Paul volunteers take pride in making their own rules. "Authority," said one young man at the start of the Pasadena meetup, "will never be true."
Paulites also don't hesitate to criticize the candidate's small professional campaign staff, as evidenced last week when many followers flamed fundraising director Jonathan Bydlak. The protesters, calling Bydlak an "idiot," among other things, said his demand for immediate contributions would steal attention from the Tea Party event.
LOL! Hey Ron Paul campaign staff, "OUT OF OUR WAY!" :)

Free Republic Ron Paul Ping List: Join/Leave |
I think Howard Dean was once an unlikely phenomenon and an internet sensation. I think Howard may also have been a bit of a media creation, and at leat Ron Paul can't make the same claim.
Otherwise, I suspect Paul will make it about as far as Dean did.
Imagine Ron Paul's supporters at every major port tossing whole crates of tea into the water. That'd wake up a few more folks to the reality
..the Paul chapters are "completely decentralized," according to Kerri Price, a Paul spokeswoman.
Well that just doesn't work for Republican 'faithful'. They have to have their candidate to tell them what to do. Isn't that how it's supposed to work? Until Dr. Paul's campaign unfortunately that's what it had become..
I wonder what percent of Ron Paul supporters would be willing to support the eventual GOP nominees. If the answer is significant then the GOP really ought to try to keep them because they have and energy and a creativity that is usually missing.
His rant against the Iraq war and then the Vietnam war during the debates sealed his image as a nonmilitary, non-tactician twit and got well-deserved boos from the audience.
Worst of all, he tries to pass himself off as a conservative. Conservatives fight for their country - or at least keep their mouths closed about other people's sacrifices.
