Positive for Ron Paul in Louisiana Caucus Results

Geaux RON PAUL!

this is very amusing!!!

Ron Paul must be winning!!!

i agree …

Good to know that the voters in Louisiana have sense enough to vote in an honest candidate. I assume they are fed up with corruption in that part of the country and want a real change. Dr. Paul to the rescue.

I’m praying for Ron Paul to win Louisiana! If he does win it, the Old Media will probably pretend that Louisiana doesn’t even exist, but we’ll see. Regardless, as many as 44 delegates could be Dr. Paul’s . . . that would be WONDERFUL INDEED!

Fox actually posted a non-hatchet job news story on Ron Paul earlier today. Paulites were openly astounded but still mistrustful in the comments section wondering what Fox was really up to.

Louisiana is a place where mainstream politicians don’t want to show their heads. Any appearances have been brief.

There is a growing underlying resentment in the state that was abandoned after what was one of the worst natural disasters in the country. While billions of U.S. dollars are sent to countries that don’t need them to spend with the industrial military complex, New Orleans and surrounding communities have been left in a shambles. They must feel a bit like a piece of the Congo within our borders.

Imagine if a major flood wiped out most of London and the government did nothing while billions were being spent in Iraq supporting a war being waged on the whim of a U.S. President and the owners of the Crown were getting richer from it.

At this point, it appears that Ron’s message of a government, while being open and friendly and encouraging international trade, more concerned with what goes on within its own borders plays well in Louisiana. Hopefully, the rest of the country won’t have to suffer as much in order to come to its senses.

By the way, many of us are hoping that you would loan us Maggie for a while to give Hillary lessons on how to be aggressive without degrading our political process by squabbling like a poorly raised child.

Well thank god there’s at least one state that has some common sense. Good job Louisiana! What I can’t believe is that there is another candidate that the MSM calls top tier, who actually said he wanted to change the constitution to reflect gods will. WHAT????? How is Huckabee still a contender after a comment like that. What if Barack said he wanted to change it to reflect Allah’s will??

I was curious, what is going on with this. Every official 2008 presidential primary/caucus list I could find has this listed for Louisiana:
February 9 Louisiana D&R. So why is the official date listed Feb. 9th and people are already talking Caucus results for a state that isnt supposed to have the caucuses until Feb. 9th? I’m not saying you guys are wrong or anything, perhaps the listed date is wrong, perhaps Louisiana stepped up the date, but something is not right here. Let me know, I’m very interested.

I think it’s time we American’s ask our European friends to come over and monitor our election process. That is going to be the only way we will have fair elections.

Looks like Ron was doing well till,,,rumor is the other candidates supporters banded together to beat him-

this off the LA GOP website
“Prior to the tabulation of the provisional ballots, the uncommitted “Pro-Life/Pro-Family” slate appears to have won a majority of delegates in all seven congressional districts.”

Let me first preface my comments by saying that I am a Mormon from Salt Lake City. I think that Dr. Paul is the new front-runner. I say this because he is the only candidate with a true grassroots movement and who is gaining momentum unlike McCain, Guiliani, and Huckabee who are all losing momentum (not to mention they are all almost broke while Paul continues to receive generous donations from many donors, not from a few ultra rich individuals).

One of the main reasons why Mitt won Wyoming and Nevada is because they are caucus style. Over 1/2 of Romney’s votes came from Mormons, who mobilize very well. Michigan also catered well to Romney as he made extravagant promises to the ailing auto industry. Besides, Michigan residents remember Romney’s father, so that helped him get a bump.

Dr. Ron Paul, on the other hand, is a true statesman with sound fiscal policy, monetary policy, a respect for the constitution, and the rule of law. If the Pro-life/Pro-family slate won in Louisiana, I think the delegates should strongly consider Dr. Paul because he is the candidate that embodies that platform.

Keep up the efforts troops!!!

Tell everyone you come in contact with to vote in the Primary!!!

Keep sending your donations to the Ron Paul campaign!!!

Lets make this Revolution happen!!!

Media didnt cover the event because the heard Ron Paul was going to take it.

If the main-stream ain’t talkin about my friend,he MUST be winnin!If he does win I don’t see how they can get around talkin about it.But they will surely not give it much airtime,you could probably bet on that.If Dr.Paul hadn’t been blackballed all over the TV he would be winning in all states hands down!THE JERKS KNOW THAT!!!!THEY’LL GET THEIRS BEFORE IT’S ALL OVER WITH,I HOPE.
God Bless and protect Dr.Paul and his family,

Nice to see open reporting here.
Ron Paul is my district’s Congressman so we KNOW what he says, he does. That is unlike ALL other recent Presidents(Read My Lips, Monica, WMD, etc.) including the current batch who now are turning to mud-slinging and flip-flopping.

