Get rid of the homemade signs

[krott5333]

I'm not active, at all, in the current election or actively campaigning for Dr. Paul. Last election, I was the regional coordinator in Northwest Pennsylvania for the Paul campaign. So I was in it pretty heavily, and I was blinded by the idea that just maybe Ron Paul could win. Well, I was wrong, and I was naive.


Now that I'm on the outside looking in, still very much a fan and supporter of Ron Paul, I must beg you all to NOT USE HOME-MADE SIGNS.

They are BEYOND TACKY. Nothing says "wacko fringe candidate" like a home-made sign.

Okay, I get it, you spent all this time at your "sign-making party" and all of you are so excited about Ron Paul and blah blah blah.. yeah, I've been there, forget it.

Home-made signs are horrible. O'Reilly and Hannity is saying that Ron Paul is a fringe wacko, and home-made signs being held by people wearing "911 TRUTH" t-shirts are doing nothing but harm.

So try to step back now and then, remain tactful, and ACT AS IF. Act as if that Ron Paul is a top-tier candidate. Act as if he has a legitimate chance in the election. It's like trying to catch a girl that you have a crush on. Act like a desperate fool, and you'll only creep them out. Act as though it has legitimacy and possibly a chance at becoming reality, and people tend to take you more seriously.


Flame away, just my thoughts that I felt the need to share.

 

[affa]

You think you're the only guy who poured his guts out into Ron Paul and got hurt?

Get back on the horse man!!

 

[mosquitobite]

Personally, I like them because it shows he has real support with real people who put time and effort into his campaign. *shrug* I like the homemade signs BEST.

 

[Captain Shays]

I say make a home made sign but put a disclaimer on it that says "no big banker or corporate money paid for this sign"

Explain the Obama campaign in 08' actively handing out home made signs to make it look like he had grassroots support then. We actually do. Not a negative.

Pro & Cons to both mate.

I don't think my homemade sign looks tacky, does it?

 

[TakeThePowerBack]

The revolution sign is handmade and is possibly the best sign in political history. I would like too see more revolution signs. Word.

Of course, no offense. But anybody that isn't a machine who makes a sign, it will probably be tacky.

Not at all! I like it.

[PursuePeace]

Not at all! I like it.

me too.

Homemade signs take effort and shows passion.
What on earth could be wrong with that?

I think it kicks ass.

What are you talking about? Blinded by the idea that he could win? Have you been following things? If we work hard he can win! Sure, it's going to be hard, but I really think we can win this thing. If at first you don't succeed, try, try again!

Here is a true supporter who understands what is going on. It is kind of like Ron Paul's signature... it's not perfect... and that's the beauty of it. Nice work indeed!

 

[Muttley]

I've seen some pretty bad signs and home made shirts, but I still say it's better than doing nothing. This negative attitude crap has to stop.

 

[Kaulana]

I Like It!

Beast sign! I'm gonna use your sign as an inspiration for my sign.

 

[Okie RP fan]

At least our signs would be made in America...

 

[jlaker]

I like the homemade signs. They have personality and show supporters with there own unique tastes. Why have the same ole bland sign? I would rather have diverse signs that show all colors, shapes, designs, sizes just like ron paul supporters.

Become active in the rEVOLution again. I can't begin to describe how awesome it is to be part of the rEVOLution now that Ron Paul is finally winning, ESPECIALLY after 3 years of being the ultimate underdog.

 

[McDermit]

Oh hi guys, I gave up on this campaign and haven't contributed anything this election style, but I still feel obligated to come here and shit on your parade.

OP, please go.
