And don't forget about SA's and my electoral college strategy!
Couldn't have said it better myself. They threw away a great man. Its our job to fight on.I actually got teary eyed over that. The pit of despair over how fucked we are with Obamney.
I'm sure a video-savvy RP supporter will doctor it up and release an "extended" version.
However, as many of us expected, what is missing from this video tribute is only the main theme Dr. Paul has repeatedly, speech by speech, every time he opens his mouth, driven home to anyone who would listen (and ask his multitude of young followers whether they appreciate and listen): The antiwar theme of peace and prosperity. The principle of non-interventionism. The golden rule.
Anyone who does not understand that Ron Paul above all stands for peace and prosperity through the avoidance of an immoral, destructive, and impoverishing interventionist foreign policy honestly has no clue about the very core of this man.
He has been a voice crying in the wilderness for decades on this one precise point. And that the RNC chooses to ignore the core of this man's beliefs is but a condensation of the lies and mendacity we have seen on their part over this entire campaign, culminating in the blatant theft that would make a third world dictator blush -- or flush with envy. We do not need the RNC whitewash of Ron Paul. We know and will continue to follow the REAL Ron Paul! Our hero.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
I SINCERELY hope that you are not hinting at a rogue vote for Ron Paul. That kind of choice will lead to the end of the Electoral College. It'd give opponents to it one more reason why to end this last republican system.
PLEASE don't vote rogue.

Nothing like a laugh after watching that ... it only made me sad, very, very sad to see this from them after the fact, after the deplorable treatment of him.
Thanks

PS - I still despise the GOP and will NEVER forget all their dirty tricks at all our country's state conventions and in Tampa.
Also, a final note, Ron Paul accomplished a LOT, but he couldn't save them from themselves.
So this is AWKWARD... RNC blocks Ron Paul from getting his name into nomination, cheats his delegates out of their duly elected positions, changes the RNC rules so that no one like him could ever be nominated again... BUT... here is our awesome tribute video to the man who "in 22 years of Congress... never waivered, never backed down.. and changed the conversation"... IS THAT WHY THE RNC CHANGED THE RULES?

Prepare for the worst. I've said it before, but I'd put money on it that the media and GOP will treat Ron Paul like a hero, visionary, and idol once he's gone. He'll be spoke of in reverent tones like Reagan is, and they'll act like they always supported him.
Prepare for it. It'll make us all sick.
PS -- that video is great. i hope at least 1 Romney delegate watched that and saw Ron Paul for the first time, starts doing research, and realizes what a mistake he/she made in 2012.
