Hi Everyone,
I have been pondering for quite sometime as to why our message hasn't resonated with the average voter in this election cycle, and after analyzing our numbers from 2008, it is clear that Ron is on the upswing and our constituency represents the future of what will be remaining of the GOP. We are at a crossroad and I think it is time that I speak up and lay out HOW we really need to do this. We should be proud that we have grown so much in the last 4 years-However, our goal is NOT:
1) to get a speech at the GOP convention
2) to alter the platform
3) to split a ticket with some neocon
OUR GOAL IS TO WIN.
After analyzing every single debate over and over with many of you, I have come to the conclusion that it is not the message, it is the way it is being delivered. It goes without saying that While I applaud Ron for his courage and polite nature, it has gotten us no where being nice to Santorum, Newt and Romney.
Case in point: Santorum has no problem interrupting Ron any chance he gets, and he is applauded- Romney dips and dodges every complicated question unrelated to the economy and NO ONE CALLS HIM OUT. Newt is a historical Revisionist who has been on every side of every issue, but he is NEVER confronted with any emotion, or called out personally for his adulterous actions. These people are given a free stage via our media to lie to the American people in an open forum regarding their records, personal life, and intentions as president. I understand many of you "found" Ron Paul by doing your own research, but the FACT IS- Americans are lazy, lack dignity, and are dishonest to the core. I've accepted that, and I think it's something that has permeated our society to the point of no return. Desperate times call for desperate measures, and I think it is finally time for someone to lay out what Ron NEEDS AND MUST SAY at the next debate which will be THE MOST CRUCIAL of any up to this point in the debate cycle.
Understand- Assuming we win Maine, we will have momentum from the win and vindication from the 2nd place finish in the latest Reuters poll as evidence of "elect-ability". This will be our WAVE. We need to ride the wave and capitalize on ANY AND ALL opportunity given to use while we are on the upswing. Here is what needs to come out at the next debate- I also include a video of Gerald Celente, only because I want to illustrate the magnitude of emotion and diction necessary to convince the AVERAGE American that Ron is the only guy who can beat Obama.
Doug Wead, John Tate, Jesse Benton, if you are reading this, I would suggest that you seriously consider my diction and choice of words, as they are not for the faint of heart or someone who wants to be "friendly". I am suggesting ALL OUT VICIOUS, SCORNFUL ATTACKS ON OUR COMPETITION. NO MORE HANDSHAKES AFTER THE DEBATE, NO MORE SMILING AND BEING POLITE. WE MEAN BUSINESS.
Ron v. Santorum on Stage- Santorum: "I'm the most conservative and can draw 'the greatest contrast with Obama"
Ron: "Senator Santorum is LYING to all of you. He is NOT the most conservative, and if you don't believe me, look at his voting record. He voted to raise the debt ceiling 5 times, while I have NEVER voted for a tax increase or unbalanced budget. He has voted against right to work legislation, while I have voted for every right to work bill as a congressman. Senator Santorum voted for Medicare part D, No child Left Behind, and has voted like a democrat for most of his career on KEY votes like this. He endorsed Pro - choice Arlen specter, who ended up being voted out. And in turn, he was also voted out of the senate in the biggest landslide in senatorial history. HE HAS NO BUSINESS TALKING ABOUT war, because he has NEVER SERVED. He does not have THE MORAL AUTHORITY to command the troops.
Death Blow- Ron: "Money talks. If my foreign policy is so bad, why do those on the front lines of the war give ME more money than all of you put together. None of you have served, none of you know what war is like, and I am the ONLY one up here that is fit to command the military, and the troops agree. ITS TIME WE END THESE WARS AND SHORE UP MEDICARE AND SS".
Ron v. Newt- Newt: "I want to reign in the federal reserve and put Ben Bernanke on the unemployment line".
