Sitting in a pub right now…guy comes up to me…there’s a Ron Paul bumper sticker on my computer (of course).
He says, “man, that guy got screwed, didn’t’ he?”
Later he says, “I saw Ron Paul on the TV with his wife, just smiling…I think I’m going to write him in…”
I wonder how many people are thinking that right now?

Always fascinating to see the MSM out establishmentize each other…

Until tonight, I had a really hard time warming to Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky. No longer. Tonight, his speech was absolutely superb. A major, major home run. On a night that so far has been completely underwhelming (I write as Pawlenty speaks), with a series of really boring speaches and bad music, Paul hit the theme of individual liberty with terrific language and excellent delivery. My wife agreed. Wow!

Sources reporting Clint Eastwood is the “mystery speaker” at the GOP convention.
Curious if he agrees with Giuliani that Ron Paul is just a “crazy old man?”
Or does he agree with Chuck Norris?
For context and the video clip that launched Ron Paul on the national stage (standing down Giuliani on terrorism/blowback) see here.

Recap from last night 8/29/12
Senator Rand Paul’s speech:
Biggest applause of the night…
Republicans and Democrats alike must slay their sacred cows. Republicans must acknowledge that not every dollar spent on the military is necessary or well-spent, and Democrats must admit that domestic welfare and entitlements must be reformed.
Republicans and Democrats must replace fear with confidence, confidence that no terrorist, and no country, will ever conquer us if we remain steadfast to the principles of our Founding documents.
We have nothing to fear except our own unwillingness to defend what is naturally ours, our God-given rights. We have nothing to fear that should cause us to forget or relinquish our rights as free men and women.
To thrive we must believe in ourselves again, and we must never – never – trade our liberty for any fleeting promise of security.
Paul Ryan’s speech:

@irootsorg That’s 1 of the reasons the elite picked #Romney. He can’t debate #Obama on anything of substance that he is not guilty of himslf

the truth about conventional Republicans: they waste taxpayer dollars on technologies like this…
“Possible public debut of space-grade cloaking device”
This is the space age tech that Newt will use on his moon base.
