CNN has just dumped Dynamite into the fire!

[Pedro TT]

After seeing the post-debate RP speech and listening to Ron Paul Radio, the sentiment seems to have changed for all the Ron Paul supporters. Its like a fire has been lit and the BLATANT actions to silence Ron Paul tonight has only motivated us to band together and fight even HARDER. I saw Ron Paul's demeanor change during his speech after the debate. He knows that he has an army behind him and is growing bolder with his statements.

I truly believe now that because of this, Teaparty will be a success beyond our wildest dreams This is not because of massive media attention but because it is obvious now that we are in for the fight of our lives. We are watching history unfold people but its up to US to make this happen. Get out there and spread the word!!

P.S. Donate as much as you can on December 16th!!!

Yes it was! I have watched almost every speech of his during this campaign. I have never seen such an energetic and amazing reaction from the crowd. The tide is shifting in this campaign. The flood gates are opening!

This is our Pearl Harbor day. This date, November 28th will live in infamy. The Ron Paul Army will now launch a counterattack to commence on November 30th, starting at 12:01 am and lasting for a full 24-hour period of money bombardment. Give all you can to the campaign. Make our voice heard by everyone on earth. Smash the $12 million mark. To quote the Japanese General Yamamoto following the attack: "I fear we have awoken a slumbering giant." CNN, fear the slumbering giant, it is coming for you!!!

I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking this way - yeah that was something special. It's almost weird how people are sensing this.

[pguitarb]

do you feel....do you feel like I do?

let's get that speech

everyone double what you were going to give for the teaparty

The atmosphere was electric. It reminded me of the atmosphere at a rivalry college football game. We are going viral in 5, 4, 3....

[matthylland]

i want you all to know, i just walked around my town, a small town of around 28,000 people...about half are college students....and put fliers up and chalked up everywhere....This was the worst political "coverage" i have ever seen. This is the turn of the tide. I was a Ron Paul supporter, now I am a fanatic. I am convinced that Ron Paul is our future, and is our hope.

I agree. The "remnant" has been awakened, and this last little charade by the msm will ultimately be their undoing.

Freedom lovers everyhere for Paul have now been given the green light to campaign in all ways necessary in support of the good Dr. due the blatant marginalization effort of the only true patriot offering to help change this country around. They have forced this upon us all and they have forced this upon themselves. Folks, we have but a short time. Not just for this campaign, but for the salvation of this country. We are going down and going down fast.

But alas, CNN has awakened the sleeping giant.

My friends, the revolution has begun!

[akovacs]

CNN was caught blatantly helping Clinton at the last debate. If they are indeed trying to promote Hillary secretly, then it would make sense for them to attack the biggest threat to her... guess who that is.

[Pedro TT]

Yeah. He will be here in Miami in a 1 1/2 months and we are going to go absolutely ape shit when we paint the town!

I'm glad everyone is fired up and ready to donate, but I watched the whole debate and I don't understand how it was worse than any of the others.

I just got back from there. We had a lot of reason to be and feel amped! I'll type a report up on the whole days events in a new post.

It was unreal!!!!!

WE DOMINATED the area, by land air and sea!!!!!!:D:cool:

I totally agree! It is now time to RE-TRIPLE our efforts and go all out! The media thinks they own this election! However, WE THE PEOPLE do!

WE will win.

Attention CNN:

Thank you for your disgraceful and repulsive display of "top-down" politics. your complete disregard for the respect of Ron Paul and the MILLIONS of people that he represents has made a decision for me.

I will not be returning to college for my next term unless I fall into some big money. As of this moment, you, CNN, have convinced me that there is literally NOTHING in my life more important than supporting Ron Paul full time everywhere I go and everything I do. I will not tire, I will not rest, I will not falter.

You probably ignored the situation hoping that it would go away. Well fuck that. Your disrespect is the single most motivating thing to take action that I have seen thus far. You have turned this supporter into an activist.

[Pedro TT]

Attention CNN:
You have turned this supporter into an activist.

This is a sentiment I feel many people will share as of today. This day is TRULY the birth of a Revolution!

[Malakai0]

I was there. RP people were everywhere. The speech was electrifying. At the republican straw poll @vinoy park, it was 3-4 RP supporters (or more, very hard to tell) for every 1 of someone else.


Let me tell you with 100% certainty, if RP doesn't win that straw poll it was rigged. It may as well have been a Ron Paul rally.

There were 2 big boats with RP stuff all over them right off the water, and a plane flying overhead with "cheer for Ron Paul!!" strobing on the lights on the underside. We had our own trolley bussing us from event to event around town.

