Must watch speech from SC GOP nominee for Senator Tom Davis. His speech got me so fired up... our movement is snowballing. People are pissed and getting madder by the second. In this week's primary votes, 3 different liberty candidates for congress won their primary. We are taking over, and once we hit the tipping point... we need a new word for one level above SHTF.. like 11 for an amp..

RON PAUL’S “REVOLUTION” RALLIES BEHIND FISCAL CONSERVATIVE STATE SENATOR

During the 2012 Republican presidential primary, S.C. Senator Tom Davis (R-Beaufort) was one of the most coveted endorsements on the “First in the South” political board. The Politico named him one of its “50 politicos to watch” in early voting states, while a CNN story referenced him as a “rising star” in the national Tea Party movement.

To many insiders, though, Davis squandered his moment – choosing to endorse U.S. Rep. Ron Paul over a trio of establishment “Republicans.” Paul wound up finishing in fourth place in the Palmetto State – although his 80,000 votes represented a five-fold increase over his support from 2008.

So … did Davis squander his moment?

We don’t think so …

Davis’ decision to endorse Paul has netted him an energized army of new South Carolina supporters – a potent base from which to launch a statewide campaign. And Davis has shown remarkable adeptness at rallying this growing movement behind him – mixing Paul’s libertarian ideology with a fierce populist stump presence that’s eerily reminiscent of the late Louisiana Gov. Huey Long (minus the “every man a king” socialism, naturally).

In an especially feisty speech earlier this week, Davis welcomed Paul to South Carolina – praising him among other things for his efforts to audit the Federal Reserve.

“This is not a Republican issue, it’s not a Democratic issue, it’s not a Libertarian issue, it’s an American issue,” Davis said in his speech. ”It’s in our DNA as Americans to stand up as free people.”

According to Davis, Paul’s movement represents another effort to restore fiscal sanity and respect for individual liberty to the Republican brand – two concepts that have been sorely lacking over the last three decades (with costly consequences).

Davis says that Paul’s movement is pushing back against “the statism of the status quo” within the GOP the same way Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan pushed back in the 1960s and 1980s.

And he’s right … it just remains to be seen whether that push will be sufficient (and sufficiently sustained) to make any difference.

Anyway, here’s a clip featuring some of the most “amped up” portions of Davis’ speech …




Damn! That’s some fiscal fire and brimstone, people!

Boats Armed with Automatic Machine Guns to Patrol RNC

TAMPA, Fla. - Law enforcement agencies are planning to boost their patrols of Tampa's waterways during the Republican National Convention. The RNC will be held later this month on the city's waterfront. Federal and local law enforcement agencies say they'll saturate the waterway with armed boat patrols.

The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office says machine guns and infrared technology that can pick up body heat are among the new tools being mounted onto boats for the patrols.

Romney Campaign Spokeswoman's "Romneycare" Gaffe is Going Viral and May Be a Blessing for Paul

Think for a moment - To us that support Ron Paul, of course, this is hardly newsworthy. We are already well aware of Mitt's "Romneycare" and his support for it, just as we are aware of, all of the other, almost identical, similarities between Mitt Romney and Obama.

But, for many of the TV watching voters out there, it is an issue that had been removed from their mind - Dodged by Romney and the right wing media, swept under the rug, and forgotten about completely, in the big "Anyone But Obama", "Republicans vs. Democrat" hype and frenzy.

That is...

Until now.

Now it seems to be going viral, and because of it, videos are surfacing showing Romney speak in pro-healthcare context, media outlets are all over it, and those that forgot all about Mitt's Romneycare now see this issue front and center again.

"So. What's the problem?" you might ask? Well, the truth is, it's a HUGE issue, and thanks to this incident, people are now remembering the mandatory healthcare issue and how important it was back at the beginning of the election cycle - And it is all happening right before the RNC's planned grand Mitt Romney coronation.

The RNC and Romney have to be shitting bricks right now. All of their burying and hiding has just been unearthed and set right back on the dinner table, front and center, voters are realizing it stinks, and a whole lot of desperate-to-remove-Obama republicans are now in deep thought thinking "Wait a minute... I didn't want mandatory health care..." "I thought he was going to repeal it?" etc..

You can bet, a lot of them are delegates as well. And you can be sure, they are wondering how this Romney campaign could ever win now, especially with the simultaneous onslaught of falling Romney percentages in the polls, and numerous other flubs.

