Paul-Mania On Its Way To The North Star State

This tells us that the “Paulistas” are going to stage their own little party the week of the Repug National Convention in Minneapolis in September (CNN reports that the rally will be held at the University of Minnesota).

I just want to take a minute and take particular note of the fact that, apparently, Dr. Paul was denied the opportunity to speak at the convention because he opposes the Iraq war, completely opposed to the stated position of John W. McBush, the party’s all-but-named nominee for president.

Henceforth, I will remind any person of this fact who chooses to note (erroneously) that former PA governor Bob Casey was denied the opportunity to speak at the 1992 Democratic position because he opposed abortion (he opposed the Clinton-Gore ticket, and yes, there is a difference).

And at least Casey was given an invitation to the convention; apparently, Dr. Paul isn’t even going to receive that courtesy.
