Come again. Seems like Paul is trying to turn McCain Delegates into Ron Paul Delegates. How is He gonna manage this?? Me no comprehenda.

Larry Mohr

I don't think that Ron Paul ever officially quit the race. I am sure his supporters are trying to get some delegates from other candidates who quit the race. Even Romney who asked his delegates to support McCain can't force them to do so.

Stay tuned and find out Larry.

Wow this is confusing Me. Ok I will stay tuned. Hope it doesn't hurt My head too much.

No comprendo! Es muy loco en el cabaza.

Or if you preffer, This fucktard is nuts. (Loco en la cajones-Simone Senor?)

Larry, your evolved from a rock, from the big bang. I don;t blame you for being stupid and not getting it. Your a democrat. Another word for democrat is stupid.

They invented the "I am with Stupid" t-shirts because of democrats.

Did you know that fact?

LOL SEE YOU IN DENVER

That said. It would be great to see the "Paulites" pull off some sort of upset at the convention. I don't think it will happen though. A year ago, I had some optimism. It was a little misguided though.

Sadly, this country isn't ready for real change.

That means no Ron Paul. No Barrack Obama. No Hillary Clinton. More wealthy white men looking out for other wealthy white men while feeding us our daily helping of horse shit.

Well, at least he is not a left-wing Global Warmingist like McCain't. McCain't is no Conservative. No wonder they were pressuring Barr not to run.

RP's supporters are embarrassingly revolting?

Naw, just a little insane.

Grab your musket, time for a revolt!

Larry would you agree with me that KUMA has earned the title of "Dumbest Poster Ever" award or would you have other nominees for the honor???

"...feeding us our daily helping of horse shit."

Mmmmmmmmm... Horse shit...

Me gusta mucho!

If you think Hillary or Barrack would change anything, you are one of the many who's consuming far more than his "daily helping of horse shit."

Only five percent of colonists supported moving away from England. WE ALL KNOW WHAT THE EVENTUAL OUTCOME WAS. A revolt against Republicrats (the current Republican and Democratic fuckups and establishment is IN ORDER for the great cause of our individual liberty and freedom). GO AHEAD SAY IT AIN'T SO AND JUSTIFY WHY IT ISN'T.

"Dumbest Poster Ever"

Danni's tenure must be up. She's passing the crown.

RON PAUL Kicks ASS!

Stick it to those charaders Ron, its our country!

So Ron Paul is our Hillary Clinton? Got to make all those Ron Paul supporters proud...

We had elections, Ron Paul didn't come close to winning... how about respecting the outcome of the election Ron and tell your supporters they're not helping.

A revolt against Republicrats (the current Republican and Democratic fuckups and establishment is IN ORDER for the great cause of our individual liberty and freedom).

maybe instead of plotting revolutions, Ron Paul should have put out some campaign ads to get his name out there. He was raising more money the John McCain by far, but I honestly can't remember seeing one commercial for him... in fact in all of Jersey and Pennsylvania all I've ever seen is a handful of signs and the occasional bumper sticker.

WTF? Where'd the money go?

In all due respect Rob it's the start of a necessary movement. For your sake, your children and grandchildren....read REVOLUTION, A Manifesto by Ron Paul. Besides it pisses off the dope NULLandVOID. Hehehe.

In Michigan there was lots of Radio and mailers, some TV and a lot of grass roots.

"We had elections, Ron Paul didn't come close to winning... how about respecting the outcome of the election Ron and tell your supporters they're not helping."

Gee Rob, I don't remember you saying that about Joe Lieberman. I must have missed that post.

This is a bit odd, Rob, but in the areas around here, the only signs and stickers I saw for a Republican candidate was for Paul. Nothing for McCain, Romney, Huckabee, at all. Only Paul. Now, that may be due to the area (urban craphole that Reading is), but still it makes me wonder.

No matter. I don't like it, but I am getting used to saying President McCain. And I'll be keeping my head down, so when the populace of the nation starts killing each other over ideology, I can go about my business and perk up when it's over and the reconstruction begins.

I'd have voted Paul in an instant. Now I'll be writing myself in.

" can go about my business"

Ha....if you elect McBush you won't have a business or a job. Take it to the place where there used to be a bank.

