Not really news, but with Super Tuesday coming up, every hour of phone calls can make a huge impact on the campaign. Pass some time between refreshing!

you people worry about vote fraud too much. The people just don't support libertarianism... yet.

Whether it is happening or not, I think you have to worry about it. If no one is watching the watchers, things will get out of hand guaranteed.

No I think there's plenty of evidence of shadiness to warrant concern imo. I do agree that many people want big government and do not support liberty, but there are definite shenanigans going on.

Veterans for Ron Paul is having a march on the white house on Monday where they're going to march in formation and turn their backs on the white house. The military has issued warnings to active duty personnel telling them it's against their rules or some bull****, when it's not.
