Paul "Revolution" Rally Draws 800
MSNBC ^ | October 1, 2007 | Michael Memoli

Posted on 10/01/2007 9:28:49 AM PDT by Captain Kirk

Even a half hour after Ron Paul's "Revolution" rally ended in downtown Manchester, there was a crowd larger than other candidates could only hope to draw. The campaign estimated that as many as 800 people showed up as the Texas congressman kicked off a canvassing effort in New Hampshire's three largest cities.

The campaign gave out buttons asking: "Who is Ron Paul?" But who are Ron Paul's supporters? "I think they're new to the process," said Paul's son, Rand Paul. "We definitely have Democrats that are crossing over, Libertarians crossing over, Independents crossing over. And I think the people that come out are definitely gonna vote."

Rand Paul said that every day he's surprised at "how big" his father's campaign has gotten. Last week, they asked supporters to raise $500,000. "They passed that in three days, and now we're asking them to raise a million," Rand Paul said. By Sunday, they had done just that. And Rand Paul said his father might end the third fundraising quarter with more cash on hand than most of the other Republicans. "We may have more money on hand than Romney if you subtract what he's given himself," he said.

Here is what the founder of this site, and the hugely vast majority of the Freerepublic community think of Ron Paul, and your pro-Ron Paul threads.

Allow me to spell it out for you

GTFO

Jim Rob is obviously more open to debate than you are, since I am still posting.

I don't know why you pinged me. I was the one who pinged you originally when Jim posted it.

I read what he said and it's been noted.

Please note that nobody here wants to face the fact that Paul has drawn a bigger crowd than their candidate (fill in the blank) could ever do. This is telling.

Jim Rob has a soft spot in his heart for the "Saint of Lost Causes".

And you’re surprised or happy with the “crossover”?

Duh. Democrats and the ultra-left are more than happy to do their part in making sure the most wacked out loser in the Republican field gets all the press and “movement” possible. Divide and conquer, divide and conquer.

One day the Ron Paul republicans, assuming their is such an animal, will wake up and realize they’ve been used like a $20 hooker.

Furthermore lormand, this is a legitimate news article. Unless FR bans all Paul threads, including those from news sources, then you really have nothing to complain about. Like it or not, Paul is still a presidential candidate, and there will be news articles posted on him.

As long as Paul supporters can engage in reasonable debate without resorting to anti-war or neo-con kook tactics then there should be no problems.

"I don't know why you pinged me."

Because Captain Kirk has you in his "Ron Paul Revolution" ping list from this thread.

Please forgive the ping if it is not appropriete.

Since you don’t want a “crossover,” (e.g. add to the GOP’s shrinking base) what is your plan to avoid a repetition of the 2006 debacle?

If Duncan Hunter became a moonbat “truther,” he would draw crowds of moonbats, too. But he prefers not to deal with the devil.
