What are they hiding? Maine GOP adds missing caucus votes, but wouldn’t release them to the public

I’m not into the Ron Paul, but Ron Paul actually winning the Maine caucus instead of Romney and the GOP hiding it, I’m starting to believe.

According to the Daily Caller, the Maine Republican Party has updated and additional votes “accidentally” omitted from last day’s Maine caucus. However Maine’s state party man Charlie Webster said those votes won’t be publicly released. Why? Do they have something to hide?

“We don’t want any more drama,” Webster told TheDC. “I’ve already got death threats and 1,800 emails.” Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney was declared the victor in Maine over the weekend, claiming a slim 194-vote lead over Texas Rep. Ron Paul.

Paul supporters, however, expressed dismay over errors in tabulating vote counts in various localities, including several towns in Waldo County. That county’s Republican committee passed a motion of censure against Webster on Tuesday.

I believe that election results in this country are a hoax. The day will come when people realize how corrupt our society is, what serfs we all are, and how blind we have been to a century’s worth of “benevolent” tyranny.

“We don’t want any more drama,”

Must be falling back on the drama protection clause in the constitution.

Just as the did in Iowa, the GOP declared Romney the “Winner and still Champion” as soon as they could. After all the votes were counted and Santorum was the winner, the GOP had egg on it's collective face. Now to avoid another egging, they just are not going to release the results. Especially if Ron Paul beat their 'chosen one". Ron Paul?????? And they still have the nerve to ask for my money and my vote?

... and this from somebody on OUR side?! This is completely unacceptable. Hopefully conservatives in Maine will make this point loud and clear to these blockheads. Hmmm. Even the Paultards might come in useful, because they want the Geezer to rack up a win.

And this is just the R primaries/caucuses.

Just wait until all the votes in half the states (can’t remember which ones they are) are counted by machines produced by a big Obama donor.

I wonder if George Soros has the results of the 2012 election already in his briefcase, like former Honduras president Manuel Zelaya had the results of an election (that never even took place) in his briefcase... (Of course, Zelaya won according to the results in his briefcase...)

The Democrats and the GOP-e are counting on the fact that the majority of the populace isn’t paying attention right now. And we who do pay attention are in the minority, so they are counting on that to get ‘their man’ into the White House.

BUT these shenanigans and outright theft of elections by both parties WILL bring about the destruction of those parties. It may not be now but it will be relatively soon, the bad point is that their destruction may also include the destruction of our republic.

I love how Paulites assume that omitted votes are always for Ron Paul.

So far we’ve got Romney falsely declared the winner in Iowa, the votes illegally given winner-takes-all rather than proportional in Florida, the R party of Virginia illegally changing to require petitioner’s addresses without telling anybody so that only Romney and Paul are on their primary ballot, and the Maine R party refusing to let anybody know what missing ballots said.

Those “errors” all benefit Mitt Romney and they stink of democrat desperation. Makes me wonder if the democrats are telling the R’s that Romney has to be the challenger. Especially given that Romneycare FIRST required religious organizations to provide abortions, it’s easy to see why they would want Romney as the R candidate. Then again, the R establishment is probably stupid enough on its own to want Romney. But the crooked junk must be new to them, because they’re not very good at concealing it like the dems are.

If those votes were for Mitt Romney do you think the R-e would be hiding them?

The Ron Paul people are just applying logic here.

I got a RNC fundraising call in the last couple of days.

“You’re barking up the wrong tree with me. I support conservative candidates, not just ones called ‘Republican.’ Straighten out your act on that before you call again.”

You do realize there are two other candidates other than Mitt and Paul, don't you?

Since when is the truth "drama"???

The GOP has learned from the DNC that they can lie, cheat and steal, and the sheeple will continue to graze.

Just guessing the hidden votes are for Paul, why hide the results. Very corrupt regardless. It impacts candidate's fund raising.
