How did Paul get 1.1 million votes from 100 people in the primary? I’m not talking an online poll, I’m talking about actual voting.

Reading some of their forums, I was expecting to see some Paul signs but we didn’t have a single Paul sign or anything similar in all of them.. We did have some Palin 2012 signs, some signs thanking Governor Perry for signing the State Sovereignty law, and a lot of ones supporting Congressman Gohmert.

He didn’t run in the general election...

He stuck his campaign funds in his pocket and laughed at the idiots who slobber at the sound of his name.

Johnson officially jumped the shark when he presented George Bush bending over to receive a medal from the Saudi King as being the same as Obama bowing before the King.He’s starting to get into creepily psychotic territory.I removed my LGF bookmark at that point.

As usual, you are right.

Ron Paul has as much to do with these Tea Parties as Ron Paul has credit with championing tax payer money.

Why not protest Ron Paul for wasting money on Wild Shrimp research?

The AP zeroing in on the kook paul crowd and the tax scam crowd was a predictible orwelliam goebles manuver on the media’s behalf.

Yes, because that is legally allowed. If you honestly believe he bought a new house and took a vacation in Aruba with the money, file an FEC complaint because that is highly illegal.

So one guy sees no signs and apparently that means no Ron Paul supporters were at any tea party anywhere?

Ron Paul supporters were staging tea party rallies in Boston back in December 2007.

That was not these tea parties, by the own report, that was his own political rally and part of his “money bomb”, highlighted by anti-Iraq war protesters, nothing like what you are seeing today. Funny though.. in Boston, they had 600 people show up.. wow, that is about half of what showed up today in our tiny town of under 100k. Just because he named that tea party, doesn’t mean the ones today had anything to do with him.

The 600 figure is just from the warehouse.

We can generate thousands of voters here in my Momma's basement. Super hi-tech duplicating device next to the day-old pizza.

lol, hello Lormand, good to see you again. :)

Ron Paul supporters will show up at tea parties if no one else will. Face it lormand, despite your intense personal dislike of Ron Paul’s (correct in my opinion) foreign policy, you must admit he is correct on domestic spending and taxes, a much more important issue. Foreign policy and military victories are a reflection of economic policy, not the reverse. A nation dies because of it’s butter is contaminated by socialism, not its guns (which are only reflective of its butter anyway).

I am always saddened at the hatred shown towards Ron Paul at such a “conservative” site as FreeRepublic. It tends to confirm my intermittent despair about any hope for our country in the future. The conservatives hate what Ron Paul believes in, which is small federal government, states rights, an end to the income tax, a strict constructionist reading of the Constitution, strong support of second amendment rights, traditional marriage and ending abortion. They call this insanity, crazy and kooky. Instead they would rather support the campaigns of the likes of McCain, who could show at best feeble support, and often none, for any of these principles. Oh well.

Over 1.1 million votes for Paul wasn’t too shabby.

It would not have been too shabby if any of those votes were from Republicans. They all came from democrats who thought hillary and obama were too conservative.
