Ron Paul Secures Key Victories in Missouri Caucus
« on: March 25, 2012, 08:15:58 PM »
For those who don't understand how a caucus works... *cough* Beach Bum *cough*

Remember how Santorum swept the non-binding straw poll there? Well...

http://www.thestatecolumn.com/articles/ron-paul-secures-key-victories-in-missouri-caucus/

In the St. Louis City Caucus held today, the 12-term Congressman from Texas won 36 delegates and 36 alternate delegates to both the 1st Congressional District and to the Republican State Convention, meaning Dr. Paul cleanly swept this consequential part of the statewide nominating contest. In total, Missouri’s 1st Congressional District has 103 delegates and Ron Paul won 36 of them as a result of winning the entire St. Louis City Caucus. For comparison sake, in the St. Louis City Caucus, Ron Paul received 158 votes and the next-closest vote recipient Rick Santorum garnered just 74 votes, or less than half.

The larger Jackson County caucus also occurred today. In the 5th Congressional District, Ron Paul won 63 delegates, won all 144 alternate delegates, won 105 delegates to the Republican state convention, and won 144 alternates to the state convention. In the 6th Congressional District, Dr. Paul swept all 39 delegates, won all 39 delegates to the state convention, and won 144 alternates to the state convention.

The countywide totals for Dr. Paul include 246 Congressional delegates, more than double Mitt Romney’s 120, and 360 alternate delegates for Ron Paul, a clean sweep in that regard.

Santorum and Newt Gingrich won zero Congressional delegates and alternate delegates in Jackson County.

Yawn.  I've given you enough information the past two days to educate you.  Whether you choose to take the blinders off is up to you.   :)

I believe it. Ive seen lots of people freak out or get sick when using weed.
Its can be pretty addictive to some as well, even though people generally dont believe it.
Its a sedative, so if using heavy everday for a long period of time, it can cause anxiety, inability to sleep, agression, shakes, etc.
When I when to alcohol/drug treatment, some of the worst guys to deal with were using weed, mostly because they were so irritable and they couldnt sleep, but they refused to believe that it was caused by their marijuana usage. Lol.
Its not as bad as other drugs, but it's there. Anything that affects your CNS will have an negative feedback response when you quit. (i.e. the opposite affect, Coming off uppers/stimulants will makes you CNS crash and slow down, coming off downers/deppressants will make you CNS speed way up.)

You would be the first person to ever believe it made me sick.  Everyone else I've said that to always thinks I'm bullshitting.  The last time I tried it, I thought I was gonna fucking die lol...  I was laying on the floor and having a very hard time breathing.  Fuck that, I do not do well with pot.  Others seem to have no problem so more power to them but that shit is not for me.

Sounds like a weed induced panic attack.  I have had them.  No fun at all.  So yes I 100% believe you.

And Shockwave..Yes weed is mentally addictive like cigs for the most part.  I know I was irritable for a couple of weeks when I quit smoking for 2.5 years.  Not that big of deal and I doubt anyone else noticed.  I am not a heavy smoker anyway.  2 or 3 hits and i am cool.  I have seen people try and quit smoking cigs and they are in full meltdown mode...lol. We are talking 333 on Obama's inauguration day meltdown.  ;D

This is pretty much like kicking a field goal after the opposing team has scored 7 touchdowns.
