But his time has passed. If there was anything that struck me coming out of CPAC 2010 this last weekend, it was a feeling that Ron Paul’s fans need to focus less on a 74 year-old mediocre Congressman, and more on how to actually affect real change in the political process.

Paul’s victory in the CPAC 2010 presidential straw poll only serves to immediately diminish the impact that CPAC could have on providing conservatives with some direction on who some of our future national leaders might be. Ron Paul certainly won’t be one of them. I’m not saying that to be critical, it’s just a fact.

We need a negative press section or something.

Damn, people are really hating on Ron Paul. This is what happens when you present something new rather than the same ole status quo.

Why did you put the cool smiley on the thread?

Uh, what do they think we are doing? Sitting around watching youtube videos of ron paul with puppy eyes, drooling all over our keyboards while we hack online polls?

lol @ this. We just took the CPAC straw poll and started a national movement in the tea parties and they say we're not affecting real change? OK.:rolleyes:

I thought it was the "Can you believe this shi*!?" smiley :)

That, indeed, is exactly what "they" think "we're" doing.

Gotta take the bad with the good, it is a struggle after all, we're win a few more warm bodies hopefully, he's getting a ton of good press too.

"Unlike all of the other Republicans, this Republican is opposed to big government corporatism, and the large media conglomerate that owns us doesn't like that."

Naw...that'd be a little too honest.
