I had this very same discussion with my parents yesterday. Both said the same exact thing. Hatred for liberals runs extremely high in Republican circles.
I think this is exactly what happened to our "Liberty-Values Coalition"... It gave people a bad taste right from the get-go. *sigh* That was a long day of defeat... I'm glad we got James Dunn in there though, even if he isn't an RP. Right now, someone who isn't afraid to include us is a small...
I've only seen RP signs (which I yell Ron Paul for the WIN! when I see)... I saw one lousy Obama sign on Feb 5th (now gone).
I haven't seen any other candidates signs other than the one.
Excellent post, american.swan! I agree with every point, and when I get up to give my "vote-for-me" speech for national delegate, it will be pretty much like that. Here are MY values, and this is why I have them... and uhh, vote for me! :)
While I agree with what you are doing in principle... I believe that it is a waste of time. You flood faxes with this everyday, and it will get thrown away by a secretary -- everyday.

lol, that would be funny.
I must have not got the "Give up and go home" memo...
I'm now the precinct chairman in my precinct.
I'm now a delegate to my county convention.
I'm on the platform committee of that same county.
I'm slated to run for national delegate at our district convention here in 12 days.
I ain't givin'...
