Nightly News: Paul supporters aren't "eligible to vote"

[pauliticalfan]

LMAO

So Andrea Mitchell (Greenspan's wife) just had a piece on the Caucuses.

Their latest meme is that we have a lot of supporters, but we're "not eligible to vote." No explanation, just that we aren't eligible. It's getting pretty funny.

Also gave Bachmann free reign to trash talk Ron Paul. "He's to the left of Obama, blah, blah, blah." Nothing negative about anyone else. Sigh.

So, we're all felons? :confused:

The implication was that we're all too young. Even though the people they were showing were clearly in their 20s. The fix is in, time to prove them wrong tomorrow.

She's not eligible to be a reporter.

Children and out of staters. That's the meme they are pushing.

Zzzzzz

Hahaha +rep!

Almost sounds as if they are trying to affect the outcome of an election by stating that one candidate's supporters are not eligible to vote in a blanket statement, encouraging them to stay home. Any laws broken there?

[avix123]

That "report" was so terrible. The worst part was Bachmanns long rant on how Ron is dangerous with his stance on Iran. Its such a sneak tactic by the msm to once again trash him in any way they can.

[pauliticalfan]

The only redeeming part of the piece was that they did give the Big Dog ad some free air time, and they showed one guy in a diner who was still undecided but thought RP had good ideas. The sense I'm getting is that a lot of folks can be won over with good speeches tomorrow night.

Yeah, but the type of people that support Ron Paul won't be staying home no matter what. Can't say the same thing about the other candidates' supporters. They aren't in the least bit inspiring. Mitt Yawney?

Not eligible to vote? What happened, did the government suddenly proclaim us to be terrorists and take away our citizenship?

[LeJimster]

There were a few young people below voting age in the crowd, but they by no means made up the majority. 10-20% if that.

[MsDoodahs]

She isn't one. She's a shill.

The only way we would not be "eligible to vote" would be if they plan voter fraud.

From what I understand, 17 year olds can Caucus, as long as they will be 18 by the election next year...
The fact they allowed Bachmann on trashing RP with stupidity though, shows it was just designed to be a hit piece, and not actual fair coverage.

[Kords21]

The weaponization of the media has done more damage to this planet than any bomb humankind has ever created.

[Original_Intent]

Someday these people will be held responsible for undermining America.

[RickyJ]

Someday these people will be held responsible for undermining America.

They will be, hopefully in their lifetimes, if not, certainly after they die.

[gmc1988]

Would you expect anything less from Mrs Greenspan? ;)

It's a very dumb comment for Iowa, where we can register on-site.

I do have concerns about future states, though. For example, we're already past the time for NH Democrats to switch to Indy or Republican to be able to vote in the primary.
