SF Repub Straw Poll cancelled Dec 4 Ron Paul

[atexasembassador]

This just happened here in Texas too! They cancelled our straw poll due to "lack of interest" even though Texas is buzzing with political energy.... we have TWO cantidates in the race. Everyone seems to have an opinion... and as a republican I want my voice to be heard.... you embody the essence of what is broken in the GOP and this -WILL- change. Democracy is not open to interpretation!

[mikeshanklin]

Stupid brainwashed neocons and Keynesian, liberals.......both parties are destroying us.

i guess straw polls are just bullshit then huh...

[RTBreal]

I was at the St Petersburg, FL straw poll. They ran it, except the 20 Romney supporters (literally, at best) somehow produced over 890 votes. Guess who came in second.

You people running the polls are the real spammers. We're WATCHING you.

[RosenKrantz666]

Great job!!!! what a clueless idiot, stuttering speechless fool, that woman is. Hard to rationalize bullshit. Ohh didn't like the result so I'm gonna cancel, it. What are we in, in Mugabe's backyard? RP2008!!!

[ConsensusTrance]

Great video! Thanks for posting. Don't know if anybody else noticed, but it looked like the "nanny state" was in charge of that straw poll and the men were the ones getting rowdy. Maybe American men are starting to finally get their balls back

[mongoose7001]

straw polls are retarded anyway lol

[subcin]

I havent heard that much nervous stuttering since the days of Porky Pig. What an eloquent speaker she is.

[wassupbrah]

how could she do that? Its really sad to watch..

[twopotatoesonecarrot]

Paying for voting in a poll about our canidates, isnt American in nature.

[NP323]

Dr. Paul has cured my Apathy...

Has anyone else noticed after "You Tube" went down for system maintenance a couple days ago,

that it has reconfigured how it classifies most watched and most viewed?

Before this happened "Ron Paul" videos were easy to find in the "most watched list"....

Thanks to this new system he has been buried and requires way more effort to locate his message...

This is not an improvement "You Tube" you are doing us all a dis service... bring back the good old days..

[sfgop]

way to go gail. better to cancel a vote then let lying wacko's rig the voting. Oh wait, they lie, cheat and steal......they are in the part after all!

[Luna7251983]

yeah! We sure dont want to REALLY take a pulse of what America really wants. We will TELL them what to think, Gail. How DARE those RP supporters try to participate! Dont they understand that the Elections are only a ruse? We want the ELITES to guide our lives for us!

[xp1234567890]

Organizer Forced to Cancel the Poll due to POLITICS!

"I am cancelling the straw poll...

That's part of politics, being able to support those that are _________?" @1:26

POLITICAL LINKS: Organizer Gail Neira stated that she is a close friend of Sam Aanestad, a California Senator, who spoke and actively endorsed Fred Thompson. Fred08 Leaflets were also placed at every dinner seat.

[electrictoothsyndrom]

We're RON PAUL Republicans now. If the party can't handle that, then we will DESTROY that party and build a party of our own from the smoldering ashes.

Let the schism commence! This is my 95 Thesis to the Republican Party... Lead or GET OUT OF THE WAY, because the Ron Paul Republicans are taking over!

[electrictoothsyndrom]

Let's take these people down once and for all! Let's hit them with a primary they'll never fucking forget!

Who's with me!?

Meetup Groups listen: elect the best candidate(s) from your meetup groups and RUN THEM FOR CONGRESS!!! Run for STATE REP! JUST RUN!

[electrictoothsyndrom]

Funny that she doesn't have any of those thought-out "reasons" while talking out here ass on stage that she came up with later to include in her little "explanation" video.

Fuck this woman. She is a scam and deserves to be ridiculed out of public life forever for this. What a discredit to the Republican Party. Where's Fred Thompson's statement on all of this!?

[inlonging]

watch?v=3OveS7hEzcY

here's Gail's video response! you guys have to watch this, it's amazing!

[sentencing]

All I CAN SAY IS...

REMEMBER December 16.... need i say more?

[clockworkadamn]

What... the.... fuck.... How social has our country become?

[janeleone]

LOL!!! There is too many of you! Help! Help! THere are too many Ron Paul supporters! Call it off! Call it all off, there are too many!