Thank you so much from south Texas for reporting this. We in the United States will not see it in our “Lamestream Media” or on “Fake News” or any of the others.

The media is saying John McCain won the Louisiania Caucus. What’s up with that?

Ron Paul came in second?

Is something a miss here?

The media thinks they can shut Paul down? The media thinks that by not televising Ron Paul he will loose? Just look around. read the comments! RON PAUL HAS TO WIN! I don’t see Obama or McCain supporters saying not a damn thing.

” I don’t see Obama or McCain supporters saying not a damn thing.” They are too busy on their candidates youtube or facebook accounts contradicting themselves. This is the most ridiculous election I have seen in my entire life, it reminds me of a 3 ring circus.

They are all using the word change non-stop only after ron paul’s message of freedom and liberty was starting to reach people. Everyone was realizing that Ron Paul was a change and one we need badly for our country to survive. Those in control of our government realized people wanted change and voila instantly all candidates started to use the word change non-stop. It should tell the average person something that instead of actually using saying anything of substance they just say the word and hope that people believe they stand for change hahaha it is so crazy.

The most insane part about all of this people are falling for it… imagine that. I wonder if I say that I’m handsome enough times if people will start to believe it? Judging from what is going on I believe that the average person suck it all up. You know I bet if someone got the media to say that they were contacted by aliens and there are on-going negotiations to aquire alien technology, the average Fox/CNN/NBC viewer would believe it. That is how conditioned the average person is, and to tell you the truth it is a very very sad thing to see.

You want change? How about the truth that would be a change right? Hillary Clinton was involved in fundraising fraud, Obama was named in a Federal Corruption Case, MCcain was born in Coco Solo, Panama (then a US. Territory). One wonders is it possible to be born in Puerto Rico and run for president? After all it is a US Territory like MCcain’s birthplace. That aside about MCcain he fought tooth and nail legislation that would hold Beaurocrats responsible for lying or withholding information. He seems to be working for the pentagon, not for the American people watch what some republicans and others have to say about this very corrupt guy that may have some very deep mob ties http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFM1xqqTX_g

Mike Huckabee: This is an interesting one a former reverend, and indirectly claims he is the only moral candidate and religious one. He is unoppsed to using religion to advance his career obviously. His very own son was said to mutilate and strangle animals (dogs), a way a child turns out always reflects on their parents ability to raise a child. If we ignore that what else can we say. Well he was caught lying red handed when on the media. He claimed he was the only candidate who brought up the economy first and was the only one that was willing to fix it first….

Well now, wasn’t ron paul talking about the faulty economy and the Federal Reserve (private central bank) first? Yes in fact he was the first and only since Ron Paul has been stating the need to fix this system before we bankrupt ourselves and this is a position he held in 1988, look up the numerous videos from 1988 that surfaced online and you’ll see his position hasn’t ever changed. Where were all the rest of the candidates in 1988? Huckabee also said if elected he would replace the constitution entirely, and replace it with “God’s Law”. That was the first time I ever heard anyone publicly say they would destroy the constitution and people applauded wildly.

How far our country has fallen, that is sad to see a candidate say he would replace the constitution and then to see conditioned people clap on that talking point. I value the freedom of speech, however I thought it was treason to mention destroying the constitution. Do you see the emergence of the situation though, we are in real danger when we get people close to getting in office and they think it would be okay to destroy the constitution of the united states. One wonders if Huckabee got into office what Oath would he take, I know it wouldnt be the “Uphold the constitution …etc” as he said he would replace the entire constitution and substitute it with god’s law. Interesting to think about.

Taking money from special interests? Worrying about themselves and lining their pockets? Hopefully people see that these candidates (all but one) switched their positions when they knew they would run for president, and it wasn’t till then they actually picked up the issues they are talking about today.

Rudy Giuliani: There are so many things I could say here. Proven mob ties, lied about the air in New York saying it was safe to breath in, made fun of a guy with parkinson’s disease on his Radio show, Made a video where he compared welfare recipients to lazy animals, made a video in which he was in drag smooching donald trump, the only issue he stands on is terrorism and blowing up countries before they blow us up, profits from 9/11 says 9/11 more than anyone else to instill a sense of urgency and fear into viewers, married his own cousin (ewwwwww), worked with many people busted for importing/selling drugs….and much much more.

