We reported to you earlier that things looked positive for Ron Paul in the Louisiana Caucus Results (read more on that here); it seemed Dr. Paul had been doing well as nothing was being reported by the main news channels but now it looks like things are not so clear-cut.
The National Review is reporting “which slate won is not clear-cut, but it certainly appears that the order was: Uncommitted Pro-Life, McCain, Paul, Romney, others.”
If this is true it goes against what many Ron Paul supporters have been claiming, “An overwhelming victory”…It makes you wonder why we are not hearing any official results.

It looks like once the provisional ballots are added Ron Paul will still have the most delegates, but this is what happened. While the other campaigns didn’t have a full slate of delegates, they were able to get more people to vote for their delegates by promoting them as a different slate. for example, each official campaign has supporters handing out sheets with their delegates names to vote for. In addition, the four campaigns gathered the non-Paul delegates names and handed them out as the pro-life, pro family slate. Same names, different slate, still supporting their respective candidates. But who they support was not mentioned, just that it was a pro-life - pro family slate. Apparently this was a ruse to dilute the Ron Paul vote, as Paul has a consistent pro-life pro family record whereas Mitt and John do not. Politics at it’s best. This raises the question, why are these candidates willing to put aside their conflicts to minimize Paul? Why do they feel so threatened? All Paul is doing is speaking the truth. Or is that the problem?
Correction Joshie…
We must wait until the NWO tells us who won. It takes time to change all those votes when you’re not using electronic voting machines.
Some opinions are that Ron Paul will need another $150M in his coffers to get elected. Well, how convenient, that Mr Bush provided an economic stimulus package to bribe everybody. Lets stimulate the Paul campaign by sending our bribe checks to his support. Checks are $600 for each person, thus we will need 250,000 people to donate their checks. This should do it. It’s the literal cost of freedom folks. Google Amero, Trilateral commission, NWO, PNAC, ect… do the research. Go Ron 2008!
They ignored over 2,500 people in the Louisiana caucus. It’s an outrage! The deadline was November 31st, but they used a republican list from November 1st and in those 30 days, over 2,500 people registered republican and now they’re all being ignored… not just the ron paul supporters. Furthermore, when they saw Ron Paul had the most delegates, they changed the rules so the other candidates could file more! That’s unfair, unethical and goes against how any sort of legitimate election should be run and it’s a damn shame it’s happening in the United States of America.

State party blunders put caucus results in question
ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA – Today, the Ron Paul presidential campaign calls on the Republican Party of Louisiana to count all the ballots submitted in the state’s January 22 caucus.
“The failure of the Louisiana GOP to properly determine who was and wasn’t eligible to vote threw this entire process into disarray,” said Ron Paul campaign manager Lew Moore. “The party needs to correct this mistake by counting all the votes immediately, and releasing the results.”
Due to mistakes by the Louisiana GOP, hundreds of voters were forced to file provisional ballots, including nearly 500 that could change the outcome of the election. According to party officials, caucus locations relied on a voter list from November 1, 2007 despite the fact that under caucus rules, voters must have registered Republican by November 30, 2007. The Louisiana Secretary of State reports that 2,709 Louisiana residents registered as Republican between November 1, 2007 and November 30, 2007.
In multiple instances, state-certified Ron Paul delegates that were on the ballot were forced to file a provisional ballot despite the fact they were pre-approved as delegates.
The Louisiana State GOP also changed the rules at the last minute to allow other candidates to file more delegates. At the time of the original January 10 deadline, Ron Paul had the largest number of delegates pledged to him. The party then changed the rules to give other candidates until January 12 to file more delegates.
Those who believe McCain actually won the near secret Louisiana caucus probably also believe that New Orleans residents were not encouraged NOT to evacuate until it was too late, that New Orleans is still under water, that the FEMA camps with the toxic trailers were good, that martial law was good, that everything they saw on CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN and FAUX news was accurate and don’t believe that the needed volunteers were TURNED AWAY so the suffering could continue.
There’s a reason Louisiana wants Ron Paul. The NAFTA/CAFTA/ISTEA deal putting money in the politicians pockets (as the FEMA contracts did) is right in some of our backyards, taking people’s homes, farms and desecrating cemetaries… and going to foreign banks and mega-corporations.
The “fusion slate” delegates are politicians currently in office or running for office with corporate ties. Look it up. Jindal was a trojan horse.
It’s dirty politics and propaganda…as usual. Louisiana just doesn’t hide it as well as some other states.
of course the mainstream media in America won’t pick up on the Ron Paul revolution thats brewing because they would be giving air time to a cause that goes against their best interests (the status quo). They can no longer be trusted as they essentially set the agenda for all debates in Anerica. Its sick.
