Hey... it's just like I expected...

The party leadership will pick the 5 they like the most, and then let you "vote" on those.

Can't say we didn't try! Plus many other republicans will watch the videos, and convincing them.

[Andrew-Austin]

Bad strategy. I don't think they need to be asking people why right about now, a portion might not even know.

[angelatc]

I still might submit one. They should be assured of hearing our message every time they poke their tiny little heads out of their butts for a minute.

[revolutionman]

lets rip the idea and do our own version

"The Real Reason I'm A Republican"

[CasualApathy]

I agree, but it's probably because they don't know themselves.

[SnappleLlama]

How about, "Why Were You Originally a Republican, But Changed Your Party Affiliation Halfway Through G.W. Bush's Second Term?"

I could definitely do a Ken Burns-style series on that. :)

[Jeremy]

who cares if they pick a few

at least they have to see all of our Ron Paul vids when they need to judge

[Kalifornia]

"Im Republican because I want to get close enough to McCain to find out WTF is wrong with his neck!"

[SnappleLlama]

ROFL!! That's awful!!

(hey, that rhymed!)

*tap dances*

[acptulsa]

Am I the only one pleased as punch to see them begging us to do for them what we voluntarily did for Ron Paul?

Yeah, we should do one. The theme: "Because I want to take this nation away from the thieves." Anyone have footage of the Louisiana, Nevada and Texas conventions?

[mediahasyou]

It's parody time!

:p lol

[Kalifornia]

Im just going to send them a copy of Reagans speech from the 64 convention.

Why? They still worship Reagan and expect the same from everyone else. Show them RP to show them the future of the party =)

have you SEEN the 1964 Reagan speech?

[Jeremy]

have you SEEN the 1964 Reagan speech?

Probably, but you knoooooooooow that they won't think anything of it. They'll be like "why Reagan, of cooooourse".

Imagine if Ron Paul had the stage presence of Barack Obama. Im not kidding. Its that good.

The problem with the doofus republicans is that they either never listened to Reagan or they have forgotten what the guy had to say.

Never listened. He was no more held to his campaign promises than Dubya has been.

Obama isn't really that great of a speaker. He has poet-like speech writers is all.

Huckabee is probably a better speaker than Obama.

Hi all,

This is an opportunity to get excited about. Its a perfect opportunity to submit videos on core ron paul messages. For example, if you submit a video you could talk about the importance of limited government and low taxes.

Best,

James

As a matter of fact, anyone who can make a video that extolls all of Ron Paul's positions and none of McCain's and get it into the finals will earn my heartiest congratulations! I expect it can be done...

[jacmicwag]

Why am I a Republican in 2008? Easy answer - Ron Paul. So I'll be submitting a video for consideration - definitely. We need a bunch of these to go in.

That's me, too!

I'm not saying don't do it... That's entirely up to you or anyone else.

I'm just saying it's how I'd expect them to operate, since that's how they prefer their elections. They don't want all submitted videos and a real vote. They want to pick a few videos, then let people vote on those so the party leadership has complete control over the conversation, leaving an illusion of choice for republicans in general.

[orafi]

I flagged this video because it infringes on my rights.

[acroso]

Everyone flag this video. It offends us.

No, send them videos on why you're now a Libertarian. ;)

[acroso]

Why are YOU in our shitty Party? Send in some positive videos!

Moronic.

For anyone looking for ideas, I'd like to see a "Dr. Strangelove" homage.

Oh, but the official GOP YouTube channel has Reagan's speech from 1964! Just take a look at this thread:

We're not Republicans; the Republican party betrayed us; they betrayed their core values. It's a dirty party that deserves NO RESPECT and we are far too good to be "republicans".

[Indy4Chng]

Hey me too (except it might have been the end of his first term)!!!

Might as well explain to Howard Dean why you are not a democrat, and why you are not voting for Obama.
