Ron Paul Blimp in Boston by December 15th!!!!

[Sojourner]

Give it a rest, you pompous turd.

Your post is like the flawed concept of the blimp - an inexcusable failure to exercise intelligence or sound judgment.

If a tree falls in the forest and there is no one there to hear it, does it make any noise?

Your pompousness drowns out all noises.

 

[Sojourner]

Your pompousness drowns out all noises.

Considering the source, thank you for your kind words.

200K to fly a blimp in a late primary state that is primarily Democratic and where less than 15% of registered voters show up at the primaries?

Frankly, it's foolish.

 

[Ozwest]

I'd leverage your ass big time you pompous git.

Ok, I'm clueless there. What does that mean?

When in doubt, make a fool of yourself. There is a microscopically thin line between being brilliantly creative and acting like the most gigantic idiot on earth. So what the hell, leap.”

No problemo here with anyone being foolish on their own, but the issue is that you're wanting to persuade others to be foolish alongside you, IMO.

 

[Ozwest]

It means, don't be a pompous shit, pretending to be the font of knowledge, when those amongst you can spot a small time grifter.

Yes, although you aren't on board I will have to admire your Ron Paul attitude to keep your discourses civil and even keel. Good day to you sir.

You're a grifter???

Agreed.

With this and various other threads I have looked at today, I feel like I am beginning to watch the beginning of a train wreck.

Yeah, me too, and I have an extreme dislike for train wrecks, especially when in close proximity.

No, you're a wannabee. Role playing only goes so far... Sooner or later you're going to get busted.

 

[Sojourner]

No, you're a wannabee. Role playing only goes so far... Sooner or later you're going to get busted.

I haven't been soliciting funds for some ill-conceived project, OTOH you are, so it appears you're the one who's busted.

Persuading others to participate in your own folly is pretty lame.

I'm all in favor of an aerial campaign with light planes pulling banners and the ones with scrolling light displays for nighttime use. Now that I could support and it would be a very effective use of resources, since multiple locations could be worked and on a 'just in time' schedule, as in very little notice and the planes are up. Quick response to transpiring events when and where necessary is essential.

With this blimp concept, there is absolutely no evidence to show: 1) the impressions actually received will amount to anything near assumed projections (we are talking the dead of winter here); 2) there will be media coverage to amount to a hill of beans (pardon the pun, being that we're talking about Boston in this thread); and 3) the blimp company will be able to meet it's schedule in wintertime.

"Paid television advertising is the last refuge of the unimaginative."

In 2004 a dollars worth of supplies became worth millions of dollars of news coverage. A band aid, a purple felt tip pen were all that was needed to get national news coverage.

The whole point of the blimp is to be so different that we get massive television coverage. Planes with banners are becoming common place and do not warrent news stories. A blimp warrants a news story or passing coverage on TV. Not many people even have to see it live. But the media will make it a huge event.

Guys, its unconventional marketing.
it's a risk.
this might end up being huge and gets millions in publicity
this might end up being ignored by the media
who knows, but if you offer them it free i'm sure they'll take it

this is the free market
no more fighting and bashing over what to do
let people do what they want
so. this is the end of all the bashing over tv commercials vs. blimp
don't post anything else unless you are talking about the blimp, like its route, graphics, etc.
this is supposed to be a thread about the blimp, not blimp bashing

For every negative comment a person leaves they could be out leaving a Ron Paul plug in another forum letting other people know about Ron Paul. All of us have one goal in common, we have want Ron Paul to be president. Anyone who does anything else may possibly be direct competition with Ron Paul being president.

Spread the love!! We will win this election! So if you are going to spend a minute bringing this down (and are not a troll) try and spend a minute in another forum letting people know about Ron Paul and getting a person who would never have donated anyways to maybe watch a YouTube video.

We are going to try and put a gyro stabilized broadcast camera system on the blimp to film the Boston Tea Party reenactment. We have let the Boston Tea Party reenactment group we will be bringing the blimp!

It's gonna happen!! You either can help us or you can promote our future president to the people who didn't know about him!

Lets do this everyone!! Put everything behind and go forward with it.
