Yep.. Id support Ron Paul and trust his judgment on who he staffs


But one thing we could all do right off the bat is immediately get our precinct captain program done and working.. we didnt get that off till later on during the campaign..

Yes, but I would be disappointed if he didn't upscale the PCC team. Though if I am not in the State House by that time, I may actually seek a paid position instead of a pure volunteer surviving on Ramen for 18 months.

I support the Man and the Message, not necessarily the team.

Morally and publicly, yes. Financially, I'm not so sure.

If Paul were not too old to run for president, I would.

I wouldn't be too happy but I would still support him. Maybe they learned something and are ready to step up to the plate the next time. However I might not donate much more if they were proving to be incompetent again because i wouldn't want to waste money on a losing campaign. But if the grassroots people are as wacky and in your face as the last time I probably won't donate either because that will kill his chances again.

Yes. I can't think of anyone in Congress who is more honest or insightful about issues we're facing today.

I must add that people who came up with IOWA ad that caused some libertarians to leave should not be part of RP campaign in future, that was too much pandering to usual fear mongering and damaged RP brand a bit. RP is a misfit in GOP but I respect his wish in trying to change the party from within even though IMO GOP is not the best platform for him. New party would be my vote but I know many disagree.

I love this bullshit poll that has a total of 37 people out of 300 million who live in the united states. Its worthless. Stop!

I imagine people who run polls on RPF understand that it reflects the views of this board rather than that of the population a at large.

Although it would be cool if Ron Paul won 91% of the vote :)

You're not too bright are you? Go back to your padded room.

Poll question is skewed.

He needs a better communications team. Remember the rally in Philadelphia?

I'd support Ron Paul with alcoholic brain-dead chimpanzees as his campaign staff. But that being said, perhaps a more experienced team would be a good idea.

Will I support RP by voting for him?

In a heart beat.

Will I support RP by handing out slim-jims, donating another $2300 to the campaign and trying to infiltrate GOP and become a precinct leader?

Not a fucking chance.

I got terribly burned in 07 and 08. I am hiring RP to solve our problems by voting for him, but I am terminating him as an inept campaigner.

YES !! The PA State peep did a great job trucking-in materials for the meet-ups. I hope to do it all over again.

Go Ron Paul !!

It's a valid question. The campaign failed last time, we didn't win one state during the primary. We need a team to take us to the next level.

I know, I know Louisiana, Washington, Nevada.....but the general public doesn't know those were moral victories for us.

Ron Paul needs the same team working for him that was working for McCain/Obama. NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, FOX, etc.

I voted "no" but I was lying.

But that campaign staff needs a huge makeover.

This memory of RP with pink lipstick, bad lighting, a distracting background of multi-colored books, and poor video clips is forever etched in my mind:

No, I would not. For the simple reason that he would lose again so what would be the point in wasting all my energy and money yet again. I was sorely disappointed in the way his campaign was run.

Support him?

YES, I will support him even if he does not run. period. there is nobody else with a record like his PROVING his principles.

Support the Campaign? Not a chance in hell. i will spend money on Grassroots things and other ways to spread the word
