to vote for Ron Paul in the primaries.
DON'T LET THEM TAKE YOUR VOTE AWAY
If you are going to vote for Ron Paul, just register Republican. Who the hell cares what you're registered as, you can still vote for whoever you want in the presidential election. Change it back to democrat the day after the primaries if it means that much to you. Ron Paul needs to win the primaries. Once he does, the media will be forced to give him the attention he deserves.

Good post. And right on the money. They're scared and hoping that the more liberal & libertarian minded folks won't register Republican.
But it's not just the Republican party that's scared. It's the whole damned establishment that's scared. And with good reason. As it stands today more people are planning on voting for Ron Paul than are planning on voting for ALL the other candidates combined.
I just hope he's smart enough to lock all the CFR members and all the central bankers in Guantanamo so he can survive his term in office.

actually having open primaries in the US is the exception . . . not the rule . . .
this is a part of the problem inherent in two party politics . . . and the only way around it is to run as an independent . . . like Perot and Nader did . . .
as long as a candidate chooses to run in the good old boys party (now ya know what GOP stands for) . . . he's going to be bucking an establishment that finds his stance on many issues unacceptable . . .
Diebold and other voting machine makers are deeply entrenched within the Republican Party . . . the last two presidential elections in the USA weren't decided by the voters . . . they were decided by the vote counters . . .
to take back the Americas . . . it's going to take more than just registering and voting . . . it's going to take an army of poll watchers to make sure the people aren't robbed again . . .
remember what Joseph Stalin said - It's not who votes that counts, it's who counts the votes . . .

I urge everyone to join their local Meetup groups. here is a link to all the groups: http://www.meetup.com/search/?keywo...deUsLink=&country=us&zip=&go.x=0&go.y=0&go=GO if youre city isnt represented, start one yourself! I have been active in my group plastering my city with his name and website. I ask all of you supporters to print out some flyers and post them anywhere you can! The media is forcing us to take this matter into our own hands so dont let them decide who wins, decide for yourself!

Is this the first election for most of you? 
I lived in California, and other states, and you only get to vote according to how you registered. You register as a Dem and you get a Dem ticket. You don't get to vote Republican.
It's been this way since I started voting....obviously longer ago than most of you are old

You couldn't be more wrong, but thanks for being so condescending.WHAB said:Is this the first election for most of you?

Maybe the primaries were closed in the states you lived in, but in quite a few, they are open to anyone. Well, were open to anyone. That is now ending, and people need to be made aware.
People don't seem to be understanding.
Some states have closed primaries, you have to be registered to vote in your parties primary.
Some states have open primaries, you can vote in either primary, no matter what you're registered.
The problem right now - states with open primaries are switching to closed primaries, and leaving less than two weeks for everyone to register republican in order to vote for Ron Paul. It can have a serious effect, because people don't get it.
The condescending attitude really is unnecessary, maybe if you bothered to do a little research you'd see the way you've done it isn't the only way it's done.

bodily harm? we don't live in those kinds of times.......9Lives said:Im going out on a limb here..but i would not be the least bit surprised if something terrible happened to Ron Paul. Im talking bodily harm here. Well see..
Dark times we live in...
THE WORLD NEEDS RON PAUL 08.
I wish I could believe the same RalphDog, but I just don't see it the same way. We've got troops killing each other in the middle east, and the government is all for covering it up.
