Ron Paul Blocked From Speaking At GOP Convention In Tampa Bay

No suprise to Ron Paul supporters, even his own party is trying to ignore him, this could get ugly, I hope this does not put of his supporters from attending the convention.

Here is an article from the Washington Times about Ron Paul’s omission from the speaking schedule

WASHINGTON, August 21, 2012 – It looks like the “liberty man” is not going to be given an official speaking slot at the Republican National Convention in Tampa at the end of the month. Texas congressman Ron Paul is missing from the RNC’s list of announced speakers, The Blaze reported Friday.

Although this is hardly an unexpected omission, it has served to heighten the tension surrounding the event. Delegates from all over the country will meet in Florida on August 27th to nominate the Republican Party’s presidential candidate and Barack Obama’s opponent. Paul supporters, which comprise a hefty number of the delegates, will certainly be making their presence felt, as they have been doing for months. 

The Ron Paul Campaign has planned a rally to be held on the afternoon of August 26th, with the theme ‘We Are the Future – A Rally for the Liberty Delegates’. Another rally organized by Paul’s supporters will run simultaneously in Tampa.

These events are expected to draw huge crowds and put a spotlight on Paul’s gigantic influence, despite the Republican Party’s snub. 

Paul supporters, of course, are still holding out for a Ron Paul presidency. Although it is becoming increasingly likely that the party will nominate Mitt Romney at the convention, it is theoretically possible for Paul’s delegates to pull off a last-minute takeover next week.
