Ron Paul: Rock Star
CBN News ^ | October 17, 2007 | David Brody

Posted on 10/17/2007 8:10:28 AM PDT by Captain Kirk

Ron Paul speaks about his impressive fundraising totals at The National Press Club in Washington DC today. The key question: organizationally, how will the campaign translate their financial success and the passionate zeal of his supporters into primary victories? What’s the “boots on the ground” plan? I’ll be at the press conference today and I’ll report back here on The Brody File.

Ron Paul mania is really something. Watch this video of him being mobbed in New York City the other day. Also, watch him discuss the Iraq war and Hillary Clinton at an event in Arlington, Virginia last week. You can also check out a discussion on MSNBC about his growing campaign here.

It's hard to drive around the Manchester area without seeing Ron Paul yard signs, bumper stickers and banners. Your supporters are everywhere and they talk about you like a rock star. What makes you so popular?

LOL. If every Thompson supporter put up a single yard sign and put a bumper sticker on one car, there would be a sea of Thompson paraphenalia, totally swamping out the Paulistinian efforts. Signs and bumper stickers are not an evidence of widespread support, just an evidence of a handful of motivated groupies.

If you're listening to a rock star in order to get your information on who to vote for, you're a bigger moron than they are. Why are we rock stars? Because we're morons. We sleep all day, we play music at night and very rarely do we sit around reading the Washington Journal.

Ron Paul doesn’t do anything to hurt the republicans...if anything he goes up against Hillary’s weak anti war message...with the added bonus of promoting fiscal responsibility etc. It’s also great that the press has spent sooo much time following him...

I’ve posted 3 articles, Florida, Idaho, and Orlando referencing the problems authorities are having cleaning the signs up. It’s not like they’re all going on their own property.

I just read another article (supported by video) that RP said there is no one in the world who could attach us and there is no reason ever to go to war.
What, we have already been attacked.
PB abortion..he is ....so confusing on his position.....
The more I read from him, the more I see of him, the more I know of him..... I really think he does not have a grasp of reality.

Too early to this thread. I will stop back later after the Ron Paul Tin Foil Brigade has weighed in.

Who can blame you for being bitter. Afterall, when McFred finally shows up, his rallies are more like wakes - for him.

LOL. If every Thompson supporter put up a single yard sign and put a bumper sticker on one car, there would be a sea of Thompson paraphenalia, totally swamping out the Paulistinian efforts.

The fact is you can dream about "sea" of support for McFred, but the truth is he will never be president and seeing the groundswell of support for the anti-neocon, Ron Paul, is what really burns you globalists up.

Gosh, a Republican presidential candidate that Republicans can actually be enthusiastic about. That’s so unusual this year it’s no wonder the Paulophobes are getting nuts.