There is so much corruption with this guy he just reaks of it and his body language gives it all away. Sure he has swagger, overly confident and always has a shit eating smirk even when he talks about terrorism. He also supported hugely the domestic spying program, yes the spying program that turns anyone and everyones private phone calls into water cooler talk for these NSA people. I’m not sure if you know how this works but let me give you the jist of it. Let’s use AT&T for example. The main fiber optic line is taken into a splitter (the line that handles all calls, all internet traffic….EVERYTHING that runs through those lines all domestic and international) Then the splitter sends the main line to it’s original destination and the new line they created to a “Secret Room”.

It’s not really secret, you just need a NSA clearence to get in. Anyway the copied line goes into this room and into a huge data mining server that records all information then categorizes it etc..etc.. So if you are using an AT&T phone you can be positive you conversations,txt messages, voicemails, ….EVERYTHING is recorded from EVERYONE using AT&T. http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20060412-6585.html
http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2007/08/secret-spying-s.html Romney supported this all the way and still does. So you can be sure no he is not looking out for the american public, he is looking out for pentagon/NSA/Big Business. Do you think someone reportedly worth 500 million cares about you or anyone else from lower-middle class hahahahaha wrong answer. Oh not to mention he had hired illegal immigrants to work in his mansion (he said he didn’t it was someone who manages his mansion for him… holy shit he has housekeepers and a mansion manager? How rich/greedy are you buddy?)

I think you get the picture about what is going on here. All candidates but one (Ron Paul) is a CFR member/sympathizer, to guarantee them and their agenda victory they usually put their members (the non-publicly disclosed members) up for candidacy and try to ensure all candidates are theirs, that way no matter who wins the nominations for each party and who wins, they always win. There are about 4,000 plus members of the CFR (publicly disclosed anyway) and all are members of journalism/reporting/CEO’s/Owners of media conglomerates, which goes to show you why Ron Paul has 0 coverage and the very few times he has had coverage they ridiculed him, compared him to terrorists, and blatantly lied about him when of course they weren’t accusing him or his supporters of crimes. I’m not voting for who the media tells me to, Im voting with my conscience… Im voting for Ron Paul. Regards,
T.L.

I am so tired of all of this. The uphill fight against the propaganda is exhausting. Ron Paul would win 80% of the whole country if only they would get to hear about him.

The rest of the GOP – scary monsters and the party faithful are terrifying. I have never seen a more bigoted hateful group of people. And dumb as a box of rocks.

Good luck RP, he is our world’s only chance.

All right. I have an opinion on the blind loyalty you all seem to share for a candidate that really doesn’t, your own delusions aside, have any chance of winning.

If I may quote the ‘article’ here,

“Dr. Paul must be doing well, since I haven’t seen anything about it on the so called news channels”.

How in the world do you get that from a lack of news coverage? People aren’t talking about the stampede of pink elephants running through Times Square as I am typing this. That must mean that civilization as I know it has been destroyed!

As much as I can appreciate support for a independent candidate, I fail to see why one radical right-winger would garner such a following. Especially a following that feels it necessary to spam every site you all set your deluded little eyes on.

I hold no misconceptions regarding this post. After seeing the effect of your imaginative fantasies about Ron Paul, namely truckloads of spam, I highly doubt that even one of spammers will read this and actually think about what they are doing. But I felt the need to say something.

Go on about your business now. I don’t think Digg has had a pro-Ron Paul story submitted in about 27 seconds now. You guys are dropping the ball, aren’t you?

“I have an opinion on the blind loyalty you all seem to share for a candidate that really doesn’t, your own delusions aside, have any chance of winning.

“As much as I can appreciate support for a independent candidate, I fail to see why one radical right-winger would garner such a following.”

He is a republican candidate not an independent candidate. Radical: a person who holds or follows strong convictions or extreme principles; extremist. I think you perhaps watch too much television, routinely the media calls Ron Paul a radical when he is not. I’m staunchly opposed to your use of the word radical in this case. Follow core values our country was founded on is not radical and Ron Paul is not an extremist. Too many times does the media use the word radical/extremist with the word terrorist,jihadist. Now when they mention him when they want to do hit pieces on him or his supporters they use radical to describe them.
I think perhaps once again you have fallen victim to the labeling and categorizing of people the media encourages. Believing in and following the greatest and most important document in our nation’s history (the constitution) is not a radical idea. If anything or anyone is radical it is McCain and the 100+ year long war he proposed and said he would pursue if elected. If anything is extreme or radical it is Mike Huckabee who said if elected he would revoke the constitution and replace it with “God’s Law”, that is radical, that is extreme.
Blind Loyalty? Are you kidding me? No it is not blind loyalty as we know where are candidate stands, we know his voting record, we know the warnings he gave in 1988 about our monopoly, our fiat currency system and it’s short comings and it’s deception. His position hasn’t changed to line up with his yearnings to become president like ALL the other candidates.

