Default How to Win the Convention- REAL REVOLUTION

I am a Republican and am within the party.

I have seen the belly of the beast.

Many of us in the party are angry about what has happened. We know the game.

Romney's people will never do it. Giuliani's people will never do it. They are beholden to the party. Only you can and will.

Your campaign has been taken off course. Whether you realize it or not, your opportunity to win the nomination is now greater than ever. Take hold of the reigns.

Steady mind and steady planning.

Huckabee is your saving grace for he will drive the wedge within the party line. Do not be sidetracked. Do not be despondent. Do not be afraid.

Win.

The focus now, should be to receive delegate votes at the Convention. Ideally, the RPHQs should be working with you to bring delegates on board. They probably are not doing this so it is up to you.

It is the delegates and only the delegates that will determine the winner of the Republican nomination. McCain and Huckabee's campaign know this and they are working in this direction. You should be too.

Unbound delegates may vote for whom they like.

Bound delegates may hope for a brokered convention, or they may choose to go in opposition of party rules and vote for the candidate of their choice.

One thing is for sure. You will never be able to vote for RP if you are not there as a delegate.

Does a Revolution wilt away at the first sign of defeat? No.

YOU are your only hope for the future. This is your opportunity to win and only RP supporters have the fortitude to do it. This should be the direction you work in. It is not over.

Think.
Plan.
Organize.
Act.
Win!

Good luck.

Hope I don't sound like a broken record, but want to emphasize that by sending all supporters we can to both state and national convention, *even* if Paul can't win the nomination, we can effectively bind the nominee and party to Paul's message and thus he wins and make it easier for future Ron Paul Republicans to compete in next election year.

So, press on, regardless of how many states McCain wins, regardless of whether Huckabee has a hotline to God to divinely inspire him, no matter what, we *will* win if we do our homework, read the rules, play the game!

Be a broken record because I don't think people realize how much of an influence we can have on the republican party platform. That in and of itself is HUGE! And besides, in the words of the great Yogi Berra, "it ain't over 'till it's over".

This is not a love song.

This is about victory.

Thank you for the welcome.

A Friend.

I love the sound of victory. It is like a song to my ears.

I am hoping that you have lurked here long enough to know the kind of cat-house it can be. Intelligent individualists from across the political spectrum can be a rowdy lot. Add to that the establishment shills, common trolls, and an administartive directive to maximize free speech, ...

Are you aware of the recent "billionaire episode"? Me thinks people will be treating your post with a some skepticism when it starts getting out. The mysteriousness and all. For certain it is a very encouraging post. Have you posted it elsewhere, or just here?

I am thinking of moving it to a more active area, the board is moving quick today.

Always good to have more friends and if there is anything we can do to help, feel free to PM me.