In all due respect Rob it's the start of a necessary movement.

Maybe, but why try to blow up our chances in November?

First and foremost I think this will really hurt Ron Paul. There was a Primary season, elections were held, they were fair and accurate and he lost. To come to the convention with his supporters whining and crying isn't going to help. He had millions and millions of dollars, raised money better then any of them and yet didn't even campaign... so naturally he lost.

If he wants to change things, why not get on board with McCain... McCain would be wise to make him his VP with the money and support he has... then he could drive his movement better. He'd have name recognition, power, and a podium.

Danni, that 11:24 post is very shallow (gee I've never been shallow on the DR) as the elected Republicrat (both parties are very close to one and the same)will be our next President and they won't address the base problems.

Gee Rob, I don't remember you saying that about Joe Lieberman. I must have missed that post.

Danni, Ron Paul is perfectly free to run as an independent as Joe Lieberman did.

Lieberman didn't show up at some DNC convention crying that he should be the nominee even though he lost... he just said, "Fine I'll run as an Independent." And he won... if Ron Paul can pull that off, then great... more power to him.

McCain won't take RP as VP. Paul individually has no future. He is educating a new generation that will throw away our corrupt and ignorant "leaders" (both Dem and Repub, imho). They know the establishment must be bucked to get real change.

Danni, responding to your:

Ha....if you elect McBush you won't have a business or a job.
I am well aware of that. The same will be true of either Clinton or Obama. I'm sca-rooed regardless. As are we all, though it appears many do not seem to realize this. It just the particular flavor of sca-rooed, you see.

This is all very interesting in the long-term. I think its just a resurgence of the Perot phenomenon....

Ron Paul is a boil on the butt of the American people. He just needs to be "lanced", drained and a band aid put on the bad spot.

Bye, Bye---Bye, Bye!

McCain won't take RP as VP.

Not when he hears that RP supporters are going to try to take over the convention, or that RP has yet to endorse McCain...

If he told his supporters to cut the shit, and said McCain is the nomminee and he supports him then I think McCain would consider him... he'd be stupid not to.

NO KEITH, RP is a boil on the butt's that are our current Dem and Repub "leaders". He is a MAN OF THE PEOPLE.

RIDEON and LETUSREASON I beg to differ. The reason that the economy is in the toilet is the tax cuts for the rich. Both Dems will let them expire, McBush wants to make them permanent. Don't believe me read Lincoln Chafee's of-ed. That is the MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE today other that the war. People don't realize how pulling 1.5 trillion dollars out of the government has inflated our money then add to that the .5 trillion thus far spent in Iraq and you have2 trillion, then add the ongoing costs of the war you have another 2 trillion. Our dollars will be worth pennies under McBush.

McCain could never have chosen RP due to his Iraq war stance.....and you know it. I do agree that McCain would be stupid not to consider RP and I don't think he would have no matter what. imho.

Danni, it's not about the tax cuts for the rich. It IS however about the spending. But, you'll never learn or be convinced.

Danni, our dollars will be worth pennies under any "mainstream current Republicrats (Dems/Repubs).

Gotta run. Danni, you have a desire and inate nature telling you RP is correct...congrats for hanging around the RP threads.

McCain could never have chosen RP due to his Iraq war stance.....and you know it.

Even with his Iraq war stance, I think he could still pick Ron Paul... a way of balancing out his ticket and prove to the people that McCain does want to end the war in Iraq. I just think it would be smart if the two came together... Paul would have a victory in many ways (First and foremost when people say, "Ron Paul," the answer could never be, "Who?") and the GOP would likely win in a landslide.

RP as VP? How stupid would that be? (sings, don't it?)Would 1% of his 5% vote for McMoreofthesame. And how many GOPpers would vote for a man who slams their Godlike President's Glorious Crusade and their sanctified party.

On second thought, GO RP for VP!! Of the GOP!

Rob, I hope you are correct. RP may not suffer from this as it shows the tenacity and genuine yearning of his supporters in reference to the message (hence, there is an enthusiastic base to tap...but the message is necessary and bigger than RP himself). I think we have some very basic problems and RP doesn't mince words about what needs to change (and sooner before it's too late) imho. Plus, his voting history is very clean to his message of Constitutional guidance.

