One of the key lessons in political marketing strategy that I learned from Michael Cloud is "define yourself, or be defined by your enemies." I can't think of a single instance that more clearly and effectively spells out the truth of that statement than the fact that, everywhere I go, people are condemning "Paulbots", or "Paultards", "Paulnuts", "Paulistas", "Paulestinians", etc.
In trying to avoid stooping to the level of our opponents and sticking to the principles and issues of importance in the Paul campaign, I'm afraid we have inadvertently ceded the territory when it comes to the strictly political and strategic questions of how to market Ron Paul and his ideas.
Now that we're on the cusp of becoming a major American political force, I think we deserve some more dignified nomenclature, even from the loyal opposition.
