Ron Paul Delegates Assaulted and Arrested After They Win LA GOP Convention

Yeah, Imagine that... Romney can't get a room full of people together to hype up in the entire State, and wins by a landslide and a half... Meanwhile Paul gets many tens of thousands of raving fans from all over the state to fill stadiums, even at the most liberal campus in the nation... And gets only 10% of the vote.

I don't care how many excuses they make up, only a DELUSIONAL RETARD could believe there isn't a rigged poll or two in use here...

Personally, as a Ron Paul fan, I think he lost legitimately. The "rigging" is the mere fact that the candidates backed by billion dollar corporations with SuperPACs, unlimited funding, unlimited advertising, and unlimited exposure will always beat the guy who is funded by the limited funding poor and middle class. There's no fix, just corrupt politics.

The true revolt won't happen until they are forced (by China?) to remove all these "entitlement programs" that are just propping up some phony recovery.

In the (near) words of my Sith father: You don't yet know the POWER of the R3VOLution!

The media is telling you that only 1% or less of the kookiest people in the nation support Paul... And they've had a great run on telling the truth about Paul so far, right?

Judging by Rally turnouts, DELEGATE turnouts, and online poll/activity turnouts, Paulites make up the majority of voters...

...And violence against them has been escalating this week.

...I rest my case, ladies and gentlemen, I rest my case.

The word going out now is that in this case, it was not the romney campaign, but the 'christian coalition' (this year, for santorum) who tried to lock down the convention so they could get their people to the RNC. Since they didn't have enough people show up to the caucuses several months ago, they already knew they were outnumbered, so they added some rules at the last minute, such as 'the new rules are not debatable' and 'the chair is permanent and cannot be removed'

Here's some more of the events leading up to the police intervention. The delegates are asking about these new rules. If the chairman refuses to acknowledge delegates from the floor 3x, they can call to have him removed.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL.

The establishment is scared shitless. The old chairmen kept talking as if he was the chairmen, and they proceeded to have the real convention. It makes me happy to know that people really do know about the establishment and their dirty little tricks.

Reminds me of a little fucking ant desperately grasping on to the ledge of something before being swept off by a gust of wind.