NG3....lockstep with your GOD LIKE DEMS.

"Paul would have a victory in many ways (First and foremost when people say, "Ron Paul," the answer could never be, "Who?") and the GOP would likely win in a landslide."

Plus, McCain could kick the bucket.

Ron Paul would never endorse McCain because he has something no other candidate does - integrity.

I thought you were gonna say hepatitis

Ride On-do you seriously expect RP or the GOPpers in general do do anything different than what they've fervently supported for the last 8 years?

RP has sold $35 million worth of snake oil to the Libertoonians if he even shows up on the same stage with JM.
Of course, his plan to use taxpayer underwritten political donations to start a private business is pretty oilly to begin with. He sure didn't spend all that money speaking out boldly about his campaign, did he?

RP has two choices if he has integrity-run as an independent or stfu but sit as an Independent Congressman.. I'm guessing he goes for door 3-back to being a whiny little GOPPer but diving in the pork barrel like the rest.

North, regarding:

You have evidence to support this allegation? I'd like to see it.

Ron Paul should have considered running on the libertarian ticket. There is no way he will ever get the Republican nomination. Everyone knows that - other than him. Now he might have missed the libertarian boat as Bob Barr seems to be the frontrunner there.

McCain will choose Mike Huckabee as his running mate.

"Danni, it's not about the tax cuts for the rich. It IS however about the spending. But, you'll never learn or be convinced."

That's like saying a person who is broke is broke because they spent all their money but ignoring the fact that they didn't earn any money.
The balance sheet doesn't care from which direction it is approached the balance still reflects the difference between income and outlay.
It is Congress's job to determine what is worthy of spending and what is not and then to raise the amount of revenue to pay for it. Unfortunately Republicans won't eliminate spending or raise taxes. At least Democrats are willing to raise the taxes to pay for the spending they authorize.

"McCain will choose Mike Huckabee as his running mate."

There have been hints. Probably a good choice for him. Not the worst human being on the planet though I disagree with much of what he advocates.

Letus: There was a Drudge posting on it.

www.chron.com

Either Huckabee or Romney.

But I like what RP is doing, you don't get change by going third party, because they never get voted in. So you have to change one of the two parties that get voted in from the inside. This appears to be what's being attempted.

I have a sneaking suspicion that the RNC will take action to prevent any disruption. Remember the Bush campaign even required loyalty oaths from supporters to get into rallies. The Republican Convention will be quiet, peaceful and boring.

tadowe would have been my first choice, but delusional paranoia is not the same as stupidity.

Another borrow and spend Republican. remember when the GPPpers wanted to change the Constitution for this guy?

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger will propose borrowing against future state lottery revenue to help close a budget shortfall estimated as high as $20 billion, administration officials told The Associated Press.

In a revised budget to be released Wednesday, Schwarzenegger will propose raising $15 billion over three years by selling bonds based on anticipated lottery revenue, then use about $5.1 billion of that for the coming fiscal year to help erase the deficit, the officials said Tuesday.

The other $10 billion would be left in a reserve fund the Republican governor wants to create as part of a budget reform proposal. It would be intended to ease the effect of year-to-year revenue fluctuations.

The way that I heard it, the Paul supporters were going to force the GOP to nominate only an intelligent candidate. If the head people agree to this then the convention will end in three hours without nominating anyone.

I predict McCain's VP nod will go to Portman of Ohio. Paul's just making noise to wrangle a cabinet position or some ambassador gig.

Unfortunately it took segregationist Governor Wallace to reveal the truth that "there's not a dime's worth of difference between" Republicans and Democrats. The Democrats willingly went along with the War in Iraq, suspension of Habeas Corpus, detaining protesters, banning books like America Deceived (book) from Amazon, stealing private lands (Kelo decision), warrant-less wiretapping and refusing to investigate 9/11 properly. They are both guilty of treason.
Support Dr. Ron Paul and save this great nation.

"Support Dr. Ron Paul and save this great nation."

Ron Paul is not the only one in Congress who opposed those things and some of the others aren't crazy.

I think McCain is waiting for Hillary to bow out of the Democratic race so he can ask her to be his VP running mate.

Thinking. Not your strong suit, is it, DZAKINS?
