St. Charles County, Mo., loves Ron Paul
Barb ShellyJust in case you were wondering (and who wouldn’t be?) Ron Paul was the winner of the Republican caucus in St. Charles County Tuesday night.
Apparently Paul delegates packed the caucus in Missouri’s third largest county. Last night was actually a do-over. The first attempt on March 17 had to be abandoned because of hostilities, mostly between Paul’s supporters and those rooting for Rick Santorum.
As this St. Louis Post-Dispatch story explains, a Ron Paul activist, Brent Stafford, got himself elected chair of the caucus over David Cole, the state GOP chairman. That was a step up for Stafford from the first caucus, which ended with him being arrested.
The net result was 147 delegates for Paul. They get to appear at upcoming district and state conventions, which will choose delegates to attend the Republican National Convention in September.
So who won Missouri’s caucus? We still don’t know. But with Mitt Romney’s nomination now all but inevitable, who cares?

1 year, 1 month agoSo nobody cares who won the Missouri caucuses, or for that matter the caucuses in Iowa, Colorado, Minnesota, Maine, Washington and Alaska? Since the self-fulfilling prophecy of Mitt Romney inevitability has most likely been accomplished, nobody now cares about the fact that AP, New York Times and CNN delegate projections were, in part, based on meaningless straw poll results that do not accurately reflect the delegate selection process in caucus states? People should always care about bad journalism.

I just can’t wait until the real delegate numbers come out and the MSM is stuck trying to explain their deliberate fradulent reporting to what few of thier believers are left.
Absolutely shameful.

1 year, 1 month agoGood barb, Mrs. Shelly, the old “it doesn’t count when Ron Paul wins” rhetoric. But if nobody cares, what is it that you say you do around here?
“So who won Missouri’s caucuses?”, you ask knowing full-well it was Ron Paul. And “Who cares?” All those people who showed up to the stadium, twice, amoung millions more across America.
It must be coincidence that anywhere there is transparency Ron Paul wins.
What a joke of a piece. “Your old road is rapidly aging..”

She should investigate the inflation tax and the Federal Reserves with fractional banking system and the dollar devaluation. That way she could contribute more than mere opinion.

1 year, 1 month agoBarb, you were actually doing a good job of reporting and then you blew it by adding a lie at the end. “So who won Missouri’s caucus? We still don’t know. But with Mitt Romney’s nomination now all but inevitable, who cares?” Romney’s nomination is not inevitable. There is a race going on. Have you ever been to a football game. It isn’t over until it is over. Marginalizing Ron Paul makes you look like an amateur. And there are a lot of people that care. Thousands of Ron Paul supporters contribute money to him every month to support him fighting for our freedom and liberty. We care! And Paul supporters taking over the St Charles convention is the kind of thing going on all over the country. Have you heard of the Ron Paul R3VOLUTION? If there is any doubt just watch this 2-minute video. You won’t see this on TV http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgsg7a-Ok8Q&feature=youtu.be
Freedom isn’t free. If you would like to support Dr Paul, the next money bomb is April 15th. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6D36NnFBXY&feature=youtu.be

1 year, 1 month agoHey everybody I have an idea. Bear with me now:
Let’s all be a smartalek in the articles we write toward those Ron Paul supporters, throw in some “but who cares” jabs at them and such, and then after we’re a bunch of regular smart mouths, let’s call the people that get angry at us for our writing this slop we do “crazy” and “mean”, “fanatical” and such for being angry. Isn’t it wonderful?
Then let’s go and ignore them all. Yep, if we aren’t being total piles toward them, we’ll just act like they don’t even exist. See that way we can spout out of our blowholes, that “they just whine when they aren’t covered at all when they do well, and then they’ll also whine when they are” and it’ll seem like it’s actually a legitimate claim. Then after it all our butts can be sore because they aren’t smooching on it.
Let’s not Dare, ever write a Single, *Darn Article, that is positive, or simply neutral in an way shape or form, toward Ron Paul or his support base.
What a laugh. Reporting those face that seem reflect positively toward Ron Paul? That’d be just plain silly wouldn’t it. Downright objective even.
