Ron Paul Revolution in Tempe Arizona

Supporters of the Ron Paul Revolution were evangelizing out on the streets of Tempe this past weekend, while thousands were in town for the ASU vs. Washington Huskies game at Sun Devils Stadium. It started online and now it's moving into the physical world, I'm beginning to see this guy's name in more places and I'm recognizing someone is doing a hell of a job at getting the message out.

Earlier last week I authored a blog post about Chiropractors Voting for Ron Paul and there were quite a few comments posted. One comment came from a Life Chiropractic College student in Atlanta and it was suggested that there is a lot of excitement for Ron Paul at the Marietta chiropractic campus. Several days later I was visiting Cleveland Chiropractic College (which recently received some fresh paint) and I noticed banners hanging on the fences across the street from the school, displaying Ron Paul Revolution messages. A week later and I'm at Arizona State University in Tempe and there are college students marching the streets with Ron Paul banners, is this all just a coincidence or is there a real movement going on?

I was reminded why one should always travel with your digital camera because you never know when you'll need it. I was on my way back to a chiropractic conference at the Tempe Mission Palms when the group of Ron Paul supporters began approaching on 5th St. and S. Mill Ave, right in front of Hooters and The Library. The guy leading the way was holding a poster that read "Ron Paul for Liberty" and he was followed by about a group of a dozen others.

The next photograph I took shows a young guy holding a very large banner with a PVC frame, the banner reading "Ron Paul Revolution." The group was upbeat and was moving pretty quickly through the neighborhood surrounding the ASU campus. Passing by drivers cheered and honked their horns which had me thinking more people are excited by this movement than just those carrying posters.

I revisited an article I authored in September regarding presidential campaign web sites and it looks like the Ron Paul web team took my website advice and optimized the RonPaul2008 URL so that it does not split PageRank. It's only about a month later and Google searches for the term Ron now display 'Ron Paul' results above the fold.

As I mentioned in my blog post, I don't know much about Ron Paul but I have seen his name appearing consistently in chiropractic newsgroups and e-mail newsletters. It will be interesting to see which 2008 presidential candidates receive endorsements from national organizations, such as the International Chiropractors Association and the World Chiropractic Alliance. If anyone can offer information as to why Ron Paul would make a good candidate for the chiropractic profession to support, I'll consider posting it to Planet Chiropractic. You can reach me via e-mail by clicking on the yellow envelope under the title of this post.

No, I did NOT make up Planet Chiropractic.

Another interesting read, which can't be posted as a thread.

The Socialist Case for Ron Paul

I’m a recent convert and I now have two upset, fellow Republicans almost converted also.

[Neu Pragmatist]

What are you Paul supporters going to do when he loses the Republican primary ? Will you urge him into third party mode ?
I hope so , as he will take more Dim votes than Republican votes .

[Neu Pragmatist]

Paul is getting a rather large infusion of funds from somewhere . I suspect that if it can be traced , it would lead back to Soros or the Dims .... although that is just speculation at this point .

[BKerr]

I would consider third party if somebody as liberal as the most conservative democrat was nominated as a Republican (which includes Mitt, Rudy, and John).

[imahawk]

Hah! You can count on that.I see those signs all over here north of Atlanta.I ain’t buying their sale.No thanks soros.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Ron Paul has as much a chance of being elected POTUS as I have of being appointed Emperor of the Universe. Republicans need to start “getting real”.

[MNJohnnie]

Well we hope you recover your sanity soon.

[BKerr]

If it’s somebody like Duncan Hunter or Fred Thompson, I will vote for them; if it’s a R.I.N.O., what’s the difference? A liberal is a liberal, no matter what party he belongs to.

[nj26]

Doesn’t Ron Paul want to concede the War in Iraq? Or am I missing something?

Yup. Tancredo would be a fine choice as well.

"The Socialist Case for Ron Paul"

This was written by a socilaist????

"Ron Paul is running for a federal position and is committed to a small federal government. A small federal government will consume fewer taxes and impose fewer burdens on the individual states."

This election cycle is making less and less sense every day!

[Tears of a Clown]

O Please, the soros conspiracy crap rivals that of the paulites.

Say what you will about him, but this guy does get real fans: idealistic, disenchanted, kooky, but fans none the less. I’ve seen his little scoreboard he keeps on his website, it’s real people.

