Liberty is Alive and not even death can cheat it

*
Liberty is Alive!

Just look at the candidacy of Constitionalist, Libertarian, True Conservative, Small Government, Foe of Collectivism Ron Paul.

No, he did not clinch the Republican nomination, but what Paul, a long shot marginal candidate that was given no press coverage, accomplished is phenominal.

Paul had, and still has, a massive grassroots support as reflected in dozens of wins in most of the GOP straw polls, as well as massive support through the internet as evidenced through supporter organized online oneday giving campaigns called moneybombs.

There were many of these supporter organized fundraisers, with the two most notable netting $4.3 million on November 5th, 2007 and $6.0 million on December 16th, 2007. The December 16th fundraiser was the largest one day fundraiser in political history. His contributions from the military trumped all Republican candidates. He also raised raised more than any other Republican candidate in fourth-quarter 2007.

Paul's name was a number one web search term, and he beat out all the other candidates in Youtube subscriptions.

This is a major victory for the message of Constitutional Small Government Liberty.

More Pro Liberty News:

Also in Virginia, Classic Libertarian/Conservative Pro-Liberty Jeff Frederick defeated Moderate Neo-Conservative Incumbent John Hager for Virginia Republican Party Chairman Position. This is a major victory for old school pro-Liberty conservatives with the technical internet know-how to reach this generation.

Liberty Setbacks:

There was a set back as well. Neo-con Jim Gilmore defeated Classic Conservative, Pro-Liberty Bob Marshall for the Virginia Republican Senate Seat Nomination. This was a convoluted win in my opinion because of the antiquated vote tabulation system at the Rebublican Convention. Because of the voting formula used, Marshall could have had more votes present on the floor at the Convention and still lost to Gilmore.

It warped my brain trying to figure out how to explain this formula in the simplest way possible.

See an attempted explanation of this formula:

Gilmore Eeks Out Formulated Vote Win

There is a Long Road to Hoe in the fight to rescue the Constitution and restore these United States to a Constitutional Republic and great Federation of Semi-autonomous States. There will be victories and setbacks along the way.

And, even if we are lose the war in the end for Liberty in this nation, and on the earth; we should still fight this great fight, because fighting for the Liberty of Man from the Collectivist Tyrany of illegitimate Governing bodies is the moral thing to do.

Give us Liberty or Give us Death

Convoluted Gilmore Senate Race Nomination Win

*
Gilmore won by 65 tabulated votes. If you crunch the numbers, Gilmore only won because of a convoluted archaic voting system that can give each delegate voter the equivalent of anywhere from one to thirty votes or more.

The Formula: Eligible delegates (those who don't show up to the convention) divided by voting delegates (those who show up to the convention).

Example One: They divide the number of delegates from Area A, (who arrive at the Convention) into the total amount of eligible voting delegates from Area A (who didn't show up), and that number is the delegate strenth of Area A. If two delegates from Area A show up and there are 100 eligible delegates from Area A, then they divide 100 by two and get 50 votes per present delegate. Each Area A delegate's vote is worth 50 votes.

Example Two: They divide the number of delegates from Area B, (who arrive at the Convention) into the total amount of eligible voting delegates from Area B (who didn't show up), and that number is the delegate strenth of Area B. If five delegates from Area B show up and there are 50 eligible delegates from Area B, then they divide 50 by 5 and get 10 votes per present delegate. Each Area B delegate's vote is worth 10 votes.

Then, if Area A with only two people present (being worth 100 votes total) voted for Gilmore and Area B with five people present (being worth only 50 votes total) voted for Marshall,

then Gilmore's two voters had more power than Marshall's five voters.

With this system Marshall could have had more delegates (votes) at the Convention than Gilmore and still lost. I hope the 'actual delegate votes cast' is made public to see who won based on actual present delegate votes.

P.S. Gilmore won fare and square, as far as we know, based on the archaic vote tabulation syatem that the party usees to help far away counties that can't get all there delegates to the Convention. I say "If an area can't get their people interested enough to come to bad.

Let's do away with this archaic delegate vote welfare system, and have a straight vote at the Republican state Convention.
