How does this win votes for Ron Paul exactly?

qwerty: I just watched those you have in your signature. My god those are good, especially "when in the course of human events..." Excellent stuff!
"How rude you are," one well-dressed older woman said to a Paul supporter clad in a T-shirt and shorts.
Im gonna assume here that the RP supporters were friendly and nonaggressive. Thats my hope at least. Showing up to the event/gun show was a good idea.

Take a look at this video also!
Ron Paul Speaks for me.

And don´t forget to show those videos to everyone you know!
When people see that they are wrong, they usually take the attack mode.

I still don't get why some of you are ok with tactics like this. Sure you have the right to "protest" like that and express yourself, but from a campaign standpoint, this is ridiculous. Better time could be spent elsewhere informing people rather than harassing a group who already made up their minds. For every person you convert in this matter, you might make several enemies who would go out of their way to promote negativity toward Ron Paul that they would not of have in the first place. Hold up a abortion lobby sign or anti gun rights that reflect the truth, but opposition candidate signs at someone's rally is just pointless.

1. It's an excuse for a rally and gets signs on the street for the masses to see, including primarily the people who are just walking by and not even there for the other guy's event.
2. It puts cracks in the first tier lie. When a "nil chance" candidate has that many people out to support him at events he didn't even organize, over and over again, it's very hard to keep the illusion he doesn't have a chance. This tactic works even toward people there for Fred, since a good portion of them don't necessarily like everything he stands for but believe the notion they must vote for someone who they have been told has a chance (I have talked to these people, I know this tactic is working).
3. It gets media coverage, even accidental coverage, as this video shows so well.
4. It has a psychological effect on the other campaigns that everywhere they go, Ron Paul is already there.

Roflmao!!!!
Seriously, though, there is a lot of support for Fred Thompson around where I am.
I hit a gun show back in July and many people I talked to said they were waiting
for him to get into the race. The people who are signing up to run as delegates
to the national convention are signing up to be his delegates. But I have noticed
his supporters have something in common. They are predominately white, male,
and of a "certain age". I have not spoken with a single young person who
supports him. What Ron Paul has going for him is diversity. He attracts from a
larger demographic than Fred Thompson. We can only hope this will carry him
through. If Fred Thompson is the nominee, Hillary Clinton will be the next
president and the Republicans will have gone down the tubes and deservedly
so.
