Jesse Ventura was on CNN tonite (since McCain got mad and took his ball home :wink: :lol: ) -- and he said that he spent the day at the Ron Paul Revolution meeting today in Minneapolis-- and that there was over 15,000 participants....Folks that can no longer buy into the neocon Republicanism- and their failure to support the rule of law and the Constitution- and are trying to start a Revolution to take back the party/country...
When asked why he was not supporting McCain or the traditional Republican party- his answer was "Because they say one thing- and then do the opposite"....
Ventura said that the actions of the Republicans tonight and the way they are treating Dr. Paul, reminds him of Hermann Goring described tactics...
I think Jesse has them figured out....

Ron Paul’s Counter Convention
CBSNews.com Reports: As Republicans Gathered At The RNC In Minnesota, The Faithful Rallied Around Their Own Saint Paul
MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 2, 2008
(CBS) This story was written by CBSNews.com political reporter Brian Montopoli.

It was, Ron Paul allows, “a bit of a slight.”
Until this year, the longtime Texas Congressman and former presidential candidate has had no problem getting floor passes to the Republican National Convention. This time around, he said, all he could get was a “second class” pass. He was only allowed on the convention floor, he was told, with a chaperone; he could bring no staff with him; and when he left the hall, his credentials would be taken away.
As for a speaking slot - something traditionally offered to candidates who garnered support during the presidential primary - Paul said simply, “that wasn’t available to us.”
Not that Paul didn’t have other plans. On Tuesday, as Republican delegates gathered for the second night of the RNC in St. Paul, the Libertarian-leaning congressman was holding court at the Target Center in nearby Minneapolis, the 15,000-plus capacity home of the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Paul faithful had gathered in Minneapolis for the “Rally For The Republic,” an effort to call the GOP “back to its roots.”
