Kimberly Bois’ tiny front yard garden isn’t much to look at right now. But in a few weeks, it’ll be in full bloom, and every blossom will cost her dearly.

Even though she says her builder gave her permission to do a little planting, the current condo board now says she’s in violation.

They’re charging the Portsmouth, New Hampshire homeowner $50 a day for being so petal pushy. That fine has reached close to $6,000, plus the board’s legal fees.

“It’s just not a happy place to live anymore for me,” says Bois, who planted the small flower bed with the help of her mother, who has since passed away.

She says, “It just feels like we’ve been bullied and really all we wanted to do was have a conversation to figure out how this can benefit all of us.”

A new certified letter arrives every month, ordering Bois to uproot her garden and keeping track of her fines.

Unlike Rick Santorum, I love gay people. Hell, I have a lot of gay friends. In fact, I get pretty perturbed when someone attacks them just for being themselves. You see, despite all the dramatic and bigoted bullshit, most gay people are very forgiving with the hateful rhetoric, as they can see the forest for the trees and recognize a hate-mongering piece of shit for what it is. They can take the heat and have for decades, if not centuries and I respect that. A punk ass bitch like Santorum, well, he can’t handle any sort of heat because he is a soggy-bottomed thin-skinned piss midget that bitches, whines and cries when things don’t go his way. Well this is one of those times when that shit pigeon is going to have to sniffle like the sensitive little Tina that he is because I’m not going to be all that kind to him or to the fucking morons who casted votes in his favor. I mean seriously people, if you voted for Rick Santorum, I don’t care who you are, you are a goddamned scumbag and lower than a piece of dried up shit smeared across the belly of a cockroach crawling through a grease trap! There is a special place in Hell for all of you but realistically, Hell probably doesn’t exist so you’re going to get a free pass most likely.

Getting back to Ricky Baby, I have to mention that the nasty Bible-fucking bastard followed up three big wins on Super Tuesday with some big wins in the Deep South. Truthfully, the people of that region just proved that they are as dumb as the rest of the country thinks that they are. We would all probably benefit from a great flood in that region. I mean, spare the children, the dogs and the house cats but please wipe the rest of these people off of the face of the Earth, especially if they have a Santorum sign in front of their podunk rusty trailer. The planet would be so much better if the rest of the world didn’t have to live their lives affected by the decisions of these moronic rednecks and evangelical fear turtles. Rick Santorum’s success is proof that Americans are a mad breed of people. No, not mad as in angry but mad as in insane and ravenous! Like starving hyenas eating their own faces off because the lions have continually beaten them to the kill. To be fair, not all Americans are insane but a very big portion of them are, simply because of the fact that this guy is riding high in second place in this ridiculous Republican primary.

Now, I’ve written about this closeted cock-smuggler before but I’ve refrained from revealing the real evil stuff. I mean, this pompous pontificating pansy has done some really weird and dark shit and fuck it, I refuse to pull punches at this point because the people deserve to see the layers peeled back on this guy. Sure, the media has mentioned these things before but not at a mainstream level, except where it was to bash one of their own for putting one of these stories out there. The reason why they don’t bring this up is pretty obvious. First, the media lies and only reports on what they feel will help shape their agenda. With that being said, CNN and MSNBC don’t want this stuff out there because they would rather have a weakling cockpuppet like Santorum go against their messiah – Barack Obama in November. Fox News doesn’t want this stuff out there because they believe that Rick Santorum is actually a viable candidate and they have to protect him going into November, that is if you even remotely entertain the idea that this douche can win – unfortunately, this is still possible and nothing would surprise me at this point. Truth is, the man is sick and twisted and so is the mainstream media who have been incredibly irresponsible in not covering these horrific tales.

The first of these insane true stories may make your skin crawl, as it had a very disturbing effect on mine. Now Fox News’ own Alan Colmes reported on this and received a ton of heat from it by his colleagues and then, as quickly as this news surfaced, it was buried and shelved away. What I am referring to is an incident where Rick Santorum’s child died shortly after birth and he and his wife felt it was necessary to bring their corpse of a newborn home to show their living children. On one hand, this sounds insane, on the other hand, many people may be pissed at the mere mention of this, as they probably believe that people should be able to grieve and raise their kids in their own way. I get that argument, I do, but considering that Rick Santorum sees it necessary for the government to be in our bedrooms and in our lives, why should any of us respect his family’s privacy? Sure, this may seem like I am taking the low road but the fact of the matter is that this did indeed happen and it should be known, as this guy is running for the highest office in the land and as bewildering as it is to me, he could magically win the election – and I only say this because somehow he has gotten this far. Now I understand that the loss of a child is horrific and I’m not trying to make fun of the Santorum family or downplay the situation but these actions are strange and a little unsettling, if you can’t see why, you may need a mental examination.

However, it gets even weirder. Karen Santorum came out and talked about this incident and while I feel horrible about their loss, the next reveal really put the cherry on top of this insane sundae. She admitted that after showing the deceased infant to their living children, that she and her husband slept with it! I’m sorry, while the grieving process is hard and the loss of a child is by far one of the hardest things anyone could ever go through, this is just morbid and disturbing on so many levels. The most disturbing thing however, is how this family has often times told the story of their deceased child and their other child who has severe health issues in an effort to drum up sympathy and compassion from the voting public. They certainly don’t parade around the fact that they brought their dead child home, showed it to their children and slept with it but they do pull on the sympathy strings by continually mentioning their dead son and their daughter who nearly died and has continually had life-threatening medical problems.

Rick Santorum’s strange kid stories don’t stop there. He served on the board of directors of Universal Health Services, Inc., which is a hospital chain that was plagued with dozens of allegations of abuse during Santorum’s time on the board. These allegations include rape, neglect, patient suicides over bad care as well as murder. While all of those ghastly things are revolting and unacceptable, nothing may be more disturbing than the fact that one of these hospitals performed an exorcism on a boy suffering from autism! Hell, here is what the Huffington Post had to say about it:

Over the years, states have barred children from attending UHS facilities over safety concerns and the feds have put UHS on their radar. Department of Justice lawyers have filed two lawsuits accusing the chain of fraudulent activities. One lawsuit settled for $27.5 million. Another suit still pending in federal court in Virginia centers on a facility called Keystone Marion Youth Center.

