You should see the ron paul forum, the last 20 threads on the front page are all about spamming the cell phone poll with programs and calling friends to vote.

You don’t win primaries with cell phones, guys.

Guliani invoked the Constitution several times during the debate.

It was funny.

“As of right now the earliest I have been able to find is January 5 (Wyoming). Nobody’s moved into 2007 yet and I seriously doubt anyone will try. They’ll push as close as they can get, but the moment someone crosses that line— boom. No more delegates to the convention.”

New Hampshire is REQUIRED by their state constitution to have their primary at LEAST 2 weeks before any other state. 2 weeks before January 5 is around Christmas time. Which means we can expect it earlier than that, since no one wants to politic at Christmas time.

Ron Paul has also voted against anti-abortion measures and anti-border security measures to ‘make a point’, but he has no problem submitting pork bills for wild shrimp farmers and child tracking databases because ‘everyone plays the game’.

Paul is a moderate libertarian who happens to be right on taxes and gun control but is wrong on a LOT of other things.

I said it before, and I’ll say it again.

You're a loony.

We are not an isolationist country. We have come to power by engaging the world, not running from it.

Ron Paul has no chance of winning the nomination.
He is doing a yeoman's job of derailing his own party though.

Bets that 80% of the paulites are Dems??

Pray for W and Our Troops

What’s absolutely appalling is the editorializing being done by Hannity about the poll results. This is embarrassing for Fox

[John Farson]

I moved to New Hampshire partially to "spam" the primary for Paul. :)

Also, NH has the strongest open carry recognition. You can carry a firearm anywhere but courtrooms and federal buildings.

Guliani is “SANCTUARY MAN”!!!n He is finished!!

[FreeReign]

We were the aggressors? Did Ron Paul completely ignore the fact that Saddam violated the ceasefire (not to mention his humanitarian violations)? Or that he violated the UN Resolutions that were valid under international law (which Ron Paul says our war was illegal internationally...which is odd, because I’ve heard his supporters say he doesn’t care about international law)? And his answer on a possible bloodbath should we live early is stupid. He just has to look at history (Vietnam). Then again, he didn’t think a bloodbath happened in Vietnam either.

Right you are, US007.

[Sir Hailstone]

What’s embarrassing is you Paulettes spamming the polls.

[SoCalPol]

I have talked face to face with Paul supporters and to a person they say the planes that went into the WTC and the others were by remote control and no passengers on board.
They are freakin idiots.

[I_like_good_things_too]

I’ve been very impressed by what I’ve seen of Hunter, I talked to my Dad who watched the debate, he didn’t even know Hunter’s name, but said he liked the guy from CA. An unfortunate amount of Hunter’s supporters here on FR have been a-holes, they’ve done him a disservice (IMHO).

[jmyrlefuller]

I’m not sure of the constitutionality of such a law or statute. You see, if some other state passed the same law, you’d end up with a continuous, contradictory loop, thus rendering New Hampshire’s law useless. Plus there’s the issue of one state tying its actions to another and whether or not that would fall under the national jurisdiction of interstate relations.

[Dutch Tulip]

WHAT WMD DID YOU SEE?????

[ejonesie22]

Ya don’t say...

I was, at one point, going to make an effort to at least try and take some of them seriously, because I wanted to give Paul the benefit of the doubt, try and be respectful of his efforts over the years. I had not seen him until tonight.

That’s changed now. He has lost his mind...

[Sir Hailstone]

Time for Leno......

See you people and RuPaul twits later...

[billbears]

What’s embarrassing is you Paulettes spamming the polls

And your proof for this is? Oh that's right, it's a slur against Dr. Paul you don't need any proof do you?

[RedOhioan]

“I keep watching Huckabee bitch slap Paul from You tube...”

Lol, yeah that was funny. ;)
