And very few of them vote... the ones that do are not nearly enough to win a Republican nomination. Which is why you must target likely Republican voters.

"A politician will do almost anything to keep their job, even become a patriot" - Hearst
I miss the good old days when it was just good old fashioned representation of, by and for the people. You know? You liked a feller and figured he'd represent you well and so you sent him to represent you. Now we have political marketing. It has completely flip flopped. And we wonder why things keep getting worse. It's like American Idol up in this biatch. We have politicians standing in front of cameras sucking on super big gulps after speeches and endorsements like it's the Pepsi 500 or something. You know how the Nascar driver always takes a big drink of his sponsors product after he wins a race and they have the camera on him? Same thing. Freakin nutz...

There! You see? Don't you understand, cajun?
Matt haz mad skillz - and HIS time is far too precious for HIM to waste any time trying to convince YOU of what HE wants YOU to think.
Instead, it is YOUR responsibilty to do it for him - it is up to YOU to spend YOUR time convincing yourself of what HE wants YOU to think.
And if you don't - well, that just goes to show what an obstinately ignorant and unsophistiated rube you are ...
Yep. We're always told of Official this, Official that, long term vision/strategy...
Grassroots IS about as long term vision as you can get -and here's how I figure:
What I most love about grassroots is the sense of the "Plan B" that they have in place and ready to go. They are the Plan B.
Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD is kept safe. Proverbs 29:25

"We have set them on the hobby-horse of an idea about the absorption of individuality by the symbolic unit of COLLECTIVISM. They have never yet and they never will have the sense to reflect that this hobby-horse is a manifest violation of the most important law of nature, which has established from the very creation of the world one unit unlike another and precisely for the purpose of instituting individuality."- A Quote From Some Old Book

From what I understand, you can go up to 300' high on tethers without any kind of permit.
'We endorse the idea of voluntarism; self-responsibility: Family, friends, and churches to solve problems, rather than saying that some monolithic government is going to make you take care of yourself and be a better person. It's a preposterous notion: It never worked, it never will. The government can't make you a better person; it can't make you follow good habits.' - Ron Paul 1988

And there you have it folks.
It is not the blimp.
Or the sign waves.
Or the ads.
Or anything else the grassroots did.
You and I are "the fringe".
And we are not welcome in the Collins/Benton scheme of things.
And they have made this clear for years now.
The thing that pisses me off more than anything else is: even though we are the fringe, and an embarrassment on the DC cocktail party circuit, that didn't/doesn't stop Ron/Rand Paul Inc.© from wheedling money from good and decent folks.

So voters in early primary states don't watch TV? That's odd. I guess in 2016 Rand shouldn't do TV debates because most of the people watching the debates will not be likely Republican voters in early primary states. And if your argument is "Well the money could have been better spent", remember that at the time Ron Paul Inc had more campaign money than it knew what to do with.
Yes. Because clearly this ad won over lots of votes only to be scared away by the blimp.And even if they were, a blimp makes us look fringe which scares most voters.

Again, you're showing your marketing ignorance. "Likely Republican voters" were never Ron's base. There were many more people like me and the other good people on this board out there who needed to be reached. Those people aren't "scared" of people who are different (aka "fringe"). They're not used to rubbing elbows with the country club GOP establishment.
Coke learned that lesson in 1985....they tried to grab Pepsi drinkers with "New Coke" and overlooked the fact that they would piss off their own consumer base by changing the formula of their successful product.
Setting that lecture aside though, I fail to see how a blimp makes a candidate look "fringe" anyway. I'm serious. It's just another marketing tool....there's nothing fringe about it. MetLife and Goodyear use blimps in their advertising campaigns. They're quite mainstream.

You've burnt any reputation on these forums you once had. You should just leave.
In fact, I'm gonna burn your rep bar every chance I get. Because, I'm an $#@! like that. Every post you make I'm gonna neg when It's available. You don't deserve a "has a brilliant future" moniker.

Again, exactly.
Not sure if Collinz is just trolling us or is really that dense.
Your "typical" GOP primary voter hated Ron, they booed him when he quoted Christ from the Bible for $#@!'s sake.
That Warvangelical mob was never gonna be swayed to a Paul presidency.
The whole point was to get new, fresh blood in, and energize those people, like me, who had thrown up their hands in disgust and walked from the whole mess years before.
And in spite of what Collins or other "insider" halfwits have to say about it, I am goddamned proud to have been part of it, and met some of the most dedicated and sincere and hardworking people for liberty I have ever had the pleasure to meet.
So many good names in old threads, gone by the wayside.
It was a once in a lifetime experience.
And there wouldn't be a Rand Paul 2016© for these political leeches to attach themselves to if it wasn't for all of us.
Never forget that.
