The Field will be down to THREE SOON! (Plus RP)
After Super Tuesday, attrition will winnow the field down to Mitt, maybe McCain, or maybe Huck; Rudy is toast, as is Fred, and Dunk (all Dead Horses Rinnin'). Relax people - Let it happen - it Will! The survivors will face RP!!!!!
All of the armchair 'strategists' who get their jollies pontificating, and bask in this short spot of fame on DP will have far less to bellache about within two weeks. RP has enough $$$$$ in his war chest to have 3rd, maybe 4th, locked up even if he sits on his hands for two weeks (which he won't).
I swear, most of you people have never seen a good fight of any kind, probably out side of the boob tube. If you could see how silly and naive you look, calling for heads, looking for trolls, demanding this and that, why you'd probably crawl back under that rock!
Maybe some of you need to.
What if we were herded into the war

Dirty Laundry is right
The Ron Paul campaign is going to have to take the gloves off and start exposing some off the weaknesses of the opponents. He also needs to expand his messege. Albeit, the press has given him little opportunity to articulate, but he has some big chances, like on Leno. For instance, why not say something more detailed like:
As we pull our troops in from around the world and reduce the unimportant bases, we'll establish a string of Southern boarder bases along Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California and we'll stop this foreign invasion once and for all........and our guardsmen will really be protecting America, and State economies..........and they'll be close to their families.
Now, here is a simple solution to one of the most talked about problems, and guess what? Nobody else has mentioned this solution. How easy!

