Yes, I have. I'm a Paul supporter. And I believe that the non-aggressive stance is why Paul and his supporters have gotten shafted at every turn. You really think the objections, or walk outs are going to do squat? You think boo- hooing to the media is going to get you anywhere? You think trying to have any legal recourse is going to do anything when they break their own laws and rules? The GOP made it obvious they will do whatever the hell they wish regardless of who you, I, or anyone else wants. If they run a risk of not getting the nominee they have "chosen" they'll change the rules to get it and to hell with the American people! To me it amounts to a spoiled brat taking his ball and going home when he starts to lose the game.
There comes a time when peaceful objection is no longer a viable option. And I believe we are fast approaching that time.

My question to the Ron Paul delegates at the convention. You were all clearly disrespected and ignored...why didn't you stage more of a protest than you did???
Why just take it lying down and let them get away with it???
No one will really know about what they did to Ron Paul delegates...because the Ron Paul delegates didn't do anything to bring it to the national media's attention. You can't just expect them to cover it because it happened...you have to make them cover it whether they want to or not.
What could you have done you ask??? You could have vocally shown your disapproval during Romney's speech...you could have marched on the stage and refused to leave...you could have done a lot of things...but all I saw is that you guys were quiet when they told you to be quiet, you put your signs away when they told you to put the signs away, and you sat in the back where they told you to sit.
Cameras were everywhere...and you passed up the opportunity to be heard.

You're either a BIRTHER, 911 TRUTHER or RON PAUL fanatic or a LUNATIC on the LEFT FRINGE.
I don't subscribe to this site for revolting information. You either LOVE OBAMA or DON'T.
If YOU don't, I suggest you get on board with the RNC candidate to defeat OBAMA at the polls.
Because Voting for Ron Paul is only going to hurt the RNC's chances of defeating OBAMA. PERIOD !

Ok, then you must understand that none of us would be here, supporting Ron Paul, if the world did not see Ron Paul lead by example. The only reason he is such a popular figure in politics and has a hardcore following is because of his consistency in everything he says.
What is breaking some republican drone's jaw gonna do? what is really going to accomplish to further the cause of liberty?
My god I feel like I'm in the twilight zone and everyone is a cookie cut carbon copy of Borg with their brains sucked out.

What example is that? To sit there and let the GOP do the things it has done to him not just this year but every other time the man has ran for president? If Paul wants to lead by example then he should lead all of us to Washington D.C. and demand something be done to the GOP and the rest of the federal government for their antics. He should be calling for every American be it Republican, Democrat, white, black, brown, yellow, green, and purple to march on our nation's capitol and scream NO MORE! I love Ron Paul but the man is too passive for the lions den that is politics.

The cause of liberty? How about the guy with the Paul sign having the liberty to display his sign of who he supports without some ass trying to block it with his sign or the woman(not what I really wanted to call her) to snatch his sign away? Breaking their jaws would certainly make them think twice about doing it again. To me that is is furthering the cause of liberty for the sign holder.edit on 31-8-2012 by Simon_Boudreaux because: (no reason given)

Do you realize how much bad press would've come out if a Ron Paul supporter HIT some older establishment drone? You have to know how to play your cards and right now the deck is stacked against the establishment. We have SYMPATHY. I was there, I would know.
Hope that works out for you, sincerely I do.
We don't call this an intellectual revolution for nothing.
Ron Paul needs to stop playing the victim, He lost get over it.
