Is the GOP Running Against Paul in Texas
Submitted by Sacramento_Jeff on Mon, 02/04/2008 - 16:19
Are they trying to attack his seat in congress?
Of the GOP stabbed him in the back does not that mean he should run 3rd party?















Not the first time.
The country-club Republicans went so far as to get a democrat to switch parties to run against him once before. The funny thing is, RP was able to re-use all the anti- big-government material the party had gathered on his opponent during the previous election.
It's not just the country that needs sorting out. The Republican Party needs RP to return it to its platform.

A little Texas politics for your pleasure (*ahem*)
Here's a good write-up regarding the 2003 re-districting of Texas as pushed through by Tom DeLay

Nothing is untouchable these days.
If ever, RP must maintain his district.

Not true
He has a few opponents but he always beats them handily. He is well loved in Texas in his district -- he delivered most of those babies!
Duh!
They have been for twenty years.
Not Trying To Change The Subject Here -- BUT
Vote RON PAUL 2008

Texas Politics. What was that Congressman's name, the guy they called The Hammer that looked everyone straight in the eye (on camera) and pulled a BILL CLINTON and claimed he was as pure (innocent) as the new fallen snow. What is his name? There was mention at the time that his wrongdoing was being prosecuted by someone there in Texas that had the best interest of the people in mind, but for some reason TIME seems to have made this less important, so much in fact I can't recall the corrupt Congressman's name. I did see him recently at one of the EVENTS (on TV) all smiles and shaking hands (rubbing elbows as the saying goes) so I suppose whatever happened to him it wasn't much of a big deal.
What was that guy's name again? Well, here's a photograph of him, maybe someone else out there will remember who it is I speak of -- another Texas Politician. No insult intended to RON PAUL -- He's my hero, he just happens to be from Texas.

Vote RON PAUL 2008
Tom DeLay
the former House Majority leader
USAToday just put up article online stating that the Paul campaign has just sent out e-mail that 4th quarter projections have passed 12 million.......
The word is getting out!!!
I am working with the Congressional Campaign here in VictoriaTX
I am sort of working with the Congressional Campaign here in Victoria, Texas. Not officially - my meetup group is the reason he came to Victoria for the rally this weekend and more over - I am doing this for free!
ANYWAY - If you live near here and want to help - PLEASE join the Victoria, Texas meetup group ASAP.
http://ronpaul.meetup.com/781/
We are having a major meeting this week and it is imperative to JOIN THE GROUP! Don't just sit there and read this - JOIN!!! :)
or email me at toni_marek@yahoo.com
here is the article the victoria newspaper ran: http://www.victoriaadvocate.com/847/story/189799.html
You can see by some of the comments that the opponent has some people working for him... SOME.
The opponent's problem is he is running a dirty campaign - and he is just now realizing that he is not going to be able and just TAKE the seat with his scroungy little 30k.
Ha!
DUH QUESTION...
Of course the GOP is running against Paul here in Texas - I LIVE here and they hate him here.... always have tried to dethrone him...
but they wont... reason is, Paul delivered all their babies in that district.
We have cuckoo numbers of meetup memebers in Texas
I think Dr. Paul has at least 4000 meetup members in Texas.

In 2002
I remember in 2002 when I first heard of Dr Paul and gave to his campaign, there was talk of the GOP redistricting his district like Bob Barr's in Georgia to try to debunk his spot. Didn't work, though.
Dr. Paul's district was gerrymandered thanks to Tom DeLay
Dr. Paul used to be my U.S. representative...until Tom DeLay had his way and managed to pull off a very controversial redistricting of Texas in 2003. I am still very pissed off about this subject! I seriously considered moving fifty miles south just so I could be represented by Dr. Paul once again. However, I like the idea of expanding his constituency better than packing and moving again.

One of them
One of the Republican props is : Chris Peden
Check out these quotes from the Texas Republican Party about Congressman Paul. This is a ver y small dose of the spewing B.S. you'll hear from his own party.
------------------------
Honorable Kathy Haigler, Deer Park, TX, State Republican Executive Committeewoman, SD11 says ... " Chris Peden is a principled Republican.
For far too long CD14 Republicans have been denied the opportunity to be represented by someone who actually believes in and practices the Republican Party Platform, and now they have the opportunity to vote for a solid conservative who will go to Washington D.C. and vote Republican.
Chris, it's a pleasure to give you my whole-hearted endorsement! Let me know if there's anything I can do to help your campaign. "
Greg Aydt, Seabrook, TX/December 28, 2007, GOP Precinct Chair, Harris County Precinct 333 says ... " Ron Paul's presidential campaign has shown just how far out of touch the incumbent is with. . . well, most of the GOP Platform and the GOP base. It is time to make sure that CD14 is represented by a man of integrity who believes what Republicans believe and works for what Republicans work for.
The day they vote will they be voting for Ron Paul for president
and congress

Without Paul
The GOP is dead.
never
GOP has never backed Ron. He has always won only through the hard work of his supporters, and no help from the local media etc. Basically like his presidential campaign but on a smaller scale.
The GOP is running against America
The signs are on the wall...this is our last chance. The Bolshevik take over is full stride now !
Well Texas governor Rick
Well Texas governor Rick Perry endorsed Giuliani(another NAU supporter) and then McCain and he hates RP and will work against him because RP is trying to stop the Trans Texas Corridor and the entire NAFTA Superhighway and the NAU which Perry supports.
Back in 1996, both Bush's, Newt Gingrich and others campaigned for RP's opponent to try to make him lose his house seat, but RP still managed to win. I'd expect the same sort of thing to happen again. RP needs our help in Texas.
Strat
He is using the "Ron Paul blames America first" strategy.
We need to donate money for his re-election campaign.
There is now someone running
There is now someone running against his seat. That is why he is now asking for contributions to his congressional campaign. I don't think they will be able to unseat him but he needs the funds to protect himself.
No 3rd party!
I don't know, but they've
I don't know, but they've done it before... back in 1996... Paul kicked their butts... they recruited a democrat to join the GOP and run against him. Paul only had 6% in the polls... but he beat him later on...
They had both Bushes campaigning for the other guy... when Paul won, George W. Bush (who was governor then), called Paul to his office... all he said was "Well, you ran one hell of a race."
in that race he had the whole GOP against him... nationally, and he still one.
It wouldn't be the first time. The Bush family and the GOP
tried to do it years ago by drafting a former democrat to run against him. Dr. Paul was polling less than 10% at that time, like now, and he had then Gov. Bush, Ex-Pres. Bush and the GOP establishment backing their hand-picked opponent. Dr. Paul won.
GH Bush campaigned against him too
.
Who are these 'conservatives'?
Make them go away please....
