I don't know what it is going to take for me to unplug, but these brutal fascist criminal clowns are as bad as the communist criminal clowns in the other party:

I am so close to giving up.  Only 8% of "voters" in NH cared enough to vote for Ron Paul?
Only 8 fucking %?

But hold on: "Half" of the people don't vote. "Half" of those voted for the other party. Please help me with the math.
What just happened?
The "half" who don't vote are VERY CLEARLY "always" in the majority.  Why isn't that recorded/reported?

Got any good jokes?

Hey John,

I was very dissapointed with the NH primary outcome. It has really deflated my "balloon of hope" that Ron Paul would show his strong presence and ignite the spark that would fire up his message. Is it a direct reflection of the NH people just not being in touch with the issues and/or is it a combination of the corporate media keeping Ron Paul silenced. I am trying to be positive about Ron Paul being successful and getting through to the commonfolk, but hell, I really sense a black cloud over the Ron Paul Revolution. I know many of the regular posters here are not concerned with this topic (or my opinion) but what the hell is going to happen in the future if the BushCo agenda continues?

How worse can it get? What is the solution to ending these wars and restoring this country soverignty?

troubled and concerned for our children,
Kola

JOHN. O that we now had here
   But one ten thousand of those men in other states
   That did not vote to-day!
 
JIM. What's he that wishes so?
   My friend John? No, my fair friend;
   If we are mark'd to fail, we are enow
   To do our revolution loss; and if to live,
   The fewer men, the greater share of honour.
   No, faith, my friend, wish not a man from other parts.
   God's peace! I would not lose so great an honour
   As one man more methinks would share from me
   For the best hope I have. O, do not wish one more!
   Rather proclaim it, John, through my host,
   That he which hath no stomach to this fight,
   Let him depart; his passport shall be made,
   And crowns for convoy put into his purse;
   We would not fail in that man's company
   That fears his fellowship to fail with us.
   This day is call'd but primary day.
   He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
   Will stand a tip-toe when this day is nam'd,
   And rouse him at the name of Ron Paul.
   He that shall live this day, and see old age,
   Will yearly on the vigil feast with his neighbours,
   And say 'To-morrow is primary day.'
   Then will he strip his shirt and show the scar upon his heart,
   And say 'This wound I had on primary day.'
   Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot,
   But he'll remember, with advantages,
   What feats he did that day. Then shall our names,
   Familiar in his mouth as household words-
   Kate the Rick, Kieth and Dave,
   Jane and Seth, Ian and Mark-
   Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb'red.
   This story shall the good man teach his son;
   And primary day shall ne'er go by,
   From this day to the ending of the world,
   But we in it shall be remembered-
   We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
   For he to-day that lost his heart with me
   Shall be my brother.
   And gentlemen in other states now-a-bed
   Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
   And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
   That voted with us upon primary day.

   What say yea, brother John, to the fight and on we continue?
   One small defeat from man or one giant leap for mankind?

[ancapagency]

Amen, Brother.  And I'll add Samuel Adams:

If ye love wealth greater than liberty,
the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest for freedom,
go home from us in peace.
We seek not your counsel, nor your arms.

Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you;
May your chains set lightly upon you,
and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.

One of my favorite quotes.  I think I should get that carved on a plaque and hang it over my front door

Don't take it too hard. There are only 510 of us in-state now, and not all are Ron Paul activists—all this demonstrates is we're not, yet, very effective at bringing the average voter over to our side. There's plenty more we can do, and have done, where we are being successful.

New Hampshire is by no means a "free state" yet—it's just the freest among the fifty.

Careful, Joe: if you ever have children, one of them gets a bump on the head, a neighbor calls paramedics, you assess your child and determine that he/she is okay, and then send the paramedics on their merry way, you may receive a visit from a SWAT team, complete with guns stuck in faces, handcuffs, yelling, kidnapping, and the whole nine yards...

... all because you are rumored to like quotes from the founders, and therefore might be a "strict constitutionalist".

:(

[erisian]

This just goes to prove that presidential candidates must either get in bed with the big corporations, or become roadkill. It's the same in both parties. Look at this week's casualties: Kucinich, Richardson and Ron Paul. Edwards has slipped substantially. Pretty soon, it will be whittled down to the obedient corporate shills on both sides. Then we will have our "free" choice of which shill we like the best.

See how much more sense the system used just about everywhere else makes?
If your Prime Minister turns into a moron, you call a no-confidence vote in the legislature. If the majority think that the Prime Minister is a moron, then an election is called, 60 days from the date of the no-confidence vote. None of this two-year-plus bullshit. These idiots are going to spend several dollars per voter nationwide before this is finished. Then two weeks after the inauguration, some other moron will announce for 2012, and it will start all over again. The whole system is senseless, stupid and utterly insane.


Government of the corporations
By the bribery
And for the bottom line.

Uh, this is NH.  SWAT teams trying that would be subject to Darwin's principles.

Joe, didn't sign the Constitution. (Sorry)

Ron Paul seems to have a problem with mistaking Article One Section Eight for Article One Section Ten. And if your running as a 'strict constitutionalist' that causes a problem.

[MaineShark]

Joe, didn't sign the Constitution. (Sorry)

No, I didn't.  As government documents go, the Articles of Confederation were much better, anyway.

John, how do you know that 40,000 people in NH didn't vote for ron Paul the other day?

I was really mad too when I saw the "numbers" of votes Ron Paul got and Hillary and McCain, man I couldn't believe it!  I'll post some links about what is happening after they found out some districts had 0 for Ron Paul and people that voted for him at those districts called in to news channels and said, "hey wait a minute I voted for him, where's my vote count?"

errors? (whether on purpose or by accident) on the primaries? ? ?

just imagine what will happen on the presidental election in Novemeber.

maybe "they" have already picked "the chosen one".

The votes haven't actually been counted yet.  Most everyone has accepted the numbers shat out by Diebold as being valid.

But beyond that, New Hampshire voters by & large looked at the choice of "Live free or die" and chose poorly.