I don’t like Paul’s views at all on the war, but I’ve stopped being so juvenile about attacking him.

[bpjam]

So the key to the Ron Paul campaign is basically SEO and Google Rankings? Curious. I wonder what the Founding Fathers would have thought about that since RP quotes them so frequently (and he probably couldn’t tell you what his Google PR is at any point in time).

Congrats. Could you guys possibly convince the other anti-war socialist groups to support Paul instead of Hillary since Paul is far more a geniune anti-war candidate then Hillary is? You guys could create the new Green Party and do what that pathetic, impotent Lebanses loser failed to do in 2000 or 2004. I’d appreciate it.

By the way, if people (who are Paulistas)call themselves former-Republicans, aren’t shouldn’t they be looking to start their own forums somewhere instead of using ours which support candidates who ARE trying to win the GOP nomination?

[Neu Pragmatist]

Same here . They made a major push this weekend all over. They even had enough signs to spare to leave behind . No other campaign , on either side , has that kind of resources to pay for those kinds of expendable campaign expenditures in this stage of the game .

The money is flowing Liberally from somewhere ....

A recent convert to what?
And why are you going two upset republicans?
What are almost converted republicans?

Chiropractors, the people who put the “CRACK” in crack-pot have found their natural candidate in Ron Paul.

Any honest chiropractor is honest with themselves will have to admit their legitimacy ends as an adjunct to physical therapy. Unfortunately, most of them have drunk deeply of the Kool-Aid and think they can solve most anything, encourage their patients against childhood vaccinations and a host of other quackerations (my word).

That they have the title Dr. is a tragedy, even large insurers will cover their “care”.

[airborne]

He’s got an excellent chance of getting more votes thanhe did in 1988.

On the ballot in 46 states and the District of Columbia, he placed third in the popular vote with 431,750 votes (0.47%), behind Republican Bush and Democrat Michael Dukakis.

[svcw]

I would argue there are not republicans who are for RP.

There is a fringe group of anti-American (you know blame America first, we have no foreign enemies no such thing as a allies, can’t we just talk to these people), anti-semetic (Iran doesn’t really mean what they say about wiping all Jews off the face of the earth), 9/11 truthers, who do not have a clue about monetary policies or the constitution.

OR they are just plain ignorant of what RP actually says and does.

No! It's coming from soldiers in foxholes. I mean, they said so on their donation forms.

/sarcasm

[RedQuill]

...get real

I guess you didn't get the memo. A bunch of us here aren't doing "real". We're going to play make-believe 'til the Primary, and then we're going to pout and "Vote My Conscience". Then on to Phase II, which is to spend a year or two tearing ourselves to bits blaming other republicans for President Hillary. By the end of the second year or so we'll be too busy working to pay for Graeme's health care, x-box stipend, and beer money. At least that's the plan.

[submarinerswife]

That they have the title Dr. is a tragedy, even large insurers will now cover their “care”.

Do they go to medical college? For 8 years and then residency? how does it work as far as their education?

My neighbor and his wife (who passed away last Wednesday night at a young age) are Chiropractors with pretty successful practices. He is the coolest neighbor we have ever had. He reminds me of Tony Soprano.

[Neu Pragmatist]

Hehehehe....

[MNJohnnie]

Libertineism sounds all good and sexy when you are young and think you should not have any responsibility for anything or anyone. Problem is none of you Libertines ever do without the safety net we, the responsible, portion of society provide for you.

None of you paid for your own schooling, you expect the hospital we provide to care with you if you get injured or sick. IF you get fired you expect us there with the unemployment check. It easy to rant and rave about the glory's of the Libertine lifestyle when you know full well you NEVER will actually have to put your butts where your mouthes are.

Society provides a great deal to you Libertines. We have reason to expect you to also be responsible members of that society in your turn. You people want to take and never give. That is pathetically self absorbed.

But don’t worry. Ron Paul will never be President. Ron Paul will NEVER be a nominee for President. So you can strike all your self absorbed self regarding poses about “Liberty” knowing full well you will never have to actually walk the walk Liberty demands of it's followers. You people don't want Liberty, you want License. Authority to do what ever you want when ever you want with no responsibilities or obligations. Too bad for you all life doesn't work that way.

[billbears]

It started online and now it's moving into the physical world

Indeed it is.

The Socialist Case for Ron Paul

From the article

You only lose if you are totalitarian, which means you want to impose your laws on all states even if their citizens do not want your laws.

