pretty broad generalization BUT hey I will take a crack at this one.
We were complaining as well when kucinich was getting dumped on and even alan keyes for that matter. Am I going to stop campaigning for ron paul to acknowledge it and try and correct it NO but I dont think anyone PRETENDED that they didn't exist like what happens to ron paul all the time INCLUDING from the huckster himself EVEN as recent as yesterdays quote from him.
I hope you see the difference there.
I dont see that being an issue though, the huckster got blacked out and they want to know how the hell to fight it and come here because we live it on a daily basis and odds are HOPE we can help get their candidate back up in the lime light.
Issue is we are fighting for everything we can to get ron paul ANY air time we can and that is all I want to focus on. If you hadn't noticed we are not really swimming in the free airtime right now lol.
I did notice on the hucksters forums as well that they wanted to get ahold of rp supporters to get some email blasts to the msm going because they know we have been dealing with this as well.
All I have to say to that is this and NOT saying this to be rude in the least but take it as you will.
I dont agree with the huckster getting blacked out and think that equal air time should be given to anyone who is actively campaigning BUT I am not going to spend time trying to get ANOTHER candidate BACK into the media spotlight BESIDES ron paul because that is the candidate I support and personally if you hucksters hadn't noticed it really is not that easy to get in even with the very ACTIVE supporter base that we have.
I do not think it would be proactive for the ron paul supporter base to focus on trying to get the huckster equal airtime BUT I do agree that HIS supporters should. By all means it is b.s. that it happens to anyone but that is why we have us grassrooters right? We have to fight for our candidate and through all this we have stuck with ron paul and I assume many will stick beside the huckster as well.
Keep up the fight to getting back in and trust me it is going to be a FIGHT because now what I am seeing is mccain and guiliani lovin each other and romney doing everything he can to tell everyone that only 2 candidates exist at the moment.
The best thing that can be done is to research, get a solid grassroot support group going and pray alot. I dont know what your meetup group numbers are like BUT we are in the 100k range give or take and can get a ton of things done that way. I doubt you have that sort of base BUT it could grow.
Get ready though for a very large drop in votes and that will solely be to the no free air time and coverage that was given to the huckster this whole time. You guys need to canvass your ass off to actually get votes now.
Here is the easiest way to look at it,
Do you really believe that Republican Americans honestly agree with mccains views?
OR
Do you think they simply vote for him because he is shown ALOT, endorsed ALOT and is one of the so called TWO candidates to choose from?
Now even worse is this, without it coming off too bad. With romney being a mormon and there only now being 1 more candidate to choose from mccain, he is now going to pull the christian voters between him and mittens romney JUST because the huckster is not getting the free airtime anymore.
It is amazing what the medias power is really like BUT there it is and you will soon see how much power it really has over our nation. Its sad really....
Amen.
Those Ron Paul supporters complaining about Huckabee supporters suddenly wanting to ban together because of the recent media blackout need to rethink themselves.
Did we do anything when Duncan Hunter was not only ignored in the New Hampshire debates/forums, but he was excluded in one that Ron Paul was in? No, we didn't. We all said we were glad because now Ron Paul will get more time. And yes, he was still in the race at the time.
That worked out well for more time didn't it? Not really.
I applaud any and all Huckabee supporters who come here and deal with the bad and embrace the good within our supporters. I am glad that the majority here seem to be respectful. In all honesty, I was worried that it would be the other way around.
Don't attack others for having a different opinion, attack others for not having any opinion. And by attack, in this case, I mean a gentle encouragement to get involved.
Enjoy.