It's over 9000!!!!!!!!!

[sentencing]

LOL! best comment ever!!

[janeleone]

Tyranny is upon us everyone. We have lost our nation. THey will not let a true man in, they will ONLY let in the anointed Fascists.

Hitlery is our next fiat dictator. It's official. All is lost, there will be no USA soon. Goodbye Constitution Goodbye Country, Hello Police State Tyranny Fascist Plutocracy and World Government.

[evanparker2134]

This is a joke. Politics today is corrupt, subjective, partisan, and is in desperate need of reform...

[mdavedc]

If polls get Cancelled, then voters will ignore the results. If the election gets stolen and effectively cancelled then the will of the people will be to ignore the result.........and follow the truth and collect their political inheritence which is their Constitution

[flufbus]

This is fucking bullshit that just because a lot of people from one campain show up it isn't fair to everyone else? WHAT THE FUCKING HELL?!? This lady is fucking crazy and should not be working for the election.

[yourgayassdrinkspiss]

Yes it is bs. Now stop flaming the board like a Chimp and posting in CAPS.

[peace0ff]

[acerusso]

ron paul supporters just harrass people. they make me sick

[IClaudiusV]

Not all RP supporters are as truly stupid as the ones shown in this video and the ones posting in this forum. This is embarrassing!

[peace0ff]

you're life is embarrassing! get some help you fat disgusting pig.

[IClaudiusV]

It's "Your" not "you're"

I'm here to help you from "your" ignorance.

[peace0ff]

blablabla it's called a typo.

Look I just found one of yours a little lower down. "dosnt"

[wonderfluf]

Then why are you here? There is a big red X at the top of your screen. I suggest you click it.

[IClaudiusV]

Im here to be a cramp in your ass, slick.

[peace0ff]

exactly, he's here to be a "cramp". a asshole, a loser if you will. as I said it is the neocon douchebags who cannot handle real republican voters. they need to get the fuck out of our party. it was our party before it was there's.

[IClaudiusV]

LOL! Your grammar and spelling is excellent. Where do you get the idea that I am a neo-con?

[peace0ff]

OH LOOK, I just found one of yours a little lower down. "dosnt"

tre brill douchebag.

BWAHAHAHAHAAHAA

[IClaudiusV]

So, why am I a neo-con?

[flufbus]

It seems like you like to group people. You seem extremely ignorant.

[yourgayassdrinkspiss]

Yet you just did the same thing, retard

[flufbus]

How so?

[bigeffendeal]

humm, I wonder if that lady is the same kind of person who would favor rigging an election?

All you other fake dinner/straw poll hosts take notice, Ron Paul supporters are EVERYWHERE and we are comming to take our country back ,we are comming to return decency and honor to America.

[Ceeby]

Your country is the most powerful in the world. Please choose your President carefully. Vote Ron Paul 2008. Thank you.

[Ceeby]

I'm not american but if I was I would vote for Ron Paul. All the world is watching, waiting and praying that you all come to your senses and vote for the most honest presidential candidate that you have had for a long long time. Dont let us down please.

[CynicalSavior]

REVOLUTION NOW

[heyerstandards]

So Fred Thompson supporters favor Democracy, but only if the right people win??

This is so sad. Did that guy at the end of the video get the picture of that woman. How can she live with herself? what will become of her after the people take their country back?

[Userduder]

Libertarianism is one hop skip and away from anarchy. Rent-a-mob carpetbaggers.

[cwinig]

neoconservatism is one hop skip away from tyrrany

[Userduder]

The "NEW" Conservatives are actually the Libertarians. Look it up.

[frankareno]

I guess I dont understand the reasoning behind not allowing the vote? The speaker said that she didnt expect so many ppl. Hmm, I still dont see why the vote wasnt done? I do wonder though if all those RP supporters had been Giuliani and/or Romney supporters if this straw poll would still been cancelled?

[IClaudiusV]

Rabble rabble rabble rabble rabble rabble.

And to think I support RP...

I think I read one rational response in this entire string of comments.

[ofcol1962]

The list of straw pools RP has been cheated from is becoming long - San Francisco, Florida, Texas (all documented on youtube) and google "ron paul straw poll" to see more, particularly the "pajamas media" one where he won by such a landslide they removed his name on their next poll!

