Ron Paul supporters lose Clark County GOP (Nevada)

[Anti-Neocon]

However, we're not going to win a toe-to-toe fight. We need to break the media/establishment mental stranglehold over mainstream GOP members if we have any chance in hell of holding a majority long-term.

Well, that's not going to happen by talking about vaccines at the Daily Paul and leaving the GOP to join a joke of a party which is a failure by design.

With Rand's progress Im not so sure we actually need to control chairmanships. Even the rank-and-file are starting to like Rand very much. Remember the big picture.

The fact that we STILL make elections this close (Gunny's is another example) goes to show that we aren't going anywhere and our numbers continue to grow. As an above poster stated, we have bigger numbers in election years than off years. We will turn out our people when it really matters. Remember the big picture.

This.... Rand is much more like-able by the rank and file as I have witnessed personally where I work. My office is FULL of rank and file Republicans.

What a shame that that once great site has become a cesspool.

Yeah, but you gotta admit it's a pretty damn close decision on whether it would be quicker to let the GOP die or try to take it over.

Well said. The Daily Paul has jumped the shark. There's zero activism of merit I see there.

I see our movement or the movement that began from Ron, as more of a beginning cycle of waves and currents coming onto a beach. At first it was a ripple. Then a wave, next will be a tidle wave, and from there it should be a monsoon

Fuck it if these useless idiots calling themselves liberty movement can't be bothered to show up and vote. Why are the rest of us busting our balls? I am done with this shit for a while. No use trying to make headway by sacrificing precious family time, if the rest of them can't show up and maintain the gains.

Where do you get off criticizing an election that I assume you did not play a role in? Look, sometimes you're, and run with me on this one, not going to always have the majority. We push, they push back harder, we push back even harder and go back and forth. I've said it multiple times, this is a battle over the future of the Republican Party and there are going to be losses. This won't be the last time the liberty movement loses a battle, but don't just throw in the towel and start pointing fingers. I've followed Lake's work via her Facebook page and they worked damn hard through campaigning and sending a message to the Clark County Republican Party. So they, as the rest of us, busted their balls and still lost. Not the end of the world and Lake herself said she's not going to stop doing what she's doing. If you're done with this for awhile, then be my guest, but don't get on a soap box and call people useless idiots when they're willing to fight another day instead of being 'done with this shit for a while,' as you put it.

I'm going to play devil's advocate here, but at least one member of the CCRP did something that (as an outsider looking in with no local knowledge), seemed designed to poke the establishment in the eye with no clear goal to be achieved.

Of course when you piss someone off, they will fight back. Here in MN much of the reason the liberty folks fought to take over local parties was because they were treated so poorly in 2008. And one of the only times our great Senate nominee, Kurt Bills, got any influx of money was when the guy who tried to primary went after Ron Paul hard.

It's blowback, a concept we understand well. And outside looking in, it looks like the liberty folks in the Clark County GOP got it.

Yes this was detrimental and this person an idiot.

With friends like that, we don't even need enemies. Crap like that gets us nowhere.

And why do you think we get outnumbered? Because people don't show up. It's true for NC and it's true for NV.

We are outnumbered, no matter what. Mitt Romney received how many votes? 59+ MILLION. How many did President Obama get? 60+ MILLION. We are outnumbered right now, and the amount of stupid we are dealing with is pretty incredible.
