Bahh.. Bahh.. A little pshycology

[Basilieus]

So what do sheep do? Follow? Go with the majority? Go with the flow? Follow the trend?

What if we started to do this. On every blog, movie, posting, vlog, W/E. We started to phrase our comments and responses as follows:

Instead of:
"Ron paul 2008! Hope for america!"
"Vote Ron paul!"
"Bring our troops home!"

We say something like sheep:
"I've been following the candidates closely, I was attracted to <fill in the blank>, but after hearing Ron paul I became a believer."

"You know I've heard a lot about this Ron paul guy and he seems to be the only one talking sense about anything... etc"

"Wow, I knew nothing about Ron paul, I just thought he was another one of those D-Bags, but man was I surprised to read this..."

You know what I mean? basically rendering our posts as if we are part of the majority switching to Ron paul.

I don't know, what do you all think? I did it today on youtube, it was fun!

Shilling for Ron Paul

Shilling for Ron Paul

It works im serious, I just checked my youtube account and some person messaged me and said, "I just started to watch RonPaul videos, was this same video you were interested in?"

Take it as the bad grammer, but w/e

Edit: think about it, its better than someone constantly reading, "Ron PAUL!! FREEEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM" every 2 posts.

I would rather people wake the hell up and research and think for themselves but since that doesn't seem to be happening quickly enough, I would rather it be RP supporters mind controlling the sheeple than the neo-cons ! We can wake them up later .

This is very effective. People are far more likely to be converted by someone they feel is closer to their own views. It's scientifically proven!

Congratulations....you've officially learned to use words to manipulate, just like Frank Luntz!!!!!!!

I heard a caller on C-span the other day who said he was leaning towards Ron Paul but he also liked Romney. He was very sincere and I thought it was much more effective than sounding like a "fringe RP supporter".

Save the sheep from walking off the cliff, then wake them up later!

I have used this too, with success . . .

"Yeah, I used to support Huck (barf!) too, until I started reading up on Ron Paul . . ."

 

[Xenophage]

Yes, this is happening more than you think, I've done it before... everyone should do it a little bit

The downside is that its hard to tell when someone really *IS* a converted Ron Paul supporter

Not at all, you will know when they vote and money comes in Not something we really need to focus on, but if you think about it, it is WAY more effective for someone to read that, than the constant barrage of RP slogans and phrases.
