I seriously hope there's a recount. Right now, some of these results just don't sit well with me, especially after seeing these articles.

can anyone post a link to something legit (aka not involved with alex jones) about this whole "ron paul got fucked" deal.

i'd like to share this with others but i don't want to be laughed off the internet for posting a prison planet link. most of the other sites i frequent would consider that garbage and spam. i hope there is a link somewhere else. i'd realy like to share this info.

EDIT:

just to clarify i'm not talking shit to anyone i'm just hoping for a better link. don't want this to turn into "alex jones the great vs alex jones the douchebag" v 9.7

I'm not an american, but I follow it a little.

If i was american, I would vote for Obama or Clinton, i would choose for obama because it would be nice to see the first 'black' president in america, i think it would change the mentality of some persons there

thats my opinion people icon_smile.gif

attempting to end racism is a horrible reason to elect a muslim raised liberal as president.

i'm just saying.

if you want to stop racism the last thing in the world you want to do is elect a black president, thats just gonna make it 100x worse. i'd imagine serious racial shit happening here if obamma gets nominated. it could get ugly. i might move back into the country.

I do know what you mean.
If I find a more reputable source, I'll let you know.
Here's a more reputable one about the Obama/Clinton part of it, with Kucinich asking for a recount, but I don't think that part of it was in question.

Don't expect any mass media people to write anything about it. Personally see nothing wrong with Alex Jones, he's probably one of the only sane conspiracy guy with good facts to back stuff up, not like the loon David Icke

you let this happen, and pretty soon you end up with a president who dissolves the senate, after holding his office for more than his/her term allows.

then all of the sudden, youre being chased by star destroyers, and your hyperdrive shorts out

Uh, what exactly are you trying to say here? First of all, Obama is a christian, which shouldn't even matter. 2nd of all, are you implying that Obama shouldn't be elected because of the extremely unlikely possibility that racists will revolt? I think that not only are you overestimating the power and organization of white supremacists, you're also giving into their will. To say you won't for Obama because you're afraid of what the rednecks will do is basically handing them your balls in a nicely wrapped box.

I'd never even heard of Alex Jones before this.
Anyway, the fact that the actual election site has changed the total for that station from 0 to 37 or whatever it was should be a pretty good source.
I honestly wouldn't expect the mainstream sites to report this. Hell, a lot aren't even reporting the Obama/Hillary part, and that's definitely legit. Kucinich is actually demanding a recall and everything.

Yes and he is getting his recount.

Once its done, and Hillary still wins, will you shut up and go eat a cookie?

I don't think he tried to or said any of those things. All he said that electing obama because he's black on the grounds that it would help racism is stupid.

Truly, voting for the minority because it's a minority is stupid. Vote for people off policies, not off whatever the hell they are.

because there's less people to go crazy when the gang wars start going nuts.

edit: to clarify his point. I think a lot of it is that right now, everyone blames the white man for shit, so imagine what might happen when people can stop blaming the white man and finally realize they aren't perfect while at the same time, white people finally can blame someone else.

Just makes a kind of powder keg if he doesn't do it too perfectly.
