Apparently, some of you have never fought an uphill battle in your lives. If we're smart, we learn and gain knowledge from our failures that catapult us to our ultimate success. Life is not easy and life is not fair. You take the cards you're dealt and when every card in your hand is the lemon suit, then you make lemonade. Ron Paul is not going away; neither is his message. Any of us is free to jump ship any time we like. Things are going to get a whole lot hotter before this is over.
Yes, everything about campaigns and politics is rigged. Why do you think it's known as a dirty business. For heavens sake, this is nothing new. We're just seeing the high-tech version of it evolve. (Dead voters are so yesterday!) Remember last year when Karl Rove said with defiance that the Republicans were going to win? He knew "the math?" Well, he didn't know the math well enough, and whatever rigging they did was not enough. Everything we do has to be outside of the establishment's margin of error and outside of their limited view of the world. That's why the money bombs and the blimp and the air corp garnered attention--because they were way outside of the box and unexpected.
We can win by an unexpected MOE OR we can win at the convention. However it is that we do it, it will have to be WAY outside of the box and outside of anything that the establishment can imagine. In the meantime, we do everything that we can AND we expose everything while we're at it--like FOX's disgraceful performance and Frank Luntz's little production.
Come on, where's the fighting spirit? Each failure brings us closer to success. How many times did Benjamin Franklin fail? How many times did Thomas Edison fail? Let's snap out of it. For God's sake, let's don't pull a Hillary and let them see us sweat! (I can't believe that Hillary let a few tears flow in NH in front of supporters and reporters!) Let our only tears be tears of joy when we've earned them.
Many years ago in my first election, election night was really ugly. Results from the eastern part of the state flowed in and they were bad. I mean REALLY BAD! That was our strong hold! Then, what do you know, the rest of the state started pouring in from the incumbent's stronghold. And, you know what? We won. Who was the incumbent? We SHOCKED the state. Al Gore's father, Albert, Sr. It can be done, even against all odds.
No matter what, we must hold our heads high, because we represent Dr. Paul and no matter what happens, the fight goes on.
He's polling at less than 4% nationally...and averages anywhere from 2% to only 10% is state primary polls. If you feel that Paul has a chance...I'm sure that the Keyes camp could use some of that enthusiasm and/or delirium.
