The myth of free and fair elections - voters be damned

 As children, we were taught that America was the freest nation in the world. We were told that the bedrock of the American system of government was free and fair elections. The evidence speaks to the contrary.

At the March 6 North Dakota caucus, Ron Paul did very well, beating Mitt Romney, being edged into second place by first place finisher Rick Santorum, by about 1,300 votes. Although having received only 28% of the votes, Romney walked away with 64% of the delegates one week later. This brazen example of politics as usual in the North Dakota Republican party should leave the voters in that state furious. They have been robbed.

According to eyewitnesses, nearly 1700 state delegates appeared at the state convention to choose 101 delegates to represent North Dakota at the August national convention in Tampa. Rather than getting a ballot for those 101 delegates, they instead got a ballot with 25 pre-selected delegates and 25 blank lines. The attendees were told that they could choose from a list of names projected onto screens. The majority of the pre-selected were Romney supporters. In short, the caucus was rigged by GOP insiders.

Contrary to state rules, a second paper ballot with the names of all 101 nominees for delegate spots was not even prepared. Thus, the North Dakota State Executive Committee vies with the St. Charles County, Missouri for the title of the most corrupt Republican political machine in the nation.

One person commenting on the thwarting of the 'democratic process' stated:

The GOP needs to be penalized an the process redone correctly and if the police won't enforce justice we need a [militia] or citizen revolt team to go deal with the situation and arrest the GOP in ND and demand the delegation be disqualified and the process done over fairly...they need to be arrested.. These are the seeds of WAR being planted!!!

Another poster noted:

This type of crap is exactly what typically starts rioting, and armed conflict. When the common people are left without a legal, peaceful means of revolting, they will do so by illegal, non-peaceful methods. It is this type of behavior which will be the spark in the powder keg that makes it all go up in smoke!

GOP be warned, hopefully people will only flee from your ranks, and let you die on the vine, and/or take you over from within. But you are playing with fire, and I pray that those rubbed the wrong way by your dictator like actions will keep a cool head a little while longer. Revolution is coming, by which means will be determined by actions like this.

These sentiments are echoed by a large number of Americans who are tired of being played for suckers by a criminal government and equally criminal political parties, of both stripes. The facade of 'free and fair elections' is crumbling, along with our standard of living, and Americans are angry.

Conclusion

The political process in this nation is diseased. Our politicians have become a cancer which prey upon the good people of this land and there are only two cures for the malady. One is an honest political process where the will of the people is heard and obeyed. The other is the distasteful prospect of political violence.  Given the fact that our government is making laws which prevent us from exercising our God given rights,  including but not limited to the NDAA, it is only reasonable to conclude that they are doing everything they can to ensure that this nation is pushed into a civil war.

Ron Paul is the only candidate who will obey the Constitution, and he is the ONLY hope for a bright future for this once great but now, tyrannical country. For every liberty minded American there can be only two choices for president: Ron Paul or nobody at all.