Well that pretty much discounts the social conservatives that believe the idiots in Washington know more about the social issues within the states than the citizens within their own states.

[word_warrior_bob]

Do they go to medical college? For 8 years and then residency? how does it work as far as their education?

Nothing close to that though I think they increased the requirements over the years.

There’s no law against them being nice people, I was close with a family with generations of “Dr’s” of Chiropractic, (they practically WERE the Sopranos of Chiropractic, Dr. Joe being the Tony).

Having a successful Chiro practice means lying to people about what you can do and how often they should see you, albeit sometimes unknowingly.

Chiropractors and Global Warming are in the same category, very little science, lots of money.

[JSDude1]

I agree..

[JSDude1]

Up is down, left is right, “whoa to those that call evil good, and good evil”..

you are right.

Poltics creats ‘strange bed-fellows’.

[JSDude1]

I thought Freerepublic was a ‘conservative’ website; not a tool of the Republican Party (though republicans are welcome here), as should be other right-leaning people.

BTW: I am still a Republican, but am becoming dissillusioned.

[JSDude1]

Part 4; the republicans are laughing behind the scenes becuase they have ‘bought-and-paid-for’ your SOUL, and the country can continue as usual down the liberal prim-rose-path!

[editor-surveyor]

"Any honest chiropractor will have to admit their legitimacy ends as an adjunct to physical therapy."

What an ignorant statement! Chiropractic patients live longer, remain functional in their professions longer, rarely have serious diseases, and live without fear.

[eyedigress]

WATE Knoxville just gave the BCS rankings with Ohio St. at #1 and South Florida at #2. They said without any embellishment “it would be the equivelent of Hilllary vs Ron Paul”. LOL! (I leave it to you guys to figure out who is who!)

[editor-surveyor]

"Doesn’t Ron Paul want to concede the War in Iraq? Or am I missing something?"

I think that what you missed is that RP wants the votes of that group, and the votes of many other disaffected fringe groups, and it is beginning to look like he will get them, even if they are mutually contradictory.

[word_warrior_bob]

What an ignorant statement! Chiropractic patients live longer, remain functional in their professions longer, rarely have serious diseases, and live without fear.

I’m assuming you’re being sarcastic! You can find many other dubious unscientific claims on just about any Chiropractors website/literature.

[editor-surveyor]

No, I’m being factual and rational, as opposed to your fictional and irrational.

[Kitanis]

I thought Freerepublic was a ‘conservative’ website; not a tool of the Republican Party (though republicans are welcome here), as should be other right-leaning people.

It is.. but the die hard Republicans on this site will insult and demean you if you go against what they believe. I use to be a member of the Republican Party but now I am in independent voter who leans to the conservative side in politics because of some of the "Republicans" on this system

Ron Paul Regurgitation in Tempe Arizona - there I fixed the title. Enjoy your forced leave Paulnut.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

What are you Paul supporters going to do when he loses the Republican primary

I'll support the GOP nominee as long as it's not Rudy or McCain, but then again that's just me. You'll have to deal with the thousands of Paul supporters who may write in Paul's name in the general election. (Translation: Keep up the good job pissing on Paul and his supporters, they're not going to vote for your lovable RINO in the general)

Will you urge him into third party mode?

He's already said he's not going to run as a 3rd party candidate. Geez Louise you people are like parrots repeating this crap.

I hope so , as he will take more Dim votes than Republican votes.

Uh, as a 3rd party candidate, he'll actually devastate the GOP candidate more.

[submarinerswife]

Nothing close to that though I think they increased the requirements over the years.

So what is it (other than an 8 year degree) that makes them a "Dr"?

Seriously. What medical training sets them apart from a Phys. therapist?

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

The money is flowing Liberally from somewhere

ROFL. All of Paul's money comes from hard-working ordinary Americans. He posts the names of his donors in real-time on his website. I seriously doubt that all these folks are members of the KKK or Code Pink.

You guys are in full panic mode.

[RedQuill]

Alright \/\/ayne—Outta the pool.

I thought Ron Paul was a Medical doctor— Is he a Chiropracter?

[Revelation 911]

Ron Paul has as much a chance of being elected POTUS as I have of being appointed Emperor of the Universe. Republicans need to start “getting real”.

yep - we said the same thing when Clinton ran the second time.....and won

Bullshirt, but nice try...
