Many of you know that I help organize the Duncan Hunter "meetup" group(s). I decided to peek in at the "competition" and found it very interesting that Ron Paul supporters are being urged to attend the MoveOn.org rally....
http://ronpaul.meetup.com/1/boards/view/viewthread?thread=3421862
I post this because I know there are a lot of folks on FR that support Ron Paul.. I just wonder if you are participating in this effort.. or what you think about this whole business of catering to MoveOn.org
.... quote from an active Ron Paul supporter
Somebody posted a thread concerning moveon, and letting their members know about Ron Paul. As a member of moveon.org, I received today an invitation to create an anti-war rally on August 28th. They will be doing rallies all across the nation on that day. We should invade this event. During the rally, bring anti-war stickers, signs, and flags -- and also Ron Paul signs. Introduce moveon members to Ron Paul, the REAL anti-war candidate! Anti-war people will ask about Ron Paul and be introduced to him on that day. Don't be rude, just gently introduce people to the peace candidate. Moveon.org is well cordinated, so if enough of our people show up at their rallies, we might be able to convert a huge number of people.
I have already created a moveon.org anti-war rally, on the 28th at 7pm, right outisde of the West Covina Mall. Please, everybody who can in this group, COME. It's on the corner of Vincent and Plaza Drive in West Covina.

Apropos Iraq? Sure, I’ll grant you that. Then again, Paul can say he’s been right on Iraq all along, regardless of whoever else shares that position. All the other Republican candidates have to run knowing they were bested by a guy like Dennis Kucinich on the issue. You tell me which is worse.
Oh, I hadn't realized you are over there.
I would like to think you are being upfront about your lack of agenda, I really would.
I have seen a few military contractors or personally-invested-in-the-war on these threads who detest Paul. They have nothing to contribute but rage and spittle and I can't help but wonder if some of these non-news threads are a forum created just for them.
Not saying you did that, I'm just wondering.
Ron Paul is closer to being conservative than Thompson or Romney . Check out early votes on abortion ,illegals and homosexual marriage on these two .
Party worship has almost killed this nation . A republican or conservative who acts like a liberal is not a conservative or a republican .
How many more real conservatives will be run off this site with false accusations of hate . Divided we fall . We will never all agree on everything .
We can all agree on that!
Ouch! Logical Paradox! ***poof***
I never have entered into the practice of trying to justify my views by comparing those who disagree with me, to the mass murderers of the Nazis.
I do question the “Paulette’s” group and Mr. Paul's view of the US position in world.
I believe that his views are naive and ill formed, to the point that they disregard prima facie evidence of threats to the US, in the name of isolation. His policy of “If we don’t bother them, they won’t bother us” is best held by those on playground, not the Oval Office.
What a load of media-inspired B.S.
The troops get disgusted at that kind of talk, by the way. And they don't want you anti-war people making their decisions for them. They're getting the job done and they just wish people who advocate cut-and-run would get out of their way.
As for the Iraqi people, you clearly have no idea what they really want.
Thank you.
Thank you. I liked your post to “All” on this topic - I can’t find it right now but re-read it several times, earlier.
Bttt
I watched it too, and yes I saw it.
Yeah, I’ve heard from RP’s own mouth what his particular position is with respect to the war, and that’s all the proof that’s needed by anyone with a single operable brain cell to understand what he believes in and how he would set this country up for an even larger terrorist attack were he to somehow (not gonna happen) obtain the presidency. So, stick a sock in it, you and your liberal friends who like to troll the FR site fishing for people to hurl your insults at. There are (thankfully) enough people who are not fooled by this charlatin such that there’s no worry that he’ll be able to do his damage as President. So, now we just have to worry about the damage he does as a Congressman.
Then perhaps he should stop bashing those on FR who find his candidate to be less than honest in his bid for president. Every insult he throws around at people who don’t agree with him makes him look like a troll.
That’s because half the Ron Paul supporters on FR belong to MoveOn, and just post here to stir up trouble.
You said half.
I say BS
Prove it.
Ya know, If I was RP and these people from Moveon, and that Jones guy on the radio were using my candidacy to further their left wing political agenda I would stand up and tell everyone that they do not represent me. Haven’t seen him do that. So, I can make only one assumption and that is that he’s okay with them riding on his coattails in his presidential bid. Birds of a feather . . .
