Should we go and pretend like we support McCain and instead vote for Ron Paul?

Say that we are conservatives looking to represent conservative values at the convention.

Get a list of delegates and call them and ask who they are supporting. Ask the Ron Paul supporters to meet up before the convention and decide who will be the one to go to the state convention and or the national convention.

Yes.

We scared the GOP establishment. It took them a little to gather their wits. Time to change tactics. And we'll keep changing tactics until we win.

No.

Ron Paul is not going to win the nomination. The point now is to advance the message. If we are undercover, then no one will hear the message. Also, if we plan on continuing to work within the republican party we dont want a history of lies and deceit.

What *should* be done is that you take a look at yourself, your state, and your situation. Can you still become a delegate? Is your state done with the process of filling spots with actual names to go to the RNC? Is there anything you can do via local committees? Are you eligible to do anything to further the delegate count?

"Pretending to support McCain" blatantly is not going to win you many friends in the long run, and might end up costing us in the public relations war. If your response is "so what?" to this, then yeah it might still be an idea for you. Please research VERY carefully, as some states do punish bound delegates who go against that binding.

If you can't get in on the delegate portion of things, continue in the Grassroots. Some states still have primary voting coming up or going on! Get those slimjims to the right people, buy Dr. Paul's book, help ongoing efforts in need of support...

Options are almost endless and they all help, but it's all personal. What's the best use of YOUR time?

i agree with the sentiment even if i dont like/agree with the absolute statement

Ron Paul is not going to win the nomination.
though there is a small chance of it happening crazy things have been going on this election year and i wouldnt rule it out 100%

say we manage to get some delegations thrown out for rule violations dropping mccains official delegate count and the moveon.org manages to get some of the worst mccain moments into comercials ya know the bomb iran song he did the vid of him saying how he hates the "gooks" and always will ect ect ect

Wrong! This is what "Bradley in DC" has been preaching since last summer that we become delegates. We need to do both.


BTW, we are givng the message out with the New York Times Best Seller.

I'm in agreement with the guy who said we change tatics in order to stay ahead. It's like in chess, you have to be a step ahead. We shouldn't be afraid to do the obvious.