Ron: "Newt has no idea what he is talking about. I have been fighting the Federal reserve for over 40 years as a congressman, and have written several books on monetary theory and ending the fed. Newt is an opportunist who has realized that more and more people have been coming around to the position that I have taken, and he is seeking to hijack my position for his own political benefit. Newt, as speaker of the house you never once mentioned an audit of the federal reserve as a top priority. You have never worked one day in the private sector, and have spent most of your life sucking off the public dole in government, or benefiting monetarily as an influence peddler for Freddie Mac, WHILE I WAS FIGHTING it. I called the housing bubble in 2003, while you were busy lobbying- your firm made 1.6 million from the taxpayers. Worst of all Newt, you claim to be a Reagan conservative, but Reagan never once mentioned you as a key proponent of any policy. He even took note that your military policy would hurt our defense capabilities. I led the texas delegation for Reagan in 76, and Reagan endorsed my military views in 1980. You are NOT FIT to serve as commander in chief of our military, as you have never served.
Death Blow: Ron:"You are a serial hypocrite, and you have been on every side of every issue. You have sat and done commercials with Nancy Pelosi. If you sat down with Pelosi to support carbon taxes, open borders and internationalism once, how can u reassure the american people you won't do it again?"
Ron v. Romney- Romney: "My plan will cut the budget 1 trillion over 10 years and strengthen our military, preserve SS and medicare for our seniors, and balance the budget"
Ron: "Governor Romney is betting that most of you won't go online and look at his budget, or inquire about how he plans to meet all of these goals. He is very dishonest in his presentation of the facts. Where is the money going to come from? Are you going to raise 'fees' like you did in Massachusetts? Any money taken from the people is a TAX. YOU ARE A TAX RAISER, and a big spender. Only when it comes to other people's money. You cannot have an empire in 130 countries and promise that SS and medicare will be there in 5-10 years. It is just impossible. If seniors truly want their SS and medicare, I am the only one who will use resources spent on embassies in Baghdad to shore up SS and medicare. I'll put our drones in the pacific and on the border- and design a military strategy focused on DEFENDING this country, not the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan. I will eliminate all foreign aid uniformly and without discrimination, and shore up programs like child healthcare.
Death Blow: I WILL BE AN 'AMERICA FIRST' president, and not spend one american dollar, or put one american life in danger unless its totally necessary. Governor Romney would send your kids, nephews, brothers sons and friends into war, but won't send his own. In fact, during the Vietnam war, you were a missionary in France. when you came back, you criticized people for protesting, and even took to the streets in doing so. If I were to look up "chicken hawk in the dictionary, I would see your picture. You are the true definition of a chicken hawk. You have no business talking about war, because you have never gotten into anything as much as a schoolyard fight. You represent the corporations, and not populist America. your top three contributors are Goldman, JP Morgan, and Citigroup. My top 3 contributors are the US AIR FORCE, US ARMY and THE NAVY"
Please review and watch the emotion and candor of Gerald celente in his analysis of what we need to say:

While I don't want to come off as a nutjob or right wing lunatic, Gerald is spot on. we need to take the gloves off and stand firm.
I have outlined above what we need to say at the debates. This is not an option. I will not be donating any more money to this campaign unless Ron starts reciprocating the anathemas that have been hurled at him by each of these men and the media, throughout this campaign. I love Ron, but like I said before, desperate times call for desperate measures. While I recognize it has been politically expedient to lay low and not attack, and allow the race to take a shape (for a potential brokered convention), it is now time to draw the line in the sand with these people. These men up on stage do not represent us, or our values or ideals. They are criminals, and need to be exposed for what they are, even if it means Ron is portrayed as "rude" or "out of step with the mainstream". I know Ron has no problem saying how he feels, but the time for being politically correct and sitting back is over. I will be donating the rest of what I am available to donate on Feb 14, but after that I will not be donating again until I see emotion and raw attacks.
I urge everyone who feels the same to get behind me and influence the campaign. We need the people at the top to see what we are seeing. time is running out. This may be our last chance.