[Drighten]

This is America today...there is a big difference between true freedom and the ILLUSION of freedom. We the people have been scammed.

[IClaudiusV]

No, the people who went to the straw poll got scammed out of 5 bucks. BFD! The only illusion is your assumption of what we, the people, (note the comma usage) have consciously created over the past 200+ years in this country. RABBLE

[Drighten]

No 5 bucks isn't the issue. But this is just a small piece of the pie. That's how they operate...one piece of the pie at a time while no one is looking. Only later to realize someone stole the WHOLE pie. This isn't the end of their program...just stay tuned.

[ByronKelly]

i don't think there is any confusion between "true freedom" and the "illusion of freedom" those terms are self-explanatory.

[IClaudiusV]

In this straw poll the organizer can freely choose to let you morons vote. It is her private assembly. She chose not to, and gave your money back. She was probably scared of you irrational dickheads and decided to let the RP supporter speak. I, personally, would have pulled the trigger on you fuckin rabble! And I am voting for Ron Paul!

[IClaudiusV]

I do know the difference between freewill and the illusion of freewill. I also know about the idea of a prison with no bars. But your argument is to not allow free people the right to hold PRIVATE assemblies in the manner in which they choose. This was NOT a public forum. It does not matter that this lady was ill. MORONS, RABBLE, FOOLS

[robocar]

thats bullshit. so much for hearing the voice of the people. even when RP wins in primary votes the GOP is probably going to pull another stunt like this.

[newborneelf]

This is it!!!! REVOLUTION!!!!!

[devDelay]

TREASON! FRAUD!

[IClaudiusV]

Can you define treason for us please?

[xciteful]

They should have laughed her off the stage and went ahead with the straw poll.

[gruzman]

huh? won by too much? what the hell is going on? what if this happens at a federal level? "ok everybody, recount!"

[livanletliv]

when did voting become "just a bit too much"? seems like we're living in a totalitarian state already when they start pulling this kind of B.S.... dec 16 is gonna be REALLY BIG when this gets out! TEAPARTYTIME....RP08

[clevername333]

why don't we start showing up to these polls incognito... and then pulling out the signs and all that after the voting. We need to be covert, and overt when appropriate.

The establishment is obviously scared. Pathetic.

We The People.... incognito?

[clevername333]

wow......... this is some crazy bull shit right here.

[fookman]

this woman needs to reconnect your brain to her mouth. does she even know what she's saying.

[SpySlowhands]

Land of the free? Yeah, whatever America.

[livanletliv]

we don't want a "workshop later" with your bullshit Neo-Con lies and propaganda....  WE WANT TO VOTE....NOW!!!

ronpaulrevolution2oo8

[thorntongifts]

cmon californians,you should have called for a vote silly,that is what ron would have done.

WE STILL LOVE YOU FELLOW PAULERS!!!

[thorntongifts]

omg this is insane!Im so pissed this is real!

VOTE RON PAUL,if thisnt a VOTE RON PAUL AD,i dont know what is

[windmanZZ]

any chance this clip will make the national headlines?? this video needs to be shown to the masses, its just the beginning! share with all in your addressbook, and then have them forward it. to me its like $33 worth of fuel, and its time to burn baby!

[marqujg]

This fucking woman is a tool! I would rip this bitch a new hole.

[Tedhunter83]

"Let's face it, I didn't expect this number - it's just not quite fair to the rest of my guests who've paid a lot more, and y'know, put in a lot of more time to attend this evening."

Ok Gail - so when Tea Party '07 hits, and Ron Paul raises all those millions, then goes on to the White House, you won't get any of the liberty. It just wouldn't be fair to his supporters who paid a lot more for it.

[pootron]

Clearly a biased cancellation because they sold the tickets and knew how many $5 vs $33 (dinner included) tickets got sold, they just didn't expect so many Ron Paul supporters. Refunding the money doesn't compensate for the TIME Ron Paul supporters took to get there and wait. Neo-cons aren't even real Republicans.

[johndennis1]

For those of you participating in the campaign, enjoy this time, it's special. And make it count. Good guys like Dr. Paul are the rarest of breeds.

