CPAC Seeks To Block Another Ron Paul Victory
CPAC, the annual gathering of Beltway cons and neocons, has freaked out the last two years as Ron won its presidential straw polls overwhelmingly, thanks to all the young people he was able to attract. The org was especially outraged as the Ron Paul kids in attendance last year failed to give the obligatory adulation to war criminals Cheney and Rumsfeld. So CPAC has changed its voting method, discarding paper ballots for electronic ones, making the election easy to steal. But Ron is not speaking--he's campaigning in Maine--nor is his campaign taking part.

Vote Fraud
Highly suspicious election in Nevada, as the establishment tries to block Ron Paul. (Thanks to Dylan Carlson)
One Difference Among the Candidates
Make That Three
Writes another friend:
Make it three!
Though I'll be eligible to vote before election, (I am still in gov't schooling now), I had earlier received mixed messages over whether or not I could participate in the MN caucuses. Lew, Charles, and friend in the Bachmann district, I am proud to say that I participated, inflitrated, and will be a delegate! Thank you, LRC, for being a part of my intellectual and political journey. I am terribly eager to see what influence I can have.
Keep up the fight!
Marching into Tampa
Writes Charles:
I have to say, even though Santorum won the straw poll in our caucus last night (with Ron taking a strong second), the caucus itself was a very uplifting experience. They opened the night by giving anyone the chance to give a brief stump speech for their candidate. Overwhelmingly, most of the speeches given were in favor of Ron Paul. Apparently few others were enthusiastic enough about their candidate to be bothered to get up and stump for them.
What made me even happier was the fact that most of the people giving these speeches were 40+ years old. My favorite was given by a Vietnam war vet, who gave a powerful and emotional speech about how he was so sick of wars, so sick of the killing, and so sick of the ignorant hatred towards people in these foreign lands who, after all, have lives and families just like the rest of us. He received a good round of applause, even among many who weren't Paul supporters.
Oh, and the best part of the night: I became a delegate...so I guess that makes at least two anarchists who will be marching into Mordor.
Ron a Winner Last Night
As even WaPo admits. (Thanks to Daniel McAdams)
