Paul Posse Threatens GOP Siege

By Jefferson Morley 05/21/2008 03:20PM

While Minnesota law enforcement is focusing on anti-war and leftist demonstrations at the Republican National Convention in St. Paul next September, Minnesota Monitor reports that another group of political activists are threatening disruptions: the Ron Paul gang.

Supporters of the libertarian congressman want their man to get an invitation for a primetime speaking slot at the GOP conclave. Their appeals to Maria Cino, chief of convention arrangements, are not subtle. Said one:

"We will converge on Minnesota regardless of whether you invite Dr. Paul, but we would prefer to stay in hotels and attend the convention as members of the Republican Party rather than stay at the YMCA and protest outside as disaffected ex-Republicans. The choice is yours."

How DARE you exclude Ron Paul from the convention. It is a SHAM. The entire Republican Party is GOING DOWN. Fellow Republicans say they’d rather NOT vote at all if they have to vote for McCain or would consider voting for Obama, only because he’s never had a chance to get in and screw up the country yet. “After all”, they say,”he’s NOT a Republican and that’s a GOOD thing”. ARE YOU ALL ON CRACK????
YOU HAVE NOTHING TO OFFER. NO ONE WANTS McSame McInsane. Or is it that you’ve all picked Hillary or Obama and no one wants to let the public know who was picked as president until election day? My Democrat friends say they’d rather switch IF the GOP had ANYTHING going for it except Bush’s 3rd term. Mark my words, the people, THE WORLD wants RID of the Republicans. Ron Paul is the ONLY one who would save your sorry asses. Oh and by the way, if you’re relying on the news media to accurately reflect the pulse of the nation, think again. It’s no more than a charrade. Too bad they’re not allowed to report what Americans REALLY think.

Way to go Sashia!!!
The time has come for a reckoning within the GOP. Neocons are bringing down this country with their plans for a North American Union! The American people are being strangled to death by taxation and if Neoconservatives have their way we’re in for a new one the carbon tax. There’s a long list of travesties.
Not only have Americans lost the right to exercise their constitutional freedoms by the rescinding of habeas corpus we now have to worry about Bush getting a wild hair up his ass and instituting martial law with the posse comitatus act being rescinded as well. Thanks to congress and the American people, spoon fed sheep who believe everything the media tells them, our president now has the same dictatorial powers that Henry VIII had.
Ron Paul is the only candidate talking about these issues. Ron Paul is the only one who cares about working Americans and their ability to stay a free people. Ron Paul is the only candidate who truly understands the economy and what needs to be done to stop the crash of the dollar.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH AMERICANS??? AND WHY DO THEY NO LONGER CARE ABOUT THEIR COUNTRY!?!?!?!
McCain, Obama and Hillary are all members of the Council for Foreign Relations. They are all bought and paid for.
Please do your homework and learn what’s really going on in this country.
If Ron Paul is excluded from the GOP convention then that is a direct contradiction of what has always made this country great. It’ s up to us, we can fight this people.

********************************ATTENTION ALL RP SUPPORTERS *************************

There is yet another moneybomb being readied for release to the RP 2008 supporters. This time we will be putting up 5mil $$$ of our money, not the campaign’s, in a challenge to the John McDumbass campaign for a one-on-one, mano-e-mano, no-holds-barred, nationally televised debate, on the Issues facing this country. This will be held at a neutural public forum, with no biased MSM commentator to rig, fix, slant or spin the content or questions or to unfairly “mis-distribute” equal time. The 5Mil will be deposited, in escrow, in advance with the only stipulation being that it be dedicated 50/50 to the United Childrens Fund & U.S. Military Veterans of the Middle Eastern Conflicts suffering from “Severe Brain Injuries & War Related Mental Issues”. Plain & Simple … all he has to do is show up, tell a few of his meaningless, war & fear mongering “Bushlike” fairytales and the money is his. Nobody is saying we have to stop at 5mil, either. We did 6.4mil at the “Tea PartyBomb”! Heel … if I had 10mil to give I would do so, willingly, just to see and hear RP shame this pathetic pussy to tears. Copy this notice and post it everywhere you can telling everyone to watch, look & listen for additional information and announcements about this event. How can McDipshyt refuse this challenge? This will, undoubtedly, be the turning point of this election. RP is the ONLY candi date in the race who can & will bring about the kind of REAL CHANGE our country must have to survive. Go and Spread the Word …. the Paulites Are Coming, the Paulites Are Coming! If anybdy knows how to contact Treavor or any of the other guys involved with the “Tea PartyBomb” make sure they see this too!!!

bullets cannot silence an idea whose time has come!

(Insert distraction here) Most Ron Paul supporters will never buy into this trickery, this 3rd party hijacking. Thanks Bush for the stimulas check, now I can afford to donate fat to the moneybomb. I will write in Ron Paul, there is no other worthy candidate.

I supported Ron Paul by voting for him, donating to his campaign, and spreading his message as far as I could.

With that said, if everything stays the way it is now, I will be voting for Obama in November.

