Nothing - it's been pretty quiet around here.

Yeah- it's like, what hasn't happened!

If someone quits and goes to support Obama, my thought is don't let the door hit in ya in the ass on the way out.
He's obviously a troll or just ignorant...so good riddance either way.
James is not a troll--he was a founding member of our Meetup, switched parties to vote for Dr. Paul (helped us recruit others), became a delegate candidate in DC, took the lead organizing others to circulate ballot petitions after I told McHugh to f*ck off, volunteered at HQ (which would earn hazard pay in the military for dealing with that crowd), donated money he couldn't really afford to give, was one of a half dozen who helped us for six months prepare for our Get Out The Vote drive for election day, and, heck, he put up with me in person for all of these many months!
That kind of attitude of alienating and belittling people is how we lose.
I hope HQ admits their mistake with the ad, fires those responsible and James (and many others) come back or stay despite all of this unpleasantness.
The insulting responses in that thread were just sad.James is not a troll--he was a founding member of our Meetup, switched parties to vote for Dr. Paul (helped us recruit others), became a delegate candidate in DC, took the lead organizing others to circulate ballot petitions after I told McHugh to f*ck off, volunteered at HQ (which would earn hazard pay in the military for dealing with that crowd), donated money he couldn't really afford to give, was one of a half dozen who helped us for six months prepare for our Get Out The Vote drive for election day, and, heck, he put up with me in person for all of these many months!

With all due respect, I completely disagree.
Quitting a campaign because of ONE issue is complete BS.
I agree. Anyone quitting like James did deserves zero respect.
Some people are more excitable than others. Any loss of supporters is bad.
Hopfully he will realize that Dr. Paul is still the best candidate after a few beers to calm him down.
He complained about Ron Paul agnostic stance towards evolution. I mean, since when did science become a cult that decides who you vote for?
That may be true, but to be fair RP did approve the message.What people like james need to understand is that it is the campaign messing up, not Ron Paul. The Campaign has messed up in quite a few ways, but I refuse to hold that against Ron Paul. He is still the only hope imho

It could be important for an evaluation of judgment skills: h ttp://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2007/12/ron-pauls-evolu.htmlI honestly DON'T care what RP thinks about Evolution.
For the life of me...I cannot understand why this issue is even important.
That may be true, but to be fair RP did approve the message.
Well, that is what the ad says. If you're implying that somebody put that in the ad without RP's approval, I'd say somebody needs to be fired if that's the case.Do you KNOW that?