As for Gail Neira, don't be too hard on her. She clearly didn't make the decision to cancel the poll and was left in the awkward, indefensible position of announcing it. Shame on the cowards you forced her to do this and left her alone to deal with the aftermath.

[riffjiff]

Ah, dude she's guilty by association, Like the one guy said "she's part of the problem"

No more Neo con Jobs..vote Ron Paul 2008

I wonder if these people realize that by simply allowing the vote to continue they may be helping to avoid a violent revolution. I know that may seem obsurd but this appears to be a wide-spread and on-going problem.

[IClaudiusV]

Yes, it seems very absurd. Note the spelling of "absurd" also, OK?

[johndennis1]

I'm John and I posted this video. Mario took the video and came to my office last night so we could upload it. Thanks to Mario. And a special thanks to Chuck, who I met for 5 minutes on the phone last night and who worked into the early morning to compress and touch up the video. These two are examples of the spirit of the Ron Paul 2008 campaign.

[rcon1]

Thank you sir for this soon to be viral post. Nothing says bullshit when you see bullshit and there no amount of spinning to clean this one up.

[livanletliv]

you're a bit much you cheating hag. So, i see. if they can't win it by multiple fraudulent voting like they did in the Fla straw poll where Dr Paul was denied the victory by the cheating Romney rats, they'll just arbitrarily cancel the poll!! UN...F%^&*#^%...BELIEVABLE. ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING to make sure Dr Paul does not WIN!!! .RonPaulRevolution2oo8

[kellann55]

Sick!! But remember, like Mr. Epstein commented this wasnt the Republican Party. It was the Republican Alliance not affiliated with the GOP. Straw polls are full of shit anyway. I hate that this happened and this woman should be fired, but we must work to reclaim and win back our party and make it what it should be: the GRAND old party!

[freesk8]

Disgraceful.

[gillybymarriage]

I guess I really don't understand what a straw poll is. I will go look it up, but from what I've seen lately it seems to be more of a fundraiser for whoever sets it up?

I honestly thought they were open cast-your- vote for who you want, so the country could kind of get a feel for who was popular.

I'm not kidding, I really am confused.

Can anyone explain?

[freedomcorp]

Looks like ol Fred's party got crashed. I think the Santa suit kept things from getting ugly.

[steelersgurl73]

WOW... This video leaves me speechless, sad and disgusted. This campaign process has truly opened my eyes. Ron Paul needs us more then ever!! Show your support... teaparty07 dot com

[BahNDesire]

Ron Paul rides again!

[Oneseye]

Oh come on...chinken??? that was a little extreme for that enviorment...But WTF?!?!? TO LATE!!!!!!!!!!! FUCK HER!!! She is SCUM

[sox24tk]

My first thought upon seeing this was to post a rude comment about that lady. But I will take the high road, as we all must do, and keep striving towards the goal of getting Ron Paul elected. Obstacles will continue to stand in our way, but change is brewing it will soon become clear that there is no way they are going to stop it.

RP '08

[heebygeeby1]

lol that dumb broad only caused chaos by doing that. she should also learn how to speak. does she even know how to speak proper english? holy shit!

[YazDawg]

Some of you acted pretty immature.

[takadi]

I agree

[IClaudiusV]

Shamefully immature! These people are so carried away in their individual emotional bullshit that they forget who they are there to represent.

[YazDawg]

Whoever called her a chicken better not be a Ron Paul supporter. I'm sure that had to be a Romney supporter.

[27701572]

That was disgusting.

[GTalker1977]

She has to be regretting that decision...

[IClaudiusV]

I doubt seriously that she regrets refusing a vote. Those people acted ridiculous and childish. I think they need to restrict the alcohol before these events.

[FreakinFresno]

I have been attending local GOP meetings in Fresno. The GOP establishmnet can't figure this Ron Paul guy out. Limited government, less taxes, strong defense, follow the Constitution, WTF are we crazy Ron Paul supporters thinking?

Fresno Straw Poll Ron Paul won with 35% and over 140 attending.

[sseedragon]

Republican Straw Poll canceled because to many people showed up to vote for Ron Paul ... WoW!!! ...

How can you cancel a Straw Poll because toooo many people were there to vote?

