At a Monday event in Iowa, Texas Rep. Ron Paul and his son, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, were greeted at the Steeplegate Inn in Davenport with a trademark “Occupy” mic check.

“Mic Check” said one attendee loudly, as the GOP presidential candidate made his way to the podium. In the movement’s call-and-response pattern, others shouted back, “Mic check.”

But rather than belittle the to-be speakers with lethargic policy jibes, as has been done to other GOP presidential candidates, the attendees belted out compliments.

“Thank you, Dr. Paul, thank you for opposing the indefinite detention of Americans!” they shouted.

Yep. And apparently Democrats can become Republicans for the night, so they can vote.

Ron Paul - the vote whore

There is no group or individuals too scummy for Ron Paul to accept.

Did they pass the hat so the OWS trustafarians could pony up some cash? Were the crew from Stormfront there, too?

Not surprising. Many of the occutards were paulbots. The paul cultists had a pretty big contingent at many of the occupy ghettos. When it comes to foreign and defense policy, Paul is in Code Pink territory - far, far to the left of even Obama.

If I had the OWS support....I’d drop out of the race....

“Thank you, Dr. Paul, thank you for opposing the Wall Street bailouts!” they added.

Oh gezzz...

Lets get rid of this guy!

It is unclear if these attendees were in fact “Occupy” protesters

lol

[Proud2BeRight]

This crackpot continues to consolidate his support from groups of the nation's debris.

If you needed any other reason to not support Paul, here it is. If Occupy is for it, it is bad for America.