Blind loyalty really more accurately describes Mike Huckabees followers or John McCain’s followers. Huckabee supporters are blinded by their loyalty to their religion, McCain supporters are blinded by their emotions and McCain’s prisoner of war status and experiences.
Huckabee promised to get rid of our constitution, the constitution of the united states of America. McCain promised to pursue a 100+ year long war in Iraq yet promises to spend less money and have less government in peoples lives and to limit the size of government, a direct result of more wars and more prolonged wars is that the government will grow up around that and get bigger, and another result is more government in our everyday activities, one more result is the YOU SPEND MORE MONEY! This all more accurately describes blind devotion than anything else.
No chance of winning? Fox really has you in it’s palms doesn’t it. You are eating every bit of propaganda fed to you through the idiot’s box. He has set a record in fund raising no other candidate has, in fact is a record in all America’s political history. He won second place in Nevada, He was the 2nd in Louisiana’s delegate caucus. All without one iota of help from the media and with zero coverage.
Each day Ron Paul receives hundreds of new donors to his fund raiser, each day he receives new supporters who finally had a chance to listen to him speak on his issues. If the media covered him as much as they covered Giuliani he would be an unstoppable force. They realize if they did cover him he would resonate with 80 percent of America because of his stance of invalid wars, because of his stance on over spending, because of his stance on corrupt factions of government (IRS), because of his stance on a private central bank our forefathers were always staunchly opposed to, because of his stance on Habeas Corpus and reinstating it and all freedoms that have been trampled on by those in control of our government.
Once again blind loyalty? No this is a position I have always had way before I have ever heard Ron Paul’s name even uttered. This is the stance my conscience has told me to take, not because of what the media wants me to vote, not because of peer pressure, but because of my conscience and moral stance. He has a better chance of winning than Fred Thompson ever had, he has a better chance than Rudy Giuliani ever had, he has a better chance of winning than Edwards ever had, and now he has a better chance of winning than Huckabee. If the truth got out about Hillary, Romney, and Obama he would have a better chance than all three of them to become president.
I think in all honestly your blind devotion, your blind adoration of the media and it’s reporters is what is deluding you and affecting you. Regards,

Well, the official Republican Party website of Louisiana hasn’t been updated since Jan. 23rd.
Yes, I think that Paul must have won. That’s the only possible explanation for the media silence.
Now that Dennis is out… Go Ron Paul!

“Yes, I think that Paul must have won. That’s the only possible explanation for the media silence.” I wouldn’t say that is the only reason for the silence. Even when Ron Paul came in 2nd in Nevada they pretty much were silent on it except for the fact that Romney won, they did a hell of a job at saying just how HUGE that was for Romney and little else was said about Nevada.

So even with him coming in 2nd if you believe that report (which I really don’t buy that, I’m more inclined to think if it were official Ron Paul would be the winner, we’ll see) then it shows why it is being blacked out. Perhaps they just want to make it seem that Louisiana doesn’t have a voice and doesn’t exist altogether. Speculation does no good really. I stick to what I know for sure and I know the media is controlled, I know all major networks have the same agenda, and I know that Ron Paul doesn’t support their agenda and their “Status quo is good” mantra.

Any good reports on Ron Paul will be supressed (if there happen to be moral reporters anymore), and all good results for Paul in the primaries will be blacked out. If Ron Paul wins a state the mass media will skip entirely reporting on that states primary, and if they are forced somehow into giving results they will just right out lie about the winner and say someone like McCain won that primary even though we know to the contrary.

The new york times recently endorsed a GOP candidate and said that their candidate will not run the country like bush and will not support strategies and policies that bush supported,,, guess who the New York Times endorsed…. John McCain! He who says we should be in Iraq for 100+ more years. Staying in Iraq one could argue is a Bush policy, Staying there and staying in prolonged wars for over 100+ years is Bush’s wet dream. So the New York Times is completely either fooled and they don’t have any intelligent people there, or they are just one more bought and paid for media head. Either way they can kiss the ass of this patriot!

