They don’t sound much different from the LaRouche lunatics.

To be fair, every candidate has partisans who are this deranged.

Yeah, I remember all those rabid Bob Dole supporters from '96. Man, they were out of control!

Very true, but they tend to be a small fringe element, not the majority as with the Paulbots

Yes, but what were the votes for fairness? How come they weren't listed? They're committing voter fraud! Fairness might have feelings, you know! COUNT ALL THE VOTES!

I wonder, honestly, how much write in votes cost American taxpayers each presidental election.

To be fair, only the extremist candidates have such overwhelmingly high percentages of their supporters who carry on like this.

Ron Paul has a lot of conspiracy theory moonbat supporters. Naturally he’s going to be the fulcrum of conspiracy theories. They keep saying he’s being censored by Fox News, his poll numbers are being supressed, who knows what else in the inner circles of these fanatics. The biggest one is yet to come, when he finally loses.

For perspective, I lived in NH for several years and almost everything governmental occurs at the town level. When you need anything official, it’s off to the old clapboard building that’s been in use for 100 years, schlepp up the wooden stairs and go to that flirty Sally for your voter reg; to Mom-like Cathy for your car tags; and to genial old Fred for your hunting license. Imagine Hooterville (for those that can).

You’d no more accuse such people of “voter fraud” than you would your longtime independent car mechanic or the nice lady who runs the grocery store deli.

Of course the Paul people understand much about theory and little about the real world. New Hampshire’s about as real as real gets when it comes to local government access.

“Most of the these people are not rational,” Call said.

Seems rational to me that if you know you voted for someone, but the clerk says there were no votes for that guy, you’d get pretty angry.

I'm sure that is true, although it appears that a very large portion of the Paul supports are nut-cases on par with Ron Paul himself.

When he finally loses? Has he yet done anything but lose?

Good point.

The same is true in much of the rural South.

You might as well accuse the lady who teaches the 5th grade Sunday School of committing bank robbery.

The Paul supporters are, by and large, as nutty as a pecan grove.

Ron Paul's candidacy is the real conspiracy.

They flubbed up the vote totals.

We should expect better of election officials!

“The assault picked up after lunch. Paul supporters phoning Call claimed to be from the media. Others just yelled, saying she had committed treason, fraud. One person said she should be shot. She received as many as 40 calls that day”

So 40 calls, 1 dope made a threat.

Run for the hills! ALL Paul supporters and Paul himself must be nuts.

Let the pile on begin!

We don’t play by those rules in the United States. They think we are Czarist Russia and see their selves as the young Bolsheviks

Pretty funny comment considering you’re a Bush supporter. You know, the guy whose DOJ filed papers IN SUPPORT OF the DC gun ban, and who increased the Federal Bureaucracy more than Clinton did.

Not in the minds of his supporters. He's the front runner but the media is keeping it secret.