I do not agree with Mr. Obama’s philosophy of government, and I think he will do much to put this country into dire financial straights. However, given the power that the president has, and the things that a president actually CAN accomplish on his own, I think Mr. Obama’s position on the war in Iraq and his promise to immediately begin drawing down our troops to put and end to the war will save this country far more money than anything John McCain can hope to accomplish by vetoing earmark spending where the funds have already been appropriated. Even if we did have the moral authority to conduct these sorts of military adventures (which we don’t) we simply can not afford it. If we are destined to bankrupt our country, and it looks like we are hell-bent on it, then we can at least bankrupt it with domestic spending instead of foreign wars of aggression. That way we have our troops at home, protecting our country instead of stretched thread-bare overseas.

WTF?!?!? Have you lost your mind?? The only way Ron Paul will win is if YOU VOTE FOR HIM!

I will not vote for anyone that represents everything that I stand against. Thats insane. The news media has brainwashed everyone. There’s meds in the water. For God’s sake, TAKE THE RED PILL not the blue pill..

What, I ask, you makes you think that Obama isn’t going to continue and/or escallate this war. He’s made it clear that NO options are off the table. Maybe you should spend a little more time researching.

Listen to what this guy has to say.

And then GO to Ron Paul’s web site www.ronpaul2008.com
and his myspace and keep up with current positions.

Response to mikek comment: You are sadly mistaken if you think that most of the troops are coming home when Obama is president….you seriously need to see this

Don’t betray the good doctor by voting for Obama, who is not endorsed by Ron Paul…a lot of people who voted for Bush in 2004 are now regretting that they voted for him….I wouldn’t want to feel like them by voting for Obama.

Ron Paul had some greeat ideas and I followed Bo Gritz and ROn Paul in 1992.. However, internet kiddie porn is not a good thing for a president hopeful to say he will allow.
McCain is the way.. and he is shunned by the GOP for quite a few things. Come on RP supporters, just look over McCain’s economic plan and tell me if ANYONE has better ideas.
Progressive Candidate John McCain comes through for America with his 3R economic plan. In the aura of Theodore Roosevelt, McCain’s plan just makes sense.

1. RETHINK: America must rethink the global views on what America is capable of in our current state of technology, engineering and the demands that face the world.

“RETHINK” in terms of re-action means to set forth this plan.

Most Americans know where the USA falls short in the ways of manufacturing and valuable jobs.
It’s time to meet the change of global demands with Made in USA quality and a new American workforce. Oddly enough, the framework is ready and waiting for this plan and active participation. The Progressive attitude of John McCain to get things done will resurrect America.

2. REFORM: America must rise to these demands and compete aggressively in a global economy. We must demand higher quality products and less restricted trade routes for Made in USA components.

“RE-FORM” is simple to comprehend as through John McCain’s Progressive attitudes, the USA will reform our manufacturing and hit it full steam ahead!

Made in USA has always meant highest quality products at moderate prices. The difference today is, we save loose change with Imported Chinese junk products, but few high paying jobs exist to do anything except buy the cheaper foreign-made products.

3. REINVENT: America and Americans must reinvent themselves to reach and maintain these standards and by sheer American ingenuity, control the world’s marketplace in the competitive manner, as we have always been proud to rule. Can you hear Theodore Roosevelt shouting this?

“RE-INVENT” is the exciting part of McCain’s 3R plan.

Americans in need of a future and without the desire, funding or free time to spend 2 to 8 years in college can go back to a re-invented manufacturing education. McCain’s formula allows these new students, young and old, to be paid a moderate paycheck while learning their new skills and leadership roles in hands on classrooms! Without costing taxpayers or the US government additional funds, we can literally change the face of America and the world.

Learning the skills required in order to become the American driving force behind new USA manufacturing boom, many Americans will also gain the skills to become the CEOs and leaders of their own USA Mfg arenas. Leading a group of people who love their new lifestyle is not difficult and Americans have been proving American ingenuity and leadership since Theodore Roosevelt’s Progressive Republican era.

Initial estimates of 1 in 5 students will go on to begin his or her own company and drive even more Americans into a viable lifestyle with real jobs, real benefits and a retirement to look forward to. Many students will combine forces and create successful joint ventures.

America has the means to follow through with John McCain’s 3R plan, ready and in place across the USA. The buildings we need sit vacant for the most part. America has millions of people screaming for new and improved jobs.

Senator McCain has provided the new guard for Social Security, the promise of retirement and the dreams that can be realized by Americans who would otherwise be lost or at the mercy of a dying workforce. This is the new workforce for American’s future.

By assuming leases on abandoned stores and factories across America with MC-3R schools and mini-manufacturing training centers, the USA made products can be sold and support the stores. Building owners write off the loss in taxes over a few years!

Although the thousands of new businesses manufacturing USA Made products is exciting enough, the real excitement comes from the massive amount of additional jobs that will be created to provide the new housing, new buildings, new parks, shopping, grocery stores, schools, government outlets and so much more.

The Key PROBLEM with the housing slump and the huge crude oil buy-out is not from greedy developers or greedy oil companies, but from the desire to locate and invest in the era’s best investments. Housing was #1 until the investment funds were pulled and crude oil took its place as a commodity. McCain will get us out of the mess that threatens the world’s economy.

These three R’s will be accomplished by the McCain express and through wealthy American entrepreneurs who were once able to invest in America’s manufacturing capabilities but have since fallen into investments that have caused catastrophic world economy failure.

McCain’s Progressive nature embodies Theodore Roosevelt more than any other US presidential candidate in history since.
We need John McCain to lead our nation.
