Romney clinches? I dont think so...

After the Texas primary votes were counted, news came out that Mitt Romney had received over 1,144 delegates, the amount needed to clinch the republican nomination.  But how could that be, when Paul continues to clinch states and get more and more delegates and party members on his side? As usual, the numbers in this equation are faulty. And here is the reason:
After each individual primary or caucus was held (the results of which were fraudulent), the GOP estimated the number of delegates that each candidate would secure based on the percentage of votes they received.  However, according to federal law, all delegates are UNBOUND until the republican national convention in Tampa this August. After researching a more accurate estimate, i discovered that, based on the delegate count in the states thus far, Romney has about 600 delegates compared to Paul's 200.  However, as Paul continues to change the fabric of the Republican Party and the minds of people everywhere, the amount of anti-Romney delegates will most likely be enough to keep him from securing the nomination.   But then again, it all comes down to how the freelance delegates vote at the convention.  With any luck, the grassroots R3VOLution will take a strong hold in Tampa, and Romney will have to answer to a crowd of angry Americans.

America's Best Blogging Scholarship: Why Ron Paul has my vote

"Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness" are things that we are supposedly guaranteed as American citizens.  They are rights that we hold dear, and often take for granted.  These rights define a free society, and are in place to protect the people from the meddlings of the government.  However, we as Americans have destroyed the free state which our founding fathers worked tirelessly to create.  Even though they were considered "treasonous" for rebelling against the corrupt British monarchy, they knew that their trials in the eighteenth century would "ensure the blessings of liberty to [themselves] and [their] posterity" (Preamble to the Constitution).  Now, over 200 years later in 2012, we are left to make a decision on who we trust to lead this country back to its former glory without forsaking the inalienable rights of our citizens.  I, personally, have made a decision to cast my vote for Doctor Ron Paul.  Of the four remaining Republican candidates, Ron Paul has been the only one who consistently voted against any resolution, democratic or republican, which contradicted the Constitution.  Dr Paul believes that life is sacred and would never perform an abortion; he believes that thouroughly patting down innocent citizens at airports IS sexual assault; and, most important of all, he understands that liberty is an American's most important asset, and must be preserved.  I place my trust in Dr Paul's capable hands, because I know that he is the only candidate who can keep his promise and restore America now.  Blogging Scholarship

Liberty Defined

I have recently begun reading Dr Paul's new book Liberty Defined, which takes a new and daring look at our personal freedoms as Americans.  I would highly reccommend this book (and I of course reccommend The Revolution: A Manifesto for first-time Paul readers) to anyone who truly cares about their liberty and wishes to put an end to big Government corruption.

"Those who sacrifice essential liberty to obtain a bit of temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."

Republican Debate 1/16/12

Congressman Paul began the debate well by addressing the issue of defense and military spending (and refuting a boneheaded questioner who obviously had no incling of the nature of Paul's views).  Just minutes later, the crowd went wild as Paul became the only candidate on stage to announce his plan for ZERO federal income tax for citizens. Way to go Dr. Paul!
