We all know that Ron Paul supporters are a more philosophical, critically thinking, and intellectual support-base (not to boast). Even the RPF forums have many individuals which speak well, write well, and fully comprehend the positions of which Ron Paul stands on. We have dedicated sections for understanding such vital things . . . such as the US Constitution, or Economics. We all understand that many supporters of other candidates merely do not understand the positions Ron Paul is taking, which is why they condemn Ron Paul (or are influenced to do so). Ron Paul's entire philosophy in his campaign is about consideration, respect, civility, and true representation of principles and our foundations. I do not know how successful this idea would be, however, what if one great way to attract more supporters is to invite them to this forum specifically.
Not only invite people to these forums, but encourage them to come here and ask questions. We have many dedicated forum members which gladly answer any questions on Ron Paul and his positions. But what if we dedicated forum sections for specific topics (Foreign Policy, Stance on The Fed, Big Government vs. Small Government, SSI, Healthcare, 5 Cabinets, etc.) that are turning away potential Ron Paul supporters? What if we invited these people to these specific sections? Appointed community members (a small council of members) which are dedicated to answering questions from indecisive voters.
These sections would consist of Sticky Threads, with detailed information regarding WHY or HOW <X> Topic or Policy is bad. These sticky threads would also consist of Ron Paul videos which act as evidence for his stances.
The entire idea behind this, is to welcome indecisive (or even provoke curiosity from Ron Paul Haters) voters with open arms. As the forum grows, more information (truth) would be getting spread to more people; this is all consequent due to promoting a hub of information where non-paul supporters are even welcome (where their questions can even be considered).
These forum sections, are no fly zones for hostility from fellow RPF Members. These are to be tolerant sections of the forum, which receive only considerate answers. Even if a non-paul voter becomes angry with some of your answers, they'll look back on those answers and re-read them (more often than not) a few times and really begin thinking about those answers.
Forum Category: Ron Paul Opponents FAQ Center
Sections: Foreign Policy, Social Security Insurance, Federal Reserve, The Five Cabinets, Foreign Aid, Gold-Backed Currency, etc.
The result of this idea, is that it places all common misconceptions or questions of Ron Paul into a neatly organized and archived FAQ Center. Whereas opponents can ask questions, receive the correct answers, and as this grows further misconceptions and questions will be correctly answered.
