I may have to take up gambling. I'm loving these guys!
Will Ron Paul Really Crash the Republican Party?
Ron Paul must feel unloved these days, like a red-headed step child, only he's a 70-something grey haired man. Amy Lorentzen of the Associated Press rub salt following the dissing (a word acceptable by Paul supporters) of Ron Paul by the Iowa Christian Alliance and the watchdog group Iowans for Tax Relief. All other Presidential hopefuls have been invited....but not poor Ron Paul.
Look on the bright side, it's not as if the Playboy Mansion is hosting this event and the Playboy Bunnies have shunned Mr. Paul.
Okay, he's been shunned by self-appointed messengers of God. It can't get much worse. But leave it to Ron Paul to devise a unique way around this debacle.
But alas, Lorentzen lashed out at the idea that Paul would be there in more than spirit. He'll be hosting his own forum in the same building at the same time.
"The Associated Press can now add dictionary mangling to their list of accomplishments and continues to prove that the mainstream media is biased, manipulative, and attempting to take over the democratic process in this country," comments Attorney Jennifer Reynolds, who has contributed articles to the Gambling911.com website. "Once again, Ron Paul is hit with a news article that twists the truth and attempts to disparage him.
"Here is the AP article as posted by a prominent news channel with a nasty little headline: The first line that Amy Lorentzen of the AP writes: 'Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul will add party crashing to his campaign tactics this weekend.'
"If you bother to read the rest of the article, you will see that is not at all what is happening. Ron Paul is not crashing anything. He will not attend a party to which he has not been invited (the definition of party crashing) instead, he is simply holding his own party after being wrongly excluded from a Presidential Forum held by the Iowans for Tax Relief and the Iowa Christian Alliance that invited every candidate who has taken part in the debates except him.
Instead of staying home, Ron Paul decided to hold his own party and is hosting an event after the "other" forum is over. He is celebrating life and liberty and giving free food to the first 500 attendees, according to those close to the Paul campaign.
"Ron Paul is a presidential candidate who is campaigning. Since when did that become party crashing?" asks Reynolds. "Or is it that what the AP and others now call it when someone is involved in this race and who they don't want to win? Perhaps Ron Paul should be flattered. His "non-existent" overwhelming Internet support seems to have someone frightened."
That Internet support can be vouched for by Gambling911.com, which has Paul the most "inquired about" candidate mentioned on its website. A recent piece by Reynolds managed to hold its own against the 5.8 million hits the site received over the past three days, ranking among the top 10 most read articles. Last month, Sportsbook.com Online Gambling slashed Ron Paul's odds of becoming the next US President from 200 to 1 to 15 to 1 in just a two week period.
"For the record, Sportsbook.com didn't think much of Ron Paul either," jokes Carrie Stroup, a reporter for Gambling911.com, who covers the political betting spectrum. As an exclusive representative of the Sportsbook.com brand, Stroup has monitored that company's political odds closely for Gambling911.com. "They (Sportsbook.com) did not even list Ron Paul among the field of candidates to bet on. Finally, when we at Gambling911.com began focusing on the Paul campaign, Sportsbook.com - at my behest - opened odds on Ron Paul at 200 to 1. Needless-to-say, the money started coming in, enough so that Sportsbook.com had to slash their odds fast."
Stroup admits there are a few people at Sportsbook.com, specifically their oddsmaker and the owners, who are probably crossing their fingers that Ron Paul does not win.
"Actually deep down in their hearts they want him to win since Ron Paul is pro-online gambling but deep down in their pockets, Sportsbook.com would stand to lose a few hundred thousand dollars on some of the initial bets that came in."
That's because even a meager $100 donation towards the Ron Paul odds of 200 to 1 would pay out $20,000!
Reynolds believes that Sportsbook.com customers may be among the most astute.
"One of the greatest aspects of the Ron Paul campaign is that is has exposed so many treacherous acts that are taking place in our country and the need to wake up and stop being herded like sheep. We have the Internet and we are not going to take it anymore! Give me truth or shut up and get out of the room! Sportsbook.com's customers have spoken and they've placed their money on Ron Paul to win evidently."
