Is there any source for the Ron Paul campaign selling 4000+ tickets? I've been hearing it all day, but haven't seen anything official. Sure hope it's true!

I just love how Dr. Paul doesn't use scripted speeches.

I hope the "Ron Paul" X 10 crowd calm down while he talks. Pisses off non supporters.

No, it is Bachmann who just handed out her 4000th ticket per twitter. I think that is not true re: our campaign unless a ton were handed out today. I hope we have.

Ron Paul speaking in the background on MSNBC.

Yeah, but liberty can prep a bit. Sigh....

 

[Original_Intent]

Amazing! All of Ron's positions fit together into one INTEGRAL philosophy! He doesn;t have to hop around from one position to another - each position LEADS to the next.

AWESOME!

 

[Ireland4Liberty]

My god, this is shaping up to be his best speech yet!!

 

[flightlesskiwi]

he is the ONLY one being SPECIFIC!! notice that? not that it's new... but still.. he's so specific!!

'Life preceeds liberty...I'm here to protect life and I mean all life.'

Story contrasting an abortion with a premature birth. 'All life is precious.'

Life and liberty don't come from government, it comes from our Creator.

There are many ways you can protect liberty... One of the most atrocious positions this country can have is taking money from pro life people and funding abortions with it.

'I also think it's being strongly pro life if when those babies come to age they are never required to fight in unwinnable wars.'

'The PATRIOT Act is an attack on our liberties and the fourth amendment. It does not solve the problems it was designed to solve. You cannot defend liberty by taking liberties from the American people.'

'You never have to give up liberties to be safe.'

'We're into wars that are costing us trillions of dollars. Those trillions of dollars should have been left in the economy to create jobs and prosperity at home.'

'Today one half of the Christians have been run out of Iraq. The Iraqis are closer to Iran than they have ever been.'

+ REP!!! No captions on C Span for me.... thanks a million

I is scared, now Ron's on front of drudge if Bachmann wins.... argh....

I understand from twitter the support isn't there for Pawlenty though. I guess it went to Perry or Bachmann.

MSNBC airs all of the first speech and 2 minutes of Ron Paul and then cuts back to commericals and past video from earlier in the day..............FML
