The CNN Utube Debates in Wichita, Kansas - Ron Paul Grass Roots Meeting

I am an American, a Ron Paul supporter, and an AC producer. I do not work for the Ron Paul party and the following article is about the gathering that I attended with fellow Ron Paul supporters when we watched the CNN Utube debates. I do not speak for the Ron Paul party and this article is nothing more than my impressions of this meeting. I have never met Ron Paul and would never presume to speak for him or the Republican party.

I attended a gathering of Ron Paul supporters and we watched the CNN Utube debates.

A more diverse group could not have been cast unless it was on a prime time sitcom.

Our group included old, young, white, black, male, female and Hispanic. I am a believer in the don't ask don't tell policy so I can't say whether or not there was a gay among us. I am a Jew and I'm sure that Christians were represented as well.

During the debates several side bar conversations took place and I was as amazed by the diversity of opinions as I was by the diversity of the people.

Abortion was discussed. The pro-life and pro-choice sides were supported. The troops were supported and an immediate pull out was discussed. I spoke up and said I didn't support Ron Pauls immediate pull out policy. Someone implied illegal immigration was the cause of crime. Someone else said that was untrue. S-chip was discussed briefly as a few of us slipped out of the lovely suburban home to smoke.

We did all agree on a few things and I think these similarities may be why the Ron Paul supporters may truly be Americas Last Hope.