The facility, located in Marion, Va., is a residential treatment center for troubled boys with mental-health issues. The majority of patients come from states’ child-welfare and juvenile-justice systems. The center promises stability, schooling, and clinically-approved therapies. It was also approved to accept Medicaid patients.

It did not have approval to perform an “exorcism.”

But that is what appeared to be happening in an empty room at Marion in May 2007, according to a facility teacher who passed by the room, which was occupied by at least one nurse, a supervisor, a janitor and a boy with autism. Several in the room appeared to be hovering over the boy and praying, according to the teacher, who recounted the incident shortly after to Barbara Jones, the center’s director of education at the time.

The severity of the boy’s autism left him hardly able to speak and unable to walk on his own, Jones says.

“‘They were trying to exorcise him. That’s why he had the autism, he had a demon in him,’” Jones recounted what the teacher told her to The Huffington Post. “The cleaning lady was trying to cast out the demons.”

Santorum was one of the overseers of UHS when this happened. In fact, he’d still be there sitting high if he didn’t leave to focus on his campaign. Maybe this is an extreme example but with NDAA passed and the indefinite detention of American citizens now being a reality, who is to say that this self-righteous Jesus freak won’t round up those causing dissent in an attempt to exorcise them of their anti-Santorum “demons”. This article alone might make me a prime candidate for Mr. Santorum’s special brand of theocratic cleansing. The man is mad!

With UHS’s horrific track record, I’m sure that this isn’t just an isolated incident. Considering that children have been barred from their hospitals by those more competent than UHS’s medical staff, one has to wonder if every atrocity has made it to the light of day. I’m sure if one were to dig deeper, they would find much more. Besides, you can’t tell me that Rick Santorum wasn’t aware of all of this? Why hasn’t he come forward and condemned it? Is it because he sees nothing wrong with the actions of this vile institution that he helped manage at the highest level? Is he hoping that this story won’t see the light of day? Well, the conservative media won’t run it and maybe the liberal media is just holding off on pushing this story until the time comes for them to use it more effectively – like if Ricky Baby were to actually win the nomination.

In every sense of the word, the man is sick and if you are in denial about that, you are probably just as big of a wicked bastard. I don’t feel bad about sharing this, as he has no qualms about making our privacy transparent and outlawing certain activities that many of us do in our own homes behind closed doors. When he points the finger at everyone that doesn’t share his arcane beliefs and says that he intends to force us into his box, well it’s only fair for those of us he’s speaking to to point back at him and let him know that he’s a sick fuck in his own way and he is not holier than thou. Besides, he is running for office and under a microscope – that was his choice by choosing to ride this train. Think what you will about any of this. Sure, I interjected my opinion throughout this piece but the fact that many will find it offensive, either because of Santorum’s actions or because of my reveal on things in his personal life, has proven that it is relevant and that it is necessary to see the light of day, even though you can argue against that point until you are blue in the face. The fact is, the American public has a right to know all of this and to think otherwise is ignorant and careless.

The point is, this man must not be allowed to get the Republican nomination and certainly not the chair in the Oval Office. Mitt Romney and Barack Obama are both bastards in their own right but Rick Santorum is a Bible-carrying beast that wants to breed a culture of big government religio-fascism the likes of which we’ve never seen before in this country. The blood is on all of our hands if he succeeds.

While I was driving back home from the 2012 Libertarian Party of Florida Convention and Presidential Debate in Orlando, the rest of the country (or just those few who care) were watching the results of the Maine caucuses. It was a toss up as to who would win between Ron Paul, who had been campaigning there for weeks, or New England’s favorite Michigan-born son, Mitt Romney. Despite the projected performances, I found myself pretty much scared shitless that Rick Santorum would help display the insanity of many conservative Americans once again and run away with another state. Thank God that his streak of three was ended this past Saturday. Although he finished third, he only walked away with three delegates. Gingrich laughably walked away with nothing, as once again, he fell flat on his face in another state. If Newt hadn’t won South Carolina a few weeks ago, racking up twenty-three of those twenty-five delegates, he’d be out of this race. He’s still in second place however but Santorum is only one delegate behind him after the last four states and Ron Paul is still on everyone’s heels. It’s a very close race for second place but in all honesty, after a few more states, Newt should be in last and on his way out – leaving Paul and Santorum to battle it out in the delegate race to catch up to Romney.

So where does that leave the top half of the field in Maine? Well, the finish was quite controversial actually. The official announcement is that Romney won Maine with less than 200 votes over Ron Paul. The race was incredibly close and in essence was a virtual tie. I mean, when Romney won Iowa and then it was announced that Santorum had in fact won the state, Ol’ Mittens himself called it “a tie”. So with Paul being so close to Romney, I am calling it “a tie”. Unfortunately though, Romney walked away with nine delegates to Paul’s seven. So why is this controversial?

Well, I don’t think that there is a single state so far that hasn’t been suspected of voter fraud. I’m not trying to stir the pot here but the validity of these primary elections has come into question at every stop on the 2012 campaign trail. Oddly, almost every time that eyebrows are raised, Romney seems to be the benefactor. In Iowa, votes were lost or missing and Mitt just edged out Ricky Boy. In the end, the votes magically re-appeared and Santorum got the win. In New Hampshire, zombies were found voting, as many dead people casted votes for Mr. Romney. Mittens won that state. There were claims that the dead voted in South Carolina and in Florida; Romney won the latter. Nevada was also suspected of voter fraud, which got a lot of publicity last week from various news sites. Who won Nevada? Well, it was Romney. Follwoing Nevada was the trifecta win of Rick Santorum in Missouri, Minnesota and Colorado. I’m of the firm belief that if Santorum won, there has to be foul play involved – I mean, people aren’t THAT crazy, right? Maybe those steering this suspected corruption decided to throw the guy a bone, as it couldn’t really hurt Mitt in the long run and they didn’t want their tinkering to be obvious. Besides, Santorum rising up amongst the ranks, only makes Romney a stronger candidate as Santorum scares the everliving crap out of anyone that isn’t a creepy bastard like the fascist big government Bible thumper himself.

