We Are The Future Rally - live updates and discussion thread

[newbitech]

I hope the delegates have some success, in whatever it is they can do at the convention, and again...the delegates for RP did their jobs, and what was asked. The campaign did not.

that's all good and everything, and i agree with parts of your sentiment, but after speaking with several of the delegates last night and seeing how the campaign has organized them and provided them with ammunition, I don't think you speak for them in regards to their relationship with the campaign.

I just watched Dr Paul last night and again this morning and we need him as our president. We are at a cross roads in this country and we need to make the right choice or else we will be doomed. Maybe not today or in the next 4 years, but soon. I am a little upset with some Dr Paul supporters because some of them are going to back Gary Johnson and/or Virgil Goode and that will hurt Dr Paul and America. We all need to stand behind Dr Paul and write him in if we have to. Please, guys, don't abandon ship.

Is there an official RNC thread?

 

[Elwar]

good. the pictures we had must have been during the less popular speakers, some of whom kind of deserved it, frankly....

Ya, there was a whole section that was empty throughout most of the rally. That section was reserved for the delegates and they were hanging out above that section eating and drining in the VIP club. When Ron Paul spoke they all came down to sit. It was packed.

 

[muzzled dogg]

It was not packed the whole top stage left was empty even during Ron

How does that work in the real world? LOL...seriously, it was a big WTF moment for me.

With no regard for the proper growth development of the baby in vitro. What a bogus solution that takes no account of the welfare of the child as though it was a mere tampon. It is still a sociopathic view of the unborn child which offers it no humanity nor mercy. This is not merciful. It is pure selfish lifestyle greed by the mother. Keep her frikkin' legs closed for fuxaches..don't take your mistake out and make the payor of your debt be on a new arrival to the 3D laboratory Universe.

C-section or induced birth that doesn't use chemicals to kill the baby in the womb. Babies have been kept alive as early as 20 weeks by artificial means, and technological advances will enhance that further.

Yeah. That is really healthy and a humane way of dealing with it allowing full and proper development of a human being. We won't have any issues with their health that society will become responsible for..will we??? It will all work out automatically just like a manufacturing plant. If it is defective then just get a refund. hell ... it ain't nothing but product...and it had the temerity to be bothersome..

[Revolution9]

Pro-life groups, that currently spend hundreds of millions of dollars for political and gravy train purposes, for one.

You seem to relish the idea of handicapping a human in their first experiences on this planet. Technology rules? Like the borg perhaps?

Right...that was the section reserved for the delegates. Many were sitting at tables up in the "lounge" area watching. Doug Wead explained to us why there was a big empty section there while we had friends texting us from outside wanting to come in. I am not sure how many people were in the overflow at the baseball field.

There was certainly room up where I was near the roof in the bleachers. But they likely reached capacity.

This event was phenomenal! It would've been better if it was a few hours shorter and a few boring speakers shorter, but overall the 6-7 hour wait to see Dr. Paul speak was worth every minute!

 

[muzzled dogg]

Pretty sure Doug wead was talking about the empty seats on the floor and the lower section

Entire sections of cheap seats at the top were empty. My friend Nga went back to her car to get the 40 foot Rp sign to cover some of one empty section

I saw a picture with that in it and a couple of people sitting beside it!

The hurricane warning couldn't have helped, and with all that has been going on morale has been low.

Still, media reports are reporting when Ron spoke he had 10,000+ people there, whereas Bachmann and Cain had 'hundreds' across town, so I still think it was a decent turn out. I understand there were people in the baseball stadium overflow too, propbably ones who gave up on the line into the Sundome.

I'll have photos up from the entire rally up as soon as possible.

Photos I took from the photo line at Whiskey Joe's are up at http://flickr.com/ronpaul

Blues Traveler Frontman Shares His Libertarian Views
http://reason.com/24-7/2012/08/27/blues-traveler-frontman-shares-his-liber

Blues Traveler’s harmonica-wielding frontman John Popper visited Fox & Friends in Tampa Monday morning, where he talked about his libertarian views and his issues with Barack Obama, as well as with the two major parties.

Popper had performed at Ron Paul’s rally Sunday night, and shared that, while he’s always been a libertarian and is generally a fan of Paul, he does disagree with him on certain issues, namely foreign policy and abortion.

What, is he one of those Dondero "libertarians?"

It was a long weekend for many of us. Two days of P.A.U.L. Fest and then pretty much the whole day Sunday. And I did it all at home.

I was worn out but it was all worth it. I really needed the rush of things working again. People making sense is a rush all on its own.

I sure wish me and about 30,000 others would have gotten to P.A.U.L. Fest. Then again throwing a party with over a thousand people showing up isn't bad. I hope everything works out for those that put it on.

I thought that was him when I first saw him come out. It was long before his playing removed all doubt. Those guys were great.
