next week there will be tons of them and lots and lots of division. Everyone should get the word out about how divided the gop is. Remember, big problem, should gets lots of media coverage right? Spread it around.

6. The only way it will get coverage is if the Bush administration includes it in the talking points
to the MSM talking heads.

not bloody likely.

11. There's a ton of Ron Paul supporters here in TX
For fun I looked up my neighborhood to see who donated to what campaign and there were various Democratic primary candidate donations but only Ron Paul for republican donations. :rofl:

13. Maybe we should organize a PUMA...Ron Paul version.
...and feign outrage as a group of disgruntled repugs who feel left out, and refuse to accept he didn't win the nomination.


note for the quick to take offense: :sarcasm:

14. Alex Jones is the Paulies ersatz leader
Edited on Tue Aug-26-08 08:03 PM by arcadian
I hope every Ron Paul supporter in Saint Paul is just as crazy as Jones. Scratch that. Make that "crazy as Jones on Crystal Meth". Jones will be there too, oh, I can't wait, he's gonna whip those people up in a frenzy. :D

20. No...
Bob Barr and Lew Rockwell are their "ersatz" leaders.

Althougth that term isn't appliable to the Paulites; they are too damn smart and think for themselves.

You're not dealing with the Republicans here. You're dealing with very, very, very smart people.

And ultimately trying to use them either won't work or will come back to bite you in the ass.
