KC Caucus SATURDAY 3/24 - Standing room only for Ron Paul in Kansas City Union Station

[Tinnuhana]

As a young married couple, the Pauls had collies.

Cool! More pics! I googled and saw a few mainstream articles about it. They're saying 2k and the other great thing is they are picking up on his saying we are slipping into facism and calling it a "bold" claim. That's good.

I wonder if the "Dogs for Ron Paul" sign is a jab at Romney.

Not necessarily.. Dogs have been for Ron Paul a lot longer than they've hated Mitt for strapping them to the roof of his car.

Those pics are just awesome! Paul looked really relaxed on stage and its good to see him smile, he looks like hes breaking out into a 'Doug Wead' style chuckle.

I'm confused on this one. Why Kansas City Missouri?

Didn't they already vote the other week?

Yes, and we need Ron to start making more bold claims to make the news - truth bombs! We are slowing slipping into fascism if not Hitler's socialism. Yep, the Nazis were SOCIALISTS. Haters of the free markets. Haters of a free people. Haters of capitalism. Sounds exactly like someone we have in the WH.

We got this on lock for sure after 20 more years

MO has a primary and caucus. The primary (which already occurred) has no relevance to how we award our delegates. Essentially, it is a straw poll. The Caucus is coming up on March 17th which will determine where our delegates go.

beautiful venue, great looking event!!

 

[PatriotOne]

I really like that they are using Aimee Allens Ron Paul song. It's a perfect mood setter for this type of event IMO. That event looked AWESOME.

I knew that the delegates would be chosen about a month later but I thought that was at a state convention. You mean Missouri has another voting day (caucus) that is separate from the state convention? UGH

How many states operate with a primary and caucus?

 

[cheapseats]

Techno-Retards like me routinely imagine that processes WE could never accomplish are EASY for them what have Skillz.

Cannot these well-populated rallies be LIVE-STREAMED to other venues? Are not Ron Paul Supporters sufficiently committed that they would suit up for a BIG SCREEN version of the man, PLUS real-time camaraderie with like-minded people?

Ron Paul drinks Fiji water

"you must spread some reputation around before giving if to roxic27 again."

Excellent pic! That's my favorite yet, even though Ron isn't in it. Great crowd shot, flag in the middle, prepping for a great speech, Fiji water? C'mon! It's got it all.

 

[rp713]

i've seen ron drink that cheap nestle water as well, he needs to stick with fiji, smart or vas(i think thats what its called).

 

[Captain Shays]

Well, Mark Levin says there's only a couple thousand of us, spamming polls from our mothers' basements. I guess he thinks now that we're following him around city to city, Greatful-Dead style. LOL

We must be rich, too, to get those money bomb results with just a couple thousand supporters.

There are a lot of similarities between Deadheads and Ron Paul supporters. In fact there should be a Deadheads for Ron Paul group.

Up close and personal... that's me in the black "Got Ron Paul?" hoodie.

what do you think the break down of the crowd was? Majority die-hard Paul fans? Libertarians/Freedom lovers showing support? Any undecideds?

I think even soft supporters and GOP regulars want to find out 'what this Paul guy is all about'. I know there's limited ineraction, but you get the gist.

Not sure I can accurately guess much at the breakdown. I would say it seemed there were a good number of soft support and undecideds. Reason I say that is that many people walking in were not super-friendly/excited/ready to meet any like mind that exists in the universe. In other words, it was more like a regular crowd at a concert than other Ron Paul events I've attended have been. A meetup at Murphys is a different crowd than this was. Lots of suits and families. Moms and Dads with teenage supporters. And apparently a Lincoln event next door? Didn't know about that until this thread, and perhaps that's the explanation for the groups of disgruntled kids leaving right when Ron went to speak.

It is brand new arrangement this year. the primary was completely meaningless, it was a head fake to peal off every single uninformed voter. there is no reason we shouldn't be able to rule the caucus.
