Ron Paul Revolution in Tempe Arizona

Supporters of the Ron Paul Revolution were evangelizing out on the streets of Tempe this past weekend, while thousands were in town for the ASU vs. Washington Huskies game at Sun Devils Stadium. It started online and now it's moving into the physical world, I'm beginning to see this guy's name in more places and I'm recognizing someone is doing a hell of a job at getting the message out.

Earlier last week I authored a blog post about Chiropractors Voting for Ron Paul and there were quite a few comments posted. One comment came from a Life Chiropractic College student in Atlanta and it was suggested that there is a lot of excitement for Ron Paul at the Marietta chiropractic campus. Several days later I was visiting Cleveland Chiropractic College (which recently received some fresh paint) and I noticed banners hanging on the fences across the street from the school, displaying Ron Paul Revolution messages. A week later and I'm at Arizona State University in Tempe and there are college students marching the streets with Ron Paul banners, is this all just a coincidence or is there a real movement going on?

I was reminded why one should always travel with your digital camera because you never know when you'll need it. I was on my way back to a chiropractic conference at the Tempe Mission Palms when the group of Ron Paul supporters began approaching on 5th St. and S. Mill Ave, right in front of Hooters and The Library. The guy leading the way was holding a poster that read "Ron Paul for Liberty" and he was followed by about a group of a dozen others.

The next photograph I took shows a young guy holding a very large banner with a PVC frame, the banner reading "Ron Paul Revolution." The group was upbeat and was moving pretty quickly through the neighborhood surrounding the ASU campus. Passing by drivers cheered and honked their horns which had me thinking more people are excited by this movement than just those carrying posters.

I revisited an article I authored in September regarding presidential campaign web sites and it looks like the Ron Paul web team took my website advice and optimized the RonPaul2008 URL so that it does not split PageRank. It's only about a month later and Google searches for the term Ron now display 'Ron Paul' results above the fold.

As I mentioned in my blog post, I don't know much about Ron Paul but I have seen his name appearing consistently in chiropractic newsgroups and e-mail newsletters. It will be interesting to see which 2008 presidential candidates receive endorsements from national organizations, such as the International Chiropractors Association and the World Chiropractic Alliance. If anyone can offer information as to why Ron Paul would make a good candidate for the chiropractic profession to support, I'll consider posting it to Planet Chiropractic.

What are you Paul supporters going to do when he loses the Republican primary

I'll support the GOP nominee as long as it's not Rudy or McCain, but then again that's just me. You'll have to deal with the thousands of Paul supporters who may write in Paul's name in the general election. (Translation: Keep up the good job pissing on Paul and his supporters, they're not going to vote for your lovable RINO in the general)

Will you urge him into third party mode?

He's already said he's not going to run as a 3rd party candidate. Geez Louise you people are like parrots repeating this crap.

I hope so , as he will take more Dim votes than Republican votes.

Uh, as a 3rd party candidate, he'll actually devastate the GOP candidate more.

Nothing close to that though I think they increased the requirements over the years.

So what is it (other than an 8 year degree) that makes them a "Dr"?

Seriously. What medical training sets them apart from a Phys. therapist?

The money is flowing Liberally from somewhere

ROFL. All of Paul's money comes from hard-working ordinary Americans. He posts the names of his donors in real-time on his website. I seriously doubt that all these folks are members of the KKK or Code Pink.

You guys are in full panic mode.

I thought Ron Paul was a Medical doctor— Is he a Chiropracter?

Ron Paul has as much a chance of being elected POTUS as I have of being appointed Emperor of the Universe. Republicans need to start “getting real”.

yep - we said the same thing when Clinton ran the second time.....and won

why, when I pop onto Ron Paul Meetups do I regularly find some pretty anti-Semitic and racist statements?

"Americans have been conditioned, primarily through the Jew-controlled news and entertainment industry..."

"I've said it before, this is the one statement I've seen from Dr. Paul that I disagree with. Maybe he believes that differences between races are only superficial; I don't. I recognize that races are different and that it's not just a "paint job."

"...I believe zionism is racsism (sic) and condem (sic) it..."

"The biggest opponents of freedom aren't Blacks or Indigenious peoples from Central and South America but Zionist Jews and brainwashed Christians. This will get out one day and we must have the Information at our side. The MSM is going to make up whatever they feel will stop Ron from winning whether we are PC and try out to offend Zionists and overly sensitive minorities or whether we speak the truth on message boards."

Also explain why Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinech were the only members of congress to vote against a call to charge Ahmadinajad with violating the 1948 Genocide Convention.

And this: "If you have ever been robbed by a black teen-aged male, you know unbelievably fleet-footed they can be.” – Ron Paul, Victoria Advocate, 5/24/96

This: "The Jewish YRs came all the way from Houston, and all Ron did was berate them in our District Office about how the Israel Lobby was too powerful in Washington, and other issues. He also got defensive when the Jewish YRs expressed concern over Palestinian violence against Israel." Eric Dondero Rittberg, who worked for RP for 12 years.

Ron paul supporter..."The government of Israel is destroying the nation of Lebanon and killing its people, and the U.S. government is aiding and abetting this destruction.
Israel is not an ally of the United States and we have no treaty obligation to it.
The Israelis have nuclear weapons but have not signed the non-proliferation treaty.
Our tax dollars are being used to support Israeli aggression, against both the Lebanese and the Palestinians in Gaza."

"Our U.S. representative, Ron Paul, was one of only eight with the courage to vote against House Resolution 921, which endorses the present Israeli aggression in Lebanon and gives tacit approval to attacks upon Syria and Iran."

He reminds me of Tony Soprano.

He is. The Federal witness protection program now gives all former Mafia members the cover of “chiropractor”. Something about being good with manipulating people’s necks with their hands.

Heh. This is the most fun I have ever had on a ron Paul thread. Liberals love Ron Paul.

BTW: I am still a Republican, but am becoming dissillusioned.

Why has it taken you so long?

I'm pretty fed up witht the wimpy way the Republicans have been since Clinton was in offfice.

But since this is a Ron Pual thread, I will add that I would never get to the point of selling out our National security or Military to the Liberals by sitting at home next election just to "teach the Repubs a lesson".

And Ron Paul is a joke.

It’s not the medical training that sets them apart, ‘cause they’re not really doctors.

I’s the additional /business/training.

Two whole semesters of “how to intimidate patients into signing up for continuing periodic treatments”.

A few very interesting quotes and excerpts from Ron Paul Meetup sites, Pro-Ron Paul blogs, etc.

Interesting guy, RuPaul. Attracts very interesting people...9/11 Truthers and anti-Semites, amongst others.

Sad that there are good people being suckered into believing in this guy.

You are so true sofa, Have delt face to face with several at different times. They are on the same level as the Code Pinkos in their mentality.

Just read the RonPaul Forum and their sick views such as
9/11 Truthers and anti-Semites show up big time.

Chiropractors are for him because he is for freedom in healthcare. Something that will be positive to all consumers. Break the medical monopoly of physicians!
