Who Thinks Every Future Money Bomb Should be Centered Against an Opposing Candidate?

Also, the campaign really should start using the fact that Dr Paul is the only U.S. Veteran (that I'm aware of) in the race to their advantage. No more civilian presidents - recent history shows they are careless with the lives of others! America loves anything seemingly patriotic, and there isn't anything more legitimately patriotic than a U.S. Vet!

I like the idea for many reasons..1 reason I don't is I really believe Ron needs to position himself as the anti-Mitt or anti-establishment candidate..not waste his time squabbling with the flavor of the week/media hype 2nd tier candidates..we have to turn these peoples supporters on to Ron not piss them off.

Too adversarial, I'd be afraid it would isolate our efforts; besides focusing on weak opponents may make for weak money bombs. (IE: Pawlenty isn't worth even a $100,000 money bomb; he defeats himself.)

We should use efforts like combating THE Issues; like today was originally for sound money (good but not mainframe enough for every voter).

Round 2: The Revolution Against Wars in the Middle East
Round 3: The Revolution Against Foreign Aid
....

I think this way we are fighting for our cause and for the cause of potential voters who do not yet know Ron Paul well enough.

I was going to reply saying same thing, instead of going after a person, go after the issue like,

Round 2: The Revolution vs. The Federal Reserve
Round 3: The Revolution vs. The Income Tax

ect, ect

The campaign slogan is 'Restore America Now.' Why can't the future money bombs just be themed in the vein of that slogan? Ron Paul critically challenges the status quo, on all accounts, so maybe the money bombs could have themes that touch on each of those accounts (Ending 'too big to fail,' following Constitutional war powers / bringing our troops home, restoring soundness to our dollar, ending corporate welfare, fighting for the rights of whistleblowers, etc). In addition, they can still be coordinated on historical days throughout the year - like the next one on the 4th of July.

This is the sort of thing we need, not mud-slinging (leave that to supporters ); that's not what Ron stands for.
I don't think giving lesser known candidates any publicity is a good idea at all but I probably don't mind this Revolution V Romneycare thing that much as he's the one we need to beat for Ron to get the nomination but even that may have a negative impact on the morale of the people as we're surely not going to match his funds so I'd say stick to the issues & as has been said, "make it about Ron".

May be we should use it as a theme for one of the moneybombs.

This one was absolutely brilliant... many of the people we need voting for us DESPISE Obamacare, and having a Romneycare moneybomb highlights the similarities. He is also perceived as the frontrunner, and one that's not well liked, so it was the perfect move. However, many of these people like Cain and Palin so it would completely backfire to try it with either of them... not only turning off voters, but acting like they're significant. Let's avoid obscure topics like legalizing gold & silver, and stick to ones with broad appeal.

We should use them to hammer home points we want to make to win the Republican voting base. One of those points is that Ron is the only veteran running... would love to see a moneybomb that highlights that somehow.
