I'm not sure where to post this, so maybe it will be moved or deleted but here goes.
People keep posting and lamenting on various RP sites about the official campaign and the lack of "direction" from RP. People are missing the point. RP doesn't see himself as a leader for others so much as he wants to get government out of the way of people so they can live as they wish. If you need to be led, you need Hillary or Obama to tell you how to live. (Of course, most folks don't believe that THEY need led, but they insist on picking the leaders for other people). We have been indoctrinated from an early age to think we "need" to be led. This requires a paradigm shift. I think RP wants the grassroots to get him elected. He is the vehicle but we have to figure out how to drive it where we want it to go.
RP's comments on the campaign being unconventional are a big clue to his thinking. He knows playing by the rules will get us nowhere because the game is rigged. We need to be creative, devise ways around the gatekeepers. The internet has been a big way to do this but we are still up against vote fraud and a lying media. We need to make the MSM irrelevant. Maybe set up sites to ridicule them, establish a "Hall of Shame" to expose the wolves in sheeps clothing who call themselves small government or free market but attacked RP or refused to endorse him. A "Hall of Fame" could also be set-up, maybe on this site (?) listing the friends and supporters of RP and liberty, a sort of "Good Housekeeping seal of approval" of real friends of liberty as opposed to the pretenders.
