Minnesota State Convention was rigged

Eagle's Nest Blog Update - Laments the GOP's Alienation of "Paulites"

Thanks! I like that guy, and I think there's a lot more within the GOP like him - GOP regulars who are pissed off at the way the GOP establishment is trying to run things which is shrinking and destroying the party. He gets it, and I think many others are starting to. There will be a flood of people like him in November.

I like him, too! (I bookmarked his blog.) I certainly hope you're right on that last point!

Is Minnesota a Swing State?

Look at the ages and passion that those in the crowd waiting for Obama. They demonstrate just how energized their side feels for their candidate. Where in the MN GOP do we see that sort of passion and excitement? Oh wait, we saw that in the Ron Paul people. Youthful exuberance and passionate dedication to work hard for a candidate, but "these people" were not welcome last weekend at Rochester. Now granted there are some weird people associated with the Paulite's, but I could say the same thing about some of the establishment GOP folks as well. Every candidate had an extreme element or two. That went for the Democrats also.

The big difference is that the MN GOP did everything they could to demonize the Paulite's and make them enemy number one. That seems to be the mode of operandi for the MN GOP lately. They have to have an enemy to belittle and marginalize to keep their power base frightened like heck so they will do the establishments bidding.
