 Posted: Tue Sep 02, 2008 10:36 pm Post subject: Ron Paul’s Counter Convention |
 |
|
Jesse Ventura was on CNN tonite (since McCain got mad and took his ball home   ) -- and he said that he spent the day at the Ron Paul Revolution meeting today in Minneapolis-- and that there was over 15,000 participants....Folks that can no longer buy into the neocon Republicanism- and their failure to support the rule of law and the Constitution- and are trying to start a Revolution to take back the party/country...
When asked why he was not supporting McCain or the traditional Republican party- his answer was "Because they say one thing- and then do the opposite"....
Ventura said that the actions of the Republicans tonight and the way they are treating Dr. Paul, reminds him of Hermann Goring described tactics...
I think Jesse has them figured out....

Ron Paul’s Counter Convention
CBSNews.com Reports: As Republicans Gathered At The RNC In Minnesota, The Faithful Rallied Around Their Own Saint Paul
MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 2, 2008
(CBS) This story was written by CBSNews.com political reporter Brian Montopoli.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was, Ron Paul allows, “a bit of a slight.”
Until this year, the longtime Texas Congressman and former presidential candidate has had no problem getting floor passes to the Republican National Convention. This time around, he said, all he could get was a “second class” pass. He was only allowed on the convention floor, he was told, with a chaperone; he could bring no staff with him; and when he left the hall, his credentials would be taken away.
As for a speaking slot - something traditionally offered to candidates who garnered support during the presidential primary - Paul said simply, “that wasn’t available to us.”
Not that Paul didn’t have other plans. On Tuesday, as Republican delegates gathered for the second night of the RNC in St. Paul, the Libertarian-leaning congressman was holding court at the Target Center in nearby Minneapolis, the 15,000-plus capacity home of the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Paul faithful had gathered in Minneapolis for the “Rally For The Republic,” an effort to call the GOP “back to its roots.”

So What you're saying Loomix is that you buy into "the parties" and McCains treatment of a Republican Congressman ( and one that got the most votes for President in our county- and 2nd in our state) because he won't go "Heil to der Furhrer" or support their warmongering fear tactics, they have to keep echoing since they have no other policy...
I suppose you- like the neocon cultist followers think Paul is a nonpatriot too....

But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger."

What I'm saying is that Jesse is a flake, and so are you. Since your gleeful attack on the young Palin girl, you have zero credibility, are worthy of no respect, and deserve to be treated accordingly.
Your hatred must know no bounds.

I don't remember any connection with the Posse or Kahl- and they were operating right in my area...Altho if I remember right, they both supported the gold standard- and oppose the power of the Federal Government...
Paul is a strong states rights supporter and backer of the rule of law and the Constitution- issues many believe the current Republican party has thrown out the door...
The only politician I can remember related to the radical right groups was Karl Ohl, who as Lt. Governor was the only person the Freemen would negotiate with...

McCain in talks with Ron Paul for backing
ST. PAUL, Minn. | The McCain campaign, acting through the Republican National Committee, has been negotiating with Rep. Ron Paul to win his support and acquire the names of his sympathizers among the 4,607 delegates and alternates at the Republican National Convention, according to a senior aide to the Texas congressman.
The aim is to try to win support for the John McCain-Sarah Palin ticket from Paul sympathizers, some of whom formally committed to Mr. Paul during his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination and others of whom are closet sympathizers of his libertarian brand of Republicanism.
Sen. McCain and national party strategists worry that Mr. Paul's sympathizers will vote for Bob Barr, the Libertarian Party candidate and former Republican congressman who shares many of Mr. Paul's views.
Mr. Paul has refused to endorse Mr. McCain, and Mr. McCain's operatives have refused to let him address the Republican National Convention.
As a result, Mr. Paul decided to hold a rally of his own Tuesday billed as the "Campaign for Liberty." Initially set to be held at the University of Minnesota's 11,000-seat Williams Arena, it has been moved to the far-larger Target Center in Minneapolis. Mr. Paul said in an interview that he expects to attract up to 18,000 people.

Doesn't take much reading of the link posted by VanC to see where some of these anti-USDA diatribes and other anti-government mantras are coming from...... thre are too many common threads linking many who post against "the status quo"......and it isn't a pretty picture!!!!!
