Ron Paul wants to have RonPaul.com.....BAD IDEA

[awake]

Money bomb for the name. If I owned the domain he just mentioned it would be his before he was done asking.

It only costs $10 per year for domain registration renewal

and it's not like you have to register every year. a 10 year registration is 100 bucks. i mean come on.

but RON doesn't know the internet and didn't do it. Someone who knew so little about the internet they just figured they were saving $90 did it.

I think Ron should pay the $25,000.00 for the domain name if he wants it. It will help ensure that it gets renewed from now on. A moneybomb may help with forgetfulness.

Incompetence

I just listened to the latest Ron Paul/Alex Jones interview on 1-9-13 on Youtube and at the very end of the interview Dr. Paul mentions how unfortunate it is that he doesn't have RonPaul.com and his default homepage has to be ronpaulhomepage.com

I hate to say this.....but if I were the owner of RonPaul.com, I would be very hesitant to give it up to RP. Why? First of all, it cost him more than $25,000 to acquire it when it was auctioned on Ebay a few years ago. Second, the owner of ronpaul.com is also the owner of ronpaul2008.com, the domain that was used for the Ron Paul 2008 campaign. Ron Paul's incompetent campaign staff failed to pay $10 for a domain registration renewal and let it expire and he said he was very lucky to acquire it and prevent it from falling into the wrong hands. RonPaul2012.com is due to expire on March 23, 2013 and as usual Ron Paul's incompetent campaign staff hasn't renewed the domain registration and it is likely to expire as well. So I doubt the owner of RonPaul.com is going to hand over his extremely valuable domain to a bunch of incompetent campaign staff who are likely going to let it expire.

By the way, I own ronpaul.name

He can have it if he contacts me

FYI. There is no more "campaign staff", as the campaign has been over for quite some time.

Oh, man... some employee needs never to be hired again....

Honestly, will one of you PLEASE send the man your resumes?? Maybe we need a moneybomb for a singing telegram to get his attention to how much he needs this. The messenger could carry resumes....

This. I'm sure Ron Paul could be informed on the importance of registering your domain name for ten year intervals. I'm also relatively sure it would not be an issue to have the domain owner work as webmaster just to ensure registration is up to date. Hopefully the owner of the domain states one way or another what his objections are if he has any.

Okay, maybe that I would chip in for

Not to be a debbie downer but isn't Ron a millionaire? He could buy the name outright and if the owner is a RP supporter I'm sure he'll give Ron a great deal.

a 'millionaire' on retirement planning on winding down income isn't the same as a millionaire at 30. He and Carol have to live on that, with inflation, as long as they live. He refused the pension, remember?

But he could pay a reasonable fee, and make it back, I should think. It is criminal that he doesn't have ronpaul.org which he did have. Once he lost the campaign youtube acct in 2008 at least, they should have made sure all accounts were registered for 10 years.

Ronpaul.com seems to be on cruise control. They only have one or two posts per week. Weaksauce, ronpaul.com, weaksauce.

I wonder if they will post the AJ interview.

I wanted to bring to your attention that today on the Alex Jones show Ron Paul was a guest. When pressed about what his plans for the future were going to be he stated that he was in the works of creating an online show. He specifically stated that since ronpaul.com was taken he would use ronpaulhomepage.com. I wasn't sure if you are aware of this or have been contacted in this regard, so I wanted to bring it to your attention.

Please consider donating or selling this domain name to one of the few honorable statesmen of our era. Ronpaulforums.com has already been talking about a money bomb and I feel compensation for your time and effort is deserved. I might add as well that you do have a very informative website and I am not trying to infringe upon your rights to the property in any way. There is speculation that you will not give up this domain name because of how incompetent his staff was. (Letting RonPaul2008 expire, among other things) That is a very reasonable concern. Is there any way you consider donating or selling this domain? Perhaps if you were guaranteed the title of webmaster as to make sure incompetence never hinders the message again? I look forward to hearing back from you. Thanks for your time.

I'll keep you guys posted as to what response I get.

Just organize chip ins or whatever so members here will own the domains

$10 a year. Can't be too difficult.

Drop a few million in a bank, and you can live off interest for the rest of your life.

Ron Paul is a wiser man than to do that. The dollar depreciates faster than the interest accumulates. In other words, money in a 'savings' account is losing more value than the interest it receives. He undoubtedly has dropped a few million in gold/silver bullion and is living comfortably off of rising rates. It is absurd to put a few million notes in a bank. Unless you had double that in bullion. Even then, I would only use dollars to make small transactions easy, though I'd know that my dollar this year isn't going to buy me the same as it does next year.

Looks like ronpaul.com acquires everything the RP staff forgets about or lets expire...they also have the ronpaul2008dotcom Youtube channel
