What the hell is wrong with you people?!
Dude. People who have different opinions than you don't belong to a cult of trolls only intent on spreading negativity. Moreover, there's nothing on thegreenpapers.com or elsewhere to suggest McCain won't be the nominee. Even if he died, it wouldn't make Paul the Republican nominee by default!
I agree.
I've seen several times when GoPaul08 is attacked for being a troll and breeding negativity, when in fact he has NEVER done this in the posts I've read from him.
He, myself, and thousands of others are in this for the "long-term project" (
Ron Paul's words).
If the primary point of the Presidential Campaign was to educate and ignite a Revolution, IT HAS SUCCEEDED!!! Why the hell are people so narrow minded as to define victory ONLY as getting Ron Paul elected President? It makes me wonder who the REAL trolls are....
Now, what are we going to do with this success? Will we continue to focus on
pipe dream scenarios or will we learn from this process, support Liberty Candidates (Ron Paul asked us to do), build the grassroots movement with leaders in every precinct in the country (Ron Paul asked us to do), spread the message of Freedom (Ron Paul asked us to do), and take over the Republican party from within by joining our local groups (Ron Paul asked us to do)?
Instead these people want to either waste more money trying to convert other candidate's delegates, or try to FORCE Ron Paul to run as a third party or independent when he has made it perfectly clear more than a dozen times that he has no intention of doing so.
For once, will some of you who claim to be supporters actually LISTEN to the man you support?
Why is it so darn black or white with you people?
My spirits are already lifted and I didn't need some fantasy scenario to lift them. I see the Movement starting to build an infrastructure that has a real chance of lasting.
I see thousands of people waking up who will never look at the MSM and other candidates the same way again. These are people that are beginning to question their Government and the lies that the media spoon feeds them.
THAT is the real victory here.
It has spawned countless other Grassroots projects and dozens of new candidates that are willing to take a stand and run for office to make a difference.
Yet, instead of supporting these other candidates, some of you have a gambling addiction. You keep looking at impossible odds and hope that the next pull of the slot machine, or the next lottery ticket will solve all of your problems.
Ron Paul worried about this. He worried that people would define the success of this campaign as him becoming the nominee. He has tried to club you over the friggin head and slap some sense into you that
THIS IS BIGGER THAN ONE MAN.
Other people claim that this is "giving up" or they say "well what else should we do?"
WHAT?!!!
Anyone who doesn't know what else they can do or actually thinks that not supporting this unrealistic scenario is giving up, I can only conclude that they really ARE a troll (and I hate defining people as such) because NO ONE who reads these forums could possibly be sitting there thinking "what else could I do". There are quite literally thousands of posts on the subject, not to mention Ron Paul's own videos.
