there is no need to boo and waive signs. We need to be civilized and turn people on to us. When I left my senatorial convention, I saw a bunch of people who were supporting McCain, not because they were excited about him, but because they felt there was no choice.

The first thing we have to do is to present anti-McCain resolution with some heavy evidence of his un-Republican activities. Use McCain-Feingold, McCain-Kennedy, McCain-(insert another well known liberal here). His name has to bring liberal connotations in people's minds, like Barak Obama's name brings Osama to people's minds. We absolutely have to tell people that McCain is no more conservative then Hillary and somehow align his name with hers, which, I understand, is not that tough.....

In my opinion, this is the first and foremost resolution that has to pass. For there to be room for Ron Paul, the room occupied by McCain needs to be freed.

For those who disagree with Ron Paul only on his foreign policy stance, it would be great if they could read Michael Scheurer's new book about the war in Iraq. I heard him doing an interview with Michael Savage the other day, and of course, he agrees totally with Ron Paul. I think the book is called "Marching Towards Hell." At my local GOP there is a book table where they sell pertinent political books. If we could send copies of this book to the committee leaders, anonymously even, we may get somewhere...

Also, pushing the economy issue, and the dangers of an all-powerful Fed may get people to reconsider...Just some thoughts.

Yes we had far more success working within the party with respect and dignity than we have otherwise. That's not to say we have to be completely honest and reveal all our intentions, but we aggression and reluctance has not served us well.

This is not very logical. If they believe McCain is the only choice they won't support an anti McCain resolution. I really don't know what's the best plan but you also have to show them an alternative.

hey...... i can boo very respectively.........

i understand what yall are saying, of course.

but certainly we can come together on some type of rally- like a ron paul rally??

 

[Gadsden Flag]

Booing, waving signs and other forms of grandstanding/showboating may make you feel cool, but it is also the fastest way to not get anything done and ensure that no one listens to you.

 

[squandertime]

i move to have a ron paul rally through some visiable part of town- like the sam houston statue at herman park??

 

[bucfish]

McCain Never voted for a Tax Cut which is The BIGGEST Issue amongst Republicans that should be enough to sway those midless sheeple and sway some delegates OUR way! Remember Ron Paul never voted for a tax increase and Never met a Tax Cut he didn't like. Unless it had other strings attached.

I will be at the state convention. Squander is my meet-up leader so she already knows this story but it made my day. I will recap for the forum:

There were 6 people at my county convention and 11 spots for delegates to the state convention so I am going to state conv. It was a really good meeting and to make it even better on the way home I saw a truck with a Ron Paul bumper sticker and as usual I got next to the car to wave thumbs up and it was my county Republican chairman!!! We didnt mention Ron Paul at the meeting to eachother, but I pulled over at a gas station to talk to him more and he is very pro-Ron Paul. We both talked about voting for Ron Paul and how everything he says is happening (dollar destruction..etc) We talked about the unfair media and Ron Paul is the only one who makes sense!! He has been the chairman here for a long time. I am happy to report that not everyone is a neocon!

This is so cool. I love this when this happens.

Also, it's great that we're also picking up old loyal GOPers and that the movement isn't just a bunch of college kids giddy on promises, hopes and changes.

All state delegates please send me email so we can unify a strategy for the convention. We over took one of the most highly contested districts in Austin and that was due to our planning and strategy. We took over all the committee positions, the Chairmanship, Sargent of Arms, Parliamentary, and Secretary as well as the Nominations and Resolutions committee and probably sent close to 30 RP delegates to state. Austin has been the at the center of the RP revolution and we have some very knowledgeable, savvy and dedicated people that have been through this process before. We need to work together on a coordinated strategy to have the biggest impact as possible.

Just curious . . . do you want to make a noise or make a difference? Making noise is certainly exciting and a genuine adrenaline rush. But I think you would be pleasantly surprised to find out how much support you can muster from the so called "legacy" if you're interested in making a difference.
