Ron Paul: The 'Sign' of a Bad Campaign
posted by Chris Gent on Oct 21, 2007 10:57:56 PM
I drove home from downtown Orlando today and passed 27 Ron Paul for President campaign signs -- 16 in Conway alone. Some were professional signs; most were handmade signs with phrases like "Google Ron Paul" or "Ron Paul Revolution."
The signs were posted illegally in public right-of-ways, nailed on utility poles, taped to utility transformers, erected on private property without the permission of the owners and some even blocked the line of sight for busy intersections. I even saw a Ron Paul campaign volunteer purposely damage a downtown tree in order to erect a campaign sign.
I don't know Ron Paul and I certainly don't have anything against him running for President of the United States. This is America, after all. Anyone can run for president.
But when you run for president your principles should guide your actions and those of your campaign volunteers.
What does it say about a candidate whose volunteers choose to snub local code enforcement laws, trespass on private property, damage beautiful trees and endanger the safety of the driving public?
It speaks volumes.
You may now return to the neighborhood.
