Ron Paul Makes a Comeback!

April 23rd, 2008 By: Michael van der Galien | Tags:

Yes Ladies and Gents, the Congressman from Texas is making a comeback; it seems that he has done very well in Pennsylvania. John McCain, of course, won the primary of that state, but Ron Paul finished in a good second place, with approximately 16% of the votes.

JammieWearingFool quotes a Paul supporter, who seemingly believes that a second place in Pennsylvania, without only two guys still in the race, is great:

 Ron Paul baby! 16% in PA!! This is strong victory for us Ron Paul supporters. PA beat out CA in total number of votes for Ron Paul without any media coverage. Plus we are having delegate success that should at the very least, embarrass McCain and the rest of the country club Gop’ers. Here in DC I get exposed to the some of the National GOP Committee people and they think Ron is a nobody!! But little do they know that a whole movement is growing, let’s take back GOP!!!!!! Limited Government, low Taxes, and a strong national defense!

    Ron Paul is still  in the race. There ARE still Americans who reject the current course the idiots have put us on. The ship is sinking and these morons are still sipping their wine or bud lights and wondering what American Idol is doing.

    Folks here are a few good links to the patriots that are doing the real work

    Bradblog.com
    Blackboxvoting.org

    and of course Dr Steve Parent, the man, organizing the  Delegate wars.  (look him up!)

    Make no mistake MCcain/Clinton/Obama all want the same thing, namely money in their pockets and us dead from war

    Oh and the come back- hasn’t even been reported yet.

    Take a look at how many delegates we ARE winning by that arcane delegate process. The process goes beyond the primary that the media pays attention to. Wanna help take over,   check out Dr Steve Parent.

    16%? Horrors! More than 128,000 Americans had the nerve to go out and vote for someone you’ve been telling them to ignore for the last three months? What is the world coming to? Looks like you’re going to have to drag Jamie Kirchick out, to recycle those old newsletter smears, yet again.

    McCain 73%, Ron Paul, 16% and Mike Huckabee 11%. Now this would be an impressive victory for McCain if it were not all but certain that he would be the nominee. Actually McCain already has MORE THAN enough delegates to assure him the nomination. But for someone who has it sown up to have 27% of the Pennsylvania Republicans voting for someone else, it is a different story. It means that 27% are not supporting him and if he wants to keep their vote in November, he has to unite them behind him.

    Ron Paul never went anywhere. As long as there exist people who believe in the basic idea that a government should follow the rule of law, there will be a place for the Ronulans. The constitution and the rule of law are alive and well and will be for generations to come thanks to Paul. There really needs to be a 3rd party for Amnesty McCain and the followers of his neo-colinialist ideas since he has furiously rejected conservatism and Republicanism and seems only interested in short term tinkering with communist/socialist ideas instead of making long term constitutional changes. McCain is an anti-American embarassment to the founding fathers. Voting for Amnesty McCain will split the conservative vote and cause Obama to win. So TRUE conservatives need to back either Ron Paul and pro-American foreign policy or Bob Barr if Paul can’t pull it off. Amnesty McCain is a joke.There’s no 2 ways about it.

    I’m in northwestern PA and did a lot of campaigning for RP with my meet-up group. I worked so hard with signs and forming a march through our downtown on Monday (with a nice color picture onTuesday front page). I threw out my back and all I could do on Tuesday was get out and vote.
    Paul could have gotten more votes if Huckabee wasn’t on the ballot.

    Is it Ron Paul or Andrew Jackson? I can’t seem to remember The bankers silence order has been so efective. Now is it the price of gas, or groceries? Or is it just the money has fallen to a new low?
    Ron Paul says what? about the paper money? What does he know anyway? You never hear about him any more. Not very important. HUH?

    I Google’d "bankers silence order" and got ZERO RESULTS!!!

    It really must be an effective conspiracy!!!

    But fortunately for us, we have Paulistas to see through to the twoof for us.

    Question for you: Was it the Bilderbergs or the CFR that was really behind the “bankers silence order”?

    Theu authors of these articles crack me up.  They write an article about Ron Paul then try and ridicule him and his supporters who post comments.  See above about "racism and Paul Supporters.."  HMMMMM
    Go to the archives and look at the responses to all the other articles they write - look hard, unless it has the words Ron Paul in it nobody pays much attention to them.  Much like this site.

    Go ahead and bite the hand that feeds you ‘poligazette’… back to obscurity you’ll be.
