Romney in Gdansk [Poland]: Big crowds, but support for Ron Paul, Obama

[sailingaway]

Mitt Romney got a welcome sight, and a not so welcome sight, as he entered Gdansk, the Poland city where the Solidarity movement helped lead the nation to freedom from Soviet domiation.

According to media pool reports, he found big crowds--though some were apparently there for an arts festival.

But he also was greeted by a huge banner saying, "Polish Choice-R.Paul," a reference to his Republican presidential primary rival Ron Paul. And some in the crowd were chanting "O-bam-a"

7/30/12 – Poland Day 1 – Lech Walesa Endorses Romney and Ron Paul Supporters Greet the Romneys

A Nobel Endorsement - 06:30 p.m. CET (11:30 a.m. EST) -
Lech Walesa, the Nobel Prize winner and former Polish president, “has effectively endorsed Romney.”

“I wish you to be successful because this success is needed to the United States, of course, but to Europe and the rest of the world, too. Gov Romney, get your success – be successful,” Walesa told Romney, according to a translator.

Romney Greeted by Ron Paul Supporters – 03:35 p.m. CET (8:35 a.m. EST) -
Mitt and Ann Romney were greeted upon arriving for a meeting with Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk by hundreds of people lining the narrow streets here, some of whom held signs for another U.S. presidential candidate, Ron Paul.

The large sign read “Polish Choice – R. Paul” with a photograph of Paul.

The Paul supporters’ sign read, “Polish Choice – Ron Paul Kongres Nowej Prawicy.” Kongres Nowej Prawicy stands for “Congress of the New Right” and is the name of a libertarian-conservative Polish political party founded last year.

A July 28 posting on the party’s website called for displaying a banner in support of Ron Paul during Romney’s visit. The post explains that the party believes Paul would be a better choice for the GOP.


Congress of the New Right was founded in March 2011 from the merger of the political parties Freedom and Lawfulness and Real Politics Union. Its founder and president, Janusz Korwin-Mikke, received 2.48 percent of the vote in the 2010 Polish presidential election.

Congress of the New Right favors trade liberalization, drug legalization, the right to keep and bear arms, withdrawal from the European Union, tax cuts and spending reductions — but it also opposes abortion and same-sex marriage. The party has no seats in either of Poland’s houses of parliament.

We welcome all members and sympathizers to participate in this event.

Thanks Barrex, I think I figured it out.

Sailing (or someone that doesn't follow me) could you try retweeting this https://twitter.com/G_fasciatus/status/230023483894157312

Thanks

well I AM following you, but I could unfollow you, then try....

nope. Even when I went to 'unfollow' it still doesn't have a retweet OR a 'favorite' option.

LOL. Looks like the "news" is that there as actually a Romney supporter.

Romney Greeted by Ron Paul Supporters – 03:35 p.m. CET (8:35 a.m. EST) - Mitt and Ann Romney were greeted upon arriving for a meeting with Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk by hundreds of people lining the narrow streets here, some of whom held signs for another U.S. presidential candidate, Ron Paul.

The large sign read “Polish Choice – R. Paul” with a photograph of Paul.

But not everyone is a Paul supporter. As Romney and his wife Ann arrived at Gdank’s Old Town Hall, the candidate shoot hands with well-wishers, one of whom told him, “I want you to be president of the United States.”

The Romneys admired the crowd before heading into the meeting, Ann comparing it to a rally stateside. “Wow, look at that,” said Mitt. “This is great.” “This is like a local rally in the U.S.,” said Ann.

The "Where's Waldo" of U.S. politics.

Wow, that's what a Mitt rally in the US looks like?

So every Romney event in the US has huge RP signs and few Romney folks. She's worth so much in great soundbites. People should pay more attention to the crap that comes out of Ann Romney's mouth. She's a gaffe machine. No one notices.

THere are not NEARLY as many people here for Romney at rallies, as well they know. My understanding is it was an art festival and a bunch of the people were just there for that.

[KEEF]

Maybe Mitt should go watch an event at the Olympics and call it a Romney rally;)

WOW.

Guys dressed in black holding red umbrellas across the front of the banner...

Wish me and my boys were there to rip the umbrellas away from em.

I just wish the Europeans would educate themselves on Obama. Seems he can do no wrong in their eyes, even though in reality, he's just as bad as Bush for them!
