There are so many conversations going on about how to go stack this poll with support, where Ron will stand at the Convention, who is going to get what pressure to endorse what policies now, etc. All of it seems like regular american bullshit politicking to me. It raises an instinctively nauseous reaction in me to hear "revolutionaries" talking about these kinds of compromises and apologies and accommodations. It sounds like anti-Clinton people in the 90s, murmuring about how to best get a cheap shot to temporarily affect some news cycle.
On the bright side though...
no Santorum or Gingrich or Romney people are any more prepared than 5 or 10 years ago to affect any kind of political chance anywhere. They just adapted to more loyally absorb obviously tyrannical and more offensive ruling class positions, and can now even more readily surrender their own interests to those of the corporate/regulatory mechanism. They think more than ever probably that what is good for Dick Cheney is good for them.
Ron Paul people, however, have spent many years now familiarizing themselves with their local electoral processes and guidelines, have extended their support networks into different classes and interest groups, and have learned to tap regular sources of funding. They have harnessed volunteer skills to learn that it does not take madison avenue firms to churn out high-quality information releases.
barring a nationally coordinated Draft and new war effort, the american political landscape is ripe for r3volutionary harvests. In the summer when Occupy kids are being penned into improvised detention centers, who but the Paul movement will have any effective understanding of this to present to the disaffected legions? Because the offices of men like Santorum will assuredly be smashed and vandalized.