Many thanks to the clearwater and other meetups that organized all this & made it possible.


Oh and Ron's granddaughter is very very beautiful! She was too shy to come out to the front of the stage <3

[Menthol Patch]

CNN made a huge mistake. They have only succeeded in making us more determined to see that Ron Paul wins!

[saahmed]

I think people who tuned in for the first time may actually look into Ron Paul due to this debate. At first I was very frustrated and angered by his treatment in the debate. But, after looking back on it, people who watched this debate not knowing who he was might now go and look him up to find out why everyone was calling him crazy and why CNN was trying to marginalize him.

St.Petersburg straw poll was rigged for Mitt Romney. Ron Paul even with more people showing up lost the poll in second place because Romney supporters voted several times each.

As for how I know it was rigged well this might make you sick. Read this:



ST. PETERSBURG - Mitt Romney bought himself a victory in the straw poll for Republicans at a rain-shortened barbecue in Vinoy Park.

Romney got 893 votes, besting second-place Ron Paul's 534 - despite Paul's shuttling in supporters on a rented trolley and shuttle. The campaign had a plane sporting pro-Paul slogans and a boat touting him, too.

In fact, Paul supporters dominated the crowd, which reached an estimated 1,000 people. Tickets for votes cost $20 each.

So how did Romney do it?

"I voted 20 times," Derek Gyongzois, 38, of St. Petersburg exclaimed after casting ballots.

He said he works as a volunteer for the Romney campaign (and begged a reporter not to print his 20-vote tally). Did he buy the tickets?

"I don't have that kind of money," Gyongzois said.

The source to the full story is here: http://www.sptimes.com/2007/11/29/Worldandnation/St_Petersburg_straw_p.shtml

We cannot let them get away with this. Somehow someway we have to make this story big so everyone can know what we're facing. Let's make this backfire on them.

" Instant gratification department

According to a survey of Republican voters who watched last night's CNN/YouTube debate, the winner was ... Mike Huckabee.

The InsiderAdvantage/Majority Opinion Research/Florida Chamber of Commerce survey, in which voters participated by calling into a toll-free phone line, gathered opinions from 341 GOP voters. The margin of error is 5.25 percent. Here are the results:

Huckabee: 44%; Giuliani: 18%; Romney: 13%; McCain: 10%; Thompson: 5%; Paul: 4%; Tancredo: 1%; no winner: 5% "

[stewie3128]

Anyone found video of the post-debate speech? I really want to see this.

[Chase]

After watching when Ron answered his last question tonight and started talking about the revolution, I am starting to think that even Ron thinks he can win. His enthusiasm was electric.

[HazardPerry]

His speech was amazing. This was my first rally and after watching that absolute charade of a 'debate' I am pissed. I share the same sentiment most of you have said up to this point in this thread.

From here on out, everything I do, every single dollar I spend and action I undertake is in service to Dr. Paul and his campaign. I hope you all agree that CNN really stirred up a hornet's nest here. I refuse to let Dr. Paul, not to mention the uneducated public of our faltering country, down.

[Exarel]

Come on someone please give us the speech :(

[MadEmperor]

Come on someone please give us the speech :(

Is this speech from the post debate interview, or is this different?

I turned off the tv after the 1hr postdebate thing.

[Exarel]

There is supposedly an awesome speech he made after the debate.

[MadEmperor]

There is supposedly an awesome speech he made after the debate.

Nobody has a link yet....

[rfbz]

Anyone else notice that Ron Paul seemed a lot better during the debate today as far as public speaking, getting his points across, staying calm and more presidential looking - than in the previous debates? I wonder if he's got a speech coach working with him, if so it's definitely working. In the past I could see how some viewers might be turned off by his somewhat non-status quo way of talking, but he's improved a lot. This was an excellent performance. If he was given as much time as Giuliani or Romney and able to get his full message across, there would be no doubt as to what candidate the majority of Americans would be supporting.

The arrogance of the beast has riled the children of the divine and the battle has engaged. The ones who thought we misspoke about the media conspiracy are now having the scales fall from their eyes.. these are probably our bravest go getters as they are surely gonna be pissed that they have been duped through the subtlety of the vipers stare and are gonna kill that snake.

When I checked my email this morning, I had 5 from inactive members in my meetup saying that last night was what they needed to get active. They've RSVP'd for this weekends event, and plan on doing everything they can from here on out to help. And I had one email from a kid at the local college that heads up the Bradley University Facebook group for RP saying that he is going to get all 150libertarians at Bradley to join the meetup!

"Blowback" anyone? :D;):D