Idaho Joe, Other candidates
Idaho Joe,
Other candidates will be dropping out well before Super Tuesday.
Regardless this is why we must keep donating. Money will keep RP in the race while others go broke and drop out. This only gets him more attention and allows his message to reach more people.
Imagine him on a debate stage with only 2-3 other people!
Supporters on blog comments frustrated with anti-war emphasis
On other forums, I have seen numerous individuals who agreed with me that RP hurt himself in the ABC debates by turning every question, for instance on health care, into "we cannot afford our foreign policy".
He may have been accurate about "spending on empire", but the bottom line for many supporters is that RP can win only by discussing civil liberties losses that are real and hurtful to all of us.
His Rasmussen rating went from 14% to 11% after the Saturday debate.
Remember: Hillary Clinton won the anti-war vote in New Hampshire. Don't ask why nor say "that is illogical". My observation is that most anti-war people, with the exception of true RP supporters, are illogical when it comes to explaining why they are anti-war.
I suggest that RP do a TV ad every few days from now until February 5th where he exposes another piece of outrageous legislation from the US Senate of McCain/Clinton.
The ad should be titled "The McCain/Clinton Outrageous Law of the Week".
Dirty Laundry
It's my opinion that Dr. Paul should take the matching funds and use them to run ads clarifying his record against those running against him.
He needs to get negative by pointing out the tax-hikes and horrible voting records of the other candidates - as well as their flip-flopping on many issues.
By casting doubt on their performances as politicians, Ron Paul would be shining light on his principled record.
And as the others would confront Paul on his tactics, this would give the Congressman more time in the press. Dirty Laundry... it works.
"Yo Joe"
Wondering how many are still around from "88" here? Too many summer soldiers and sunshine patriots. Doesn't appear to be too many with battle scars from the past. Time to dig up the old farts, dust them off and get them back in the fight. A little less talk and a lot more action.
Voluntary Association, Mutual Cooperation.
Voluntary Association + Mutual Cooperation + 110% Personal Responsibility = 100% Individual Liberty
Right on 'Annie'
You're around, I'm around, who else do we need :) A certain number of FNGs do eventually become seasoned soldiers, and then leaders - spose I should cut the newbies a little slack; but Old Farts definitely have higher octane;) see ya later!
Sick of Predictions...
I'm tired of these ridiculous predictions....we sound like the idiots who predicted Iraq we be a piece of cake. Umm...we've been wrong about a few things now and i think it's time to end the pointless speculation. Let's just go out there and do the best each of us can. I don't want to hear another pro-paul prediction until after super-tuesday. The goddamn polls were right and all of our and Ron's bitching about it was wrong and got us nowhere...
Game OVER
Game Over MAN Game Over!
Smooth Talking Mitt already has 2.5% of the necessary delegates!
Maybe we could divide up the left over money and return it to all to the donors?
There are only 2,380 delegates left. How do you stop someone who already has THIRTY! I'm no scientist, but it just doesn't seem possible.
Well, I've got to get going. It's going to take awhile to scrape off all my Ron Paul bumper stickers and drop the campaign shirts off at goodwill.
I will add a postscript to my message and say, “THANK YOU TROLLS” because without them, I wouldn’t have been able to interpret these numbers as a political endgame.
It’s too bad the race was over 40 days before I got to vote… Would’a been fun to vote for someone I enjoy listening to.
I posted this elsewhere but...
People can vote for who they like at the convention.
Have a read of this piece:
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/09/us/politics/09repubs.html?...
It's looking more and more like the pimaries and caucuses are going to mean virtually nothing by the time the convention comes around - all they're doing right now is establishing that there is no front runner. Huckabee won Iowa, McCain won New Hampshire, Romney will win Michigan, Giuliani will win Florida and they'll divide the rest of the scraps between them (and Thompson will win nothing - I reckon he pulls out pretty soon, along with Hunter and Keyes). I think our best chance here is for these a**holes to continue fighting each other and bashing each other while we build support for the convention and get as many delegates as we possibly can to it - under the radar, so to speak.
Is there any way the campaign can fund delegates for this? Can we put some of ths money raised into paying for our devoted guys and gals on the ground to get to the convention and pull the rug out from under their feet at the final hurdle?
As folk have rightly said, the economy is on the ropes and financial analysts and everyone else agrees that Ron Paul would be the best guy to bail the US out of the bottomless pit it's heading for - economically speaking. If we can put a hard core block of delegates at the convention, if we have enough of them in place, then we can stand up above the squabbling 'front runners' and take the nomination from right under their noses. All the other issues will fade to insignificance and people will by crying out for an economist - and that's our guy.
This is too new, unless there is massive voter fraud at play here (and there probably is, but unless we can prove it very very quickly that doesn't matter for this nomination) then it appears that whilst Dr Paul has generated a massive amount of support in a very short time, people aren't well acquainted enough with him and his policies to get enough votes to win the primaries. People recognise his name now but the MSM has done a damn fine job of making sure what they recognise is a candidate who can't win the nomination. So they don't vote for him. Most people don't really look at the issues, so we're up against a brick wall of idiocy here.
Where we can make a difference is at the convention. Far fewer numbers, and people who actually do pay attention to policies and to politics. It'll still be an uphill struggle, but I think that's the fight we stand a better chance of winning.
In the meantime we continue to declare our guy from the rooftops, to give what funds we can and we lay the foundation for the Ron Paul movement to sweep through the government and leave it licking its wounds and wondering where the heck we came from.

for this refreshing bit!
90% is the goal!!!
90% of the people should change their minds when shown videos of all the hand signals of pyramids and double blinking eyes. They even showed two waves headed to NH which means only one thing. Moving INDEX FINGER. Must stop at all costs.

I am with Ron Paul for the duration
I believe in Ron Pauls message. I believe if this honorable man at 72 yrs of age can keep up the constant pace of getting the message of Freedom out, I can stick by his side like glue and continue this fight. I know that the 2nd American R3VOLUTION which is occurring now is going to be the fight of our lifetime, as Dr. Paul knew this better than any of us ever could, yet he agreed to be our presidential candidate. Dr. Paul has had to withstand so much ridicule from the msm and then undertake media blackouts etc... He has been able to take the heat and continue standing strong. Dr. Ron Paul IS my only chosen presidential candidate and with that comes my loyalty to continue to help him get his message of freedom out to the american people. I will continue to donate my money and my time to this patriot and his most worthy message. I am with the Ron Paul R3VoLuTiOn for the duration.
same goes for me!
I will be here until the end. This only strengthens my resolve to work harder to inform as many people as I can about Dr. Paul and his message.
Rome wasn't built in a day. This is only January and I can talk to a lot of people between now and November!
It's not how you start.........
..............but how you finish.
They tried to stop Ron Paul by ignoring him, by laughing at him and by excluding him. Can you imagine the looks on the faces of all those doubters when he is still participating in primaries on 06/03 in Montana, New Mexico and South Dakota. Wouldn't it be great to win those primaries? Let's make sure Ron Paul is one of the last men standing !!!!
THIS is what the r3VOLution is about...
We are unstoppable...we must expose the CFR...THEY know the game will be over if we win! We MUST NOT LET THEM
Recruit
Recruit Mel Gibson and let's put a celebrity on board with the Ron Paul FREEDOM MESSAGE! How about a "Recruit Mel Gibson Bomb". Anyone know how to contact him and to get Ron Paul in touch with him?
Good god no