[GTalker1977]

This should have been posted earlier...much better than the other two

[bwilson32]

The Republican party is like a little old church set in their ways who desires no new members. Well, Ron Paul has arrived and the REVIVAL is coming!

Ron Paul will shock the little church, and nation, in the primaries.

[midwestcharm]

What a dumb twit she is........So much for a democratic process and showing up to represent. They wanted people there, just "the right kind". Dirtbags

[Jeff000000000000000]

If it wasn't endorsed by any repubican party, who was doing the straw poll? where was the money going to? will they try to hold another straw poll in secret? SF RP supporters, keep you eyes open. whatch out for these secret staw polls.

[HowardEpstein]

This is a group call the S.F. Republican Alliance, a private group that is not chartered by any recognized or non-recognized Republican organization.

I don't know where the money goes or if they will try to hold a secret straw poll. The S.F. Republican Party will not be holding a straw poll.

[bwilson32]

We have to wonder why you won't be holding a straw poll this time around? If Ron Paul weren't in the race, would you?;)

[HowardEpstein]

No. We never have.

[Imissfreedom]

maybe you should consider being more democratic Mr.Epstein. Your group would probably enjoy partaking in a freedom that

our soldiers are dying for.

[riffjiff]

Well, even if this event wasn't sanctioned by the SFGOP it still makes you guys look very bad indeed! How blantant! what a scam rigged voting, and what has the SFGOP done to give Ron Paul equal time? hm? Do not ignore the will of the people, we want RP and you dam well better get on board or there won't be a neo-con job party any more!!!Ron Paul 2008

[listentous]

Thank you for AGAIN exposing the weak attempts of the establishment to stifle the truth of our great nation: The Constitution. Tell everyone you know to research Ron Paul, his voting record and the consistency of his message.. a return to what made this nation great... The Constitution!!

[outofideas4names]

If this is freedom, what's the police state going to look like?

[ddstar]

Sad

[sakahowdah]

Can someone please tell me what this was all about. Refund..? Too many people..?

[soulmantim]

The SF GOP was holding a strawpoll $33 per plate and vote or $5 per vote. Tons of people showed up to vote for Ron Paul so she cancelled the strawpoll.

[sakahowdah]

Well who's side is she on..? Sounds like a conspiracy to me.

Thx for your reply soulmantim.

GO RON PAUL

[IClaudiusV]

"supports our reasing to elect the likes of Dr Paul"

rcon1: The likes of Ron Paul as opposed to whom?

[rcon1]

Anyone else on presidential ticket, either party, sorry neo-con were not going to stand for this crap ever again, never ever.

[IClaudiusV]

Why do you assume that I am a neo-con?

[ofcol1962]

And then the RP supporters offered to pay the $33 and THEN she said "no that's not right either" - she stammered all the way though and never offered a reason for the cancellation

[radiofriendly]

Are we ready for this to happen at the primaries!?

[saadasim]

Microcosm of the general election if Ron Paul gets nominated. Powers that be are not ready for Ron Paul but freedom loving Americans will not settle for a country without the US Constitution.

[mike6459]

take your foot out of your mouth lady

[Raimunelar]

Wow, this is insane. Cancel the poll because you know who will win? This should be all over the media to show how strong the support for Ron Paul is!

[NeonKnight88]

GOGO RON PAUL

[mariasweaver3]

wHO THE HELL DOES SHE THINK SHE IS TO IMPOSE HER WILL ON THE PEOPLE. SHE HAS NO RIGHT TO IGNORE ALL THOSE REPUBLICANS, JUST BECAUSE THEY HAPPEN TO SUPPORT RON PAUL.

[SuperAtheist]

well we know Ron Paul won and by her reaction it was another landslide!

[IClaudiusV]

She did impose her will on the people, and the "people" took it, didn't they?

[Biffobags]

Notice she offered the $33 dollar folks a chance to still vote...lol.

For the naw sayers that call the Paul supporters (insert negative word here) EVERY candidate who has supporters can do the same, the fact is other than the "polls" they have no supporters, they dont show up at events, they dont vote after debates and they do not donate...BECAUSE they do NOT exist!!

[Luther1921]

Unbelievable.

[Biffobags]

I guess we are at the part "then they Fight you" 1 step away from Then you win.
