Bald-faced lie.
The Tea Parties, the people who protested Obamacare in Town Halls in August, who protested the porkulus...are all remnants of supporters of Paul’s campaign. The GOP and mainstream conservatives had nothing to do with it.

Don’t know about you, but the first tea party event early this year in Ft. Worth had absolutely nothing to do with Ron Paul...if it had, I wouldn’t have gone. As much sense as Ron Paul makes on some issues, he has the most goofball idea about the War on Terror...
There were Tea Parties held in 2007 during Paul's campaign.
Spontaneous rallies for Paul which picked up steam after the Iowa Straw Poll.
You're behind the times

It's not his foreign policy that people have been inspired by him on.
It's his straight-forward, black-and-white stand on limited government and civil liberties.
When was the last time you heard a Republican call for abolishing whole departments and agencies, as well as the income tax?
Same here. I went to the April 15th Tea Party in my little town and there were only 4-5 Paulites out of the 200+ that showed up. That was the first Tea Party here but far from the first around the country. Ron Paul and his followers had nothing to do with the Tea Party Movement other than joining in like everybody else. No person or group led it.
