Become a Delegate or Ron Paul will Not be President (OR WILL! - Fox in Henhouse warning)

"Before Ron Paul can get elected, he has to be nominated by delegates at the Republican National Convention which will take place in St. Paul, Minnesota. September 1-4, 2008.

We have to get elected as delegates to the convention. Electoral college delegates have to be constitutionalists because they elect the president by casting their vote.

Those who support Ron Paul must begin the process now of getting elected as a delegate to the convention or it's all over and the GOP faithful will get the shadow government's choice shoved down their throats - again. The power players behind the scenes will orchestrate the show and the people will be the losers - again. The same applies with getting nominated as an electoral college delegate because America got a good lesson in civics during the 2000 pretend election regarding the popular vote vs the electoral college system.

A word to the wise: if you present yourself as a supporter of Ron Paul, you will never get elected as a delegate. Wave the flag, shout power to the GOP, rah, rah, rah, get elected and then begin your campaign to get Ron Paul nominated. Now, some might say this type of stealth isn't right. Here's what's not right: back room deals and big money giving the American people no choice in these elections and anyone who thinks this isn't how the process has been working for the past century is in a state of denial.

Get together with your friends or people you know and plan your strategy now and work to get elected as a delegate. Time is quickly slipping by, every minute counts."

I know, he hardly registers in the polls - but you all know what they have done spamming polls. Can they spam the delegate process? See link for the delegate selection process.

This from the website of a self-proclaimed "Constitutionalist."

One more reason Paul is a joke.

[Perdogg]

Ron Paul supporters are emailing Neal Boortz calling him a “dirty jew”. Such wonderful people. /sarc

[elizabetty]

There is going to be an epidemic of Paul Derangement Syndrome when somebody lifts the cover off the petri dish in which the Paulisitians live and they realize Ron Paul did not win anything - anywhere.

[JerseyHighlander]

Before everyone jumps on Ron Paul’s campaign for doing this, I’d like to inform Freepers that the Guiliani campaign has ALREADY successfully executed this tactic in several county GOP parties in New Jersey.

No, it fraudulent, disingenuous. Suppressing the will of the people may get you hurt, and badly.

Don't be fooled.. Paul is no Conservative. Votes speak louder than rhetoric.

Ron Paul's 2006 American Conservative Union rating: 76% Lifetime Rating: 82.3%

Ron Paul's Voting Record (ya, ya, I know, there is an excuse for all of these, state's rights are more important than stopping abortion and fixing the border, Ronnie is making a statement, or everyone else was voting against it and he was just playing the game, yadda, yadda, yadda)

Here are some more ‘Conservative(sic)’ votes by Paul:

Voted NO on federal crime to harm fetus while committing other crimes.

Voted NO on forbidding human cloning for reproduction & medical research.

Voted NO on barring transporting minors to get an abortion.

Voted YES on funding for alternative sentencing instead of more prisons.

Voted NO on more prosecution and sentencing for juvenile crime.

Voted NO on military border patrols to battle drugs & terrorism.

Voted NO on allowing school prayer during the War on Terror.

Voted NO on allowing vouchers in DC schools.

Voted NO on passage of the Bush Administration national energy policy.

Voted NO on implementing Bush-Cheney national energy policy.

Voted YES on barring website promoting Yucca Mountain nuclear waste dump.

Voted NO on speeding up approval of forest thinning projects.

Voted NO on reforming the UN by restricting US funding.

Voted NO on requiring lobbyist disclosure of bundled donations.

Voted NO on prohibiting lawsuits about obesity against food providers.

Voted NO on prohibiting product misuse lawsuits on gun manufacturers

Voted NO on prohibiting suing gunmakers & sellers for gun misuse.

Voted NO on decreasing gun waiting period from 3 days to 1.

Voted NO on emergency $78B for war in Iraq & Afghanistan.

Voted NO on $266 billion Defense Appropriations bill.

Voted YES on more immigrant visas for skilled workers.

Voted YES on providing $70 million for Section 8 Housing vouchers.

Voted NO on promoting work and marriage among TANF recipients.

Voted NO on treating religious organizations equally for tax breaks.

Let's also not forget Paul's Pork Projects (that he voted for before he voted against when he calls them unconstitutional but he is just playing the game when he submits them because everyone else does it.. yadda yadda yadda..)

Paul also supported the NAU superhighway by funding the TransTexas Corridor

Why do these Kool Aid drinkers hange around Free Republic? Don’t they have an asylum to go to?

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

Typical Ron Paul "conservative":

[AuntB]

Just a note to Paul supporters about the California fires. If we were allowed to manage these lands, thin the underbrush, we wouldn’t have these huge fires.

Voted NO on speeding up approval of forest thinning projects.

Sadly typical for their "type," I'm afraid:

Must Dr. Paul capitulate to our Jewish masters' demands?

Ron Paul Supporter: "I SMELL HEBREW. THAT'S WHAT I SMELL."

His tactic, if one is in a caucus state, is correct and effective. However, there are those of us who will also be working to become a national delegate in support of other candidates. In MN, delegates are selected at the state convention. There is little chance that someone unknown to the party, attempting to conceal their true intentions, will be selected. Paul supporters might be selected as delegates to the BPOU conventions (easy), or even to the State convention (considerably harder). I don’t see them being able to fool the attendees at the State convention to become delegates to the National convention where they could then act on their true intentions.

“He’s a nut Jim”.

Just a little play on words there. ;9)

“There is going to be an epidemic of Paul Derangement Syndrome when somebody lifts the cover off the petri dish in which the Paulisitians live and they realize Ron Paul did not win anything - anywhere.”

Isn’t that the truth!!!!

I don’t understand why Ron Paul doesn’t just run under the LIBERALtarian banner. He’s certainly no CONSERVATIVE!!!

[Fred]

I will support RP for prez as soon as he resigns from congress....

Won't work, but instructive as to the kind of support he attracts, and the strategies they'll use.

[keepitreal]

It’s one thing to send your folks out through the process saying that they are Guiliani supporters and then getting elected delegates. It’s quite another to lie about who you are for to get elected a delegate and then voting for Paul. That’s just fraud.

Fraud? Details, details. The end justifies the means for some, liberals for example. Some Ron Paul supporters are so far around the bend to the right that they have met the left coming the other way. It’s part of Paul’s unifying appeal you hear about, heh.
