Excellent example that shows how skin deep your fascination is with libertarianism. Get your government out of my free speech.

[MutR.]

How ironic of you to say that.

Get your government out of my...everything.

[AlphaNeo36]

Get your government out of my everything... right after I increase regulation on elections! That was supposed to be ironic, because I was mocking you.

That's the joke.

Ron Paul has held the steady view that the creation of legislation that lead to super PACs was great because removed government regulation on the free speech of election funding.

It's strange you have to education paultards on the political views of their messiah. It's as if they don't know what their talking about. What a shocker.

[MutR.]

its called sarcasm. your internet humor is lousy.

[licence_to_kill]

thats a pretty lousy attempt at sarcasm.

Your numbers are off.

[AlphaNeo36]

There is nothing free about super PACs!
Well, Ron Paul thinks the liberty of creating a super PAC is the definition of freedom.
lol, that was sarcasm you nerd

They're actually 100% correct just like everything else I post.

573 / 1034 = 55.4%

55.4% of 2,286 = 1266

In order for Mitt to reach the minimum required for the nomination, he would have to win the remainder of the primaries by at least 80%. I will search around and find those numbers for you.

If you are referring to the 6 media corporations that control 90% of US media as the free market that choose to ignore certain ideas and candidates your are dreadfully misinformed on free-markets and especially the stranglehold the 6 major outlets have on legislation and copyright especially. There are so many "journalists" from all the major networks with ties to prison industrial complex, military industrial, other lobbies and politicians. That's hardly representative of the people's opinion being shown as a free market. It's pretty hard to have people agree with you if they never heard of you or only hear negative spin.

I'm sure if you had a shred if integrity you would admit that despite the media coverage or lack there of, Paul has a very committed following. I don't excited Romney supporters making grass roots movements and ads at a fraction of the Paul supporters. That's with all of his favorable coverage and millions in SuperPAC money.

The FCC is hardly a free-market entity by the way, we know they regulate all forms of "communications", channels, radio, etc..

Yeah uh Ron Paul just recently sent majority slates of delegates in about 5 states even though he came in 2-4 in most of the "popular vote beauty contest" More shenanigans at Alaska going on however.

using

573 : Mitt's current bound delegates
933 : total current bound delegates
2286 : total delegates
1144 : delegates needed to win

you get

2286 - 933 = 1353 : unbound delegates or remaining free delegates
1144 - 573 = 571 : delegates Mitt needs to get to 1144
 
571 = 1353x
x = .422 
42.2% : % remaining Mitt needs to get to 1144 

80% * 1353 = 1084 : delegates received if Mitt wins 80% of remaining delegates
1084 + 573 = 1655

If Mitt won 80% of the delegates that are not bound or remaining he would have 1655. Mitt will get to 1144 if he takes 42.2% of the unbound/remaining delegates. That seems very doable considering his only contender dropped out and he's doing better. I think you're looking at counts that selectively choose how unbound delegates will vote and that isn't something you can trust. It's best to work with factual variables and stay away from guessing.

Paul never had a chance.

Being able to create a rally is the most important characteristic of a presidential candidate. That's why Justin Bieber is the best choice we have.

[AlphaNeo36]

It's amusing that paultards constantly whine about the media not reporting Ron Paul fairly then they turn around and cherry pick images for propaganda.

It's called voter fraud, which you wouldn't have known about since you listen to MSM like a retarded sheep.

[MutR.]

We've gone over this voter fraud thing and their response is no better than the ones committing the fraud.

Basically AlphaNeo said "Whatever keeps that lunatic out of office" and all his little nutt huggers agreed with him in their own little fancy way.

[AlphaNeo36]

They are meaningless states, nobody cares if a few votes are miscounted.

[TheSilentAssassin]

I'm still waiting for the evidence. And as I have said before, if voter fraud were really losing RP the race, we would see a big discrepancy between the primaries and the independent polls. If RP is truly getting cheated, explain to me why he is getting spanked in the Pew Research, Gallup, CNN opinion research poll, PPP, NY Times, and every other independent polling system. Are they ALL being corrupted too?
