And its leader was Congressman Ron Paul, M.D.! If only the GOP and mainstream media would recognize that...

It is out of our hands. WE know it but it has been co-opted. No amount of bantering will change that.

2012 is a new campaign, if he will run, we'll come up with a better one.

Of this I have no doubt.

Actually it was the 9/11 "Truthers" that started it.

They've also co-opted the money bomb. But hey, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery....

If only they'd imitate our liberty platform!

If/when Ron Paul runs in 2012 everybody will quickly realize who the real leader of the Tea Party is just based on what everybody is saying. All it will take is one or two debates and people will see that Ron is the only one talking about what the Tea Party preaches.

This is the reason why the strategy to keep Paul out of the debates (or minimize his speaking time during the debates) was pushed so hard in 07-08. Now we're seeing the same set-up with early polling, except the GOP has even more motivation to keep him out of the debates for 2012.

And believe it or not, all the sign waves in the world won't get him in the debates. All of the foxnews/cnn/msn/hln boycotts and phone calls in the world won't get him in the debates. Sign-waving and boycotting are fun as heck, and are temporary morale boosters. But lets learn from our mistakes.

Bottom line is that its going to take winning the iowa straw poll and a massive, immediate fundraising effort to the RP campaign IF he decides to run.
