Yes, Paulites, stand up against the oppresors! Show them you won’t be silenced by the GOP establishment. You will be heard!
According to a recent Boston Globe tally, Paul has a grand total of 19 Republican delegates to Romney’s 260, Huckabee’s 286 and McCain’s 1,413.
In the last three months, Paul’s forces, who donated $34.5 million to his White House effort and upward of a million total votes, have, as The Ticket has noted, been fighting a series of guerrilla battles with party establishment officials at county and state conventions from Washington and Missouri to Maine and Mississippi. Their goal: to take control of local committees, boost their delegate totals and influence platform debates.
Paul, for instance, favors a drastically reduced federal government, abolishing the Federal Reserve, ending the Iraq war immediately and withdrawing U.S. troops from abroad.
They hope to demonstrate their disagreements with McCain vocally at the convention through platform fights and an attempt to get Paul a prominent speaking slot. Paul, who’s running unopposed in his home Texas district for an 11th House term, still has some $5 million in war funds and has instructed his followers that their struggle is not about a single election, but a long-term revolution for control of the Republican Party.
Remember guys, make lots and lots of noise in prime time. Make sure those TV cameras see you and make sure you’ve got your talking points down about how the Republican party has failed you and America.
Republica-rmeggedon.
Between this and the Bob Barr candidacy.
Sweet.
Limpballs is trying to incite riots at the Democratic convention yet it looks like their own convention is going be a party all by itself.
Popcorn, anyone?
