Ron Paul Wins Massachusetts Delegates in District Caucuses
Each slate put up three delegates and three alternates, and 220 attendees sat and listened to speeches from each of them before voting. The Romney slate showed a quick video of Romney�s wife congratulating her husband�s supporters, followed by the Romney candidates� speeches. They made emotional, often angry, and desperate pleas for party unity. An older woman specifically called out the Ron Paul supporters, accusing them of undermining the democratic process. Her remarks were met with angry jeers from the crowd, as the majority Unity Liberty audience either shouted back in their defense, or merely laughed at what transpired.
Next, the Ron Paul slate gave its speeches. These candidates talked mostly about property rights, but never mentioned Ron Paul by name. The point which drew the most applause of the entire morning was one alternate�s call for putting an immediate end to the occupation of Afghanistan.
When votes were cast and counted (with witnesses from each slate), the total was: From the 193 ballots cast, Unity Liberty delegates Ronald Crochetiere (112 votes) and Marcel Burque (97 votes) won their spots. The third Ron Paul delegate, Joseph Cavallaro, lost in a close heat with a Romney delegate. However, the 13 provisional ballots may yield a clean sweep for the Ronald Reagan Unity Liberty Slate in a week�s time.

Take your responsibilities seriously, never yourself-Ken Howell
And yes,...Ron Paul would spank Obama in the general election.
You need to inform yourself.
There's a political revolution taking shape in America.
I do,ron paul has yet to win a primary,you should inform yourself. His little speeches don't mean votes at the ballot box,so that picture is about as useful as tts on a boar hog.

true enough. if the publican candidate beats the demo this year, i wouldn't be surprised if the demo party fractures into component parts. Greens will inherit a ton of the residual effects. the Libertarians will pick up a few pieces to add to their stable of platform planks as well.

Its momentum is going to carry it far beyond that.
The RNC has been bullying the liberty movement since 2007.
Now, the liberty movement has grown large enough to not accept the bullying and is taking over the chairmanship of the state's GOP.
The media would have you believe that it's just a flash in the pan which is being orchestrated by a handful of unrealistic young people.
It's not.
It's a very well led, very organized, very well backed, very dedicated endeavor,....and it's rapidly building a huge amount of momentum.
I've been a Ron Paul supporter for years,...but I have to confess,...I didn't think I'd ever see what's happening today,..especially what's occurred in the past few months.
while i too much prefer the ideal of a simpler and more free world, we're getting long in the tooth for such an ideal outcome.
i'm almost to the point of going to the opposite continuum and hoping for a "benign" dictator to help set things aright. of course, he won't be all that benign early on, while getting things into correct order. but, later, we'll all come to appreciate his hard work and determination.
in other words, freedom is to be much desired, but i'm thinking we have lost our capacity to achieve it, as individual voters, while voting for the usual suspects.

Well,...it's really not a matter of "we".
This paradigm shift is a product of the upcoming generations.
They have nothing to gain by maintaining the status quo,...unlike us older folks who are or will soon be dependent on the government to meet our old age needs.
What's occurring is the beginning of a fourth turning.
