Ron Paul Invite to Orlando is a Peace Offering, Orange GOP Chief Says

Orange County is scheduled to host U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, the Libertarian presidential hopeful whose surge in popularity attracted new members to local Republican Party chapters, but in many cases sparked divisive fights for power.

That certainly played out in Orange, where county GOP chief Lew Oliver barely beat back a challenge by Paul supporters who teamed up last year with other dissidents and almost unseated the long-time leader. Oliver won his post by a slim 122-121 vote.

Since then, Oliver has continued to fend off internal challenges, many of them fueled by Paul supporters.

But Oliver said he wants to make nice, and it was his idea to invite Paul to speak to the county's Republican Party Executive Committee on Thursday. On Friday, Paul is scheduled to speak at the Florida Liberty Summit event, also in Orlando.

Oliver said bringing Paul to the party's executive committee to speak was meant to make a point, that the party is open to all viewpoints, he said. "This was not their idea, it was mine," Oliver said.

At 2008 MO GOP state convention

It started with a prayer; after the A-men it went straight to Hell. The GOP, after the A-men, forgot Christian and moral values and started dealing in deceit, lies, and misrepresentation.

Lies everywhere

If you are getting your news from the two people with greivances filed against them in Orlando, you are being lied to, REPEATEDLY and FREQUENTLY. They are telling you what they want you to know to keep you angry. I don't know about you, but I don't like being manipulated. Don't get me wrong, both sides are guilty of a few things and dissapointing in this argument, but I have decided for myself, that I can figure things out for myself than to trust losers who are seriously political mercenaries. Find out who they are really. For hire political operatives whose only loyalty is to money. Look into everyones history yourself. You will find out who the real liars are.

I am really looking forward to the special event on Friday and hope that the local GOP makes it out, they are more open now that the elections are over and the community is primed to take in the message of liberty.

Here is his email address, and my respone to that POS Lew...

chairman@orangegop.org

Dear Lew,
You are obviously a NEO-CON piece of shit. Now that the REPUBLICON PARTY is in shambles, you crawl to Dr. Paul to make nice. Give it up. The treatment of Dr. Paul and his supporters by you SONSABITCHES will never be forgotten. Good luck in the next election.

YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO!!!

Good one

Tell it like it is brother. I've been telling the GOP trash here we're cleaning out the socialists, one way or another. I'm ready for a real revolution.

Just one last kick in the nuts, then a final deathblow

What a big-ego'd jerk...

"This was not their idea, it was mine," Oliver said.

Important questions

Will Oliver serve beer on the lawn? Is this to be a teachable moment? Will Oliver apologize?

But serially folks. Ron Paul needs to ask one question before an RSVP: Will Nick Egoroff and Doug Guetzloe be on that committee?

screw him

He wants an olive branch so he can keep power.

Kick his ass out as Orlando chairman. After that, ask him if he want to be friends and have a truce.

Have Paul write an op-ed for a local newspaper saying that he wants to come, but they need to replace their fascist chairman first. So he could make an offering to go, but only after this occurs.

There's no point in negotiating with the neocons because if you let him keep power he'll just backstab you as soon as there is another election and he doesn't agree with you again.

What! Orlando!

You mean I get to see Ron Paul in Person! Making the Drive from Miami...

Don't trust those bastards.

Don't trust those bastards. This is an attempt at co-option of our movement.

people in the republican

people in the republican party sicken me.

Present company excluded?

x

All of us?....that's quite a blanket statement....

You wouldn't include Ron Paul in that would you?.....or Adam Kokesh?.....or Rand Paul?....

That being said - we still have ALOT of work to do in dragging the party to a place Thomas Jefferson would feel comfortable hanging out....

Have you joined Ron Paul's Caucus?

Red Pill Vs. Blue Pill

I went to the Grievance hearing last weekend,(you know the one where they are throwing out the outspoken) and I doubt very seriously that Oliver is extending a peace branch. I suspect he just wants to get us real grassroots type to work for the establishment, then when it comes time... to sit down and shut up!

Welcome to the GOP, now leave your opinion at the door.

Sit down, shut up & and here's aa pen to write a big fat check for us.... blaaaaaah

I agree w/the next poster.... Dr Paul does have a way about him.... hope he wins every heart in that place.

letushope~ I see what you are saying

* and I surely know Oliver's intention..but what is so cool is that it will probably backfire on him! By having Dr. Paul speak...you know he always makes so much sense...I think it will just expose that "exclusionary mindset" even more!!

You blinked - you lose.

So, it seems the tin-foil-hatted, basement-dwellers are a little more formidable than they led on.

Now they're scared. Now they're threatened. Now, they're looking to play nice.

Good luck negotiating your position with Dr. Paul. Don't worry, your supporters will certainly rally around you when you're down....
