We're not going to win if we cant get our stuff together.

 

[Student Of Paulism]

The answer is simple, dude. Not enough of the people are waking up, and not enough people care about, or even know about the country's current affairs. Until that changes, nothing else will either.

 

[RonPaulRules]

We need to destroy the MSM.

 

[bsi]

individuals not groups, never be ashamed.

 

[hammy]

The MSM is a side-effect. The real enemy is the ignorance of the American people.

the campaign was all set to virtually skip SC and florida. It is a matter of money/expected return. So Ron wasn't really focusing on them, then when he got a bump from NH, they were surprised.

but the msm is much of the cause. People think they are getting news when they are getting spin.

The media and government both profit and gain power over ignorance. It is in their interest to keep the masses sedated and uneducated. We must do all that we can to wake up as many as possible. Get those awakened into office, and to change the future by having people that really care.

people have been dumbed down for so long and weened on ads selling them products that they can no longer evaluate the absolute value of something or measure right and wrong.

 

[Jtorsella]

Other countries are much worse.

As a foreigner, I want to tell you guys that I have never talked to so many interesting, principled, and friendly people anywhere than here. You guys are the true Americans. Don't resignate, just carry on with what you're doing, you know the truth, it's your duty and priviledge to spread it.

Eighty-four ethics charges were filed against Gingrich during his term as speaker. After extensive investigation and negotiation by the House Ethics Committee, Gingrich was sanctioned $300,000 by a 395–28 House vote. It was the first time in history a speaker was disciplined for ethical wrongdoing.

Voters ignore this past record in either ignorance or stupidity, perhaps even apathy, but then why even bother to vote for the Newt.

3 wives with a philosophy of an open marriage, how can any woman vote for this guy, how can moral conservatives vote for this guy?

^^ This. People need to start understanding politics 101. A message does not resonate with voters if the message is not marketed. The costs to market the candidate in SC and FL was not worth the potential return.

The voters in SC are not morons, the campaign did not market to them.

Blaming the citizens of SC is pointless. It is like if you launched a product that you felt was the world's greatest widget and the widget that everyone should own. And you sat there in your office bitching and moaning that no one in SC bought your widget, even though you didn't advertise your widget in SC.

Well, nationalism is depressing. Become an individualist and your self-esteem and identity will not rely on some collective. It really does improve your outlook on life.

Get the hell out of the USA as fast as you can if you can. We do shake our heads but still look for handouts. Im sure Newt and Mitt or Oby will keep sending us cash.

the rest of the world must look at us and shake their heads.....what has this country come to i ask? how is it remotely possible that this fat bastard ever get a single vote nevermind win a state?? a man who has cheated numerous times on all 3 yes 3 of his wives ever get a single vote? a man who has dodged our military in a time of need ever get a single vote, again i ask what has america come to? i am absolutely ashamed and very embarrased right now!!! i know its still early and we knew coming in that this would be a weak state for us, but for for a guy like newt to even be a candidate in this election is just appauling! where or where has our once great country gone?? ron please win it back for us! i beg of you!

Your comment assumes they are looking for news and not spin.

News has been around for a long time, spin doctors and the constant red meat of cable news is new.

News is boring... Spin is news delivered by Jerry Springer.

The internet didn't exist until the 90s in terms the average person could use. I thought I got news when I read the paper and watched the news. I didn't 'seek' what I thought I had. I had to see something weird, or a few, that I couldn't explain before I started looking for more information.

Thank you! It does help to know that others around the world know that we do exist, that we are trying to change things here.

I am disgusted as well.
I hope we see a miracle, I believe in them.
I will stay long enough to vote No One But Paul.
But if Ron is not the one in the White House, I've already got plans to leave.
I know some people think that's a cowardly move, but I see no future here for myself.
People have told me that other countries are much worse, but I've already woken up to that lie. Some countries might look at us and say "Wow, they have lots of freedoms!" but the others think we are falling way behind and just feel sorry for us. I've been told as much by friends in both the UK and India. Our perception of the world, as Americans, is entirely distorted. How much did you learn about the rest of the globe in high school or college? I didn't learn jack shit. I had to start talking to people from other countries to learn anything. Pretty soon, the US isn't going to need to worry about illegal immigration, but rather legal emigration. Who the hell'd want to come here after NDAA, SOPA, PIPA, and all the other bullshit these corrupt bastards dream up on a daily basis...
