THis is a Video from the San francisco GOP Straw Poll.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_GADQv3vKs


Some supporters paid $33 for the dinner and vote. A $5 option was also offered to vote after the festivities. We patiently listened to the guest speaker support Fred Thompson and talk on the issues of water and budget problems in California. They then held a raffle, while all the "cheap" voters waited in the lobby. When they finally let them in, the room was flooded with Ron Paul supporters and the organizer notified us the poll was cancelled. I started the video after the initial announcement and pandemonium broke out. The sudden cancellation and an attempt to change the rules, understandably, upset quite a few people.


This one night after Katie Couric featured every GOP candidate BUT Ron Paul.

And Now I'm told Independents in california can not vote for a GOP candidate?
Many Californian independents ( including friends of mine ) BELIEVE they can vote for either party.
This is Bullshit...


It's time we cry a little bit about this, It's just gone too far, I know there are some fair journalists out there who will report this quite obvious movement to silence Ron Paul's success.

What's Jack Cafferty's email?
Lou Dobbs? Etc...?

The ones who haven't 'completely' sold their soul?

We need to get to emailing about this, spread this video far and wide.

Patriots, we must redouble our efforts for Dr. Paul to stop this kind of horseshit.

If these straw polls are for raising money, how come they did not just take everyones money and let them vote? Pretty hard to continue arguing that the GOP is not biased against Dr.Paul..

At the Republican Election Committee meeting I attended, I asked about what a straw poll was and what are the rules and so forth? One of the women there was explaining it all to me, and then I told her I participated in the Straw Poll in St. Pete and that was NOT what happened there! I never said I voted for Ron Paul, I just let it be known that I lost all respect for Mitt Romney at that event and I definately would not vote for him!

The woman just blamed the whole fiasco on CNN. She said the CNN bias in the debate was also responsible for the sham straw poll voting.

I think that if those peole who entered the SF straw poll were there to vote for anyone other than Ron Paul they would have went ahead as scheduled.

Those videos are all over the internet and that's GREAT!

Shows that the GOP machine is devoid of integrity, and proves to me that that party is comprised of utter FILTH.

This is serious breakdown.
If they (the GOP est.) dont figure this out...it could go to the next level......and nobody wants that.

That sucks.

Before everyone starts saying "Ron Paul supporters shouldn't behave that way," put your selves in their shoes. We are up against the machine! And this is bull crap.

The time for civility is over, we have the number now. If they won't listen, we will make them listen.

Apparently the SFGOP is saying that the woman running the straw poll is not affiliated with them and is a "Dem. operative."

Am I supposed to believe this? Anyone have her name?

Where is the SF GOP claiming that the woman is a democrat operative?

And if they're making such a claim, you know that means they know just how rotten the GOP is looking to folks seeing that video.

They should ALL hold their heads in SHAME. Those videos are very damning for the GOP.

The woman Gail Neira, I have some empathy with her, because the Fred Thompson people said they had not been told they could have supporters come later and vote for a reduced entry fee. There was no way that Gail Neira could have pleased both the Fred Thompson supporters and the Ron Paul supporters. She was put in a tough position. To her credit, she did allow me to speak to the group on behalf of the Ron Paul supporters for about 4 minutes after she cancelled the poll. She is not our enemy, we would like to be friends with her.

However, I believe she is on some committee of the SF GOP, and attends and is able to vote in the SF GOP meetings, so it is quite clear that she is a recognized, bona-fide, active member of the SF GOP. Any allegation that she is a Democratic operative is false information.

It seems the Fred Thompson group had the same opportunity to ask the question about attending and rally the supporters. The fact that they didn't bother to do so a) is no excuse for cancelling the vote and b) proves the good doctor has supporters that rock!

If the rules were set, by what means did the Fred Thompson people not know of this? Sounds more like an excuse due to the overwhelming outcome of Ron Paul supporters
