And the moral of the story is: BRING YOUR UNDECIDED FRIENDS TO RON PAUL RALLIES.

This guy will probably agree with Paul's foreign policy in a few months since he'll want to learn more about the guy he supports. I was in a similar situation last year. Even though I didn't agree with Paul's foreign policy, I felt that we wouldn't be able to defend ourselves anyway when we're bankrupt. I changed my mind on foreign policy though when I actually listened to him.

Love ya, Ms./Mr. Bounding!

You are correcto. It's going viral as of now with 800 FB shares and 28 Tweets. http://www.sodahead.com/united-stat...texas---shares-his-reaction/question-2587931/

You can thank me later.

I believe the word this former Santorum supporter was looking for is 'quixotic'.

He was refrencing Don Quixote. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Quixote

People have compared Ron Paul to Don Quixote on a crazy quest, "tilting at windmills"..

Oh I know... just making fun of the MSM's 'Ron Paul is quixotic' meme.

This makes me have hope that hearts and minds can be changed in Tampa, it's going to be a crazy convention unlike anything ever seen before. For those of us watching these caucus convention results roll in....Romney is not going to have an easy coronation in Tampa like McCain did in 2008.

And to think it's only April! I hope the MONEYBOMB tops our expectations tomorrow...

Santorum Supporter attends his first Ron Paul rally in Ft. Worth

As posted on Tom Davis's facebook page (he's on fire today!):

A Rick Santorum supporter attends his first Ron Paul rally. Here's part of what he said, though his entire post merits reading:

"What undulated through the thousands who thronged outside before the doors opened last night was a kinetic power, the power of hope, the power of liberation, the power of anger at a system turned upside down, the power of liberation and, yes, the ultimate and emancipating power of freedom. You had to be there to understand it."

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some gems I noted in his article:

Once inside, for the only time in my politically active life, I was
transported to a world I had not seen before. There was enough energy in
that room to power a skyscraper. Teenagers, college students, whites,
Hispanics, African Americans, Asians, middle-aged, elderly, every
racial, ethnic, socio-economic, cross cultural ingredient of the
American melting pot was there.

While I didn’t find much to cheer about on the foreign policy portion of
his speech, it is on domestic policy that I find much agreement with
Ron Paul. In fact, he could have lifted whole tracks of his speech from
my book, Common Ground America. Foreign policy, while a crucial element
of any president’s agenda, has slowly shifted from my center of
attention to domestic policy, I having long come to the conclusion that
the greatest threat to American freedom comes not from foreign
governments, but from our own.

I'd like to keep this on the front page until it becomes no longer relevant.

Great vid. Spam it on twitter with hash tag #inCollege for maximum exposure.

Y'all should understand this is not just "a Santorum supporter", this is one of the two guys that started the 912 group in Tarrant County, and one of the most persistent faces in local politics from that group. Our Tea Party / 912 here was not "co-opted" by the party establishment like happened elsewhere, they've stayed reasonably independent of that and have worked with us on a lot of local stuff and state stuff. They just haven't been with us on national stuff, particularly foreign policy. He was the candidate from that group for our county party chair in December, but dropped out when he was coming in third and threw his support behind our candidate, who won on the next ballot. We wouldn't have won without their help.

On one hand, one vote is one vote, but on the other hand, he definitely brings a lot locally with him that we're going to be glad to have with us.
