CNN Called the GOP Nomination for McCain

[nate895]

LOL, I can't wait until the convention when they will all have their jaws drop as Ron Paul gathers vote after vote.

[freedom-maniac]

The GOP is screwed.

[nate895]

dude shut up, Ron Paul isn't going to sweep the convention, stop believing in fairy tales, John McCain IS the nominee, and Ron Paul is not going to win by these ultra super secret delegates, stop the concpiracy shit.

How the hell do you know?

[kirkblitz]

your very angry

I dont know what you are yelling about it is true delegates count and dont think some of us states have been working our asses off to get to that National Convention and nothing and I mean nothing is over till November anyway.

[idiom]

'you're' :P

[mikeycapz]

The odds are against Dr.Paul but I still believe he will do well and make a impact at the national convention. Only if everyone attends there county and state conventions.

[Matt23]

ITS OVER PEOPLE.

Get on with it.

[runderwo]

Because its called logic and reasoning, get off the computer go ask ten people if they have heard of Ron Paul, 8 out of 10 will say no.

Ron Paul has had a lazy campaign, He himself has been lazy, we didnt try enough, and its over, its like in a NBA game when the score is 100 to 82 and there is 1.3 seconds left, and theres always that one person who thinks they can win.

Are you still here? If so, why?

[kirkblitz]

'you're' :P

i dont believe in english :D

[Melissa]

ITS OVER PEOPLE.

Get on with it.


Thank God some of you were not in the Revolutionary War with this attitude or maybe you were but were called deserters-- thats fine go home now the adults have to get to work.

Um, that doesn't matter at a caucus where very few attend. (p.s. 8/10 people is probably 2/5 of voters).

[srps2233]

We should continue to spread the ideas of liberty through the grassroots and have 4 years of infrastructure for 2012 rather than wasting our time on party that cannot be salvaged.

[Paulitical Correctness]

Imaginary billionaires and super secret stealth delegates and all that other nonsense have caused devastating complacency in the grassroots.

[NinjaPirate]

How the hell do you know?

Many state delegates are BOUND, and since McCain is showing to be the leader, then the delegates MUST vote for McCain either by law or by "obligation."

Well, now we wait and see on whether to say "hello" to 100 more years of war, or socialized medicine. :/

conspiracy? "shut up"? Nice attitude there buddy. We are just trying to be positive here.

[ItsTime]

Now all McCain needs to do is follow the laws and he is out

I doubt it. No one was relying on some Billionaire when it became obvious it was fake a couple of weeks later.

You can override bound delegates at a state convention.

[orafi]

You can override bound delegates at a state convention.

You don't mean in the third round of voting, do you?

[nate895]

You don't mean in the third round of voting, do you?

no, for the first.

[Paulitician]

Yeah... that's gonna go well with the Republican base if you guys somehow managed to "steal" the nomination. Most have never even heard about him, and they're certainly not going to want to support someone who is anti-the Iraq war. It would be essentially handing over the presidency to the Democrats.

Bullshit, and like I'd want it to go to McCain in any event.

[Paulitician]

I can't believe that after the NH slaughter you guys are still living in lala land. To quote Wolf Blitzer, "Amazing!"

[syborius]

paulitician..just STFU, please. Show me a Mccaniac rally with more than 1000 people please? Not a university with a staged event and students. I want to see a rally with more than 1000 people drawn in from the street. Go to youtube and find me a rally please you fucking asshole. You and Abe should just go and fuck each other in the ass already.

[Hook]

Well, might as well try to take over the delegate slots anyway. What do we have to loose?

Anyway, most of those delegate counts are estimates, like the full amount they gave to McCain in Washington, even though we have over 2/3 of the local delegates there.

After all the shit CNN has pulled over the last year, and you guys still belive anything they say?

I'll give up once the State convention results are in.

[Poltiical_Rebel]

For goodness sakes, part of this was getting over the fact that THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA IS NOT ALWAYS CORRECT! IN FACT AT MY LOCAL CACAUS TWO MONTHS AGO THEY LIE 90% of the time! If you believe that they tell the truth when McCain wins nomination, you'll find that is just MORE THAN A MYTH! LET THE DREAM LIVE UNTIL THE BITTER END!

Cant you already see that MCcAIN won IT :mad:

Someone have an argument as to why I'm wrong here?

To me, it would be political suicide if by some miracle you guys would be able to get Ron Paul the nomination. He would be blamed for giving the Democrats the presidency. Better John McCain be to blame than Ron Paul.

[mikeycapz]

^ the rules are the rules there is no official nominee until the convention

[speciallyblend]

CNN has every right to call the nomination since he has the required delegates..

ron paul supporters are dreaming, yes we can plan all we want for the national ,but really we need a reality check real quick. if we are hoping for something bad to happen then we have lost already. if we wait until convention day then ,there is no hope for a independent run its a catch 22 the republican party doesnt want ron paul or the republican message and the ron paul supporters are so blind to see after convention day it will be over for ron paul and we have 4 yrs to build the party. we have one chance for convention after that its over in 4 yrs or we have to start our own party.

I'll be voting ron paul in general but to keep thinking we have a chance in the convention is becoming a pipe dream.

catch 22 sad but true whos to blame THE GOP PERIOD

[Paulitician]

^ the rules are the rules there is no official nominee until the convention
I'm not contesting that...

[icon124]

I think he can make an impact at the convention and open even more eyes, BUT he won't win...there's no way...and if he does win I'm playing the lottery that night

However, the 1191 delegates that the MSM claims McInsane has are NOT ALL BOUND.

I'd be too busy handing out "In your face"s to play the lottery, but I might make room for that the next day.

[Vet_from_cali]

lol @ the possibility of a convention. THIS RACE IS SET, AND THERE WILL BE NO CONVENTION!!! YOU THINK THE ESTABLISHMENT WOULD LET THE POSSIBILITY OF RON PAUL GETTING IN POWER?

imma laugh at the people who think THIS IS A POSSIBILITY, the same way i laughed at the people who thought huckster would cut a deal with RP with the whole delegate scheme...LOL

[Thomas Paine]

Well, that's game, set, and match. It's game over for Ron Paul. FUCK YOU JESSE BENTON AND ALL YOU OTHER INCOMPETENTS IN HQ FOR SNATCHING DEFEAT FROM THE JAWS OF VICTORY AND PISSING AWAY $25,000,000 OF OUR DONATIONS FOR SINGLE DIGIT FINISHES!!!

Heck yeah. We need to bring the wrath of true patriots everywhere down on this asshole. And I do not use the word asshole lightly folks. If a time to smear a candidate was ever needed now is the time. He should be the most hated person on planet earth before this election is over even if he wins the nomination. I would rather have Hillary win then this sack of shit (again I do not use the word shit lightly). And that is saying a lot since I never in my life thought I would hate anyone more then Hillary Clinton.

Uh...
Um...
Why are you here?

Let's put it this way -- let's say we TOOK New Hampshire. Let's say that rallied the troops and we took quite a few states along the way, and we had a 'honest to goodness' fair shot at a brokered convention.

You know what the media would be saying? That we were 'stealing' the election and that 'fake' republicans were voting for ron paul and subverting the vote.

We were NEVER going to be handed this on a silver platter, we will always be either kookified or vilified, and that's the way it is and always has been.

So you can either keep pushing forward or not.

But hey, whatever, you've been posting super negative in just about every thread so what do I know.
