Put Up, or Shut Up! Here's my proof ... where's yours?

[Thanehand]

Seriously:

Ron has 42 of his own delegates

A number of other delegates awarded to other candidates are Ron supporters

There are 20 or so states remaining

There's no clear winner yet

And anyone who thinks Ron stands a chance at a 3rd party run hasn't been paying attention to American politics (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gYF_K5p38E) for the last... oh, few hundred years or so, let alone the bullcrap that's been going on in the last year (http://www.ronpaultimeline.com). There's more of a chance for a brokered convention being a success than there is for a 3rd party run.

They barely let him in the debates and give him media coverage now!! You think that would somehow miraculously change if he ran independent? No folks, it would be HARDER for all of us to get out the vote! And, since so many of you have proven yourself to be quitters multiple times already, I can't imagine that a 3rd party run would go very far at all.

I'm with Ron, and in it for the long haul. It's time to put up or shut up. If you're not going to FOCUS on the race that is only half over, then please be quiet so the rest of us continue the fight and do the hard work for you.

I'm trying to become a delegate for my state and have notified the campaign. And here's the confirmation for the donation I just made. Where's yours?

Well, I seriously was hoping I didn't see one "I'll shut up vote", but at least someone was honest I guess.

Not me, check out the "Remember The ALAMO Moneybomb" thread. Never quit, never surrender. :p

Lets win one for the Gipper.

I wish I would have turned on the option to show the names of who voted for what :) Darn it.

Thane, the vast lion share of Ron Paul supporters fully intend to continute to strive to see that Paul does as well as possible in the remaining state primaries and caucuses (Phase A). It's all a part of the continuation of Paul's name recognition and freedom message. We win, in an important sense, even though the MSM thinks we are losing. How have we won? Because the Paul campaign has awoken untold thousands of voters to the freedom message and amassed a huge volunteer base. But we must continue winning by............

Then, we have to work like hell to get Ron Paul to run yes, 3rd Party on the Libertarian or Constitution Party ticket (Phase B). It would be too cost prohibitive to try and gain ballot access as an independent. What we are accomplishing is not only a chance for Paul to win the White House, but we are winning in the further dissemination of the freedom message to those vast ocean of voters who are sick of the possibilities of a president Barack McClinton. So, Thane, with all due respect sir, we win in any case, as Ron Paul campaign continues to keep the message in front of the voters. But this time we get a chance to really play hard ball by Paul making the harsh comparisons to voters of his policies versus the statist candidates Barack McClinton. While the Paulian grassroots focus like lasers in their individual precincts.

So you see, we win either way. Critical mass may be reached in this election or the next. But we must refuse from ever leaving a void where the two statist parties are left to de-fraud the country once again with their false promises of welfarism and warfarism. Can you truly imagine sitting silent while the country goes down the tubes?

see the lessons learned that we can apply in Phase B//3rd party campaign http://www.nolanchart.com/article2532.html

What a BS poll! FU. I have given so much to Ron Paul, but I also have hope that he will win the white house... even if it means going iNDY, which I think is, by far, the best option.

You want me to put up, well then here (this is besides the over 300 cold calls and 200 houses I've canvassed, plus more crap--this doesn't count the $100 for the MLK money bomb, the $51 for the Anniversary money bomb, the 250 for the danged blimp, the 250 for something else I don't even remember now, plus 100 here and another 100 there, plus about 75 for my meetup collection baskets!):
