      Good point on the Media Propaganda Pundits, BUT, can we please talk about the GOP & ELECTION TAMPERING? I mean, as being here with the ground force, we have witnessed FIRST-HAND how the MONTANA GOP cheated Dr. Paul out of 25 delegates the last election. There is also strong suspicions the GOP cheated Dr. Paul in Iowa and South Carolina. Someone MUST TALK about the election fraud & MEDIA “talking points”, or we will continue to lose, and all the thousands of dollars we (personally) have spent will be in vain!! And, we need that money to spend elsewhere in our family, like on our grandson who has been vaccine-injured! We just want somebody to address the FRAUD and MEDIA BIAS. We want to see LAWSUITS by the campaign. The campaign just can’t let the GOP get away with this!! Please help!

        I would LOVE to hear some talk about this as well. Perhaps we’re off base about what’s going on with the Iowa delegates, but I certainly don’t trust the Republican Party. They will do whatever they can to jam our gears. I still would like to know how Ron Paul went from 1st place in Iowa (even in the entrance polls) to a somewhat distant 3rd (relative to the Romney/Santorum votes. Is it true that the votes that went missing just happened to have been from Ames and other college precincts? What happened in SC, Laura? Are you hearing anything specific? I know Ron Paul lost 4-7% points from the final polling to election day. Besides, how could all those awesome ads against Newt Swingrich and Rick Sanitorium (and millions of dollars) that were so effective in Iowa have been completely useless in South Carolina?

          The Iowa delegate selection hasn’t happened yet. No one has won Iowa and won’t until June. Those are the rules. Those always were the rules.

          The media hypes what essentially is another straw poll, run by the Party and not by any government body—that’s all the caucuses are.

          At the caucuses people who hang around vote on delegates to the county conventions. At those later county conventions they select delegates to their state convention and AT THAT state convention they select the national convention delegates.

          All indications are that the much better organized Ron Paul troops outnumber everyone else in delegates chosen to go to the county conventions…that would mean he’ll prevail in Iowa.

          Just remember, it’s like Iowa hasn’t happened yet, despite what you hear on TV.

        It’s unknowable in Iowa because the process isn’t complete. Here’s again what I posted to JT below:

        sadly majorities of people don’t understand any of it, and how the electorate works. These same folks will never read the constitution or know our individual rights. The “unofficial” use this to their advantage and lead the blind to voluntary enslavement. We see this happening on the vaccination level also. When you add the degree of criminality and corruption, it becomes difficult for moral and ethical people to fathom, much less believe, there could be a conspiracy of this magnitude. My fear is they will kill Ron Paul, even if we manage to overcome the voter Fraud and win the Election.

        Amen I am glad to see someone speak the truth. We were cheated in Iowa. 8 areas they lost the ballots? Well they just happened to be near college towns.

      Wead is awesome.

    • Marc L.

      IMHO Wead chuckles too much too often, which undermines credibility and distracts from his so important and valid positions.

        I think he laughs to keep from crying. I know I do often these days.
