If we want Ron Paul to win the nomination, we need to do only these 2 things: (1) Share his major selling points (Peace, Prosperity, and Freedom) with reasonable people who will listen and who have common sense. People with little or no common sense will not understand the virtues of Ron Paul. (2) Find the most efficient ways to attack Ron Paul’s opponents – Gingrich, Santorum, Huntsman, Perry, Romney, and Obama.
Things you should avoid: (1) Don’t play victim to the media, or even waste time complaining about the lack of media attention (but you can use the lack of media attention as evidence of media corruption). I see a lot of threads just complaining about media negligence. We can’t fight too many wars at once. The propaganda machine will never be on our side. Get used to it and move on. Every minute you spend complaining about CNN and CBS is one less minute you are selling Ron and attacking Newt and the 2 Ricks. (2) Don’t be overbearing and overly powerful when trying to sell Ron. We can come across as know it all and rabid, and many people can’t handle the raw truth.
Ron Paul can sell himself.
As a matter of fact, his speech on the night that he almost won the NH primary was one of the best speeches I ever heard. It was passionate and substantive. We could help the movement by sending the video link and the transcript of his speech (links below). We are selling common sense. We don’t have the media’s support, and we should just accept that and move on. So just focus on Ron’s real opponents and alert people who have the sense to use their brains. Focus on the most important facts about Ron: the way to peace and spreading democracy by being a role model instead of killing innocent civilian children, the way to prosperity by avoiding bankruptcy and deterioration of middle class and small business, the way to individual liberties so that no one in this country fears the government.
