More people showed up to see Ron Paul than turned up at the GOP convention?

[DainBramaged]

Is that true? Tuesday night? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH McInsane is just fucked, I don't care if the Tundra Troll is along for the ride.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

1. I thought about going to the Ron Paul convention. I figured it would be a good time.

There are more Ron Paul signs in Texas than McCain signs.

[truthisfreedom]

2. I believe the expected turnout was indeed higher than the RNC.

And for what it's worth, "caribou barbie."

[LibDemAlways]

3. I still see more Ron Paul than McCain stickers on cars in

my So Cal area. McCain stickers are, in fact, very rare. Lots of Obama though.

[DainBramaged]

4. I think the GOP is trying to ignore Ron Paul, but they are in BIG trouble

Jesus, 15,000 people for a rally in Minnesota? McSame is toast.

[crimsonblue]

6. I have a McCain sticker

then again, above it , it says "Bush's third term"

[Arugula Latte]

22. This summer we drove around a good chunk of Oregon (lots of rural areas)

I saw one McCain bumpersticker, no McCain yard signs, several Ron Paul signs/stickers, one Hillary Holdout House (Hillary stuff prominent everywhere in their yard in a very rednecky area -- interesting), and lots of Obama support in the Willamette Valley and some on the coast (and of course you can't look anywhere in Portland without seeing Obama support).

But, anyway, yeah -- Ron Paul seems way more popular than McCain with the rural folks here.

23. Last winter we were visiting relatives in a Las Vegas

suburb and Ron Paul yard signs, bumperstickers, and billboards were abundant. He really struck a chord with the libertarian types.

[Raine]

5. Ron Paul's was certainly more enthusiastic

I don't know if it had more people but they were really having a good time. I watched it on CSPAN2, they went after both parties but they went after the RePUKES with a vengeance. :bounce:

[DainBramaged]

8. If we draw off just 5% of the Puke voters from McSame, we're ok.

Hell, 3% between him and Bob Barr.

[eshfemme]

7. Yes, TPMTV (YouTube channel) did a little bit on this

Here's the videos.

[DainBramaged]

10. Those are just great LOLOL

more people are in Grand Central Station Right Now (5 AM) than were at the GOP convention.

[SoCalDem]

9. Could that be true? I heard that he had about 10K..

did the repubes ever tell what their turn out was? I remember reading about all the ones who chose not to attend, but I never heard anyone say how many did..

[Why Syzygy]

11. I heard 10,000 at the "alternate" Republican convention.

This is not being reported. All the fracas about Democratic unity and the Republicans have ZERO.

[DainBramaged]

12. I would LOVE Blitzo or Tweety to ask McSame's campaign director about this

and watch his head explode.

[Why Syzygy]

14. Every time the freakpublicans say

"liberal media", I feel like snapping. Head explosion. That has to be their biggest tell that they are nothing more than scam not so good artists.

[DainBramaged]

20. Did you say exploding head?

[ColbertWatcher]

13. Do you have a link? n/t

[DainBramaged]

15. Yup

Call it the real Republican convention.

At least that is how Ron Paul, a US congressman for Texas, and his supporters billed their campaign's Tuesday night "rally for the republic", in which they called on the party to "return to its roots".

From the looks of it, Paul, who suspended his campaign for the Republican nomination in June, could almost be accepting the party's presidential nomination himself.

Almost 15,000 people came from all over the country to hear him speak.

Paul, who spoke at the gathering on Tuesday night, was joined by an ensemble of right-leaning politicians, thinkers, artists and media personalities, from US television host Tucker Carlson to Jesse Ventura, the former Minnesota governor.

Their problem? Ventura, a former pro wrestler put it quite simply: "Both parties are destroying our country."

[ColbertWatcher]

25. That only shows how many saw Ron Paul, how many were at the RNC? n/t

[DainBramaged]

26. They haven't announced

[Virginia Dare]

16. He said 12,000 on Glenn Dreck this morning...

also said he was not in negotiations with McCain, that one representative from his campaign tried to throw him a bone and he told them to go pound sand.

[DainBramaged]

17. Good, let's see them drain off the nutcases from McGramps

[maseman]

18. Is there a link to this??

[DainBramaged]

19. See post #15 (sigh)

[AuntPatsy]

21. Here in Texas, I have not seen one mccain sticker, ron paul is all I have noticed for months now..

in talking republicans.

[DainBramaged]

24. They shall reap what they sow, they want to ignore the disgruntled true base

like we did to Nader in 2000, they shall see the protest vote lose them the election.
