Ahhhh, those RACIST Ron Paul supporters. Part 1

I guess racists like to vote for their own. Check out this racist thread title. Just casually using derogatory racist terms like mulatto. Proves he is so racist that it doesn't even occur to him to try to hide it anymore...


Moved: Sincere question.. Why do Mulattos like Obama always talk about being "black"...

I didn't inlcude the story, since it was unnecessary. The title is all that is needed.

Ahhhh, those wacky Ron Paul supporters. Part 86

This person doesn't understand why Ron Paul is not setting up a website to help coordinate their efforts to destroy his political future.

Newsflash for you...Ron Paul does NOT approve trying to disenfranchise millions of McCain voters and stealing the nomination. He does not WANT you doing this. That is why he is not setting up the site to coordinate the efforts.

We NEED a delegates section! ! ! !

I'm not sure why, but no one (national campaign, forums, other websites) seems to be interested in providing a central clearinghouse for delegate support and information. Maybe it is our libertarian streak that resists central planning; But I'm telling you this could cost us.

Here in Iowa we have some of the same problems that they are facing in Nevada. In fact I cannot believe that we all would not have similar challenges in turning local precinct delegates into state delegates and (ultimately) national delegates.

I don't claim to be an "expert" in convention politics, but it is obviously not something in which success "just happens". Like almost everything else in politics, preparation and planning is crucial.

I have heard stories of Ron Paul delegates accidentally splitting their votes or voting against one another because they did not realize they were on the same "team". As we go to higher conventions we will be interacting with new supporters with whom we will need to coordinate. For example, we may need to decide before hand who we are going to vote for to go to national convention, decide on whether or not to try for a slate of RP delegates, decide on who will go "stealth", decide on platform resolutions, etc.

Everyone seems to be assuming that all RP delegates are in meetup groups. This is NOT the case.

In a county near us there were results published for a precinct caucus in which there were only two attendees. Both voted for Ron Paul. They would have automatically been delegates to their county convention. There is no meetup group in this area. We don't know who they are.In areas with a clear majority of Ron Paul delegates, this might not seem to be a problem. Most conventions will not be that way and we will need to be organized or we will NOT be able to translate our numbers into state or national delegates.

Can anyone see a way of encouraging the National campaign into starting an online delegates section? Hopefully, any RP delegate would at least visit the website occasionally, and see an invitation to register as a delegate. They could have us all register like we did for precinct captain. They could designate county, district, and state leaders who could be given lists of delegates in their area. They could contact them to schedule pre-convention training sessions.

Failing that, the headquarters could at least send out an invitation to contact their area coordinator.

Of course it would also be nice if this forum had a delegates section. I know that each state has its own section, but there are some things that delegates could share nationally, and it would sure expedite things if we had a gathering place.

Any thoughts?
