Giuliani Swamped By 100's of Paulicans on Ferry

[FluffyUnbound]

http://www.dailypaul.com/node/2330

I wish I could have been there.

I hope there's video of this.


I was on the island with my wife and six kids. We had to catch the 9pm boat back to the mainland and gathered on the dock with many (100's) of Ron Paul supporters. All of a sudden from the back of the line I hear, "Ron Paul, Ron Paul, Ron Paul"...an eruption of cheers. I turn to my left and see none other than Rudy "Terror Terror Terror" Giuliani, with about 6 or 7 people trailing. Rudy joined us (a couple of hundred Ron Paul supporters) to make the 15 minute trip back to Mackinaw City. I can only say that this was probably the longest 15 minutes in Rudy's life. More on that later...

[Tom29]

Nothing to giggle about now Mr. Giuliani? :D

[mavtek]

You Tube!!! You Tube!!! You Tube!!!

[itsnobody]

No video? Come on you have to have video for something like this...

[FluffyUnbound]

How many different anti-Rudy chants can you fit into a 15 minute boat ride?

Hopefully "Read a book, Ru-dy, Read a book!" was one of them.

After those cross dressing photos I find it ironic that Rudy was riding a fairy... :D

WHOOP WHOOP WHOOP

And the pun police sirens ring into the night...

[angelatc]

Ron Paul mentioned that in his speech today. Apparently JulieAnnie had to seek refuge in the captain's bridge.

Dr Paul seemed to rather enjoy it.

He also enjoyed the fact that ever overpass from Detroit to Mackinaw was equipped witha Ron Paul sign.

[Trassin]

Someone must have a video of it if there really were that many Ron Paul supporters there. Come on guys, get it on youtube.

[Richandler]

Yah wish this stuff would make the news.

[Zydeco]

Please let there be video of this! I'm begging.

I bet Rudy was thinking, "That bastard never even apologized for implying that America is to blame for Sept. 11th!"

Considering that Rudy knew about the Sept. 11th attacks well in advance and covered them up afterwards, there's some real irony here. How fucked up and in need of reform our political system is at the top. Think I'm wrong? Think again. The FDNY families know. I won't post the YouTube smoking guns but I could. PM me if you want them.

G-khan: Here is a post from a member of my website...

__________________________________________________ __________-___

Just a little note to tell everyone what went on up in Mackinac this weekend. We just returned home from the Island tonight.

The Friday Rally at the entrance to the Shepler Docks was a great success. I didn't take a count, but there were at least 50 of us standing out and around waving signs and chanting. The Jackson Meetup Group brought their Truck mounted giant TV and were broadcasting Ron Paul speeches during the rally.

We all felt a little sorry for the Romney kids that were trying to work one corner. There were only about 4 of them and they were hopelessly outnumbered. They kept all bunched together and looked very uncomfortable.

About 5pm we got the word that Ron had landed at the airport and was on his way to the dock, so we all proceeded down to the dock to line up and welcome him. Ron showed up at about 5:40 and walked down the line speaking and shaking hands with everyone who was there to meet him.

We had missed the 5:30 Ferry, but the good people at Shepler's quickly boarded us on another boat and made a special run to take us and Ron Paul over to the Island. While on the Ferry, Ron spoke to everyone that approached him and was signing signs and anything else people put in front of him. I asked him how much longer he thought those guys in Washington could keep going before everything started to collaspe, and he said "Not much longer, things are starting to fall apart and this time they will not be able to stop it."

We were met at the Island by another large group of supporters and we all Paraded with Ron up to the Grand Hotel. We filled the drive in front of the Grand Hotel and Ron Paul had reached the steps before the last of the supporters reached the entrance to the driveway. It took about 15 min to get everyone up the drive and steps onto the front porch and during this time we were blocking the drive and preventing the horse carriages from getting through to unload other Conference goers.

While Ron checked in and did a couple of quick News Interviews. We traipsed back down the hill to Mary's Bistro for another Rally and Buffet Dinner. The Bistro holds 100 and we had the place packed with overflow out onto the patio area. Ron finally got to the Bistro at about 8:15 and gave us a rousing speech and spent time visiting with everyone.

Those of us staying in Mackinaw City left just before 9 to catch the last Ferry back to the Mainland. As we were all standing in line, we could hear this chorus of low level boo's start behind us. Looking around to see what was going on, we spotted the problem.

