Ron Paul's shadow rally in Minneapolis' Target Center on Tuesday, Sept. 2 will go on despite the RNC scale-down of its events this week.
With a whole lot of media out there with nothing to do now, interest in the Ron Paul event has risen. Paul's press spokesman, Jesse Benton, tells me that they will not cancel and have received an additional 50-60 new requests for press credentials since the Republicans announced their truncated schedule yesterday.
We'll be there tomorrow as well to bring you the highlights of the rally including Tucker Carlson, Bruce Fein, former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura and Ron Paul himself.
It's a pity that there aren't enough Republicans with brains to support Ron Paul because Mccain was a poor choice. He was even a poor choice when the Republican administration chose him, a bottom of the barrel selection.

There will be at least a million people, based on the votes Ron Paul got in the primaries, at the Target Center in spirit, if not in person. A golden opportunity for members of the press to get a story that's much more interesting than a phony baloney Establishment Party coronation.

The President of the United States is an executive position. Sarah Palin has much more executive experience than John McCain. Sarah Phalin should be running for President and John McCain should be running for Vice President. Since John McCain has experience in flip-flopping, John McCain and Sarah Palin should flip-flop positions so that the candidate with executive experience can run for President.

Sarah Palin has all of this Experience from being a Mayor of Wasilla that population was approxiamtely 6,000 people and the entire City was a total area of (12.4) miles and 6% of it was WATER. She has been a Governor 18 months of a Population of 684,000 that Ranks 47th in the United States. Over 978,000 live in Proverty in the State of Illinoise where Obama was a Community Organizer, he beat the streets working against proverty.
Sarah Palin does not even know who wrote the Pleadge of Alligance,Obama is a Professor and Taught Constitutional Law for more than 12 years. He served in his State Senate for 7 years, and the U.S. Senate 2 terms.
What I do know is Sarah with only 684,000 people the have a high rate of Alcoholism, Teen Pregnacy, Drug Addiction, suicide, and a very high STD's rate. So her Abstinence only curriculim isn't working. Who are these Evangelicals that are so excited about her being picked as the VP, I guess the same thing the Priest where thinking about molesting children.

I'm not sure who you are rooting for exactly?!?!? Maybe it's because of all the double-speak this election is throwing our way.
Revolution you say?!!? Sounds more like sedition to me. And I was born right here in the U.S. of A. not in Russia.
The Revolution marches on! It cannot be stopped. Truth will always come to light. The darkness in the end must retreat from the light! Restore the Republic! Down with the NEO-conservative = No longer conservative. Send the neo-cons home to their mother country Russia!

Well now that it came out that Sarah Palin's daughter is a pregnant, unwed 17 year old, the press will be busy. Kinda funny timing! I voted for Ron Paul in the primaries and unfortunately I have to work this weekend but I'll be there in spirit! I just wish Ron would back either Barr or Baldwin, it would boost their chances. I guess I will go for Barr although I think Baldwin mirrors Ron's principles more. ??? It's a shame the media is so biased as third parties don't stand a chance because ordinary people just watch tv instead of really looking into the candidates history on their own. The internet is the only way I found Ron Paul and I hope they don't limit it like they plan once internet 2 comes into play in 2012.

Ron Paul is not going to win whatsoever!!! Write it in...rubbish!!! Even after all the other ex-presidential Republican hopefuls lost AND they support Senator McCain. Fuck Ron Paul!!! Hell even Hillary knows she is not going to win by whatever stretch of the imagination and that is why she is backing flip-flopping freaking loser Obummer come hell or high-water.
It's over Ron Paul and all his supporters! If Ron Paul were an Independent then maybe I could understand but HE'S NOT!!!

Rosco, I never knew about Ron Paul or flip-flopping freaking loser Obummer other that the internet also AND your right they don't stand a chance BECAUSE they all don't have enough votes to get nominated for the Republican Presidential nominee spot. Go figure... why hardly any Republicans are taking them seriously!!! Other than taking votes away from Senator McCain. Thanks a lot!!!

NO!!! Ron Paul has no chance in hell on winning, period!!! And don't tell me to write it in...that is utterly stupid and nonsense!!!!
It amazes me that there are some very stupid people in this blog. If you don't even know what a neo-con is then you need to pull your head out of your ass and see the light. They are the people who have hijacked the conservative movement and implemented a Straussian, Trotskyite movement. Look it up, dumb ass.
