Texas Congressman Ron Paul may not be the next US President. But the fiery Republican, who failed to win the party’s nomination this year, is still hugely popular with grass-roots supporters. He staged a rally in Minneapolis as an alternative to John McCain’s Republican Convention in nearby St Paul, stealing much of the limelight from the party’s official presidential candidate.
 
More violence erupted on the streets of St Paul, where thousands continued protesting outside the Republican National Convention. Officials say some tried to get past security fences at the Xcel Center where the convention is under way. A beefed-up security force handcuffed civilians and journalists as hysteria filled the crowd.

Meanwhile, across the river in Minneapolis, screams of excitement filled the air. Ron Paul greeted a sea of supporters with a rock star entrance. The former Republican Presidential candidate wasn’t invited to speak at his own party’s rally, so instead organised his own, stealing some of the spotlight.

The Texas Congressman’s limited government, anti-tax and anti-war views have generated a loyal following among voters nationwide.

“We have a vision of what this country should be and we’re going to move forward with it no matter what happens in the presidential elections,” a female supporter said.

Many say the forthcoming election offers no choice.

Yeah well here is a hint for you. “YOU DON’T HAVE A CHOICE!”, ‘YOU DON’T PICK THE PRESIDENT IN THIS COUNTRY, HE IS SELECTED FOR YOU.”
You actually think your opinion on who should run for president counts? It doesn’t matter who you pick from the two, they won’t do what you want anyway.

It’s funny how Ron Paul has such a huge following and you never even heard about him on the nightly news. If you watch this video you will see how huge the crowd was. There were more people there for Ron Paul than there were at the actual Republican convention.

Oh, and I had to go to a foreign news source for this video report. Of course the us media wouldn’t cover Ron Paul. He doesn’t fit into the main stream game plan.