Surrounded by staff and Police, Guilliani was being whisked up the dock to get on our Ferry. What they didn't realize is that almost the whole line was Ron Paul supporters. The look on his face when he realized what was up, was priceless. Now a real Candidate, would have put on a brave face and gladhanded his way up the line trying to drum up support. Not Bonito, they closed rank around him and he all but ran up the dock, head down and refusing to even acknowledge us. They stuffed him into the cockpit with the Captain and his staff stood outside the door like they had to protect him from us. So he got to ride back hearing the whole boat chanting "Ron Paul". When we got to the mainland, they had his car pulled up, and put him out over the bow railing. Some of us managed to make it off the Ferry and get lined up so he drove off between a line of signs and chants. I am sure Rudy will not forget his trip to Mackinac for awhile. There were lots of camcorders among us, so I am sure some footage of it will hit Youtube soon.

Saturday was the Republican Breakfast Program. Tancrado and Brownback were no shows, but Saul and his bunch didn't let Ron Paul start his speech until the last 15 minutes of the program and then he had to rush through it. We are planning on writing to the Michigan GOP a strong protest as there was no reason at all that Dr. Paul couldn't have had more time. Most of the 1 1/2 hours we were sitting there trying to eat what they claimed was breakfast, was spent sitting there looking at the podium waiting for anything to happen.

By the way, any of you that might ever visit Mackinac Island, do not bother to eat at the Grand Hotel. The food is horrible and grossly overpriced.

The Reception that was held at the Iroquois Hotel afterwards was much better as we all got to ask Dr Paul questions and visit with him for about 2 hours before he had to leave to catch a plane down to Chicago.

All in all it was a very good weekend. The Ron Paul supporters were equal to about all the other Candidates supporters combined. Hopefully we helped show the Michigan GOP that we will be a force to be reckoned with.

There was a Straw Poll conducted at the Conference, but we left before it was concluded. It will be interesting to find out how that turned out. The lady that checked us in to vote, said the Ron Paul people seemed to be there in droves.

[M.Bellmore]

Here's another person's account of the ferry ride:


We all had the opportunity to meet Ron Paul and hear him speak several times. He was eloquent, rational, and moving as always. We began with a demonstration at Shelpler's Ferry docks before Paul arrived, and then we all boarded the ferry with Dr. Paul. He sat with us the entire way over. When we entered the island, we all marched with him to the Grand Hotel, where he took interviews and gave a speech thanking us. Later that night we were treated to another speech in Mary's Bistro with photo opportunities and handshaking afterwards.

Perhaps, the most amazing event the entire weekend happened next and it was completely unplanned. After Paul's speech we were taking the last regularly scheduled ferry off the island, which is normally not very crowded. However, that night we would have a special guest riding with us. Former NYC major Rudy Giuliani thought he could sneak off the island without much fanfare. He cut in front of the regular admission line with his personal body guard and police officers. He seemed to think this was just a normal group of tourists, but about halfway past our line, someone shouted Ron Paul to which we all responded with a BOOMING Ron Paul chant! Giuliani looked just a tad shocked; this ferry ride to the mainland would be a bit more than he bargained for. Once he boarded the ferry, he cowardly hid inside the captain's cabin, sitting in the captain's chair surrounded by his bodyguard and police officers. (Ron Paul traveled with no guard or police escort and sat in the normal seats next to us earlier.)

During the entire 15 min ride back to the mainland, were chanted Ron Paul cheers at the top of our lungs. We were respectful but LOUD! I could only imagine what was going through Giuliani's mind at this point. One would imagine that he was having some harsh words with who ever scheduled this for him. As luck would have it there was a TV crew there from what I believe was CBS. The reporter talked about the unlikely event for several minutes, and the camera crew recorded us yelling for Ron Paul.

When we pulled into the mainland docks, the captain positioned the ferry so that Giuliani could exit through the special front exit so he wouldn't have to walk past us to the regular exit in the rear. While he was exiting, we again made it very clear who we were and who we were supporting. He quickly scurried of the ferry and jumped into his car with his entourage of vehicles in front and behind making a rapid exit with him.

It was an incredible event, and probably the most fun we had all weekend. I was able to take pictures of Giuliani entering the ferry, hiding in the forward cabin, us yelling for Ron Paul the entire way back, and Giuliani making a quick exit. They will be posted on "Michigan4RonPaul . com/umich" shortly as will more information about the conference.

Just off the top of my head, from seeing these couple videos, I get the impression that Giuliano and Fred Thompson are the coldest, most unfriendly candidates, and Romney and McCain are the friendliest, nicest.

That was a good interview, Michigan comrade. I've been an on and off Beckman listener for a few years and would say that was a very fair interview. Paul's position on Israel was the highlight of the interview. I also didn't know he used to work at Henry Ford Hospital, which is but 30 minutes from my home.

I think this incident was karma coming back at Rudy for laughing at RP at the last Fox News debate.
