House Republican Conference Summary. Ron Paul on the Fed and election fraud CNBC 3-9-12. Ron Paul South Carolina Primary Results 2012. COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Brushing off his poor last place finish in the South Carolina primary Saturday, Republican Ron Paul promised supporters the momentum around his libertarian-leaning campaign would continue.
"This is the beginning of a long, hard job," the Texas congressman told fans gathered at a sports bar in Columbia, the state capital. Paul vowed to battle on in states holding caucuses over the next several weeks, saying the fight now is to amass delegates rather than to notch splashy wins. "We will be promoting the whole idea of getting more delegates, because that's the name of the game," Paul said. But the weak fourth-place finish was still a blow to Paul, who came in a respectable second to former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney in New Hampshire last week and placed third in Iowa behind Romney and Rick Santorum, the former senator from Pennsylvania. Nonetheless, Paul's team had hoped he would edge Santorum in the state. "Ever notice how the other candidates go up and then down?
Ron Paul’s Devious Plan to Steal the Presidency. Up until yesterday, I really hadn’t taken the Ron Paul campaign very seriously. Most non-Paul voters probably felt like I did, and laughed him off as that “kooky Uncle” who didn’t have a chance in hell to win the Republican nomination for President. Well, I’ve changed my mind. Big time. Yesterday I attended the Republican organizational convention for my Senate district here in Minnesota, and what I witnessed was an organized take-over of our nomination process by Ron Paul cultists.
They came to this convention with the sole intent to take over as many of the delegate seats as they could, and sadly, they succeeded. When I arrived at the convention and took my place with my fellow precinct delegates, I quickly noticed that something was awry. Paul’s Zeal For Delegates Could Cost Iowa the Caucuses. If the reports from this weekend’s county conventions are any indication, the upcoming Republican district and state conventions are going to be something else.
The Ron Paul presidential campaign and its ardent, and sometimes obnoxious, supporters appear to be serious in their quest to secure as many delegates as possible through the caucus to convention process. While the Paul campaign showed some signs of strength at the county convention, there is still no guarantees that they will end up with a majority of delegates. The delegates will not be selected until June. Putting forth an effort to secure national delegates doesn’t violate any convention or Republican Party rules, but it is rubbing some people the wrong way. Ron Paul has yet to win a single contest in the Republican nomination fight. This is problematic for Iowa Republicans for a number of reasons. Paul’s actions also hurt Romney, who also deserves a fair number of delegates for his second place finish. 1. Ron Paul targets terrorists … inside U.S. government. Text smaller Text bigger DES MOINES, Iowa – Ron Paul told a group of conservative Republicans today that he fears the terror tactics of America’s own government more than Islamist threats from overseas.
“Our government, instead of protecting our privacy and protecting our Fourth Amendment rights,” Paul said, “they protect the secrecy of government and they invade on your privacy.” Paul criticized “50,000 SWAT break-ins without proper search warrants” in the federal government’s war on drugs, Obama’s decision to assassinate American citizens, including Anwar al-Alwaki, and the Patriot Act of 2001. “We way overreacted – over my objection – right after 9/11,” Paul said.
“I see no benefit and no purpose – it undermines liberty – the fact that Congress passed and placed on us the Patriot Act. After blasting the federal government’s lack of transparency and violation of the U.S. Paul joined Rick Santorum, Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich (by video) and Texas Gov.