Following the announcement of Romney’s victory, many Paul supporters were upset. Some were heard shouting “Liar!” while others shouted “How many dead voted?!” It was a grim display and Paul supporters had a right to be pissed off based off of the fact that the road to the White House has been littered with what appears to be some very serious attempts and successes at electoral corruption. In fact, it was pointed out that the caucuses in several counties were shut down and not counted. Washington County, a place were Paul was projected to do extremely well, was one of the counties whose votes weren’t counted. Paul campaign chairman Jesse Benton suggested that the Romney people were instrumental in the cancellation of certain caucuses. Benton said:

It’s not completely insidious, but they knew we were going to swamp it up there.

According to Politico:

The state GOP said that the caucuses were cancelled due to inclement weather.

Also worth noting is that there are 505 municipalities in Maine and just 420 have caucused thus far. So there are nearly 20 percent who haven’t even voted yet! Yet, Mr. Romney has been declared the winner with less than 200 votes over Paul! The fish in Maine are stinking like something gross and unnatural right now.

After Maine was awarded to Romney, Paul’s campaign manager John Tate sent out an email where he trashed the mainstream media for jumping the gun and announcing Mitt Romney as the winner when only 84 percent of the vote had been counted and there were only 194 votes separating the two men. Tate wrote:

The national political establishment and their pals in the national media will do ‘anything’ to silence our message of liberty. Tonight you saw dueling examples of how much the establishment is scared of Ron Paul and his message of liberty. The truth is, Ron Paul will win the most delegates out of Maine tonight. In fact, he will probably even win the ‘beauty contest’ Straw Poll the media has already called for Mitt Romney – even before all the votes have been tallied. In Washington County – where Ron Paul was incredibly strong – the caucus was delayed until next week just so the votes wouldn’t be reported by the national media today. Of course, their excuse for the delay was ‘snow.’ That’s right. A prediction of 3-4 inches – that turned into nothing more than a dusting – was enough for a local GOP official to postpone the caucuses just so the results wouldn’t be reported tonight. In fact, if you were watching one major network, they cut off their telecast of Ron Paul’s speech right when he began mentioning this fact.

Tate was referring to MSNBC cutting off Dr. Paul in the middle of his post-Maine speech. Tate’s email continued:

This is MAINE we’re talking about. The GIRL SCOUTS had an event today in Washington County that wasn’t cancelled! And just the votes of Washington County would have been enough to put us over the top. This is an outrage. The truth is, there is no length to which the GOP establishment won’t go. There is nothing the mainstream media won’t do.

Take all that for what you will but Mr. Tate makes some solid points. The fact of the matter is that the GOP and the mainstream media are going to continue to use their dirty tricks to push this man out of the race and whether you are a Paul supporter or not, that alone should sicken you. The choice of who to elect should be ours and ours alone. It shouldn’t be dictated to us and a winner certainly shouldn’t be announced under these sketchy circumstances. Yet, somehow, these crooked bastards continue to get away with their shenanigans time and time again! How much longer do we have to wait before the Internet overtakes television and the mainstream media’s establishment propaganda is swallowed up by the truth brought forth from the ever-growing alternative media industry? The time is coming but it will be too late this election. If only we could rely on people to educate themselves and not wholeheartedly sponge-up the misinformation being poured into them daily. If we truly are a nation of sheep, it’s time to steer the herd over the cliff because there is no saving us. However, if we are a nation of free thinkers that can make our own decisions and embrace personal responsibility, we might just have something left to keep fighting for. Either way, this is all coming to a head quite rapidly. It was Bob Dylan who said, “The times they are a changin’.”

Ron Paul’s full uncut speech after Maine announcement:

*Written by Rob Rimes.

I am certainly not happy with the results of the Florida primary. My home state and current place of residence was a big disappointment for those of us that are educated enough to understand what true freedom really entails. For those living in a black hole, Mitt Romney won with almost a majority vote, Gingrich came in second with Santorum in third and Paul in fourth. It just goes to show where the heads of most Floridians are at, which isn’t a good place. Luckily for me, I was at a friend’s house watching this on CNN because if I had been watching Fox News, I probably would’ve broke my TV due to all the blatant Romney love going on over there. At least the mostly liberal CNN crew didn’t seem to have much of an emotional investment in this nickel ‘n dime kabuki theater. So with Romney running through Florida like Wilt Chamberlain’s cock, we’re all left with a little something sticky on our faces – if you know what I mean?

The problem with this godforsaken state is that to the victor go the spoils and in this case, ALL the spoils. Second place doesn’t get you dick in Florida. Shit, I’m talking an awful lot about male genitalia. Anyway, there are 50 delegates in the State of Florida. If you win the primary, you get them all. In other states, delegates are handed out based off of a candidate’s performance. So second, third and even fourth place can walk away with some delegates and make out okay. This fucked up way of doing business is a major problem and it also gives the winner, in this case Mr. Romney, an unfair advantage. Let me give you the rundown of how this has worked out in other states compared to Florida.

In Iowa, Rick Santorum won with Romney in a very close second and Paul in a fairly close third. All three men got 7 delegates and Newt Gingrich walked away with 2. There are also 3 undeclared delegates based off of Rick Perry dropping out of the race. You see, even though Santorum won, he has the same amount as Romney and Paul. In reality, Iowa was virtually a three-way tie. Now New Hampshire was won by Romney who walked away with 7 delegates followed by Paul with 3. There are 2 undeclared delegates due to Huntsman finishing third and dropping out right after. South Carolina is almost as stupid as Florida, as Gingrich won and got 23 delegates while Romney, who was in second, only got 2. Santorum and Paul didn’t get crap for their efforts. In Florida however, Romney got 50 delegates and that’s all she wrote; everyone else got dicked. So after Florida, the delegate tally is as follows: Romney has 85, Gingrich has 27, Paul has 10 and Santorum has 7. Essentially, any of the candidates could’ve ignored the three previous states and pushed hard in Florida over the last month and walked away being first place nationally just by winning this one state. Florida, at this stage of the game, takes every candidate but the winner out of the hunt, at least that’s what it looks like to the casual viewer.

