Ron Paul Backer Cries Foul In Brooklyn
Steve Miller, a 27-year-old Brooklynite for Ron Paul, just called in to report that poll workers at PS 180 (57th and 16th Avenue) wrongly informed a voter who wanted to cast a ballot for the Texas Congressman that there were only two Republicans on the ballot.

MIller, who is a volunteer poll-wacther for Paul, said the woman tried to vote on a machine, but was given an emergency ballot when the machine malfunctioned. She was then informed by "multiple" poll workers, who repeated their claims to Miller, ("right to my face," he said), that Paul wasn't on the ballot.

The woman did finally manage to vote for Paul, according to Miller, who said he has been spending the day traveling from one polling site to another to hand out Paul literature and talk to voters. He said he was asked to leave one site (PS 201) even though he was well behind the legal line that denotes the no-politicking zone.

    God damnit! This just cost Ron Paul the election.

    Sometimes there are malfunctions on a ballot. It isn't some grand conspiracy.

    I am sure that a bunch of Ron Paul backers in Texas are feeling disenfranchised since they showed up to vote yesterday.

    Now this shocks me. I'm sure he was following all the rules and not being pushy or picking arguments with anyone. That doesn't sound like a Ron Paul supporter at all.

    Yeah. I wasn't backing and working with Senator Obama when he was in the ILLINOIS STATE SENATE . You're correct, I just jumped on board when Pearl Jam started backing him.

    Nitwit.

    I will be proud when Obama is running the country.

    Forgive me for wanting to feel optomistic and have faith in our leader. Living in the "doom and gloom" world that you do must really suck.

    Paul's backers seem to take pride in their reputation.

    When on Earth did he say we would go to war w/ Pakistan? He mentioned going into Pakistan to go after Bin Laden. Will Pakistan be pleased? Probably not, but that doesn't equal a war. Pakistan isn't that dumb to pick a fight w/ the US for going after a guy who has killed over 3,000 US civilians.

    The first time I heard Ron Paul talk was on an Alex Jones Documentary years ago. The war on terror's an illusion. Osama is the boogeyman the CIA created in the 80's to ofight the Soviets. Osama also died in December of 2001. Of course Pakistan wont pick a fight with us. Just like Iran hasnt and wont. But that shit wont matter.

    1) Fair enough. I wasn't speaking directly about you, but a lot of Paul supporters in general.

    2) "An illusionist, Michael. Tricks are something a whore does for money...or candy"-GOB

    3) At least you don't sound crazy...

    I might be crazy. Not anymore crazy then your average human who has been thrown into the shit hole we call The United States. One can learn much about himself by turning of the t.v. and meditating.

    I believe humans will overcome like they have and we will evolve and better ourselves. Canada would be a great option if it wasnt for the NAU.

    Well, you can believe in that and I'll believe in Senator Obama and we'll see which one happens first and has a greater impact on the nation that is wounded right now and doesn't have time to wait for us to "evolve".

    There's always something for this type of person.

    "This would be great if it weren't for that. That would be great if it weren't for this."

    You don't repel the doom and gloom argument very well.

    But who cares, right? It's all a conspiracy. :rolleyes:

    There is a problem with the people of the U.S. We have lost our ablility to communicate with each other. The only form of communication we usually get is through the T.V.

    I don't think the machine malfunction was the point. I think it was the misinformation from the multiple poll-workers that was the point. It doesn't matter if it cost him the election or not, the point is, those poll-workers were in the wrong and it makes you wonder how much of this goes on unnoticed.
