Interesting, downtownresident, could you go into more detail?

Ron Paul brought the goon squad to Mesa Wednesday. The group was unruly, arrogant and downright militant. Littering and blantantly tresspassing as they raided downtown in packs that had more the look of gangs than political demonstrators.
I'm not sure why some of them weren't arrested for their actions.
I wouldn't vote for Ron Paul now, if he was the only one running.

Attention faithful Ron Paul Followers:
Ron Paul says he's on the hunt for convention delegates. It is obvious, now, he will bestow them to DON Corleone Romney.
"that's the name of the game." !!
Don Romney made an offer that Paul couldn't refuse, Rand Paul would be “honored”
to be VP pick. That is a BETRAYAL of major proportions to YOU !. Research for yourself
http://tinyurl.com/74cdcok
YOUR VOTE FOR PAUL = Vote for Romney.
If that is what you wish…FINE ! Otherwise Vote for Santorum.
Do you want a NOMINEE ( He'll never win the presidency ) that bribes and buys others ?
What kind of man would mislead, distort, and deceive just to win an election? This man would be Mitt Romney. Romney said he has always voted Republican when he had the opportunity. But in the 1992 Presidential Primary Romney had the chance to vote for George H.W. Bush or Pat Buchanan but he voted for a liberal Democrat instead. Romney said his investments in Fannie and Freddie were in a blind trust. But as reported in the National Journal, Romney earned tens of thousands of dollars from investments NOT in a blind trust. Romney denied seeing a false ad his campaign used to attack Newt Gingrich. But Romney's own campaign paid for the ad...Romney's own voice is on the ad approving the content.
ROMNEY CARE was paid by you, I and all taxpayers . The Olympics were paid and "saved" by $ 600 MILLION OF FEDERAL GOVERNMENT MONEY ! Google it !
You trusted Ron Paul, Don Corleone Romney can not be trusted,
“Rick Santorum is the ONLY conservative candidate who is positioned to defeat Obama because he can credibly and effectively attack the president for supporting big government healthcare mandates, government bailouts, and radical cap and trade initiatives,” Santorum advisor Hogan Gidley told The Daily Caller i
“Mitt Romney can’t attack Obama on any of those major issues because Gov. Romney agrees with Obama on ALLof them — and his attack and smear campaign is his way of avoiding his liberal record.”

Genial enjoy !
IN Rick Perry’s memorable phrase, Romney is a “vulture capitalist,
WE THE PEOPLE MUST BALANCE the power of the money and of OBVIOUS political last minute alliances. !
RE-POST , WE THE PEOPLE !

Dream Act -- Nothing but a reward for CRIMINALS that DO NOT DESERVE IT, OR HAVE EARNED IT!
Son Hee Williamson stated: “I understand that people want to come here, but do it legally.” -- Sounds FAIR. Son Hee Williamson EARNED her citizenship! By the way, welcome to America Son Hee! She also basically stated if she was able to learn ENGLISH as an adult, anyone could do it. I wonder why only ONE MINORITY wants the USA to kowtow to them. EVERYONE knows why. Over 80% of ILLEGAL ALIENS are Hispanic/Latino. Supporters WANT it easier for CRIMINALS to go on committing their CRIME.
"Taking it one step further, she mocked the influence of money in politics by saying, “We will support the richest, and Romney seems to be the richest, so we will support him.” -- Actually, OBAMA will probably have MUCH MORE MONEY to campaign with. Where are their comments about that?
