Great find!! ROFL!!!

developing...

[r3volution]

in the fed in 2012 for making threats in 99 ? sheesh .

[Razmear]

Judd also got more votes than Romney, just in case we can play that angle.

Still at a loss, figured it was crossover voters trying to dump the Gov or senator, but the numbers don't synch.

Dude pulled a high of 62% in one county.

[RPES1]

Why shouldn't Ron run 3rd party then?

[J_White]

wtf ! really !

[John F Kennedy III]

Lol wow

[Eisenhower]

definitely has my vote over obama bin laden

I pointed this out earlier and to those that don't know WV was one of Obama's worst states in the primary against Hillary. He lost to her by almost 40 points. Of course those in the media especially the black pundits said it was because of "racist" Appalachia. Funny thing is in the southern states Obama would carry a 90 to 10 ratio over Hillary in the primary, but that was never called racist even though the blacks used to love the Clinton's. Funny how one gets called out and the more obvious one don't. Well it's not funny, sad really.:rolleyes:

[devil21]

Obama said he would destroy their entire livelihood. It's great meme but damn Im not surprised.

[John F Kennedy III]

That guy is officially my 3rd favorite candidate after Paul and Vermin Supreme.

[alucard13mmfmj]

I'd vote for Basil Marcaeux...

[qh4dotcom]

Too bad he didn't win

[PaulConventionWV]

I'm not sure whether to be proud or ashamed.

[Dianne]

I would vote for the dude myself, if it came down to a choice between Romney and Obama. At least this guy is already confined to a prison, where Obama and Romney should be.

[The Goat]

It says he was locked up for making threats. what kind of threats?

[Tyler_Durden]

It's top story on drudge!

[Bern]

I'm guessing people saw that last name and figured he was related to a certain family of country singers / actresses?

You should be disappointed that Obama won.

[walt]

I dunno, they could have inflated this guy's vote totals to say look how many more votes this guy got than "the defender of the constitution". :(

[VBRonPaulFan]

definitely has my vote over obama been bombin

fixed that for you ;)

[wgadget]

From what I understand the Republicans voted for him as a joke...similar to Limbaugh's Operation Chaos.

[libertythor]

Anybody bringing up race is forgetting the most likely factor here, COAL.

[DEGuy]

Was WV an open primary? If so, why is it easier to get 50K people to vote for a joke candidate than Ron Paul who only received 9K votes? Obama must have pissed off those voters big time if they wanted to make that kind of a statement.

[qh4dotcom]

Another reason why felons should be allowed to vote....if they are eligible to run for president, they should be allowed to vote

[azxd]

Why shouldn't Ron run 3rd party then?Because he's gonna win under the Republican ticket.

[opinionatedfool]

Sounds like something started by the onion news

[WilliamC]

It says he was locked up for making threats. what kind of threats?

Threatening to unseat Obama from the White House obviously!

[Publicani]

You know what's the funniest thing in this paper?

"The state party also believes that <X> has failed to file paperwork required of presidential candidates"

Guess who <X> is.... Do you think Judd has problems with his Birth Certificate?

WV primary is closed, afaik. Only Dems could vote for that guy. At the most it's semi-open where unaffiliated/indy's could vote. WV is not a fully open primary though so the stuff about Republicans voting for him is nonsense.

No they didn't.
