How to shut down ANY detractor of the Ron Paul delegate strategy - In 1976 Reagan Did It

in 1976, Reagan's "Silent Majority" shocked the world by nearly beating a sitting President Gerald Ford.

The strategy was to win delegates on the state level, take over State Party Organizations, and fill every committeeman and committee woman slot in the United States - sound familiar?

So the next time you hear or see:

Ron Paul is stealing delegates - Reagan did it.

Ron Paul supporters are taking over Republican State Organizations - Reagan did it.

Ron Paul supporters want to cause mischief - Reagan supporters did

Ron Paul supporters are trying to circumvent the system - Reagan did it

Ron Paul supporters are trying to win through the backdoor delegate process - Reagan did it

Folks it wasn't called the Reagan Revolution for nothing.

Reagan didn't "steal" bound

Reagan didn't "steal" bound delegates.

there is ZERO comparison to the situation in 1976 and 2012.

There are photo's Reagan at the Bohemian Club with Ford

Reagan was friendly to the establishment, not a treat like Paul is. There is no comparison in the way the two are treated.

Paul threatens what can be described as nothing short of organized crime. They own and/or have control over the media here. It is sooooo obvious what they are doing with the media, that even the most dimwitted, government schooled news watcher is scratching their head seeing that something doesn't quite make sense.

But, few of them have the skills or equipment to search out information themselves, so the "news" covers all bases and keeps them entertained while explaining it all (currently with such blatant lies, that you wonder how these people can possibly still be buying it)

Ron Paul called out the FED and calls for Sound Money practices

Reagan didn't do it.

Ron Paul will bring all the troops home, Reagan didn't.. he sent them to vietnam.

I could keep going and going and going... but the end result is the same, NOT ONE President is comparable to a candidate as principled and consistent as Dr. Paul.

Not even a comparison is due justice for the hyspocrisy of the GOP, we shouldnt allow for the GOP to tempt this movement by pretending it started with Reagan.

Puppets aside, genuine liberty comes with genuine surprise..and I was not surprised with what happened in Reagans administration.

Ron Paul leads by example, Reagan didn't

"Let me issue and control a nation's money and I care not who writes the laws."
- Mayer Amschel Rothschild

"give me control of my own permaculture and I care a lot about what makes law"

-Permaculture Republican

Didnt he win 49 states too

In the general election?
Not sure what year that was though..

Mathew 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

Ron was one of only a few

Ron was one of only a few congressmen who supported Reagan in those early years. And the the GOP claim Reagan as their own brainchild. lol

We will win!

Reagan won

in 1980 but laid the groundwork in 1975 (thanks to "acting" experiences.) How does this post parallel with what is going on today? Reagan was a Big-Government socialist who made S.W.A.T. a federal policy and more...

Life deserves liberty and freedom

The Reagan Strategy

The campaign and Ron himself should stop calling it the "delegate strategy" in interviews, it just confuses people who aren't following things too closely.

Start calling it the "Reagan Strategy", that will pique the curiosity of conservatives.

That's the ticket

to make them think.

But that man should play the tyrant over God, and find Him a better man than himself, is astonishing drama indeed!~~D. Sayers

THIS!!!

??

I was curious if we could find any video or any coverage of how Reagan was portrayed in the MSM when he used this same strategy? If we could find coverage it would be a good video to compare and contrast the coverage each has received. Just a thought let me know if anyone thinks this is feasible or even a good idea.

Ron Paul Will Succeed Where Reagan Failed... Please God

...Ronald Reagan didn't accomplish the things that Ron Paul and others expected. We will have our poetic Justice.. because God has given this great nation a SECOND CHANCE to restore our freedoms.

This is the lords blessing that WE be once again, that shinning light for the whole world.

Didn't Kennedy beat Johnson...

In the same manner? Also why Johnson was so pissed that he lost to him.

Johnson announced last minute

maybe days before the convention, and Stevenson

Johnson never had a chance, but he was big in the south.

Jonhson's beef was with Robert Kennedy.

Only this time,

Paul will actually do what Reagan only talked about.

We will

Win this. IF we don't win this we will keep fighting until we do win, The way I always explain it is, Once you have seen the light or been awakened there is no going back.

Ron Paul Can Win

Pretty good Article about RP http://mediadagger.com/?p=2450

I explain it this way...

"Certainly, among the tens of thousands of Romney's voters in EVERY state, there should be enough serious people among his loyal followers who should gladly become delegates and overwhelm Paul's measly number of supporters, shouldn't there? That is, unless Romney's popularity is a fiction created by the political and media establishment. What other explanation can you offer?"

Well said, I totally agree!

WE WILL NEVER VOTE FOR ROMNEY!!!

Don't stop believing

And he lost to Ford

But the most amazing part of losing the nomination to Ford in 76, was the moment Ford won the nomination the delegates knew almost immediately they had not made the better choice. The moment Ford won the nomination Reagan became the GOP choice Republican for POTUS.

Nice - and the circle is completed

great, thanks forgot about that.

Ok so he isn't outright

Ok so he isn't outright winning the nomination, so now he's got a secret strategy for winning it. Now if that fails, does he have a flying DeLorean stashed away somewhere?

oh dEvil, you never miss a chance to be a naysayer.

So, like how many converts have you had, that joined your Dungeons & Dragons dinner table sized Sith Army?

'cause looks like you got less audience than Chris "Tweety" Matthews.

I hear oBUSHma never runs out of need to find morally bankrupt drone-pilots. Should check it out: murder innocent brown foreigners by 2pm sitting in front of a videogame console, and be home to eat dinner by 6pm in a 500sq ft. apartment. Now that's a living!

Seriously Mods, what is it gonna take?
