Why don't you spend your time trying to convert the 90% of people who currently don't support Ron Paul instead of criticizing me? I already support the guy.
Also, Florida is a closed primary, winner take all state that would've taken 10 million dollars to most likely not even get a single delegate. The campaign was right to skip it.
Ok. You are probably right. I probably did lash out at you for no reason. I am irate right now, and this has been building for the past 2 weeks. I'd still like you to shove that screen shot of me being an asshole down my throat though.
I think I made a point to NOT neg rep you and give you a plus rep even though I disagree that is because I specifically do not want the kind of revenge response that you posted. You have no idea how demoralizing it is to hear everyone talk about ignoring Florida. Yet it continues, ruthlessly.
It is almost like people in this forum seriously do believe that there is nothing in FLorida except for old people with no internet. It is so sickening to hear all the parroting and misinformation about Florida.
I simply try to educate and give alternative view cause I damn live here. No one wants to hear it. Fine, but damn if I am going to sit here and get lumped in to some category after almost 5 years of busting ass.
Florida is going to be just like every other state for Ron Paul. The grassroots will deliver something like 3 times 2008 support, and do it without backing from the campaign. Know what that tells me? Tells me exactly what I have been saying since I discovered the campaign was skipping Florida.
The campaign is flat taking grassroots support for granted, their ad buys are more professional, but have been about as effective as "he's catching on".
I agree, don't spend money in Florida on tv advertising. Even though I agree for completely different reasons. The ads don't seem to be having an effect on delivering the message that creates Ron Paul voters. I thought they did, until I started realizing that the trend of support growth over 2008 for Ron Paul is being propped up by the grassroots, and not the ads. You realize that 3-4x's support is not even close to what is needed to win, right?
The ads need to do what the grassroots aren't able to. S.C. opened my eyes to the effectiveness of the grassroots over 4 years. Florida will prove that spending any more money on T.V. ads had better be targeted at delivering 10x's 2008 support.
I'd probably ditch the TV ads completely at this point and use that money to reinforce the grassroots in EVERY state rather than simply picking and choosing caucuses.

The Florida bashing is down right ignorant.
