Blue Moon or the day I sided with the Paulites
Claudia on April 28
The Nevada GOP state convention was cut short (http://www.lvrj.com/news/...) Saturday by party officials. The stated reason? Basically that their rental time had run out (at 6pm!) and since there was a lot left to do, they’d reconvene at a later date. It of course had nothing to do with the presence of a large group of highly organized Ron Paul supporters who were configuring the convention in their favor.
Of course.
Ron Paul supporters, by numbers and organization, managed to get a rules change passed that would essentially open the posibility of Ron Paul getting more delegates than initially expected at the national convention. If you’ve ever interacted with Paulites you can probably imagine their reaction when they were told the convention was being shut down.
Supposedly at this point I’m supposed to complain about the lemming-style attitudes of Paulites and their ability to hijack discourse wherever they go. So it’s to my suprise as much as anyones that I’m defending them here today. They didn’t break any rules; they showed up, organized, informed about their rights, willing to work hard, and they got things done. The excuse given for cutting the convention short is very poor, it seems pretty clear to me that the Nevada GOP thought they were losing control of the event and decided to shut it down. Doubtlessly when they re-open the crowd will consist of quite a few more highly organized regular GOP activists to counter the Ron Paul supporters. It was an underhanded tactic, and also an unneccesary one. Just what in the world are they afraid of? It’s not like Ron Paul is going to unseat John McCain at the national convention. And if there are a few active pro-Ron Paul supporters at the national convention so what? It will change exactly nothing.
This concludes my first ever defense of the Paulites.

Don't be fooled people
While the positive article is appreciated, this poligazette formerly known as Van der Galien gazette is a pro-Israel, anti-American editorial that utterly despises Ron Paul and his movement and has a history of writing bad articles about him. The only reason they write about him is to get clicks to their website. Once in a while they'll "throw us a bone" and expect us to be all grateful.
Ron Paul was the best thing that ever happened to these guys since they would get so many clicks each time they posted an article on him. Yet each time they posted an article, it was poorly researched, superficial in nature and spun against the good Dr. and his movement. Heck they're out in the Netherlands. They could care less about a sound American dollar, fiscal responsiblity and a humble foreign policy.
I, for one, have stopped clicking through to them in particlar because of their slanted journalism.
appreciate
your honesty,,,really,,,,peace
One who is willing to give us a voice...
I do not consider an opponent, (maybe a future ally). Thank you for your reasoned defense of the Ron Paul supporters. Kudos as well to the supporters who were there- you made us look great- (and made the RINO leadership look really bad).
Miracles still happen, you know. (Although strictly speaking this would be more of an awakening or a turning point.)

It is alarming that republicans don't want to follow the rules. Oh wait, President Bush participated in numerous power grabs and totally ursurped the powers of the executive branch. I voted for him twice, but now I am a true Ron Paul believer.
You are brave for siding with us. It is not popular, yet. You are ahead of the curve.
Bump!
