Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire If Steve_NO is grumpy today,...

I can't see why any American can view the Ron Paul energy as anything but positive.

*Real* grassroots people are schooling themselves in the workings of elections,...being active,...turning out the vote,...being diligent.

Anyone can do it for any candidate if they simply have the motivation to.

The liberty movement is real,...it's growing,..and it's not going to go away.

Ron Paul may not get the nomination this election cycle, but there's a large, growing element emerging among America's youth who are very motivated about holding government accountable for it's actions.

That's a *good* thing,...that's the *real* acts of Patriots.

not really climbing out on a limb with that prediction, bro.

I was planning to vote in the Dem primary here because of county offices,but I guess I'll ask for a R ballot and vote for Mitt,so the Paulbots can't exploit the opportunity.

They have a golden opportunity to really inflate his numbers in Texas because of ABO voters ignoring the Repub primary.

I like the news on both fronts, Paul having a seat at the table at the convention and Buddy going from a home that was better than what he left and now one that suits him and his needs even mo' betta!


what's not to like?

well other than Grace's sadness over the gig, but Grace is a smart girl by all accounts, soon to be headed to college and the busy life that entails, that she's had one more lesson before starting college that doing the right thing isn't always the easy thing will only add to the fine woman I'm certain she's on the path toward becoming.

I can forsee a trip in Grace's future to Mickey's place to do a little shooting and see how happy Buddy truly is in his new digs with all his companions.

as an aside Steve, since you're in to taking in strays, I've seen pix of your beautiful home, I think I can fairly certain say if you drag my azz back there I won't be going all Papillion on ya!

I don't know where they are massing......guerillas usually hide in "the hills", but of course there aren't any of those within a hundred miles of here.

No,...but it's not about Ron Paul.

It's not even about this election anymore.

It's gotten much bigger than that.

This is a bona fide political movement that's starting to grow exponentially,...and it's a very wholesome one. It's the first one I've ever witnessed.

In fact, I don't think America's ever seen one like this.

The 60's produced a societal revolution of sorts,...but its people weren't really serious about working within the system,...and partying played much too big a role in it.

These young people today aren't playing.

This isn't a game.

Ron Paul can show up virtually anywhere in America and thousands of young people will turn out to see him,...and the crowds just keep getting bigger.

He's an idea whose time has come.

Like this,...when has this ever happened before?

Ron Paul speaks in Philadelphia 4,300 supporters flood streets ignoring rain

He had a big turnout of students and others here in Austin the other day, according to the headlines of the local paper.

The Goldwater movement came close.

George Wallace was building a head of steam before he met his unfortunate demise as an active politician.

Yeah,..I hear he drew some people to Austin.

Looks like alot of folks.

Buddy and I are "trailer park trash" now and neither of us minds it one bit. He saw a squirrel this morning on his trek to the pond and was kinda like me on my first date with a hot girl.....I didn't know what to do with it, either.

By any chance,did Steve try to "negotiate" a rifle build "exchange" during your visit,Mick?

It wasn't any freakint straw poll...it was a primary election, you know what those are? secret ballot...voting machines...IDs...all that official type stuff.

not subject to being swarmed by brown shirts going to Tulane on their daddy's or the taxpayer's dime.

actually yes....if you're making the ten hour round trip pilgrimage to Rachel's Glen, you might as well do some rifle bidness while you're at it. I scratched my .257 Roberts itch.

Not really but Badger was here when Steve arrived and Badger whispered in my ear that I should petition for "child support" for Buddy. It was taken in for consideration but nothing more has been heard from The Plaintiff. I'm not willing to press the issue having gotten a great dog out of the deal.

Now that I think about it there was some talk about a .257 Roberts.....may I have a moment to consult my notes, your Honor?

I know this does not need to be said but Steve is fine people and great company. I'm just sorry it was a "thunder run" to deliver Buddy. We didn't get to spend all that much time together.......we didn't even get halfway through the list of members at the 'fire.

Well.

it was time for a bath anyway. And it was free........


Just yanking your chain, Bristoe.........

The Alaska GOP leadership bit off more than it could chew.

Alaska GOP warned to stop meddling with Ron Paul delegates

Cutler was asked whether he thought Alaska GOP officials were intentionally trying to make it difficult for Ron Paul presidential delegates to complete their party business and participate in the upcoming state and party conventions.

"While I cannot read anyone's mind or intentions," he said, "the numerous verbal and written accounts I've received � would make a reasonable person suspect this is the case." All he wants, he added, is for party officials to follow the rules to enable full participation in the election process.

Cutler's response echoed what the Paul for President campaign's lawyer spelled out in an April 17 letter excoriating Ruedrich for what amounts to party mismanagement that threatens to violate "rights of Alaskans to participate in the political process." The letter, from David A. Warrington of the Virginia law firm LeClairRyan, takes Ruedrich to task for frustrating Paul supporters "at every turn" for not accepting checks, not promptly returning money orders, confusing credit card processing, and other alleged misdeeds.

The Paul campaign decided to intercede and attempted to pay some fees for Alaskans that wanted to stand up for Paul at the state and national conventions. Ruedrich and the GOP refused payment from the national campaign.

Then this,..

Ron Paul supporters team with Joe Miller to take over Alaska Republican Party

After at least 12 years of the Alaska GOP being run by what those party newcomers call �establishment Republicans,� a new force is taking over: Alaska Republicans voted Russ Millete as the party�s new chairman and Debbie Holland-Brown as co-chair. They are both supporters of presidential candidate Ron Paul.

4,300? As a Palinista�yawn�
