Texas Convention Report - Party leadership sends a spy to Ron Paul gathering

[Danke]

pull the plug on her cart next time

No, reverse the polarity.

 

[SnappleLlama]

No, reverse the polarity.

Two words: tire spikes.

LOL...j/k....I'm not sure having her around would be such a bad idea, especially if one of the speakers could call her out: "and it seems we have a special guest with us here today, taking copious notes on freedom and liberty..."

 

[pinkmandy]

Does nobody else find this incredibly funny?

If this fat old woman on an electric scooter is our enemies' best weapon - hell we dont have as hard of a fight as i previously thought.

I'm rolling...but agree w/Asgard on caution. I'm sure she wasn't the only one.

You can easily identify her because she is a large, rotund woman who rides around on an electric scooter chair.

TFF.

Updates on the credentials challenges: Benkiser is running the show right now with an iron fist.

Unseating her as permanent chair must be goal number one today.

Peaceful revolutions are won by making friends and influencing people, not by making enemies and deceiving them.

It's REAL HARD WORK and you have to TAKE A LOT of verbal abuse.... but a woman like this gal can be won over.

How to make a long story short... can't do it... regardless what follows is a "bad to good" success story concerning a similar woman up here in Missouri:

My first Ron Paul activist event in late December, I had the local police called out on me... at the end of the day I chaulked up the day as a success, heck as they in the Air Force, when taking a lot of flack... hey I must have been over the target.

Rudy came to town that day and about 20+ patriot supporters showed up and made a big scene, we sang and chanted, all in front of CNN's cameras. ( made a lot of great new friends too ) A Paul supporter rented a small conference room inside the hotel which gave all of us legal reason to enter the building wearing our Ron Paul shirts and carrying huge signs ( we could not wave them but we had them ha ha ).

Rudy was not popular in mid America and the GOP gave their interns the day off if they would drive up from the capitol and fill seats. Rudy showed up about 2 hours late, and instead of heading straight into the banquet hall to talk to the patiently waiting Missouri citizens, he instead pandered over to the CNN bus for a 25 minute interview with Blitz. I just thought that Rudy should have put the citizens of Missouri first, and did the TV interview later.

After the speach inside I had a video camera rolling and I was asking attendies if they were ok with the 2 hour wait and the additional 25 min wait while Rudy pandered to the CNN cameras? So I'm talking to a pair of exchange students, being cheerful, and out of no where this woman rushes over and demands that I leave these people alone. ( loud lady only heard half of my question and blew things way out of proportion ) and so I lower my camera and kept the audio running. This loud lady and I went at it talking about politics, and the loud lady was asked if she minded the wait, and I asked her the same question about having to wait twice, once for the delay, and twice for Rudy to put the TV cameras above the Missouri citizens. She says this to me: "We were told by our leaders to wait patiently, and we did what they asked like good Republicans."

I'm thinking I just scored the best soundbite of the year.... proof that the Republican voters are mindless sheep doing exactly as they are told. Half an hour later I'm on a couch near the door looking/listening over my excellant audio. The loud lady walks by me, asks me if I had her on film? I said I didnt' have her likeness, but I did have her audio. Wow she went off.... I wanted to avoid her so I quickly walked over to our rented hall where I have friends to help cool her jets. 5 minutes later she shows up with the local police demanding that I destroy the video.

Several cool heads in the Ron Paul room began to try to calm her down. I agreed to record over her comments. ( Man I wanted to post that audio on youtube with grazing sheep... I figured I'd have a million views ) So anyway I saw that the Ron Paul supporters had calmed her down and that they were beginning to tell her about Ron Paul's message. I then decided I'd take forever to find the correct spot on the tape, and record over it... taking lots of extra time and thus giving my pals more time to convert her.

After she and the police left, a pal told me that the loud lady goes to all political events and she's a staunch Republican, and that the loud lady is prone to confrontation.

3 months later I was maning a booth at Earth Day here in Columbia Mo... I had a simple easel with a very pithy quote of Ron Paul presented: and I barked out "Name the Author and win a Free Shinny Red Apple" ( very successful day might I add ) and anyway I was talking with a young teen trying to get thru to them, and I wasn't making the connection, when out of the blue there stands "Loud Lady" and she actually added positively to the conversation in support of the topic and in support of Ron Paul.

So there you have it.... One day I'm facing hand cuffs, and 3 months later I'm facing a new friend...!!!!! I got to tell you the work up front to be polite requires the patience of a saint (and it helps to hold your nose) and anyway things have paid off... Loud Lady has had her eyes OPENED... !

Gives one hope for tomorrow that people can see the light. Now to figure out how to wake up the Obama crowd... seems like they've been blinded with BS.

No, reverse the polarity.

Where is Geordi LaForge when you need him...


Dang! Looks like they got him locked up just to make sure we couldn't reverse the polarity and save the ship (ermmm, I mean convention)!

 

[rpfan2008]

I have to say that Tina Benkiser doesn't know squat about "spying" if she sent this very easily identifiable individual to the meeting. The best spies are people who blend in - you'd have to see their picture a thousand times before you could pick out even one identifying feature. Good espionage agents are that bland and anonymous and unmemorable.

you are right, she's 2000miles/150 lbs/ 60 inches / 1200 hrs away from being a good spy

 

[UtahApocalypse]

Why kick out the lady? way make a 'black list' of the neocon operatives? is that not the EXACT type of thing we are fighting? Invite them in, allow them to even join the discussion. Make it a kind and useful experience. We have to show that we are honest, open, and regular folk.

$100 to the first Ron Paulite who befriends Kathy Haigler and converts her to a strict constitutionalist.

+infinity Great job, great story, thanks

$100 to the first Ron Paulite who befriends Kathy Haigler and converts her to a strict constitutionalist.

Interesting, that would probably be among the best Franklins spent in the campaign...

If you're not guilty, then you have nothing to hide and you won't mind if we take a look at your membership records, search your home, slap a GPS transmitter on the underside of your car, and tap your phone.

I recommend that whoever wants to attempt this start with a box of donuts...

While you all are looking at the fat lady in the corner, who is more obvious that the proverbial "pink elephant in the room" - the real spy/shill etc.. is quietly and silently sitting among you.

Sometimes what is blatantly obvious, isn't.

Also - Bloomberg will be our president it seems. The one world government elite are moving their man into position.

IMHO - Stealth sux! It has just given people like this ammo against us. Peaceful revolutions are won by making friends and influencing people, not by making enemies and deceiving them.

Were these people ever willing to give up their power???
We won Louisiana fair and square, they broke FIVE of their own party rules to keep us shut out of their convention.
You make those statements without a sense of where we have been with these people.
Don't believe their bullshit. You were never welcomed to the table.
Of course we shouldn't use stealth, we should show up with a rope and tree and pitchforks!, say follow the rules or be removed.
We played by the rules and remained peaceful in Louisiana, we got nothing but disrespect and exclusion.

The mole in our coordination group was hard to pick out during the fight, its easy to know who it is now...
Being that we were very open and accepting people, we tolerate this instigator to the point that he made our lines of communication useless.
WE've had the same problem on this board, and its a common tactic our opposition uses to destroy opposition.
And some people wonder why SGP was so heavily scrutinized.
We had info his people were coming to our websites for the purpose of disruption.

Our enemy uses stealth all the time...

I am curious about your observation...

Here is a summation of how being forthright and honest, and playing by the rules, and winning... gets you no where when fighting a bunch of power hungry pirates who don't care, they aren't giving up their power to no one... no how.. no way.
