So You Think Ron Paul Can WIN? Think Again!
The apathy and ignorance of Ron Paul's supporters could cost him the election.
You've seen it with your own eyes: Ron Paul has more money, more on-the-ground support, and more enthusiasm among his supporters than any other presidential candidate. You've watched Ron Paul's meteoric rise despite concerted efforts of the bought-and-paid-for media to demonize him. You've personally seen hundreds, perhaps thousands of supporters come on board Dr. Paul's Freedom Train. Yet all the support, all the work, all the money -- it may all come to naught! Here's why:
It won't matter how many voters change their registration to the Republican party. It won't make a bit of difference how many Democrats cross the aisle. I could care less how many independents in New Hampshire cast a ballot for Dr. Paul. All the great caucus efforts in Iowa - so what? When the final count is in, when the votes are tallied, none of it will count -- unless the votes that are cast are counted, every one, accurately and honestly! And, even if by some fluke the votes are counted precisely, it will be irrelevant if they are not all accurately accumulated and honestly reported!
At the suggestion of Nolan Chart founder Walt Thiesen, I raised this issue -- "How The US Became A Third-World Country" (http://www.nolanchart.com/article606.html) -- several days ago to, what has been so far, a deafening silence. Walt brought it up again in his riveting dream-scenario "My Dream For The Ron Paul Campaign" (http://www.nolanchart.com/article639.html). Maybe you missed those? Please go back and read them now! Follow the links, and be afraid - be very afraid - that your labors for Dr. Paul may all be wasted!
Dare we chalk this up to apathy and ignorance? Apathy about the possibility of vote fraud. Ignorance about the ways and means the fraud will be accomplished. Is it possible that Ron Paul's army of supporters, frequently described by the traditional media as "rabid," "frenetic," etc., are just so fixated on their idol that they haven't thought about the next counter-move from the opposition? The trump card that could force us to fold in this all-too-important game?
Come on, people! Are we going to lose this one to fraud? Do you want to wake up on the morning after the election (wherever you are, and whatever date your primary or caucus may be) to hear media pundits crowing about how Ron Paul went down?
Rigged elections. Imagine that! America, the equivalent of any third-world country, no better than your typical banana republic tin-horn dictatorship. Harsh words? Yes! Written in the hope that they might stir us all to appropriate action!
Even in the state of California, where there have been serious efforts made to insure the integrity of elections, and where the Secretary of State at least seems to have her heart in the right place on election issues, indications of looming problems have recently arisen. For example, less than a week ago, this report came out:
CA Sec. of State Sued by San Diego County and Their Former E-Voting Rep Turned Election Official
(http://www.bradblog.com/?p=5461)
Read the article. The summary is that the Registrar of Voters for San Diego County is a former sales rep for voting machine companies! Can you believe that the fox is now watching the hen-house? Worse yet, she has sued California Secretary of State Debra Bowen to prevent the recently mandated random 10% hand-audit of ballots in close races! If that doesn't raise your hackles, what will it take? How about this:
San Diego's Diebold Election Software 'Lost In Transit' (http://www.bradblog.com/?p=5462)
Lost in transit? You've got to be kidding! Do they think we just got off the boat? Did we? Can you smell a rat here, on the eve of the presidential primary elections?
The Wired story (http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2007/12/election-softwa.html)(<- follow link) about the lost software also has some very scary links below it, well worth following.
What will you and I do about this? There are too many ways that votes can be stolen right under our collective noses.
Let's at least do our homework. Check out the reference links embedded in "How The US Became A Third-World Country." (http://www.nolanchart.com/article606.html) Please look into what you can do to help out as a "fair election watchdog," and please report what you learn in the comments below this article, for the benefit of other Ron Paul supporters. Let's work together to insure that this election is not stolen from Dr. Paul, or from anyone else for that matter!
