SF Straw Poll cancels once Ron Paul Supporters show (UPDATE)

submitted by blankfist

1 decade 6 years 5 months 2 weeks ago

From YT: "San Francisco's Only Republican Presidential Straw Poll 12-4-07 cancelled despite protest from Ron Paul Supporters"

[UPDATE]
A big thanks to eric3579 for pointing me in the direction of this video which is a better version than the one I had up, so I've updated it. The old (and shorter) video can still be seen here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=IcNK3zYc5ts

Update From YouTube:
"Added: December 05, 2007
SF Straw Poll
NOTE: The complaints only started after the poll was cancelled.
I paid my $33 for the dinner and vote. A $5 option was also offered to vote after the festivities. We patiently listened to the guest speaker support Fred Thompson and talk on the issues of water and budget problems in California. They then held a raffle, while all the "cheap" voters waited in the lobby. When they finally let them in, the room was flooded with Ron Paul supporters and the organizer notified us the poll was cancelled. I started the video after the initial announcement and pandemonium broke out. The sudden cancellation and an attempt to change the rules, understandably, upset quite a few people.

Thanks eric3579, for finding this (better) version online.

look at those old people holding their heads down in shame. They know what they are involved in is wrong.

Gotta love the dude at the end gettin in her face!

The fixed game wasn't going to go their way so they close up shop.

Assholes.

Ahhh. This kind of vocal outrage at a political function that's usually so stuffy is refreshing to see! There is hope yet.

Get used to it guys + gals, and don't despair. This is the way it's supposed to work. You rock the boat and all the comfy people start trying to push you out.

It's really starting to creep me out how the media engine is straining against RP. Just today there was an article in the Globe and Mail (Cdn) about how RP supporters are mostly "internet crazies". Wow.

Don't give up!

It's blankfist's 9/11. RON PAUL! NEVAR FORGET!

Because it is still important to know that main stream parties have agendas beyond what people want. Red, blue, ass or elephant.
