Alone Against Tomorrow

For those of us that joined the party just for RP I say to you, DO NOT GIVE UP SO EASY. I have never been active in politics before this year. I became a precinct committeeman, now have been elected a state delegate, and NATIONAL delegate. In my county we have 50% RP supporters going to the state convention, and ALL NATIONAL delegates going. IF we keep this kind of determination over the next 4 years, WE will BE the republican party. It is so easy to take control I have a hard time even telling you about it.

Instead of giving up, which is exactly what the neocons want you to do, stand and help take over the party. Ron Paul is right, the fastest way to WIN is a complete takeover of the republican party. They already have everything in place to win elections AND we get on the ballot automatically. I'm glad to see the libertarian party gaining strength, but just look at the real numbers, it took me and a few like minded new friends to almost completely take over the republican party in our county, just thing where we'll be in 4 years.

I really love this thread. Everything you said is what I have been thinking lately. It's like a kind of helplessness has settled upon me. After the September national convention I will change my voter registration card back to Independent. I believe that many people will do the same and we can at least send some sort of message to the Republican Party.

I can't entirely explain this helplessness. Ron Paul's new book is better than my words can express. Last Sat. at the district convention I was elected to a spot on the platform committee going to the state convention. That's good..... The problem is the way we were treated by our fellow republicans at the convention. The other problem is an email our Gop membership received from another republican in a leadership role about us. Of course I put him in his place. And some other republicans tried to as well. But it kind of just sickens me. The email was so bad that maybe it was intended to be.

I'm also thinking no other candidate will ever be good enough in future elections. Today I listened to the libertarian candidate Wayne Root make negative comments about our beloved Dr. I won't let that stand.

Now I'm struggling with the whole third party thing. Libertarian philosophy is what I have been researching lately, although I am strongly pro life. (BTW, Ron Paul as usual writes eloquently about the rights of the unborn in his new book.)

Also the whole polygamy thing..... While I can understand the libertarian freedom/coercion philosophy, it comes across on many polygamy forum topics here, that libertarians seem to promote this lifestyle. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe it is just some who do.

Sorry for the negativity. I'm normally very positive. Maybe Pennsylvania will surprise us ........

And those authoritarian blue haired old ladies ?

One thing that might happen tomorrow - RP republicans will gain seats, maybe a lot, on the republican county committees, which are elected. tomorrow is our first crack at the local positions, and I'm anxious to see what happens. All the low hanging fruit will be ours because we are paying attention. Then the fun begins.
