Something big from the CFL

[brandon]

I know you all have read the blog posts - Something big from the CFL is coming...

Well I recently found out part of what they have in store for us. It is really exciting. They have some really good ideas, and I think you all are going to be really happy with it. They are focusing on helping our message influence the republican party. The RNC rally will be more then just a regular rally. I'm sure they will be announcing the plans soon.

So don't give up! Keep your faith. This movement is just beginning.

how about a new party with a new brand name that has a platform that crosses all party lines(unite the lp/cp and 25% of the ron paul republicans now that would be BIG and the ron paul democrats and independents would flood over to our new platform, it wouldn't be a 3rd party it would be a new party unifying them all under a new platform now that would be BIG

We've heard about 'something big' with this campaign since Iowa. And it keeps getting pushed off. In the meantime, the CFL can't give financial support to any candidates running for office.

Personally I think it's hype. I don't think the plans they have really reflect anything they haven't already said: that they plan on reaching out and educating people.

Screw the Republican Party. They aren't salvageable and were never any good. I really wish they would focus on educating the people instead of wasting time in politics which hasn't been very successful.

can you please just tell us! =)

this isn't a book or a movie, who cares if it's spoiled =)

Um... then why are they (PBS for example) saying that the future of the GOP is the Ron Paul supporters and Huckabee supporters. That means we make up half of it! And that also means the entire party is anti-IRS

Anti-war leftists have spent YEARS trying to educate people. It doesn't get you anywhere. You can educate 75 % of the country and it wont mean a damn thing if none of them have any political power. We need to focus on getting into positions where we can wield influence on the political process.

Yes, the Freedom Party or Liberty Party.

Only problem is - it is still collectivist and can evolve into more of the same if it is infiltrated by neo-cons and liberal types.

I think I will prefer being an Independent after this election. I will remain Republican long enough to let them know that as a Republican, I did not vote for their candidate.

 

[Jeremy]

um... they shouldn't start a new party. but they wouldn't do that, so who cares

Anyway, I will probably be a Republican for the rest of my life (unless the LP... or CP... or some other one I happen to like.... is somehow turned into a third or 2nd major party... 2nd meaning, one of the current majors dies... but the chances of this.... yah, heh). The primaries in my state are closed

URL please. This I have to see to believe.

What's so funny about the GOP is that they go to the trouble to create a website where you can "help write the platform", yet they've shown that they obviously don't give a damn about what their own base says.

The GOP is ruined. One of the greatest political disappointments of my lifetime will definitely be Ron Paul's refusal to run independently, and perhaps unite real conservatives across party lines. He may not have won, but he would've gotten a HELL of a lot more votes than the LP, the Constitution Party, and others have ever gotten put together. He was the best chance in decades for this to happen.

who were you replying to????

I know, I was just having some fun with ya'.

My nerves just instinctively ratchet up a notch when somebody announces "Big Doings!!!" "Hold onto your Hats!!!" but can't say any more.

I blame Ghemmy's non lucid, stream of consciousness rants and "The Billionaire" nonsense, not you.

pessimism will get you nothing! all you're doing is complaining

and remember that you're dissing the very movement that we're supposedly in

after all, one of the main things is bringing the GOP back... that's RP's goal

I hate to say this because I for one believed after the Primary season we could change the Party, but seeing us splinter off into umteen different directions I have to believe that if Ron had run third party, we would have untied many more people than even Ross Perot did, and certainly much more than Barr, Baldwin will ever do this year.

We had a shot not much and a very narrow window indeed but we had a shot IMHO. now just look at the forums page, which used to run anywhere from 300-400 strong at any given time now down to 50-70 and slowly declining from there.

It is sad, truly is especially with all the time, effort, and money spent to try to get Ron as much name recognition as possible.

Unfortunately, we still have a 2 party system and it is only those 2 parties that make it to the debates. Any new party that is established is a 3rd party, whether we like it or not.

lol, I hear ya. I assure you that what I heard is nowhere near as cool as something like a secret billionaire or a plan for Ron Paul to win the presidency. It is however a decent plan. I think alot of people were disappointed that RP didn't reveal any new plans at the DC rally; he just gave his regular stump speech.

I just want people to know that if what I heard is true, there are some good ideas being worked on.
