Ron Paul Wins First Caucus: MSM Changes Rules, Reports Romney Wins
***
Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul secured his first caucus
victory over the weekend, by winning 29 percent of the popular vote
among the people of the U.S. Virgin Islands. However, the mainstream
media decided to report that despite coming in second with 26 percent,
Mitt Romney was the real winner.
The Republican Party of the U.S. Virgin Islands reported the results as “112 to Paul (29%), 101 to Romney (26%), 23 to Santorum (6%), 18 to Gingrich (5%),”
In response, The AP and other mainstream reports yesterday claimed that Mitt Romney won caucus, because he stands to come away with more delegates.

The Original Title of This Article Was “PayPal founder gives $1.7 million to Ron Paul super PAC”
(according to reddit)
Romney super PAC raised $6.6M in January Restore Our Future, a super PAC aiding Mitt Romney, raised $6.6 million in January to aid his presidential campaign, documents filed today show.
The super PAC spent nearly $14 million in January as it blistered Romney’s GOP rivals with stinging ads during last month’s caucuses and primaries. It ended the month with $16.3 million in the bank, some of which is being deployed in Romney’s native state of Michigan ahead of the Feb. 28 primary there. . . .
A report filed earlier today showed PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel donated $1.7 million last month to a super PAC supporting one of Romney’s GOP rivals, Ron Paul. (Read more)

500 ‘Veterans for Ron Paul’ march on White House to media blackout
Nearly 500 veterans and active duty soldiers marched through the streets of Washington, DC on Monday to show their support for presidential candidate Ron Paul. Men and women traveled from across the country to be part of the historic march.
One soldier, 26, traveled alone, all the way from Alaska to participate. He asked that he remain anonymous, as he was breaking military directives by attending. The soldier from Alaska said that the march was “humbling and powerful” and definitely worth the risk. He told Examiner, “I shared some emotional moments with my brothers and sisters in arms. All in all, it was an amazing day.”
He continued,
I decided to support Ron Paul during the 2008 campaign while I was still deployed in Afghanistan. I started asking questions after witnessing so many injustices occur there.
Not only is Ron Paul the only veteran remaining in the race, he understands that our foreign policy is deeply flawed. Pretending that occupying other countries won’t have some repercussions is absolutely ignorant. The fact of the matter is we create more enemies than we can kill.
. . . .
Not unexpectedly, the mainstream media also largely neglected to report on the “Ron Paul is the Choice of the Troops” march in DC. One of the few videos about the event was made by RT, a Russian media outlet. One ABC article listed the march as having “dozens” of troops marching. After outrage in the comments, “dozens” was changed to “several hundred.” NBC was at the event recording, but never aired the footage.

Voter Fraud in Maine & Elsewhere
* Santorum won Iowa. It was initially announced for Romney. State Rep. party chairman then quit.
* Florida Republican Party announces winner take all. This is now being challenged.
* More ballots than voters in Nevada.
* Missouri has primary (Santorum won), but now they’ll be holding a caucus.
* Maine’s announces winner (Romney) without counting three counties.
Vote Fraud in Nevada?
Nevada has a history of libertarian thinking. That’s why many people consider this result extremely suspicious:
Ron Paul collecting delegates
There remains speculation that even though he isn’t winning primary elections, at least, not officially, his enthusiastic supporters are infiltrating the process and becoming delegates, which is what really counts in the complicated primary process.
Vote Fraud in Maine?
Ron Paul was interviewed this AM on Face The Nation on the Romney Maine Caucus “victory”.
In the course of his comments, Dr Paul mentioned that Washington County had their GOP caucus canceled where he was particularly strong.
Thus, Dr Paul lost to Romney by 194 votes.
All those votes from Washington County, of course, never were cast and therefore could not be counted.
Here is a discussion thread where it mentions that the Washington County, Maine caucus was canceled
“due to “snow” that never happened”….

Maine GOP Chairman Say Romney Wins Caucuses
By BETH FOUHY and STEVE PEOPLES Associated Press
PORTLAND, Maine February 12, 2012 (AP)
Maine Republican Party Chairman Charlie Webster says Mitt Romney has won the Maine caucuses by a slim margin, giving him a much needed boost following losses in three other contests in the past week.
The former Massachusetts governor defeated Ron Paul, the only other GOP hopeful competing in the state. Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich did not actively participate in the contest.
Party leaders announced the results Saturday. The caucuses began February 4 and continued through the week. Some Maine communities have yet to hold their caucuses, though party leaders say they don’t plan to count those votes.
Romney easily won the Maine caucuses in 2008. (Read more)

Ed Crane’s Remarkable Hit Piece on Ron Paul
The Wall Street Journal published a remarkable hit piece on Ron Paul two weeks ago entitled “Why Ron Paul Matters.” It is remarkable because while purporting to be a defense of Ron Paul’s ideas, it subtly portrays Ron Paul the real candidate as unelectable while distorting or dismissing outright some of his most important positions.
The author of the article, Ed Crane, begins with a solemn expression of regret over the hoary and irrelevant newsletters of yore to “which Paul lent his name” and which contained allegedly “bigoted” and “intolerant” material. Crane concedes that the objectionable ideas expressed in the newsletters are not consistent with what he knows of Ron Paul’s current views and, moreover, that Paul “disavows supporting them.” And yet Crane makes sure that the reader knows that Paul “refuses to repudiate” his association with the “likely source” of this secular sin of intolerant speech. Crane has somehow divined that this cardinal sinner against the official State creed of political correctness is none other than Lew Rockwell—who just happens to be the leading critic of neoconservatism and of its offshoot Big Government libertarianism that Crane’s Cato Institute promotes so zealously. So by the end of the first paragraph we know exactly where all this is heading—and exactly why the neocon Wall Street Journal published it. (Read more)