All of the sudden "Anyone but Obama" begins to seem very foolish, when the anti-Obama just turned out to be the Obama Twin.

There is now only one other man standing that everyone knows has no baggage and a solid record of not flip flopping, who won't screw them over with bogus promises, that is truly a conservative and that CAN beat Obama - and I'll leave you to figure out who that is.

Keep pushing. Keep praying.

I suspect that no matter how tall it will be, it will never rise to the heights of this man.

Conservative Group Launches “Dump Romney” Campaign

Submitted by PWA on Thu, 08/09/2012 - 19:09
Daily Paul Liberty Forum

A group called "Jews and Christians Together," which backed Rick Santorum in the Republican primary, is sending a memo to Republican National Convention delegates urging them not to vote for Mitt Romney at the convention, even if they're bound to him.

The nine-page memo casts Romney's nomination in the direst terms. A press release from the group reads:

"DUMP ROMNEY" contends that no delegates are actually "bound" by law or GOP rules to vote for Romney and that, to win the White House and toss-up Senate seats, delegates must exercise their right to "conscientiously abstain" from Romney on the crucial first ballot, aiming for a stronger ticket leader in subsequent convention voting rounds. The core of a hard-hitting new 80,000 word book and incubating Tampa insurgency, the entire memo can be read online free via Amazon Kindle Cloud Reader using the Amazon.com search term "DUMP ROMNEY." "Were frontrunners simply entitled to the nomination, a convention wouldn't be necessary," the texts say, noting that Intrade predictive markets gives Obama odds of about 60-40 over Romney and that New York Times political analyst Nate Silver projects about 300 electoral votes for Obama, rating Romney's current odds around 21%.

Conservative Group Launches “Dump Romney” Campaign

“Disgusting and highly inappropriate,” says Ron Paul's campaign manager. Also a bit late in the game. posted Aug 9, 2012 5:30pm EDT

A group called "Jews and Christians Together," which backed Rick Santorum in the Republican primary, is sending a memo to Republican National Convention delegates urging them not to vote for Mitt Romney at the convention, even if they're bound to him.

The nine-page memo casts Romney's nomination in the direst terms. A press release from the group reads:

"DUMP ROMNEY" contends that no delegates are actually "bound" by law or GOP

rules to vote for Romney and that, to win the White House and toss-up
Senate seats, delegates must exercise their right to "conscientiously
abstain" from Romney on the crucial first ballot, aiming for a
stronger ticket leader in subsequent convention voting rounds. The core of a hard-hitting new 80,000 word book and incubating Tampa
insurgency, the entire memo can be read online free via Amazon Kindle
Cloud Reader using the Amazon.com search term "DUMP ROMNEY." "Were
frontrunners simply entitled to the nomination, a convention wouldn't
be necessary," the texts say, noting that Intrade predictive markets
gives Obama odds of about 60-40 over Romney and that New York Times
political analyst Nate Silver projects about 300 electoral votes for
Obama, rating Romney's current odds around 21%.

The memo doesn't specify who Romney should be replaced with.

A core of Ron Paul supporters had been the only organized Republican opposition to accepting Romney as the nominee, but Paul campaign manager Jesse Benton told BuzzFeed that the memo had nothing to do with them, calling it "disgusting and highly inappropriate."

Instead, it's a brainchild of Steve Baldwin, the former chief of the Council for National Policy, a low-profile, well-connected conservative group. Baldwin said the memo was sent out to 20,000 people in politics in media, as well as RNC delegates.

"We’re just saying that Romney has so many liabilities that will be exploited by Obama," Baldwin said in a phone interview. "I don’t have a problems with Mormons personally, but it is a liability issue" among evangelical voters, Baldwin said.
Baldwin said that the people who put together the memo are supporters of different primary candidates, including Michele Bachmann, Rick Santorum, and Newt Gingrich (Baldwin is a Bachmann supporter).

Jews and Christians Together briefly made the news in March for putting out robocalls in Ohio on behalf of Rick Santorum, then still a presidential candidate. The call accused Romney of supporting "open homosexuality in the military, the appointment of homosexual judges, and the ENDA law, making it illegal to fire a man who wears a dress and high heels to work, even if he's your kid's teacher."

The memo is accompanied by an "expanded" 100-page version, available on Amazon. It devotes a lot of space to attacking Romney's Mormonism as "hostile to American monotheism and hetero-monogamy" (there's even a picture of Brigham Young in drag).