There are 46 more states and even though the Florida winner is light-years ahead of the competition at this point, the road is still going to be a long one. I don’t think that anyone can really be written off until Super Tuesday comes and goes. Besides that, some of the biggest states haven’t even voted yet. The guy that is able to capture either California or Texas or both, is going to be the big kahuna in this race, as far as I’m concerned. Considering Paul is loved in Cali, where he wins straw poll after straw poll, and that he is from Texas, he could very well earn a fuckload of delegates from these two states. With him getting the jump on the competition by campaigning everywhere that isn’t Florida, Paul may pull some power moves that shift this thing in his favor.

The reason Paul wasn’t campaigning in Florida is because of their “winner takes all” delegate system. Since he was pretty sure he wouldn’t get first place, he decided to go elsewhere, where he could actually walk away with delegates. This is unfortunate, as I, a Paul supporter and Floridian, wanted nothing more than to go to an event, see my guy and yell “End the Fed!” at the top of lungs. I never got the opportunity to do this though because my state has a stupid fucking rule that needs to be abolished immediately. I mean, how can Florida expect candidates to give a shit about the state if you aren’t going to throw them a bone even if they don’t come in first in this demographically diverse melting pot of sheep who vote for the candidate with the best hair and fanciest lapel pin?

I shouldn’t be surprised by the shitty Florida result. Our Tea Parties are full of Romney and Gingrich supporters who scream about liberty and hand out free pocket Constitutions. Truth is, they have never apparently read one or tried to really understand it. If they took that leap and really grasped what was written within the pages of those little books they give away like Halloween candy, Ron Paul would’ve crushed Florida. As I have stated before, too many people treat the Constitution like the Holy Bible and only pay attention to the parts that benefit them. Conservatism is like Christianity, as it is just jam packed with so many denominations that you can’t even define what it truly is anymore. I guess in Florida, the most common form of conservatism is the kind that is weak, scared and full of shit. I guess my fellow Floridians support war and wasteful spending; that’s what their votes are telling me.

In the end, if this trend continues into the other states, Obama will win the race and be re-elected for four more years. Ultimately, as much as it pains me to say, I don’t see this going any other way. There is that part of me though that refuses to give up and will continue to support Ron Paul till my last breath, even if the people continue to vote the other way. The establishment status quo just isn’t working folks but you sure as hell keep voting for it. Just do us all a favor and stop complaining, especially since you are the root of the fucking problem.

I’m still hungover from the South Carolina results, then again seven big cans of Foster’s Premium Ale before bed last night might be a contributing factor in how I’m feeling right now. Regardless, I’m still pretty pissed off about the stupidity of 87 percent of South Carolinians and am hoping that Florida, my home state, gives us some better results. Unfortunately, Gingrich is killing it in the polls right now but at least Rick Santorum is in last place and not Ron Paul. However, as with all these pivotal stops on the campaign trail, the numbers will shift and things will change. I just hope that my state shows Ron Paul as much love as New Hampshire did. Where I live locally, I have seen more Paul signs than any other candidate, especially in front of big local businesses. A well-known seafood joint in town has huge Paul banners in front of it and since it is on a major road and probably feeds over a thousand people per week, hopefully these loyal regulars will jump on board. Then again, my pocket of Florida certainly doesn’t represent the whole state and I do know that some of the local Tea Party leaders are endorsing everyone but Paul. That just goes to show how shit the whole Tea Party thing has become, at least in Southwest Florida.

Apparently the Paul fans are out in droves, which is always a good thing if you actually love liberty. Just yesterday they bumrushed a Rick Santorum event in Coral Springs, turning it into a sign waving war. Why anyone would want to go to a Santorum event other than to antagonize him is beyond me. The Daily Caller did a good job of covering the event, as most of the mainstream media ignored it. In their story, they quoted a Paul supporter who said, “I would have stayed in the same spot if it wasn’t for people coming up right in front of me and putting their signs in front of me. I wasn’t really going for anything specific. I just wanted to vocalize and say — ’cause I knew there would be other conservative here — I wanted to make sure they knew that Ron Paul was still in the running.” One of the seven irritated Santorum supporters interrupted the interview and said exactly what you’d think an uneducated Bible-thumping Santorum supporter would say, “(Ron Paul supporters) are usually known as being somewhat on the fringe, a little bit on the nutty side just like Ron Paul himself.” Wow, what a jab! What is this, 2008?! The only reason a Santorum fan can call Ron Paul nuts is because you’d have to be certifiably insane to be behind Santorum. Santorumites are like crazies locked up in the asylum trying to convince the doctors that they’re the ones who are nuts.

Mitt Romney, who lost some steam after Iowans re-tallied their votes and took away his victory and after losing to Gingrich in South Carolina, came out and suggested that Newt Gingrich was a criminal. Now considering that Newt has been all over Mitt regarding the whole lame ass Bain Capital issue, it is only natural for Romney to put Gingrich on blast for his involvement with Freddie Mac, who caused the housing crisis. With the media saying that unemployment and immigration will be the big issues for Florida, Mitt’s pushing of the Newt-Freddie Mac alliance could shift the discussion towards the bursting of the housing bubble. Since Florida was one of the biggest states hit by the crisis, tapping into this issue right now might prove successful for Romney and detrimental for Gingrich. Then again, both of the weasily bastards have been so dastardly the last few weeks that this all may just backfire. It could blow up in Romney’s face or it could just turn into pointless bickering between the two and open the door for Ron Paul (fingers crossed). With Gingrich pressing the issue about Romney not releasing his tax info, Romney returning and asking Gingrich to release the info on his dealings with Freddie Mac is completely justified, in my honest opinion. In the end, Gingrich can’t run and hide from this if he is accusing Romney of the same thing. Now if Newt does drop the info and there is nothing incriminating, Mitt will have to release his tax info or face extreme scrutiny from the other candidates and the media, which will in turn bring a strong level of distrust in the voter. Politics is a fucking game and these guys are taking some pretty big risks but it’s crunch time! Truthfully, I don’t trust either of them as far as I could kick them.

