Should have read “Is There anyone from Texas that was there that can confirm or deny this happened? If you can confirm do you perhaps have a copy of the so called letter. I smell something fishy so want to check it out Thanks.”

What’s fishy is the Paulistinians who think they can walk in anywhere they please and dictate rules to organizers of events so that they better suit their master.

Apparently everyone who showed up from out of town or with an online registration recpt. was denied access unless they got there before 10am and in proper attire.

If everyone was turned away after a specified time, then what are Dr. Paul's supporters complaining about?

You had to meet certain, Texas Republican prerequisites to be able to vote in that straw poll. Given the Paulist track-record...

I can confirm that Ron Paul supporters are the most twisted moonbats around and will believe most conspiracy theories...

PAUL/SHEEHAN '08

This denial of entry after 10:00 a.m. was brought on by the U.S. policies in the Middle East.

I just knew there had to be more to this just found this

“Several noted that Paul had more supporters at the poll but most were not eligible to vote because the Republican Party of Texas only allowed those who had been delegates in recent years to a state or national convention to actually cast ballots.”

http://www.star-telegram.com/629/story/221103.html

Now it smells worse, which was it because of not having delegate badges or because they had not voted in recent years?

In the FWIW department I am not a Ron Paul supporter I just want to see who da heck is telling da truth is all

This is from a friend that was at the Straw Poll, “That Ron Paul really gags me and he had an enourmous following there. What a bunch they are tho most of them looked like throw backs to the hippie generation and many many of them were very rude. They had a hard time believing their guy didn’t win the poll and not only that, that he came in so far below Hunter. well, Hunter was brilliant and we were just so proud to be a part of it. Oh yea crazy Cindy Sheehan was there outside with some of her nutty followers protesting but we were inside all day and fortunately didnt have to cross paths with her.”.

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.

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.

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.

Watched the video, heard the people talking about the deadline, showing the papers with the time notice and there’s no mention of “proper attire.” Many people attended in T-shirts of all kinds.

What a bunch of hooey!

This is from a buddy who is an officer and organizer of the Straw Poll: “ONLY delegates to the past two State Conventions were eligible to attend and that list came from GOP headquarters in Austin. Also, you either registered online with the ID # from the past conventions OR you came with that documentation with that number and you registered there. In the material sent months ahead of time, it made it very clear that you must be registered BEFORE 10:00am to be there to vote.”
