I Met My Hero, Ron Paul
Ron Paul made a short trip to Spokane today. It was only decided on Tuesday he would come. I was able to get VIP access (through my dad) to get in a small reception for him before the rally. I was able to meet him, shake his hand, and pose for a picture with him. This was very fun, and I was able to take some of the HUGE Ron Paul signs that were just going to be thrown away home. His speech at the rally was amazing, I’m not sure my dad will admit but I think he’s falling for Ron Paul. I got lots of pictures and videos, I’ll post them when I get back home.
Oh, don’t forget to donate $51 to the Ron Paul campaign tomorrow on the 1st. It the next money bomb for his campaign, and it’s celebrating his 51st anniversary with his wife.
Yea. I suck with a digital camera. And the pic looks weird. But it is proof that you shook hands with the apparent future president of the US. I think you should post it. It was a real life looking shot…………………
So Romney gave it up. That makes me even more undecided. I may vote for the Doctor after all………………….
Why shouldn’t I vote for that bible thumpin’ huckster?
I figured you already sent out your ballot for Romney earlier this week, if not, great, Ron Paul would love your vote
My ballot has been sitting in my pending box at work for about a week now. I had a hunch Romney would bow out if he didn’t win Super Tuesday, so I wanted to see how that went.
Both Hillary and Mama Obama are in Spokane today………..are you coming up for their rallies??
I am disappointed that Mitt has bowed out. I am disappointed that debates over the truthfulness of religion turned Iowa against him and that he also did not do well in New Hampshire early on. The tide turned on him early. It is sad that Americans don’t listen, but only vote for the winner. Whoever wins early, wins all.
No President in the past century has won the white house without winning the southern states. When Mitt lost every single southern state on Super Tuesday, I knew his campaign was doomed.
America is not ready for a man with the integrity and values of Mitt Romney. That is too bad.
My philosophy for national elections has been to vote by party since it is the parties that have all the power. I vote for the party that most represents my views and for the candidate in that party that can best take the party to victory.
I thought that man may have been Mitt Romney. Obviously and unfortunately he is not that man as Super Tuesday pointed out to us.
Frankly, I’m frightened that the Republican Party has NO ONE who can deal with the momentum of the Democrats at this time. FRIGHTENED!
I also feel hopeless. Glenn Beck and other vocal Romney supporters, obviously also feeling hopeless, are now saying they will not vote at all now. I feel like that is like small children taking their toys and leaving the game in a fit of temper. A nonvote is a vote for Hillary. That is what it is.
Therefore, feeling helpless also, but refusing to just not vote, I am changing my philosophy for this primary election and instead of voting for the leader that will take us to victory, I will vote for the candidate whose campaign is sending the largest message to America. His message, although I don’t agree with all of it, is basically that we are overgovernized and that the way our government does business must change drastically, even extremely.
That is the message that I want to send, even though this candidate has no chance in heck of winning.
Today I will cast my vote for Ron Paul.

But don’t count on my firm endorsing him. Almost all of my staff wanted time off to go see Mama Obama or Hillary today………………
Its hard to find good help these days.
