Ron Paul is everywhere

Posted: Saturday, November 10, 2007 3:16 PM by Domenico Montanaro

From NBC's Mark Murray
AUSTIN, TX -- Want more proof that Ron Paul supporters are everywhere? Outside the University of Texas football stadium here -- just an hour before kickoff -- is a plane flying with a banner that reads: "Ron Paul for President...Everyone wins." We're not kidding.

4.2 million dollars raised in 24 hours without the official campaign having anything to do with that effort. Why are there still so many apathetic people in this country who only care about cosmetics and pop culture but could care less how the American dollar is dying.
Here is a question not asked enough:
Why are things as bad as they are? Why was a house 50grand to buy and now you can't touch a one bedroom 'condo' for that much? Why is gas $3/gallon? Why do people have to work two jobs in order to pay bills? WHAT HAS CHANGED?? Its not because there are more people today; it is not because people are more greedy. It is because of INFLATION. The dollar has less purchasing power than ever and everything is only becoming more and more expensive. When people can finally understand this, it will be too late. Spread the Ron Paul message and have hope for America.

I'm a bit confused as to how people can look at the candidates both parties have put up for the last quarter century -- actors, sociopaths, socially awkward eco-nerds, functionally retard southerners -- and then look at Ron Paul and say, "How can we take this man seriously?" How can anyone take American politics seriously?

No wonder everyone thinks Americans are stupid.

I'll see the thinking minority at the barricades...

Ron Paul signs are the ONLY ones around my town for President. No other Presidential candidates signs are posted anywhere that I've seen, and this is a fairly small suburb so I've seen most of it lately :)

While other presidential candidates are wheeling and dealing behind the scenes for high-profile endorsements (at what cost to us?), what you saw today is a much more important statement of endorsement, made by people of limited means paying for that banner. Thanks for sharing with us what you saw, Mark!

What do you mean, "Ron Paul supporters are everywhere" ? I looked at the latest polls, which are super-duper accurate, and they had him at 2%. The TV told me he only had a handful of passionate supporters. Are they teleporting from place to place?!

He's had national support for decades as people have read and passed along his writings on limited Constitutional government, individual rights, and personal responsibility.

We've waited decades for someone like him to finally bring these ideas into the mainstream, and what do you know, it IS him!

All the happy voices will be shocked when delegates to the GOP convention don't support Dr. Paul. If you're not a registered Republican, unless you're in an open primary setup, and don't attend your local caucus (CO is Feb 5) and support Dr. Paul's candidacy, the delegates will go with the McRomneyson candidate.

I do believe Dr. Paul when he says he won't run 3rd party. So the next step is to be a registered Republican (I won't tell) and attend the selection step in your state.

I'm originally from College Station, Texas and went to Texas A&M (now live in Denton) and the thought of ever praising Austin (as much as I love it there :))or the Texas Longhorns would be tantamount to denying my existence. But I'm going to have to make a confession. I'm so proud of the Austin meetup group and those who put this flyover together that I was contemplating buying a longhorn shirt. However, I will buy another Ron Paul shirt and I'm sure they will understand (looking for one in burnt orange).
I'm sure you are aware that the Plano group put together a flyover last week for NASCAR in Fort Worth and the Denton group had a booth there also. Little wonder Denton has been called the "little Austin".
You make us proud Texas. Gig 'em Horns.

If the money bomb tomorrow (although smaller than the 11/05 one) puts Paul over $10 million, it's quite possible Paul could end up with $25 million for the 4Q, because there's another Money Bomb on 12/16, and on 12/15 is the Bill of Rights Day, so that's a whole weekend.

Hey I just got home from the Philly Rally. I was one of the 2 dozen spammers on hand, and we brought about 4000+ halograms with us that overflowed on the streets. Independence Mall was a sea of Ron Paul signs. What better spot could there be. We were surrounded by The Liberty Bell, The Constitution Center, Independence Hall, and The soon to be extinct Federal Reserve, and the soon to be restored Philly Mint. What a fantastic event, Dr. Ron said it was the biggest rally yet. Not bad for a few spammers. CNN was on hand and several local news stations and I believe he was also interviewed for Nightline. Be sure to check youtube, I'm sure there will be lots of new videos posted shortly. May God Bless this Great Man and The United States of America. Remember, Remember the 5th of November. If you can make a donation on November 11th to honor the brave heros that have given so much so we may live in the land of the free and home of the brave, and keep it that way.

Welcome to the 2nd American Revolution!
Ron Paul is the only 'top tier' candidate NOT associated with the Council on Foreign Relations.
In other words, he is NOT owned by anyone!
This is a no brainer folks.
Vote Ron Paul or America will be only a memory.

The morning of September 11th I walked out of the subway at Cortland st (WTC station) just moments after the first plane had struck the north tower. Those of us who have lived w/ the memory of watching people cling to the exterior of the Towers to escape the fire, who still here the screams of those who took the terrible fall, who felt the earth move under their feet as the towers collapsed have been intrested in only one thing since that moment: Justice.
Our current goverment has used the events of that day to propagate an agenda that has nothing to do with Justice. Both parties have actively pursued a policy that will only further the hatred felt towards us and make the special interest groups grow even richer.
I had lost hope in our representitives, our goverment, our foreign policy, and the basic ability of the individual to effect change.
I want to thank Ron Paul and all of you, his wonderful supporters, for reinstilling in me the basic hope in our country and its ability to do the right thing. God Bless America, Ron Paul and the rEVOLution.