Now Ron Paul has come under some scrutiny, which is understandable, about not being in Florida on the night when the primary is decided. I find it disheartening to a degree that the guy I’ve supported and donated a lot of money to won’t be on hand, somewhere in the Sunshine State, to give another fabulous post-primary speech but when looking at how Florida operates, I don’t really disagree with Paul’s decision. First of all, it is incredibly expensive to run a statewide campaign in Florida without a real payoff unless you finish first. You see, Florida has the strange rule where the “winner takes all” in regards to delegates. Basically, if you come in second, even if you are just a few votes behind, you are awarded zero delegates! It’s a pretty fucked up way of doing business in my opinion. Also, Florida is the first state on this journey that has closed primaries. Therefore, only Republicans can vote in the primary. Unlike Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, Ron Paul can’t pull in the votes he’d get from either independents or Democrats who may be sick of Obama. In all honesty, this is the only reason why my voter registration card says “REP” on it. In a few weeks, I’m switching it back to the Libertarian Party. The bright side of this situation is that Paul will indeed increase the amount of votes he got in the state just four years ago. In 2008, he only walked away with 3 percent of the votes in Florida. As with all the other states that have voted thus far, it can pretty much be expected that Ron Paul’s numbers will multiply significantly and in the end, this race is about the message. As long as Paul stays in the hunt, the message will grow.

As with every stop on the campaign trail, Florida will be really interesting to watch. I hope my state does the right thing and votes for the guy who truly represents what conservatism is supposed to be about. Most likely the state will hand their delegates over to Gingrich or Romney. I just hope my guy gets a strong finish in second but will probably wind up in third place. If Paul ends up getting in the fourth and final spot, not only is this country doomed but his chances of recovering will be incredibly hard. If Florida fails, Paul’s best chance at shocking the world will come on Super Tuesday in March.

Yet more evidence of voter fraud has emerged, this time in the wake of Saturday’s primary in South Carolina, where it was reported that at least 953 votes had been cast by people who were listed as dead.

The Associated Press reports that South Carolina’s attorney general, Alan Wilson, has notified the U.S. Justice Department of potential voter fraud in the Palmetto State this weekend.

“In a letter dated Thursday, Wilson says the analysis found 953 ballots cast by voters listed as dead. In 71 percent of those cases, ballots were cast between two months and 76 months after the people died. That means they ‘voted’ up to 6 1/3 years after their death.”

Wilson has asked the State Law Enforcement Division to investigate the situation.

In addition to stories that have emerged from both Iowa and New Hampshire in the past few days, the revelations once again suggest that voter fraud has become a common occurrence throughout the country.

The same situation occurred last week in New Hampshire, where the State attorney general also raised questions over possible voter fraud.

The Union Leader reported that activists obtained ballots as dead people because they weren’t ID’ed.

One activist posted video of himself walking into New Hampshire Polling locations during the Presidential Primaries, and asking for the ballots of deceased residents. The man had obtained the names from local obituaries.

“The names of the deceased were both Registered Republican and Democrats And in almost every case, saying a dead person’s name, we were handed a ballot to cast a vote.” wrote the activist on his Youtube channel.

None of the allegedly fraudulently obtained ballots was actually cast.

Watch the video:

Associate Attorney General Richard Head confirmed his office had learned about the possible fraud on election day and immediately began investigating. “That investigation is ongoing,” he said. “Based on the information received on Election Day and the information on the video, we are undertaking a comprehensive review of voting procedures with the Secretary of State,” the report states.

In Iowa, the results of the January 3rd Caucus have been completely glossed over, despite major questions arising from the vote.

Following the declaration of Mitt Romney as the winner, GOP officials in Iowa recounted the votes and changed the decision, naming Rick Santorum as the victor. However, votes from at least two precincts were lost in the process, and the tallying wasn’t even properly certified.

Both Mitt Romney’s and Rick Santorum’s vote tallies were altered, but no mention was made whatsoever of Ron Paul’s total, despite the fact that he finished a close third, in what was essentially a three way tie.

During the caucus, multiple accounts emerged from voters in different precincts suggesting that the number of votes did not correspond to the number of Iowans they had counted at the polling station. In addition, for the first time ever, the Iowa GOP decided to change the final vote count to a “Secret location”, citing non specific security concerns.

In total, eight different precincts in Iowa showed signs of fraud that included missing votes and stories that changed every time someone challenged them. Writer Jeffrey Phelps points out that the official caucus website in Iowa publicly states that the caucus results can never be officially certified.

Returning to South Carolina, another story emerged over the weekend that has potential vote fraud implications.

As South Carolina reporter Brandon Turbeville reports, Sevier Precinct President Christopher S. Lawton “noticed a series of situations that were either in direct opposition to State voting laws, or, at the very least, highly questionable.”

Lawton arrived at the Pickens County elections office to witness the vote certification in person, as per State law, but was told he could only witness the tabulation on a projector in the council chambers, not in the room where the actual counting was taking place.

“[They were] very unfriendly and appeared agitated at my presence. When I got my wits I went back and declared State law allowed me to witness all aspects of this process. I was told there was little space and [to] stand out of the way and not be talking on the phone.” Lawton stated.

When Lawton noticed that hundreds of votes had already been added to candidates names before official counting had started, he was told that the votes had been brought in early in the morning, when no one was watching.

Eventually, after witnessing several more anomalies, confusing situations concerning voting machines, and drawing attention to broken security seals on ballot boxes and Mr. Lawton was asked to leave the secured counting room.

