Geeze, I detest the politicians and wannabes that think they're ENTITLED to some support. You want the job of feeding at the public trough, then just go out and get it, if you can.

what are you talking about?

 

[james1844]

Yeah, I'm not sure what this means either.

BJ Lawson has been fighting like Mike Tyson for months to bring home a win.

Politicians and wannabes. You know, the scum of the Earth. Rank below used car salesmen AND lawyers, that takes some doing.

How does Ron Paul fare within your scenario? Do you also consider him "scum of the Earth"?

 

[pacelli]

Um -- did it ever occur to you that maybe it was a bad idea to schedule a money bomb 5 days before another money bomb was already planned?

Um... did it ever occur to you that maybe it was a good idea to schedule a money bomb on the date of BJ & JoLynn's wedding anniversary? It worked for Ron (remember 51 years?).

I like Ron Paul a whole lot more than Congressman Paul.

 

[RonPaulVolunteer]

It makes me sad.

We are having a small money bomb to help repay the loan we took out to do the Freedom Tour. It's a LOT small amount for sure, but now I am worried that we won't raise much when we're not even a political campaign like BJ's. Oh well, 80% of the work will always be done by 20% of the people.

3 quick questions:

-1) Does this district trend Democratic or Republican? Is the incumbent clearly vulnerable?

-2) Is there a regular (not online) poll showing currently how Lawson fares against the Democrat?

-3) Why SHOULDN'T folks expect Paul's CFL to help out? Based on the description given about Lawson, if any Paulite candidate was deserving of at least a drop of that $4.7 million CFL kitty, it's him. Paul supporters have ALREADY donated their hearts out to the campaign, why shouldn't some of that cash go to help a successor's campaign?

Fascinating. Especially considering that's the same person.

 

[Truth Warrior]

Fascinating. Especially considering that's the same person.

Oh well, the difference makes sense to me. <shrug>

How about, at least he's NOT a lawyer?

Just made a small donation despite the fact that I missed the "bomb" by an hour or two.

However, the OP did not inspire me to donate.

Ron Paul never got us to donate by yelling, bitching, and moaning- that stuff just doesn't inspire people.

it's called risk and reward. whether or not people choose to bank roll the debt of your roadtrip/summer vacation has nothing to do with whether or not they (or you) are an 80% or a 20%.

i'm so sick of this shit.

3 quick questions:

-1) Does this district trend Democratic or Republican? Is the incumbent clearly vulnerable?

There is a historic 2:1 voting record for Democrats:Republicans. However, there are many angry liberal activists that are upset with Price. Here's an example why he's in trouble. David Price recently held a town hall meeting for the district. Traditionally, if not many people show up, it's a safe district. This one was packed with upset constituents who wanted to know why Price voted for the PATRIOT Act and continues to support the war. BJ left with a lot of fans.

-2) Is there a regular (not online) poll showing currently how Lawson fares against the Democrat?

No, but we've talked to personally around 15-20% of the district and passed out pocket constitutions. Many seemed receptive.

-3) Why SHOULDN'T folks expect Paul's CFL to help out? Based on the description given about Lawson, if any Paulite candidate was deserving of at least a drop of that $4.7 million CFL kitty, it's him. Paul supporters have ALREADY donated their hearts out to the campaign, why shouldn't some of that cash go to help a successor's campaign?

It's in the works according to my interpretation.

Hope that helps!

One more thing:

The Lawson for Congress campaign has collected a very diverse group of people. We've got Hillary staffers, Obama supporters, McCain supporters, white, asian, black.... BJ is the people's candidate. He's not filled with empty rhetoric either. What attracts many people to him is the fact that he honestly believes in everything he stands for. That's a quality that a lot of people like!
