So this morning I was flipping through the news channels and stopped on Fox News as they were doing a story on Michael Phelps. They were reading off a list of things most people do not know about him that were being printed in his hometown paper. When they got to number 2, it was that he was very close friends with fellow swimmer, Erik Vendt. They went on to say that though Michael wasn't very political, his good friend Erik Vendt was a die hard Ron Paul supporter and was constantly chirping about Ron Paul into Michael's ear. Just made me smile when I saw the gold medal around Vendt's neck and knowing that he loved Dr. Paul as much as I did. Just thought you guys should know.

Is anyone here that could be a good looking gold metalist?

We need more Ron Paul gold metalists. That should be a part of our revolution. More people in Congress and more gold metal Olympiads. Get your taleted kids in the gym now!

I'm working on it.

The best choice is to pick a sport that no one cares about.

I didn't know they had a 20 meter air pistol category. My daughter's only 10 months...but I think i'll buy her a BB gun this weekend. Can't let these Chinese beat us in female BB gun shooting...

I've been watching the Chilean news tonight and, after Phelps won the razor-thin 100 m race against Cavic, the sports commentators were saying that there are speculations about who won the race. Apparently, there was a poll out in Spain, asking who won the race. 56% thought that Cavic should've won it. There are many analysts that even say that Phelps and Cavic could each get a gold medal. As soon as I heard about this, I asked myself why didn't people speculate about the gold medals China won in Gymnastics.

Silly

When I saw our awesome young women take gold and silver for gymnastics all-around, I said to my family, "Gold and silver: first the Olympics, next our currency! At least least they see the value in gold and silver."

Micheal Phelps is not only symbolic, & well known but very easy on the eyes :). If he would be a surprise guest, oh a bunch of women and their daughters would show up. Erik Vendt's has politics as one of his pass times so he would be good to listen to and could get us fired up too. Since Mike isn't that into politics, he could give an inspirational or motivational speech. They certainly would be nice additions to the Rally if they can come.

Vendt almost able to convince Phelps!!

Submitted by atrickpay on Fri, 08/15/2008 - 13:14.

"Ron Paul is my guy," said Vendt, who describes himself as a libertarian ideologically. "It's really frustrating the way the mainstream media just ignored him and acted like he was a fringe candidate without doing any research at all. I think he's really what the country needs. ... I'm definitely not a fan of the huge tentacle-like arms of the federal government invading everything in our lives."

Vendt said he's almost been able to convince Phelps to join the Paul Revolution.

"Michael is a big online poker guy, and that's one of Paul's issues, legalizing online gambling," Vendt said.

Vendt says he could see himself possibly getting involved in politics someday.