I’d hate to knock a whole state but man, what the fuck was South Carolina thinking? After a few debates and weeks of campaigning, the Palmetto State finally held their presidential primaries. After the smoke cleared, the sinister grin of Newt Gingrich was all anyone could see. The scariest part about all this is that South Carolina has a history of picking presidential candidates. Since 1980, the results of the South Carolina primaries have been game changing. In 1980 the winner was Reagan, who went on to win the presidency. In 1988 it was Bush I, who also won the presidency. In 1996 it was Bob Dole, who won the nomination but ultimately lost to Bill Clinton. In 2000 it was Bush II, who won the presidency. In 2008 it was McCain, who won the nomination but lost to Obama. So if history is any indicator, Gingrich will be the Republican nominee to go head-to-head with Barack Obama this fall. Then again, there’s a first time for everything and chances are, this is just some ridiculous coincidence.

Before we got to Iowa, we were told how important it was. We were also told the same thing about New Hampshire. Initially, Mitt Romney won both those states but after those genius Iowans realized that they forgot how to count right, they declared Rick Santorum the winner, thus solidifying his position as the frontrunner. But wait, Mitt won New Hampshire, which we were told made him the frontrunner. Now Newt has won South Carolina and we’re told that means he’ll be the nominee. Man, all this bullshit is confusing. I mean, how can you say that any of these men are the frontrunner? Each one has only won one state out of fifty and there are forty-seven that still have to vote. The problem is, all this rhetoric is just media hype – trying to shape the public opinion while capitalizing on weekly ratings spikes. Right now, this race is anyone’s game, except for Santorum because even if he did win the nomination, he’d get slaughtered by Obama. The truth is, South Carolina will eventually be wrong. You can buy into this weird Palmetto State and media hyped superstition all you want but statistically the tide will eventually turn.

So Newt Gingrich won South Carolina (40 percent), Mitt Romney got second (28 percent), Rick Santorum got third (17 percent) and in what is a showing of how unintelligent South Carolinians are – Ron Paul got fourth place (13 percent). The results of this primary prove unequivocally that South Carolina is for statists. Then again, looking at this primary situation as a whole, maybe something odd is going on. Now it is no secret that I am a Ron Paul guy and truthfully, I don’t want to come off as a sore loser. In fact, I have been of the belief that Mitt Romney was going to win this thing since before anyone even announced their bid last year. The problem is, Paul has gotten the shaft so far and based off of everything I’ve seen, it’s hard to understand why. Let me explain in more detail.

To start, Ron Paul was favored to win Iowa going into their archaic caucuses but to everyone’s surprise and shock, Rick Santorum rose from his bottomless pit and took the state by storm. Santorum, who had used up all of his resources in that state, still hadn’t made enough of an impact to even put a dent in Iowa. However, when the votes were tallied and then tallied again because the state admittedly fucked up, Santorum was the winner. Romney was in second and the projected favorite, Dr. Paul, was in third ahead of Gingrich and Perry. How did Santorum, an almost unknown candidate with no real support, win Iowa? Between the ballots being collected and counted at a secret location behind closed doors as well as the fact that there was already alleged fraud with the “dead voters” and the fact that they changed their results two weeks later makes this whole process look sketchy. I’m not saying that Paul won the state but shit just doesn’t add up.

In New Hampshire, Mitt Romney was the hands down favorite and in the end, he came through and won the state with Ron Paul not too far behind in second place. Huntsman won third place and then dropped out to support Romney. Gingrich and Santorum were both at the bottom with Rick Perry who dropped out not to long after these results. Thankfully, Santorum was knocked back down to Earth and Newt Gingrich had two bad finishes in a row. Leaving New Hampshire, Mitt Romney was the frontrunner with Ron Paul right on his heels. It had become a two-man race and frankly, I still believe it is, regardless of South Carolina’s results. However, let’s look at that situation.

The South Carolina portion of this journey is also pretty odd. In the first debate in Myrtle Beach, rude South Carolinians were booing Ron Paul and his explanation of the “golden rule”. Oh, how very Christian of them! The second debate in Charleston was quite different however. The other three candidates, as well as the media, tried to limit Dr. Paul’s time and when this was apparent, the crowd went apeshit and booed for Paul to have a chance to answer some of the questions that they weren’t giving him. If anything, this gave Paul supporters some hope that the game was changing in the Palmetto State. The tip of the iceberg came when each of Dr. Paul’s events in the state were packed full of thousands of enthusiastic supporters. No other candidate traveling the state could compete with the level of love Paul was generating. Elsewhere, just a day before the primary results in South Carolina, Newt Gingrich had to cancel an event due to complete lack of interest. In fact, here’s what was reported in the Associated Press:

Newt Gingrich has cancelled a campaign appearance in South Carolina because of poor attendance.

The Republican presidential candidate was scheduled to speak to the Southern Republican Leadership on Friday. But a campaign spokesman told reporters that he would no longer be appearing due to poor attendance.

There were just a few dozen people in the audience at the College of Charleston’s arena, where the event was taking place.

The weird thing about this is that primary elections are typically decided by the enthusiasm as of a candidate’s supporters, as most people don’t even bother voting in primaries. The fact of the matter is, Ron Paul has the most enthusiastic supporters of any candidate I’ve ever seen in my lifetime. Theoretically, he should be killing these primaries, especially against douchenuggets like Rick Santorum. Yet somehow, this enthusiasm doesn’t seem to be enough to really tip the scales. However, how do people like Gingrich and Santorum, who have little to no enthusiastic support, keep on getting these life-preservers thrown to them to keep them afloat? Who’s throwing the life-preservers and where are they getting them from?

Is there a conspiracy? Who knows? You have to admit that this is all strange though. The truth is, even though Paul finished last in South Carolina and all his critics are pushing for him to exit the race, it doesn’t really change the fact that in his loss he still had some success. As he said in his speech after the primary, his campaign racked up four-to-five times more votes in South Carolina than they did just four years prior. So in that short time, Ron Paul’s message has grown 400-500 percent! The real reason why he is running is to promote the message of freedom and liberty and even though he finished last, the fact that the message has grown so much is a huge success! It’s not just in South Carolina however, Ron Paul’s message is growing at an alarming rate everywhere he goes. He might not have won any states yet but he has opened the eyes of more and more people and in the end, even if he doesn’t get the nomination, people will be more aware and more vigilant. Hell, the door for Rand Paul might be opened pretty wide come 2016 or 2020.

