What the hell is the Campaign doing with all the f***ing money?

[unija bass]

Yeah, sure.American people choose the right presidential candidates through out the history, never voted for the one they shouldn't.
Come on, one, just one debate was enough to hear what Ron Paul stands for, how else did we get to like the guy?
For average, brainwashed, not even close enough politically educated American, Ron Paul is, and will be beyond the capabilities of their understanding.For them, he is talking some foreign language.
Combined with all what they can see on TV stations, owned by people that don't want good for middle class, and there you have it.
Anyway, that is why education sucks in this country, so it could be like this.
The real importance of Ron Paul for our country is much more than we can predict.
If we stay on course and educate our children as we should, of course.
AND STOP FEEDING TROLLS TALKING ABOUT WHERE"S THE MONEY AND STUFF!!!
IT IS NOT CAMPAIGN'S FAILURE THAT PEOPLE ARE VOTING FOR SOMEBODY WHO SAID THE TROOPS
SHOULD STAY 100 YEARS IN IRAQ!!

I would like to know as well.

I'm also annoyed with the campaign, here in Michigan we've been awaiting supplies for weeks, and we're just now getting fragments of what we hoped for, not to mention the fact that they decided not to air ads here, mean while I see Romney ads about every hour on TV.

Same thing here in Florida! The national campaign is failing miserably on so many levels.

 

[MessyTessy]

You know whining about it isn't going to get us anywhere, I say we have to start doing something about it. Start a petition demanding new leadership, start a letter campaign to HQ to find out our strategy...ideas, other than just complaining?

RP is all about activism and fighting for change, maybe we need to start fighting for change within the campaign first, that might get us some headlines?!

 

[Constitution Supporter]

I'll say it once more...

Do you want him to start spending money like the FED? If he spends it all at once he be just a poor as the rest of the candidates.(Well... Romney can use himself for $$ so...)There is a total of 50 states not just NH. Yeah, I know winning NH could bring more votes and $$$ to encourage other voters and $$$, but he obviously knows what he's doing.
If I'm going to trust RP as president, then I'm definitely go to trust him to run his own campaign and mange it, and manage who will hire and fire too. Obviously you're free to voice you opinions and suggestions to HQ and the people here on the forum (thats what his message is about) that could help him, but I think we should put more trust in RP. I would donate even more money if I could.

You guys will know soon enough when they file the FEC 4Q report.

Now stop bumping this thread with such a obscene title.

 

[MGreen]

They said they needed 12 million to win the early states.

We gave them 20 million.

Yet we've lost, but still did OK, in Iowa, and have a relatively embarrassing showing in New Hampshire. And the grassroots in Michigan keep saying they get little supplies and have yet to see a TV ad. The question of "what's going on with all the f***ing money" is not only valid, but overdue. Do we have any shot at Michigan and Nevada and South Carolina? Right now I feel the most we could hope for is that Paul gets a few counties in California, but that's about it.

I assume they have a plan, but could anyone venture a guess as to what it is? I'm honestly fine with Paul giving up hope of winning the nomination and using the money to educate as many people as possible, but if he says he's in it to win it, he should follow through. Even just an email from the campaign saying, "We have a plan, trust us," is something, especially since the closest thing we've gotten so far is, "we don't know what to do with all this money."

 

[drpcash]

I agree completely with the premise of this thread. Less than $300,000 in T.V. ads in New Hampshire? Are you F*CKING KIDDING ME?!

This should have been Ron Paul's best state. Instead it's just another insignificant 5th place finish. What a pathetic attempt. I want my money back.

They dont want to spend the money. The money raised is for his retirement it seems. Yuck and ghoul both spent more on TV ads, than RP.
Volunteers spent more of their own money to get this 8%.
This way the money-bombs may dry out.
My next donation will be to chipIns and not to HQ

 

[MadEmperor]

I think 1 problem is that a lot of people expected viable results in NH considering we raised almost twice as much as the campaign wanted. Many of these people still support RP, but won't donate to a HQ that is incompetent.

What about the HQ speculation thread? Can't find it on here now, but i think it said they were indeed planning something big. (Sorry if this has already been addressed)

 

[AdamKC]

I'll say it once more...

Say it all you want. There's no excuse for not outspending McCain in N.H. Ron Paul can spend all he wants now, it will be diminishing returns. Making a splash in Iowa or N.H. buys a lot of free advertising and publicity.

In Paul's case, even finishing 3rd would have gotten some serious airtime just because he is such a good story. Instead, the message is being drowned out more and more each day.

 

[MessyTessy]

I'm just depressed now that we don't have any ads in FL or MI, and no supplies in either. That's no plan at all. I would be fine with the early poor showings if we had a plan to rebound, but it sounds like we don't.

And anyone who doesn't like this thread, go to the voter fraud threads....those are much more productive! We can really turn things around in the future with that plan

Yah, back when I was just a lurker I saw this and actually read through all like 50+ pages
It's what had me put that trick/scheme thing at the end.

The only thing I keep thinking of which is in line with what's going on now is that maybe the campaign's raised way more then they lead on and are saving it for the q4 reports. So they get tons of media attention.
They look cheap just to keep up the surprise factor

But speculation is speculation

NEWBIE : you have got the post of the day......from me...the people of America are in politically correct words "not smart".....you know we should have a poll about what our education is, our
income, and if we have travelled the world....I betcha the average paulite would have an exposure to the world in some form or another.....ask an average joe who brittany spears is or Paris hilton or Michael Vick and they will get all excited ....ask them Ron Paul they say Rupaul who?.......American's live in a self made cocoon and the establishment uses this....they give them entertainment like NFL, NBA and hollywood to keep them busy in their spare time to take their minds off their two jobs and debt....while creating this fear of the unknown eg communism and Islamo facism....half of the people havent even met a Muslim yet have already seen the gun wielding guys on Fox News and made up their minds saying "bad people bomb them".....a trip to Europe and Asian countries and you would find the people so much attuned to whats happening in the world .....hell the people of Spain, Australia and Britain have changed their govt and gotten out of Iraq......sadly we do not deserve a guy like Ron .....imagine what he has had to go through for 30 yrs .....with all the present following the ridiculing he has had to endear imagine what the previous 30 yrs would be like when he was alone ....I am a guy and I was nearly to tears when I saw the ABC debates with what they did to the great doctor.....I am just glad I know that there are a few still who know that the message is still there and they make me proud to be an American .....and that is yall the Ron Paul Supporters.....
thanks.....

What the hell is the Campaign doing with all the f***ing money?

Making sure the militia is well prepared to hack all the necessary voting machines on February 5th. What's left over goes to paying off our national debt after Ron Paul is inaugurated.

We have enough money to rig a Hillary nomination for the Democrats as well. We'll all be able to stalk her and her husband on the campaign trail with signs that say "9/11 inside job". These actions have really gotten to them. And that's what we need, a government that fears the people.

 

[RPFTW!]

you can have all the money in the world but it doesn't mean shit if the elites have a target on your head

 

[Ron LOL]

I think RP has been frugal to a fault in this race in many ways, but we'll only know for sure once it's all over...

 

[MessyTessy]

How long ago was this? I'm all for something big....and second chances, if they can pull it together now with a good plan. I don't think all is lost, I just think we don't have much room for error from here on out, we have to start getting it right and if that means changing leadership, I'm all for that.

Well said. (In spite of the complete lack of sentence structure.) Great analysis. You are right about it all.

Don't give up on Americans, though. Ron Paul may not have been able to break through, but maybe he's paving the way for somebody else. (The governor of S.C., maybe?) Keep preaching it. It's what I plan to do.