All right, having read your responses, I will at least retract the radical adjective from my description of Ron Paul. I do have some qualms with some of your statements though. To say that I have a blind adoration of the media and reporters, especially without any actual evidence of that, seems to be out of line. Frankly, I believe less of what I hear on the news every passing day. My opinions on Ron Paul are not culled from press coverage (And one of you said that he receives zero media coverage, while the other proclaimed that the media is always proclaiming him a radical. I don’t suppose you can have it both ways), but from sites much like this. My problem with getting behind a candidate like Ron Paul is that he really stands against alot of the things that I am for, and that I think that rational human beings should be for. His pro-life (a misnomer if there ever was one) stance, his ideas on gun control are either inconsistent or borderline dangerous, his refusal to accept the theory of evolution (which I know will be countered with “how does that make a difference in how he will run the country?”, but it does certainly speak volumes about the rationality of a person), his refusal to stand up for gay and lesbian rights (Instead choosing to say that Congress shouldn’t be defining things that were already in the dictionary. Civil rights be damned, I guess), not to mention his outright decrying of so-called ‘activist’ judges.

This is not to say that he doesn’t have good points, but there are certainly other candidates who I feel encompass those good points while managing not to completely alienate me with their stance on every other issue.

But, you know, and this was really the whole reason I was posting here in the first place, if I had been planning on voting for Ron Paul, the massive amount of just random gaming, spamming and useless rhetoric that the Ron Paul bots have been posting everywhere that they could would have totally turned me off to Ron Paul.

The measure of a man can be found in the company that he keeps, and if Ron Paul’s company includes those who feel it necessary to bombard everyone else connected to the internet with story after story, post after post, and blog after blog of pro-Ron Paul writing, then that is definitely company that I do not want to keep.

Hey Anonymous,
Freedom means you can believe what you want no matter how silly. Most people in office believe there is an invisible man watching over them in the sky that loves them. If a fetus was alive wouldn’t they be able to rent another “womb” if they got thrown out of the one it was in. Guns don’t shoot people…people shoot people…everyone has to be responsible for what they do…maybe we shouldn’t let people drive cars because they might hurt someone. Individual rights covers just about everything that can happen to you and so redheaded rights are unnecessary. Marry a tree or a rock if you want, it won’t bother me, I’ll be your best man if you want. Activist judges shouldn’t really be making stuff up out thier butts but if they want to be nicer to me I wouldn’t complain about it. I am not in agreement with Ron Paul on alot of things but when it comes to FREEDOM and the CONSTITUTION(which defines who we are by the way) those two things need defending. I am sure Ron Paul is the man for the job and I fully support him. When the boat is sinking the color of the drapes on the portholes is not that important. Fix the leak. Then on to the drapes. All the other presidental candidates are meatpuppets for WAR and will keep us in a war for generations with irrational arabs so if you have any children they will grow up and die fighting for gasoline in some strange place on the other side of the world so I can sit here and type random useless rhetoric to people that don’t know what’s good for them.
Also I urge you to reconsider your evaluation of a person’s worth based on them hanging out with Ron Paul……..M O O N that spells Ron Paul…some of the dumbest people in the world might just be the most important …how do you really know…

Well I got the jist of what he said. The thing is if you simplify it he is saying that freedom (certain ones?) scare him. The thing is the rights that will be restored to their original volume people originally already had, we are talking about getting something we already had, were promised and deserve. Thoughts on abortion… he believes that the federal government shouldnt tell states what to decide. He believes in rights of the individual (not collective) which is the way this country was meant to be by the founders of it. That is the way it always was and always should be. I still can not believe that there are others like you who would rather sell their country out because there is something really petty that they dont believe. You know I dont ever recall Ron Paul ever saying he doesnt believe in evolution, so I wont take what you said at face value because it could just be complete bs. Most of what you said are dividing factors that those (including media) that control what is going on in government routinely use to divide people. You attack people on speaking out over the internet by calling is “spamming”. You assume that everyone that mentions Ron Paul posts it hundreds of times over the net (spamming). You call people Paul Bots, just because they support a candidate you obviously find distasteful to you. My conscience has weighed in heavily on my decision to support Paul. I have found contradiction after contradiction, lie after lie and downright corruption in all the other candidates, not to mention they are all members and sympathizers of a private/special interest council that I find particulary offensive as an American, and someone who cares about my country. Romney lied about lobbyists being tied to his campaign, McCain said he plans on pursuing a 100+ year long war, then later says he plans to spend less and have a smaller government. A direct result of more wars and more prolonged wars is more spending, larger government everything he said he was against, Huckabee said he plans on getting rid of the constitution and replacing it with “God’s Law”, Obama was named in a federal corruption case, Clinton was involved in fundraising fraud. If one of any of the other candidates gets theirselves into office you will have more worries than who supports abortion, or who believes in evolution or not, You’ll see is all I have to say. Time will prove me right on that. Regards,
T.L.