Well, at least 13 percent of South Carolinians are okay in my book. The other 87 percent just voted for statists however and as far as I am concerned, they probably shouldn’t bitch about Obama so much when the person they voted for isn’t too far from being of the same progressive mold. Hell, if they checked the box next to “Rick Santorum”, their vote went to someone worse than our current king. It’s funny though, these Christian South Carolinians have picked their choice for president and it is a man who cheated on his first wife with his second wife who he cheated on with his third wife and then used the daughters of his first wife to convince the world that his second wife was lying about his third wife. That may have been a hard sentence to follow but Newt’s dick is a tricky motherfucker and getting his kids to lie for it is even worse. Considering this is so confusing may have just caused the South Carolinians to shut down and throw their vote away. I mean, if Miss South Carolina 2007 is any indicator of the best the state has to offer, they’re all screwed in that state.

Here’s a refresher, in case you forgot about Miss South Carolina:

Dumb as fuck.

Last night was full of a lot of fanfare, quick results and mainstream media bullshit. I sat in front of my television sipping on a bottle of Cheerwine and munching on a McChicken just as Megyn Kelly and Bret Baier popped up on the screen at the 8 o’clock hour to announce that they already had the winner with only 11 percent of the precincts voting. This was quite refreshing considering the Iowa fiasco went on into the wee hours of the morning just a week prior; plus the results of Iowa left a lot to be desired.

I’m pretty pleased with the finish in New Hampshire however. Granted Mitt Romney won but that was to be expected. One does have to give Mr. Romney some props though, as he is the first person since 1976 to win both Iowa and New Hampshire. While Mr. Romney has made history in his own way, another man has also made history and that man is Ron Paul. The fact that Dr. Paul finished in second place, quite convincingly mind you, just proves that the message of liberty is growing and people are coming out in droves in support of it regardless of how hard the mainstream media devils and the establish Republican ass clowns try to discredit and write the man off. The other big performer was Jon Huntsman, who did really well, as I thought he would, but probably won’t go much further passed New Hampshire. That is kind of unfortunate, as Huntsman like Ron Paul is quite different from the other candidates in this race.

The field was rounded out by Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum battling it out for an insignificant fourth place while the King of Texas Rick Perry only got 0.7 percent! That’s right, out of the entire state of New Hampshire, Governor Perry only racked up 1,762 votes against Romney’s 97,339 and Paul’s 56,601! I know Perry is holding on because he expects to do well in South Carolina but goddamn his performance was atrocious! Even if Perry can bounce back somewhat in the Palmetto State, he is a dead man walking right now as far as the race to the White House goes. Even if he can convince some of my fellow Floridians to throw him some votes in a few weeks, it still won’t matter. Rick Perry is a dingy without an oar in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

Even better than Rick Perry’s fall from golden boy grace is the fact that Rick Santorum’s short stint of relevance didn’t make it past Iowa. Now I am not sure if he edged out Newt for fourth place or not, I could actually give a shit. However, unlike Newt, Ricky Boy has shown that even though he can inspire religio-fascist nutjobs and raise a shit ton of money after a good showing in a state with more corn than people, he is out of gas. Even that corn ethanol crap can’t help him now. Sure, he may do decent in South Carolina but he has no longevity and after New Hampshire it is pretty certain that our favorite dork dick will soon be out of the hunt – officially. It was fun while it lasted but Icarus has finally gotten too close to the sun and there is no one left to throw him a parachute or set up a safety net.

Newt Gingrich isn’t in the same boat as Rick Santorum however. He’s struggling, that much is certain, but Newt still possesses those honey badger characteristics that could propel him to the front of the pack once again. Do I think that will happen? Probably not but one thing I have learned from this presidential race is that you can’t count Newt out until he’s out and I don’t see homeboy leaving just quite yet. Newt is a threat to everyone in this race despite a few bad performances at the last few debates. Keep in mind that not doing well at a debate isn’t usually Newt’s modus operandi and if he gets his shit straight, he could surge again. I’d prefer that he didn’t but Newt has fire unlike most of the candidates and is able to talk his way out of nearly anything.. most of the time. And whether you agree with the guy or not, watching him debate Barack Obama would be awesome. Hell, I’d pay big money to watch them duke it out on pay-per-view.

As I’ve said, Huntsman did well but probably won’t make it much further than New Hampshire. I’d like to see this guy continue to do well as he offers a significant contrast to what the GOP is offering this election cycle and apart from Dr. Paul, he is the only guy worth a shit that is still waving the Republican banner. The only real hope for Huntsman is that he has to turn it up in the upcoming debates. He did fantastic in both of the New Hampshire debates and as long as he can keep the momentum he’s started to build, he may make it all the way to the final three. In the beginning of this race, he sucked at debates. Over time he has become much better, earned my respect and found the footing he just didn’t have six months ago. The fact that he is different than Mitt, Newt and the two Ricks is also going to be a major factor that determines if he will have ongoing success. Jon Huntsman must capitalize on this hard-earned winning streak and just like the gigantic spider that shares his surname, he has to trap these other candidates in a web, immobilize them and devour them. Huntsman, like Paul, will change the rhetoric if he can outlast Rick One, Rick Two and Newt. The ball is in Huntsman’s court and all he has to do is take the shot. The only real hinderance he may face at this point is his financing. Unfortunately, he doesn’t have the resources that some of the other candidates do.

Mitt Romney didn’t really surprise anyone with his victory. New Hampshire has been in his back pocket for years and really, even though he won, he didn’t do it in a way that was impressive or decisive. Yes, he did win both New Hampshire and Iowa, which is a huge feat but he just barely edged out Santorum in Iowa and he didn’t really dominate in New Hampshire like he should have considering his ties to the state. Romney is certifiably the frontrunner at this stage but he is unable to garner the enthusiastic support of someone like Ron Paul. In the end, Paul’s support could grow and really hurt Romney. As other candidates start to drop like flies, where are their supporters going to go? I think it will be split as you have one school of thought that is desperately looking for the anti-Romney and another school of thought that will jump on his bandwagon because they are scared shitless of the truth and common sense that Ron Paul brings to the presidential race. Regardless of what happens, Ron Paul will most assuredly get the youth vote and with the number of independents and those dissatisfied with the Republican Party growing daily, Mitt Romney could be in for a fate he just can’t envision for himself.

