An Inmate Gets 40% Of The Vote Against Obama In The West Virgina Primary
This sounds like a crazy question from the Match Game,'people are so fed up with Obama,that instead of voting for him,they voted for a blank?'40% of Democrats in West Virgina answered that question by voting for a convicted extortioner,Keith Judd, over the sitting POTUS.Only Charles Nelson Riley answered differently,he voted for Rip Taylor.

Why I'm Voting For Ron Paul
In the beginning I was hoping that Sarah Palin would enter the race,but she chose not to.After looking at all of the 'approved' candidates,I found they were conservatives in name only,more of a continuation of George W. Bush.So I decided to vote for my ideals and convictions instead of a personality.
I decided to vote for Constitutional government.A government that is clearly defined,with limits on what it could do and not do.A government that is committed to protecting my God given rights.
I decided to vote for sound money.A currency that is stable,that is able to retain its value over time,and able to resist inflation.
To have a sound currency,I decided to vote against the Fed.A cabal that chooses inflation to a strong dollar,that's does nothing but erode wealth,the life savings of our elderly.
Most importantly I decided to vote for freedom.Free markets,free speech,freedom of religion,I'm voting for the right to be my own master,and not be a ward of the state.Today our government has criminalized freedom.I cannot speak what I wish or it maybe labeled 'hate speech.'The government assumes criminal intent when I purchase a firearm.I am assumed to be a terrorist if I fly and don't meet the TSA's approval.On and on I'm a criminal,if I choose to live free.
These are the reasons I am voting for Ron Paul,because I simply want to live free.

Democrats Are Trying To Nip Marco Rubio In The Bud
Verbatim post from The Daily Caller:
With every passing day the likely-hood of a GOP brokered convention becomes more and more possible. Obama and the Democrats are not going to sit back and wait for the GOP to decide on a nominee and then attack him or her.They are going to be more proactive and attack potential threats now and Marco Rubio maybe the biggest potential threat to Obama and a 2nd term in the Republican party.
There seems to be an orchestrated effort emerging to undermine Sen. Marco Rubio. At least, that’s how it looks.
On the heels of that recent and terribly flawed Reuters story, there have been multiple other shots fired his direction. Some of this may simply speak to Rubio’s level of activity and effectiveness. But the assault hardly seems organic.
Consider the last week, or so, as an example.
During a press briefing this week, White House press secretary Jay Carney took aim at Rubio’s proposed bi-partisan legislation on the religious liberty issue. And a video produced by the DNC also cast Rubio as Obama’s primary adversary over the religious liberty/contraception fight, calling his views “extreme.”
News revealing that Sen. Rubio had hired a firm to research his own background (a smart move for any politician) was “brought to BuzzFeed’s attention by American Bridge, a Democratic opposition research group.”(It’s worth noting American Bridge has previously admitted to targeting Rubio.)
And with another day comes another Rubio story. Politico is out today with what appears to be the latest attempt planted by the Obama Administration to undermine Rubio.
This lasest story seems to be a big nothing burger. Still, this should be viewed in context — not as a stand-alone — but rather as the latest example of a larger effort to strangle the baby in the crib — to undermine one of the few Republicans viewed to be an existential threat to the future of liberalism in America.

Character Assassination = Voter Fraud
From Thomas Sowell:
But the poisonous practice of irresponsible smears is an issue that is bigger than Gingrich, Romney, or any other candidate of either party.This is one of the reasons that the best and brightest among us seem to have no inclanation to serve in government,but it seems that the dredge of our society serve with pleasure instead.
There have long been reports of people who decline to be nominated for federal judicial appointments because that means going before the Senate Judiciary Committee to have lies about their past spread nationwide, and the good reputation built up over a lifetime destroyed by politicians who could not care less about the truth.
The same practices may well have something to do with the public’s dissatisfaction with the current crop of candidates in this year’s primaries — and in previous years’ primaries. Character assassination is just another form of voter fraud.
There is no law against it, so it is up to the voters, not only in Florida but in other states, to punish it at the ballot box — the only place where punishment is likely to stop the practice.

'Ron Paul Will Defeat Mitt Romney In Virginia Primary'
From The Hill:
Hopefully conservatives will wise up and realize Ron Paul is the only conservative choice this election.
What conservatives have long needed is a one-on-one battle with Romney. Virginia will give it to them. This alone should generate maximum publicity and benefit for the winner in Virginia.
So watch the results in Florida, but do not believe anyone who tells you the campaign is over, no matter who wins Florida.
This battle goes on to Super Tuesday at least, and probably longer.
On the matter of the vote in Virginia, Ron Paul and Mitt Romney are headed to a High Noon showdown that I now believe Ron Paul will win.
Hopefully conservatives will wise up and realize Ron Paul is the only conservative choice this election.

Random Thoughts From Last Nights South Carolina Primary
1.) Once again,no one won last night,because no one got 50% of the vote.I don't care how many delegates were awarded to Newt Gingrich,more people voted against him than for him.
2.) Having said that,it was sure nice to see Romney have his @$$ handed to him though.
3.) Also,it was amazing to see FOX NEWS cut Sarah Palin off in favor of showing Ron Paul's speech.Will miracles never cease!
4.) I like Sarah Palin,but if she wanted a say in who wins this election she should have ran.She is nothing more than a spactator now.
5.) Another thing that was nice to see,was how all the know it all pundits are telling us how South Carolina doesn't matter now,since Mittens -their guy- didn't come in 1st.Last week,when all the polls seemed to favor Willard,they were telling us how crucial it was to win South Carolina.Wow!What a difference it makes,when the narrative changes.

'GOP Needs To Listen To Ron Paul'
Jim DeMint:
Ron Paul hasn't just exposed alot of RINOs in his White House run,but he has exposed alot of CINOs too,Conservatives In Name Only.
“One of the things that’s hurt the so-called conservative alternative is saying negative things about Ron Paul,” DeMint said Wednesday on a national radio show. “I’d like to see a Republican party that embraces a lot of the libertarian ideas.”Amen and amen,Jim DeMint!
Later, DeMint said that the GOP “needs” libertarian voters – not just to rise above perpetual minority status but also to infuse the party with legitimate pro-taxpayer principles.
“You don’t have to agree with everything (Paul)’s saying but if the other candidates miss some of the wisdom about what he’s saying about monetary policy … that will be to our detriment,” DeMint said.
Ron Paul hasn't just exposed alot of RINOs in his White House run,but he has exposed alot of CINOs too,Conservatives In Name Only.
A Few Thoughts On The New Hampshire Primary
1.) Mitt Romney,like last week in Iowa,failed to get a majority.So,he retains his first place seat at the loser's table.BTW,all New Hampshire decided was were a handful of delegates go,that's all.
2.) Jon Huntsman has spent a better part of 6 months in New Hampshire and can only garner 18% of the vote.Dude,you are done,drop out and get your daughters a reality TV show.
3.) Is conservative media virtually irrelevant this election cycle?Last night Mitt Romney and Ron Paul together got over 60% of the vote.Most of the big guns in conservative radio,TV,and on the web oppose both of them.Have conservatives tuned out the talking heads?
