This is really difficult for me, but it is time to face/deal with reality.
There are several things out there that will/could keep Dr. Paul from being nominated:
1.) First and foremost the mainstream media (MSM) is out in force against our candidtate.
2.) If Dr. Paul does well in the upcoming primaries the MSM will use the "Ron Paul Newsletter" and other topics such as the video of his reply to a question about "evolution" to absolutely fry him. I don't see how the campaign can effectively deal with these questions; especially considering how the views of his supporters will not be aired. He'll be potrayed as a "kook" and the media will have a field day with this stuff.
3.) I know, and we on this board know what Dr. Paul is about, but he constantly uses phrases, terminology and ideology that the morons of this world do not understand or will misinterpret.
a:)Dr. Paul continually talks about "trading and travelling" with other countries...mainly in the context of how we should deal with the problem in the Middle East. We've already seen how his rivals are going to use this against him. I cannot believe that somebody in his campaign has not already told him to stop using this terminology. Especially the word "travel."
b:) His constant talk about getting rid of the Department of Education. This is going to have a negative effect on everybody (aka...any idiot) that hears it. Especially those people with children!!!!!! He needs to stop saying this. This may be a remark about government spending in general, but it sounds horrible to voters. Also, in the big picture of government overspending, it is inconsequential.
c:) He needs to stop talking about drugs. <<<<Period. People have been "educated" that drugs are bad. The citizens of this country have been innudated with information/media about why the "drug trade" is bad. Starting with "Miami Vice" and the "still showing," "The Wire." (best show on Tv!!!) Drugs, in most cases, are a horrible drain on society. People (voters) do not like drugs. Addicts don't give a shit..and aren't voting.
This message gets confused. Dr. Paul is suggesting that the states should deal with the problem, but it sounds like he is "ok" with heroin, meth and cocaine addicts running the streets...
"medicinal marijuana" is another topic..but so freaking unimportant/marginal when dealing with the other issues facing our country.
d:) talk of eliminating the FBI and CIA. The majority of people in this country believe that these orginizations are important and serve a vital purpose. To suggest they should be eliminated is going to disfavour our candidate.
4.) If Dr. Paul will not focus on the really important issues that I have supported him for, and that will attract voters, then he is doomed and we need to move on to plan "b."
Plan "B" would be using the energy and resources of this board to promote a change in governmental policy. Not a campaign of a single candidate who will never be nominated, much less elected, as President.
We would use our resources to support any/all candidates who wants to focus on the following:
a.) get the troops out of Iraq and other countries.
b.) a sound fiscal policy
c.) immigration (enforcement of our laws)
d.) national soverienty (sp?) (I don't know how to spell)
e.) an end to the policies of the Federal reserve.
f.) a dramatic scaling back/ending of entitlement programs that this country cannot afford.
g.) Lowering/eliminating the federal income tax.
The candidate who truly wants to do these things and does not have a "background" that can be attacked by the MSM surely has a chance to be nominated/elected.
Anyways. The campaign needs to get our candidate a bit more focused and we, as a very powerful, money raising PAC, may need to start focusing on influencing policy beyond this presidential campaign.
Don't let all this hard work and enthusiasm go to waste.
