Frankly, I don’t believe anything Ron Paul supporters have to say at this point. Many of them are true-blue small government conservatives. But they have been infiltrated by a huge number of absolute nutjobs.
It’s a foney issue.
Yours is a description of the Paul fans that I can accept.
No, no it was Dubya who did it!
Now we know why Karl Rove left DC on 8/31. It was ROVE who did it!
No, it was rival shrimpin' interests that did it!
No, it was the New York City Transit District that did it! The NYCTD wanted those bus and trolley subsidies that palePaulie earmarked for Galveston.
NO!!! It was Al Qaeda's enemies who did it!!!
Hmmmm...kind of the same ratio we see here on FR?
I had planned to drive to Ft Worth to vote in the straw poll. Then I learned that I wasn’t eligible because I was never a delegate to anything. I’m a Hunter supporter, but when I learned of the rules, I simply stayed home.
I see the usual gang of idiotic trolling numbskulls has turned out for your thread. The debate on Wednesday in NH should be interesting. In June, we had as many Ron Paul supporters as all of the other candidates combined. We’ll see if any of the other campaigns can bring anyone out, or if like all the other recent campaign events in NH, the other campaigns bring out two dozen tired party hacks and we bring out 250 die hard supporters.
You nailed it. Paul's campaign is being hijacked by the anti-war kooks and the anarchist anti-gov't libertarians. PAUL NEEDS TO DENOUNCE THIS CRAP NOW!
Close friend of John Galt.
LOL!
Couldn’t agree with you more. But he has attracted the whackos for years and years...and never denounced them.
Although I agree with a lot of what he SAYS I would never vote for him because of the followers he attracts. Witness the post here. Ive met a few......and I wouldn’t want them in my home...
You didn’t have to have voted in recent years;
you had to have been a delegate to one of the past 4 state GOP conventions, i.e., in the past 8 years.
An approach that was apparently beyond the capabilities of Paulinistas.
I was eligible to participate in the straw poll but chose not to do so.
According to the registration form, which I still have,
“IMPORTANT: Credentials and tickets will be available for pickup at Will Call with a valid photo ID. Delegates must pick up their credentials by 10 a.m. on September 1st in order to vote. These will be held under the last name of the Delegate. These will not be mailed.”
There is nothing in the packet about attire.
Ron Paul sounds, smells and acts like a screwball. And Larry Craig gets dumped first? How?
The video doesn’t say anything about attire that I could hear (much of it being unintelligible), but the best part was a comment posted below the video to the effect that Paul supporters would become “Freedom fighters like the Palestinians against the Zionists.” Any campaign that has nuts like that in it is in series trouble.
difference between grabass and screwball

Can you scan the letter at 100 percent and put a jpg up on a free image hosting site and post the url to it so we can read it word for word?
Not sure the problem if any but you had to be a delegate to the previous 4 state conventions and/or the previous 2 national presidential conventions..... This was posted on the online registration form and on the web site general info site.... I doubt there was any conspiracy regarding who could get in at the door. Either you had a registration form or had proof of your attendance at one of the previous conventions.... Pretty straight forward. Althought I did read of one that had trouble getting the info sent to him and had to register at the convention site.
........
Who can attend:
Delegates to the Straw Poll - Must have been a Delegate or Alternate Delegate to at least one of the last 4 Republican State Conventions (2000, 2002, 2004 or 2006) or one of the last 2 Republican National Conventions (2000 or 2004). If you have not received a registration packet in the mail and meet these qualifications, please email strawpoll@texasgop.org to request that a new registration packet be mailed to you. Be sure to include your current address and phone number in the email.

I am on my Treo, can’t watch the video, yet. However the time rule was published. There was no “proper attire” rule. Tons of people were in t-shirts, including plenty of Ron Paul shirts. (those orange and green shirts with “Who is this man?” were ugly, BTW. Most of us were in red, white, and blue. That’s one of the things that separates us from the anti- America crowd: we enjoy the dressing up and showing the colors, wearing our flag pins.
