Actually, correction on the two posts above: it's commonly said that the CPD was formed in retaliation to Ross Perot's inclusion in the '92 debate, that's not actually true. The CPD began hosting the fall debates in 1988 and did, in fact, host the debates that Perot participated in during the...

I also think writing in Ron Paul is a waste of time, although it is usually a harmless waste of time (organizing write-in campaigns for him, however, is not harmless: it's taking time and energy away from liberty candidates downballot that could actually win). However, those who have said that...

The leaders that practically hate us are different than the regular Republican primary voters. Most of them, believe it or not, actually like Ron Paul, even if they didn't necessarily want him as their presidential nominee. They are the ones we need to build bridges with. They want Romney-Ryan...

Don't buy it, then. I use an iPad to read, but it costs more. It's worth it to me. It won't be to most people and the ads subsidize the cost of these devices, getting them into the hands of more people. Free market at work.

Question: what did Newt Gingrich get? He got more votes than Ron Paul got. Did his political successor get a speaking slot? Did he get a tribute video? Did he get to keep his delegates? No. Did he get specific policies of his added to the party platform? I don't believe so (admittedly I could be...

The Romney campaign, as the presumptive nominee, planned and organized much of the convention since the summer. If it were brokered then no, he would be unable to be involved.

He clearly wants to be seen as supporting it, otherwise he just wouldn't have released anything about the bill.

BREAKING: most political campaigns fail. There are dozens of candidates for president, and only one can win. We came closer than most and got tons of new supporters, candidates, and in whole, a better GOP for it. We have to keep working, and there will be more failures along the way.

I think some are confusing a speaking slot with a nomination speech. If Paul had gotten his name into nomination (and he still may have, I think there's questions about some other states) then he would have gotten a fifteen minute nomination speech that he could use to "campaign" for the...

The presidential alert on the WEA system would be the same as activating the national broadcast Emergency Alert System. The same national EAS system that in fifty years of it's existence, through four major wars, two presidential assassinations, and a major attack, has never been used. Local...

In all seriousness, this system is starting this year but it does not work through the SMS system. It uses a broadcast message technology that only works with some newer phones (so far, select Android phones on Verizon and iPhones starting with iOS 6 this fall). Basically this brings the...

Glad to see sane, rational thinking.

It's not incredibly unusual to have a hired strategist, basically, to direct a party's political activities. The chair still has control of the party but they would hire someone that would advice the best course of action for the party to take to help win in the state, especially in a state as...

Um... pretty much every ticket I can think of has been decided on and announced well before the convention. While it's up to the delegates to approve the choice, I can't think of a time in recent memory in which the choices of the nominee were denied at the convention. And the vice-presidency is...

Um... we all want Ron Paul to be the nominee. But Romney won over three times the amount of popular votes as Ron Paul so far. It's hard to make an argument that he doesn't have the support of the GOP. If things had turned out better for us, and our positions had been switched, you'd be fine...
