Ron Paul in Des Moines

[lucky]

Look. This is pretty big but only if we have a very good crowd. I am very happy on this and gonna try to get there myself. If not I want to be able to contribute to help out in any way that is possible.

this could be really big.

Why were Noodles' comments deleted? Are we Animal Farming already? Noodles' comments weren't "personal attacks," they were "richly deserved criticism that needed to be heard publicly." And the words that have replaced Noodles' comments are so Orwellian it's sickening.

Deleted either of my comments and I'm quitting this board.

LOL, thank you so much for the Orwell comparison. That's what I was aiming for. I was very disgusted by this turn of events, and I am a VERY busy person, so I felt like somebody had sucker-punched me. Nonetheless, I still support Dr. Paul, and will continue to do so. I think this "BIG" news is a "BIG JOKE", but I'll keep doing my thing, and hope that everyone else does, too. Thanks for the backup, Zydeco. You are a true Libertarian. LOL

Well, it may not be a 15, but I think it's at least a 10, and it has potential.

Picture this. The Forum is in one room in HyVee Hall The Rally is in the other. Both are in the same size rooms. The ITR expect 1600. We expect 2000-5000.

Either the Rally is going to have much larger attendance than the forum, or half of those in the Forum will be Ron Paul supporters. How is that for credibility?!

 

[Ron Paul Fan Club]

Or maybe many of those going to the Forum will also come to the Rally. Remember, it wasn't their decision to exclude Ron Paul.

One thing we can't do.... for those of us who signed up to attend the forum, we simply must not do anything that will bring disgrace on Ron. Let them have their forum. Ron will blow them away with his message of hope for America and we will assist by showing our numbers and mature, courteous behavior.

Still doesn't mean we shouldn't heard them into our event, nor ask the other candidates what they think about the censorship. Get them on the record and then, if the comments are negative, fight them with their own words. It's win-win. They either support us or look like asshats.

"bigger than a Tancredo endorsement" announcement coming up.

did I miss something?

 

[LibertyEagle]

I agree. We just have to act VERY professional about it. We don't want anything to backfire on us. That's all I'm talking about.

Just remember, THEY are the ones who look like horse's asses right now. We don't want to change that perception and have it turned around to us.

I think it's a big joke, but the joke is on the ITR/ICA turkeys.

I LOLed when I saw the news. Paul Campaign Ownz Idiots, Film at 11.

It reminds me of Ducard in Batman Begins:

You've haven't beaten me. You've sacrificed sure footing for a killing stroke.​

Most RP supporters obviously miss the significance of physical support in large numbers.

This is the sort of thing money can't buy. It makes for the best sort of video, photo and media attraction that there is.

We have said all along that the scientific polls are wrong and we struggle to find ways to expose the media blackouts and exclusions of our candidate. I believe that huge numbers of supporters who travel from around the country to mass together in a show of support and conviction is the single most important part of this campaign in proving those various points with no need for endless debate.

A picture is worth a thousand blogs.

RP's speech will be a blockbuster (my opinion only, based on the NPR comments and others during the progression of his campaign), covering all of the issues that matter, which is so much better than the controlled agendas of these debates and forums.

I tend to think that those who bicker over petty personal differences will not attend this event, and ask that they don't attempt to throw a wet blanket over the news for those of us who view this announcement and the planned event as a possible breakthrough and huge momentum builder.

Instead of the little minds who attempted to freeze out Ron Paul succeeding in erasing him from the minds and hearts of many who never heard of RP, we will turn it around 180 degrees and increase awareness of his campaign to untold numbers of potential voters. Ron isn't writing this treatment off, thus allowing it to happen. He's meeting it head on.

That's HUGE, IMO. Sorry if that's lost on anyone else here.

Save it, pal.

Agreed. RP is showing again that he is willing to fight back. Wish I could be there; but simply not possible. Anybody that CAN go should go. I would bet this will be a blast!

 

[Zydeco]

Agreed.

You save it, too, Specs. I wasted the last 15 hours anticipating this.

Look folks, I said my piece and agreed to shut up but don't dig at me or I'll hit back. I had a right to be pissed at JfDM and I expressed it. If you've got something else to say, message me so we can all focus on getting RP elected.

If you don't like this place then go somewhere else. May I recommend www.RonPaulForum.com

Don't tell people to 'Save it' when their post is not even directed at you.

We have a great community here and you have joined just recently. Don't stink up the place with your bad attitude.

 

[Noodles]

Take your own advice.

Really, both of you, please stop. Please.

Apples, it is his right to be upset. Let his negativity speak for itself however. Also, if you don't like his message, there is a handy little ignore feature somewhere in this postboard software. Use it. (Go to his profile and click ignore over his contact info.)

To be honest, I didn't think the news was earth-shattering, either. But it is a smart, clever, shrewd move by the campaign and I am behind it 110%!

Let's not focus on being let down by unfounded hype or unmet expectations and focus instead on getting people to the event.

The MSM will be watching this. If we stumble here, we stand to lose a lot of ground.

I agree with Bossobasso. This could be huge.

Ron Paul is the one that is going to stand out...in a positive way. They may wish they had just invited him. Then he would have been limited to answering whatever questions they chose for him.

 

[Bossobass]

Agreed. RP is showing again that he is willing to fight back. Wish I could be there; but simply not possible. Anybody that CAN go should go. I would bet this will be a blast!

It will indeed be a blast. An historic blast at that.
