**WARNING** If offended by bad language, don’t read. Election Bullsh*T
Posted on 2008 under blog |Ok…
100% of the vote is in in West Virginia (just to name one state):
|
567 |
52% |
18 |
100% |
NOT ONE VOTE FOR GIULIANI OR PAUL? NOT ONE?
ONLY SLIGHTLY OVER 1000 PEOPLE IN THE ENTIRE STATE OF WEST VIRGINIA VOTED???
THERE ARE 1.8 MILLION PEOPLE IN THAT STATE… AND ONLY 1000 COULD DRAG THEMSELVES TO THE POLL????
FUCKING PATHETIC. I DON’T BELIEVE IT.
I voted for Ron Paul here in Alaska. And when I was watching the return on CNN, and comparing them with the real numbers on adn.com. CNN was THOUSANDS OFF. THOUSANDS. So if I PERSONALLY know, that they’re so off in one state, I have to assume they’re off in every state.
PEOPLE PLEASE WAKE UP!!!!
PLEASE NOTICE THAT EVEN THOUGH PAUL CAME IN THIRD OR HIGHER IN SOME STATES, HE WILL NOT BE MENTIONED IN MAINSTREAM MEDIA.
WHAT DOES THIS SAY TO YOU???
PLEASE GET ACTIVE, PLEASE GET THE WORD OUT ABOUT RON PAUL AND OTHERS BEING OSTRACIZED BY THE PRESS.

Like I said, I apologize for my gruff attack against WV in particular. Didn’t mean to upset you, and didn’t think I made the people sound ignorant. I understand the caucuses there now.
If you think Alaska isn’t a state usually looked over you’re wrong. We’re lucky to have a temporary campaign office set up long enough for the primary to end.

Only one county had 2 votes for McCain as well but that doesn’t mean the “people” wouldn’t vote for him. Or any other candidate. West Virginia is a state most forget about and don’t spend time in- they campaign in the larger states where they can gain the most. Perhaps the reason not one delegate voted for Ron Paul is because well, they didn’t feel he represented what they wanted in a President- just as in any other state-they choose whom they feel would do the best job for them.
It upsets me when I see others discuss West Virginia in a light that makes its people sound ignorant, which is how the post came across for those who did not know the “primary” wasn’t a normal voting period for all registered voters.

Sorry, last time I checked. Delegates are people.
And not one voted for Paul.

Sorry to pick on West Virginia. I love your state, love the Thomas area, the Purple Fiddle (http://www.purplefiddle.com/). Have pictures on my flickr site… but I’m still flabbergasted.
I stand corrected though, I didn’t realize it wasn’t a normal primary. I was just really pissed off when I wrote this last night, and didn’t research the details properly, so thanks for correcting me. I stand humbly corrected on that.
Still, the delegates are supposed to represent “the people” right? Otherwise you could just have 1000 delegates for “Mr. X” and no other candidate would stand a chance. Doesn’t seem very “democratic”.

Thanks for using the state in which I live as an example for your incorrect information. Only 1,207 party members were eligible to vote at the state convention- of which just over 1000 attended. These were delegates- not the “people” of West Virginia. So before you go off on a rant about why “we” didn’t vote- check your facts. This was a caucus of the Republican delegates, not a normal election primary.
