YFP? Youth for Paul? So a few college kids forgot to register and you say nobody voted.

Never said nobody voted, said most people didn't, and they didn't. Come on we had more votes in the primary in Washington in 2008 and you think most Ron Paul supporters voted in Washington?

In Washington the average Ron Paul supporter doesn't even bother to vote.

You did.

There was more. Doug wanted to expand on the most asked questions, first being how the campaign is feeling after yesterday

Doug Wead: Author, Speaker, Presidential Historian

Here is the answer. we wanted a win, of course, but we know that we are changing America, bringing her back to the us constitution and we know it will not be easy. Lot's of people are making lots of money to resist the change. So we have not given up. We are in this all the way. we have more delegates than the media shows and we will not quit.

The part in bold is what I've been wanting to hear more about.

Yeah, after the Arizona debate, John King did an interview and Ron mentioned that he was second in delegates and John King repeated that before they went back to Wolf Blitzer in the studio but for the rest of the week they showed him as 4th. They lie.

+ REP for re-posting that FB conversation. Really impressive of you and really appreciated by me.

My efforts are minor compared to some peoples, but the conspiracy theories efforts are counter-productive. We won't win anything other than the Tin Foil Hat award (which we pretty much already have) by embracing conspiracy theories. There is nothing to gain from it other than the feeling of self-righteousness those people get. Same reason "truthers" have no problem associating Paul with their movement even if it hurts them in the process.

If you want to help Paul do stuff that helps get him votes. All these fraud charges will never amount to anything that results in more votes, it just helps the media paint us as fringe conspiracy theorists.

The foreign policy is the bigger problem. Not conspiracy theorists.

 

[ssjevot]

You did.

I have to wonder where in the world average supporter didn't vote equates to nobody voted. You should try not to put things into black and white categories. It isn't a every supporter voted or no supporters voted thing. It's a most supporters didn't vote (the average supporter didn't vote), and the statistics support that (just based on 2008 primary alone).

You said that the average supporter didn't vote. Are there above average and below average supporters? No. So what you mean is that Ron Paul supporters in Washington didn't vote. Choose your words better next time. No need for us to fight over something like this though.

 

[Butchie]

Yep! It's already starting!

So asking a simple question is whining? I think it's valid. You're right, let's not talk strategy, let's instead sit around and cry about conspiracy theories on vote fraud that will go nowhere.

The strategy can't be changed because it's too far in the race now. People need to understand that whatever awesome idea they have for us to win is not going to be used this time around...maybe they can pitch it Rand in 2016 lol but for now the campaign is doing what they have chosen to do and suggestions on how to "instantly win" from every RP supporter across the globe aren't helpful.

 

[WD-NY]

Doug Wead = the best thing to happen to this movement since Rand Paul won the senate.

His "open" attitude towards "feedback" is a complete 180 from the tone pushed out by so many of the '08 staffers

 

[Butchie]

this is why he cant win social conservative votes. anti-abortionists want to make arbotions illegal for all.

I agree. This too is even more evidence of how clueless some Ron Paul supporters are that this is a REPUBLICAN nomination. Where does this insane notion come from that all women want abortions? I'd say nationwide it is likely split about 50/50, but conservative women are almost overwhelmingly against abortion. Not to mention I don't know where anyone is getting this notion that Ron is going to fight for abortion in America, he has stated many times he is against it and would fight for personhood amendment.

not one question on appealing to seniors, and putting out a ss/medicare/medicaid ad. everyone complains about to talking to seniors, but when it came time to ask someone viable in the campaign, all that could asked was voter fraud bs.

Amen to that, but according to others on here if you ask something rational like that you are "whining".
