Ron Paul Plans Rally Near GOP Convention

(AP)  Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul is planning a daylong rally in Minnesota during the Republican National Convention that could draw attention from the presumed nominee John McCain.

The Texas congressman with a devoted following has tentatively reserved the Williams Arena at the University of Minnesota on Sept. 2, the second day of the GOP convention.

"We plan on having a large rally," said Paul spokesman Jesse Benton. "We want it to be a celebration of Republican values and what the Republican Party has traditionally stood for."

Benton also said Paul wants to send a message to the GOP "that we need to return to our roots" of limited government and personal responsibility.

The Republican Party will be gathering at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul for its four-day event that will end with McCain accepting his party's nomination.

University of Minnesota spokesman Dan Wolter confirmed in an e-mail that the Paul campaign has a hold on Williams Arena in Minneapolis, Minn.

Supporters of Paul have been pushing for him to have a speaking role at the Republican convention. In the latest Associated Press tally, Paul had 24 delegates.

The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review first reported on its Web site about the Paul event.

McCain''s in a tough spot. He has to find a VP who''s competent and credible, but yet crazy enough to ride the Double Talk Express over a cliff in this election. In other words, he needs to find a walking, talking conundrum.

I''ve seen Lindsey Graham defending McCain on the talk shows, so maybe Senator Graham should run as McCain''s VP?!

However, I do believe I heard Senator Graham say he''s not interested in the job. I wonder why that is??? Why won''t Lindsey take a seat on the bus?

Heck, when John''s not hydroplaning, maybe Lindsey can get a few miles in behind the wheel.

Ron Paul is the only real Republic left in Washington.

Johnny Mc & Chuck Haggel are half plastic and the rest like Bush and his backers all total frauds (RINO).


How to tell the difference between a neo.con and a real_con:

neo.con- loves war and knows how to profit from it
real_con- hates war and knows to use our military force only as last resort

neo.con- knows how to out spend "tax-n spend liberals" , create record deficits and cuts taxes only for the ultra rich
real_con- hates BIG government and wants to to cut spending & lower taxes for the middle class

neo.con- cares nothing for individual freedoms & the rule of law, is ok with allowing government to spy on citizen because they know it can be a useful political tool, loves the traitorous "patriot act"
real_con- does not trust the government and refuses to support surrender of liberties. Hates the traitorous "patriot act"

neo.con- says %u201Csupport our troops%u201D but means help me profit from this war, who cares what happens to those suckers when they come home, they signed up this this in first place.
real_con- says %u201Csupport our troops%u201D but means thank God for our brave men & women, let''s do everything we can to keep them safe and take care of them when they come home.

...To those of you that say "Obamas'' religious affiliations and choices are of no consequence in ref. to his political abilities"...I say it''s of "GRAVE CONSEQUENCE" in ref. to his ability to make proper choices period! What is this mans'' level of discernment and just whatinell'' is it based on? Can you tell me then to whom he is or has had advise him on political matters and/or to what politcal ideology he adheres to. Are you people so dazzled by his rhetoric to be crazy enough to let Him have the kind of power he seeks?
