    Don't you worry, they will be effectively implemented by the little whores. The richest men in the land find the ideas perfectly rational.

    You are on a Political Forum debating politics. The vast majority of politicians are professional liars. Perhaps you need to find a better forum for your needs...

    What has Ron Paul been since 1976? A professional politician.

    Here is his list of accomplishments___________________.

    He has served 12 terms while preaching for term limits.

    He was a Republican, QUIT to become a Libertarian, QUIT to become a Republican again. Does the phrase, "Any way the wind blows," sound familiar?

    He has sponsored over 700 bills, passing none of any note. Actually he has sponsored about 60 bills over and over for his 12 terms. Never, EVER gaining the needed support to get them passed, and there is no evidence that he ever made an effort to get them passed.

    Paul is a charter member of that vast majority of professional liars of which you speak.

    This is NOT an indictment of the ideas that Paul mouths, this is an indictment of the liar doing the mouthing, and nothing else..

    Liberty is comedy to most Republicans. Too bad Ron hasn't accepted that yet.

    No I'd have to vote for the flip-flopping, lying, do nothing, Ron Paul for that to be true.

    Simple FACT for ALL PAULOBOTS. It is over, with Santorum's endorsement, Romney has more than enough delegates to take the nomination on the first ballot. He has the number NOW. By convention time Romney will have more than 10 times Paul's delegate total.

    You may sing Paul's praises until your throat wears out and the FACTS won't change. Paul will NOT be the Republican nominee for president. The "race" is over, Paul lost,,,,,,again.

    So YOU will evidently vote for obama. You are completely enamored with empty talkers that do nothing and b.o. will be the only empty talking do nothing on the ballot so obviously he will get your vote.

    NO sane person that believes in what Paul SAYS could possibly vote for obama, but that IS what you Paulobots will do.

    Preferring the status quo and ever increasing government intrusion isn't the definition of rational. You should just be honest - you like how things are. Some people prefer more liberty and less government. Reasonable people can disagree on that. State worshipers refer to arguments against the state as blasphemy, and therefore irrational.

    Simple FACT for all trolls.

    From the RNC's Legal Council:

    "The RNC does not recognize a state's binding of national delegates, but considers each delegate a free agent who can vote for whoever (sic) they choose."

    http://www.fox19.com/story/18305604/reality-check-why-all-rnc-delegates-are-free-agents-and-unbound

    Now, to break this down for those of you with reading comprehension issues:

    Ron Paul has been securing delegates at caucuses and conventions, so much so that even the MSM is acknowledging it. In addition to those actual Ron Paul delegates, there are many Ron Paul people pledged as delegates to other candidates. They were to vote for those candidates on the first ballot in Tampa, but were free to vote as they pleased in following ballots. The RNC's above statement frees all these delegates to vote as they wish on the first ballot. This re-writes the delegate totals. Neither Romney nor Paul have this thing locked up, but we surely have a horse race now.

    You guys really should try keeping up instead of re-hashing the same old tired talking points day in and day out.

    If they wanted someone like Obama, they'd vote for Romney.

    I'd vote for Dan40 before I'd vote for Romney or Obama, and there will be 7 inches of snow in hell before that happens.

    now go ahead, list the accomplishments of the big government, corporatist, status quo.
    Unfortunately, they are many, .......and you support them.
    Crowd followers are such fun. They, like children, love to be on "winning" teams.

    Another reason why the "official" "estimates" of the delegate count right now are completely bogus.

    Irony is this was passed to help Romney in the previous election.

    You're wandering aimlessly in a world of make believe. It is over. Romney has won. Paul will NOT have even 300 delegates by August. His campaign and his dreamworld supporters ARE a joke.

    They WILL vote for obama. Too many Paulobots have already stated they will vote for obama if Paul is not the nominee. That is clear proof that they don't have any idea WHAT they're talking about or "movements" that they're for!

    May 8, 3 states held their primaries.

    Only 2 candidates still in the running, Romney and Paul

    N. Carolina, 916,568 votes were cast. Romney got 69.3% of the votes. Paul got 11.7% of the votes. Romney picked up 36 delegates, Paul picked up 6.


    Indiana, 639,627 votes were cast. Romney got 64.7% of the votes. Paul got 15.6% of the votes. Romney picked up 27 delegates, Paul picked up ZERO.

    W VA., 110,134 votes were cast. Romney got 70.3% of the votes. Paul got 11.1% of the votes. Romney picked up 21 delegates, Paul picked up ZERO.

    Romney now has 83% of the delegates needed to win on the first ballot.(This does not include the 278 delegates held by Santorum, or the 148 delegates held by Gingrich. All of which WILL be released to Romney. Those delegates give Romney 120.2% of the delegates needed to win on the first ballot) Paul has 8.7% of the delegates needed to win on any ballot.

    And contrary to the mistaken belief of Paulobots, bound delegates MUST vote for their candidate on the first ballot. If there is no winner on the first ballot [1144, votes], than the delegates are released for subsequent ballots. There will not be a second balloting. Romney will win on the first.

    This is the reality that Paulobots are trying to lie to themselves and deny. But it is reality. Paul HAS lost yet another presidential race in comedic fashion.

    So it looks like they don't have to. Unless the RNC changes their rules.

    However, the chances for Paul going onto the second round of ballots are still very low.

    STATE Committees have their own rules TOO. The delegates are BOUND according to their home state rules, not the national committee. Just as some states have a 'winner take all; delegate award and other states have a proportional delegate award, and still others award delegates by individual districts. That the RNC doesn't go by those rules is just more propaganda by Paulobots in a desperate attempt to fool themselves into thinking Paul is a viable candidate. The delegates MUST vote the first ballot according to their state rule. There won't be a second ballot.

    And ZERO is "very low." Romney will arrive in Tampa with somewhere near 2000 delegates. Paul will have less than 300.

    This is still developing, but Oklahoma's State Convention looks like a wild one. Apparently, the Romney camp attempted to adjourn the Convention but failed to demonstrate a majority necessary to do so. The Paul camp re-convened the Convention in the parking lot and swept all the delegates.

    I've heard very few say that they would vote for Obama. In fact, I can't think of any that would, except out of spite. After all, he's as much a warmonger as any past President.

    I'd think that they'd be more likely to vote for Gary Johnson.