The real story of the New Hampshire primary is that this is really now a two-man race and because of that, the rhetoric will in fact change. The moderators can continue to ask their dumb questions at debates but with Ron Paul not too far behind the mainstream media’s King of Conservatism, he will no longer get lost in the shuffle and be ignored. Dr. Paul will get his time to speak and when challenging Mitt Romney, will expose his statist progressive nature and potentially open the eyes of many more people. Mitt needs to count his blessings and really sit down and figure out how he needs to change his approach to this big shit show now that the discussion is about to shift. The best thing that could happen for all of us is that Mitt could just brush it off and go about doing business the same way he has all along. If he does, he might be sitting at home in November cursing the fact that his name isn’t on the big ballot that really counts.

This is an uphill battle for Ron Paul, don’t get me wrong. The media will be on his ass harder than they have ever been and really, it has already started. Eric Bolling and Andrea Tantaros were on Fox Business’ ‘Follow the Money’ questioning Ron Paul as they always do. Tantaros actually said, “Everyone’s for smaller government, everyone’s for personal freedom and then you peel back the layer and start to see what that really means.” Oh my God, really? Idiot Bolling then cuts in and asks, “Why does he have to go ‘all in’ libertarian? Why does he have to have all of it? Can’t he say ‘smaller government, free markets, lower taxes but oh on that foreign policy I think that we really need Israel as an ally in the Middle East so I’ll keep funding that.’” The reason he doesn’t say that you fucktard is because he is not a hypocrite like all you Fox News buffoons and your GOP establishment heroes. Ron Paul stands for something and to those who stand for nothing, he is just too puzzling. They can’t make sense out of it because they are deep in this bullshit game and Ron Paul is soaring above it.

Another Fox News contributor Stephen Hayes had to immediately point out that Ron Paul did so well because voter turnout in New Hampshire was “way down” compared to 2008. Actually it was down but not significantly. In 2008 there were 239,000 who voted and this year there were 228,000. That’s only 4.6 percent! When looking at how well Dr. Paul did in New Hampshire this year compared to 2008, this argument obviously holds no weight. In 2008, Ron Paul came in fifth place with 18,308 votes at 7.8 percent versus this year’s finish of second place with 56,601 votes at 22.8 percent. I don’t think that the 4.6 percent drop off of in voters this year from 2008 can explain Ron Paul’s 21 percent increase! These are the dirty tricks that the mainstream bastards like to play when they are trying to mold the minds of their viewers in an effort to manufacture the results that they desire.

Now they aren’t just bashing, attacking and spreading misinformation to discredit Paul’s success. They are also doing everything they can to pimp out Mitt Romney, as he is their only chance at capturing the White House throne. Tim Pawlenty, a punk bitch who was in this race but dropped out like the weak vanilla box of rotten assholes that he is, went on ‘Hannity’ last night and was sucking Mitt Romney’s dick so hard that it must’ve been as purple as Grimace this morning! T.Paw came on the television and was going on and on about how Mitt won Iowa and New Hampshire and how it has never been done before. Um.. excuse me dicknose? It has been done before, just not in a long time. Hell, Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford both did it in 1976. Granted Ford was an incumbent but it is not completely unheard of. Tim Pawlenty is just an establishment cockpuppet and he’s playing the game just as badly as the rest of them.

Another show of Mitt Romney support came directly from Sean Hannity, who continually says on every show that he hasn’t picked his candidate yet. Really Sean? When are you going to endorse your guy? After the primaries are over? I know I’ve said it elsewhere but if you are this deep into the presidential primaries and you don’t know who you are voting for, you’re a fucking idiot and a coward. Truth is, Hannity knows who his guy is and it isn’t hard for the rest of us to figure out. His pick is most assuredly Mitt Romney. For evidence supporting this, just go back and watch last night’s episode of ‘Hannity’ right after the primary. When Rick Perry came on, Hannity spent the entire interview lambasting him for being critical of Mitt Romney. Sean vehemently defended his butt buddy Mitt and did everything he could to discredit and interrupt Perry. Shit, I thought Hannity was that scumfuck O’Reilly for a second.

The media is out of control but being dictators to public opinion is their job and they’re damn good at it. No matter what they do and what they say can’t paint this stop on the campaign trail as anything other than a pivotal victory for those who support the Constitution. Ron Paul and everyone who supports him should be relishing in this win.. yes win! While everyone but the top three in this primary are being crushed by their heavy lies and giant skeletons, this race just got real and the big guns are coming out. As much as it is still an uphill battle for Dr. Paul, it is also an uphill battle for Romney. As of right now, these are the only two who even matter in this race anymore. The others aren’t dead but chances are very much in favor of them all getting gunned down in the oncoming Romney-Paul crossfire.

MANCHESTER, N.H. — Perhaps Rick Santorum should have gone straight from Des Moines to Charleston.

A week after his magical finish at the Iowa caucuses, Santorum crashed back to earth Tuesday night with a fifth-place finish in New Hampshire on Tuesday, raising questions about his staying power heading into South Carolina.

The paltry 9 percent he registered here sucks away much of the momentum he earned last week and raises the stakes for his campaign heading into the Palmetto State.

“We wanted to respect the process here. We wanted to respect the fact that we were going to campaign in every single state, states that were good for us, and states that may have been a little tougher,” Santorum said to a small gathering of supporters inside a restaurant ballroom.

Santorum’s decision to spend five days campaigning here — instead of bypassing it for South Carolina — is already being second-guessed as he now faces what’s close to a must-win situation in the first southern primary next Saturday.

“I think there was so little time betwween Iowa and New Hampshire, there was a feeling that maybe he could do OK. But by the time they realized he wasn’t in the top three, it was tougher to switch. Maybe he should’ve cut loose and gone to South Carolina, but it’s hard to know that at the time. It was a judgment they made,” said Jamie Burnett, a New Hampshire GOP consultant who is unaffiliated in the race.