Yes but won't the MSM support Mccain even though he has no money?
We are new. Come and check us out! Purpose of our site is to quickly bring newbies up to speed regarding Ron Paul.
y'all need a good bump...

it happens every four years
Look at the numbers
http://edition.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/primaries/results/state...
New Hampshire appears to be a DEMOCRATIC state more than anything so realize that Ron Paul is still a contender.
Everybody wants to paint NH as an Independent or Republican state and it is NOT....just look at the number of Democratic votes cast versus Republican.
Perhaps the campaign didn't spend the entire fortune in NH but that doesn't mean his advisers failed him or us. Ron Paul's campaign knows where to spend the time and money.
McCain may have won NH but he is BROKE...in fact he is working off of borrowed money. THAT'S RIGHT. He took out a huge loan just to "work" NH. McCain will run out of funds and fade away fast as will Huckster and Ghouliani.
HANG IN THERE PEOPLE THIS IS JUST ROUND TWO....it means nothing because we have the money and the staying power to carry on and the message will be heard by more voters once the number of candidates gets dwindled down! It happens the same way every four years....an early loss means nothing.
AMEN
You are SO right. As the field narrows it will be increasingly difficult for the MSM to keep up the blackout. The funds WILL continue to flow into our campaign as this MOVEMENT continues to snowball and more and more Americans become enlightened.
Dr. Paul is the only candidate discussing hard issues that pertain to ALL of us and with less of the other candidates(pretenders) spouting their empty rhetoric, the message will become louder, clearer, and much harder to stifle.
Let's all keep up the good fight and see this to it's logical conclusion - WINNING THIS ELECTION ! ! !
POTUS' 08 RON PAUL - Let's make it happen!

Thank you for great insight. I will keep donating money.
THANK YOU
Ahh some sensible comments in a sea of craziness, absolutely the field is going to shrink. THAT IS WHY THEY HAVE STEPPED UP THE VICIOUS ATTACKS ON RON he has the money and a ticked off motivated base. Rudy, Fred and the Donut are done, what's more is the vote fraud and free media (it ain't free believe me) is all that is keeping Johnny and Mikey going, only Mitt and Ron have cash with McCain and Huckabee very cash strapped. This is just the beginning people Ron is in this thing!!!
There are many more offensive candidates than....
Duncan Hunter..We do want them to side with us in the end, especially since he is the only other non-CFR bound candidate running on the Republican ticket. No need to single him out for name-calling. Otherwise, I agree wholeheartedly- the field narrowing benefits us, especially if Huckabee gets out.
But that man should play the tyrant over God, and find Him a better man than himself, is astonishing drama indeed!~~D. Sayers

With our dedication and our continued donations and by recruiting new people and getting them to join the money bombs Ron Paul shall have the cash to pound out victorys in February.
Even Hillary has spent most of her 100 million dollars that she has raised.
Many donation by many supporters is fueling this campaign. We have the eastern establishment very afraid of Ron Paul and his ARMY OF SUPPORTERS spread all across the country.
New supporters shall see what we see in Ron Paul and they are going to join this campaign with cash and work and we will win!!!
We can ride this campaign to a victory in November. As the young lady on one of those videos that many of us have seen on you tube
" "WE CAN WIN IF WE THINK WE CAN" "
I am sure she got that statement from that famous book "Think and Grow Rich" WRITTEN BY THE FAMOUS AUTHOR "NAPOLEON HILL".
By following the advice in that book we can and we shall win!!!
Liberty is our campaigns gift to the world it is our manifest destiny.
Freedom is a movement who's time has come. Our campaign will lead world wide freedom.
