Once diehards are snapping like peanut brittle
Submitted by djskiefer on Fri, 09/05/2008 - 06:16
I logged onto facebook for the first time for several months, and I am appalled by the number of once diehard Ron Paul supporters now snapping like peanut brittle. These are some status messgaes I see:
******* believes you can save America from being taxed into oblivion: Vote McCain/Palin '08.
*******watched the RNC, and may change her vote from Bob Barr 2 John McCain!
*******has decided to vote for Obama...
I swear these are people who campaigned for Ron Paul not too long ago!
Now I see how worthy of respect Ron Paul is, to have voted his conscious for so many years.
People: The lesser of two evils is STILL EVIL!
Carve Ron Paul into the Diebold machines!
Or at least vote for Barr or Baldwin for Pete's sake!

I'm on facebook.... I
I'm on facebook.... I actually just posted a note refusing to vote for either major party and detailed the fascist actions taken at the RNC. I'm Ron Paul for life.
Facebook Status
I changed mine last night to read "Thinks McBama has nothing to offer and that everybody should vote 3rd party."
I'm hoping my FB friends take notice.
If it's meant to be it's up to WE!
MMMM
Peanut Brittle....

You mistake frustration and anger..
for 'giving up' or 'giving in'.
I don't believe that to be accurate. Sure, I'm bummed. Depressed actually. I recognize the signs in myself. However, I'm not tossing out my beliefs and principles because we got screwed during the RNC.
I mean, what did anyone expect? Fair play?
I too would have liked to see Dr. Paul walk away with the nomination but we all knew it wouldn't happen. At least the realists. I had my hopes, but deep down I knew I'd be depressed post-RNC.
So now, we mend our wounds, wipe the dirt off and get back out onto the field of battle. Just another page on the calendar. Just another day.
Christ, if it was that easy to beat us, they wouldn't be so worried.
I may not know the truth, but I know when I'm being lied to...

Thank you for posting this. Well stated.

These aren't diehards
Diehards continue support and working for the cause after all seems "lost," people like you and me. We're diehards, they aren't. We need to knock them around a bit with our long stick of Rationale, and their bleeting selves will eventually come back into the fold. Persistence, optimism, and the occasional bitch-slap should do the trick. :)
For liberty!! *gong*
For Liberty!! *GONG*
Carve Ron Paul into the Diebold machines! I like that
sentiment. It would get noticed. :)

Two out of the five young people who changed their voter registration to R and walked over to vote for the Doc with me in the primary are voting for Obama and the other three will vote LP at this point. We talk all the time about it and maybe I'll be able to show the O supporters something that will make the difference...
There are many 'former' RP supporters who are now more liberty-oriented than they were, no matter who they vote for this time. It can be a gradual education process. It can take years of study to become a full-blown libertarian, willing to vote on principal and not for the lesser evil or against another.

ONWARD!
Diamonds are'nt rare.
The diamond thing is another scam. They are portrayed to be rare by they diamond cartel. If you knew how many children were mamed and killed in that business you would never wear a diamond again. Sorry I get it is a saying but not a good one. Do'nt buy diamonds. If you are getting engage there are truly more beautiful and valuable stones. True love does'nt need to be bought anyway. Look into the whole diamond business is evil. Alexanderite is very rare. Sorry kind of off topic but an issue that is of concern or should be.
Uh..yeah, just a saying...but..
perhaps you'll approve of this?
true friends are like Ron Paul
precious, but rare
Can't argue that one! ;)

We have a lot to do between now and November
My plans are to now research all the incumbents on the ballot in Oklahoma. I have to look at how they have voted on every issue since they have been in their respective office, contact them and ask what their platform is. Then have to research their challengers for their viewpoints and platforms. Next step will be to notify each one as to why I am or am not voting for them and help campaign for those I support. Any one in Oklahoma that would like to help me with research please contact me through personal message here on the DP.
I hope that other people will do this in their states!
already been
d-u-n...done. LOL
well would you share your
well would you share your info with me, please?
what?

These people were not ever 'diehards' or anything less than a flag blowing in the wind.

As unimaginable as it is to me that anyone who has had the light of liberty switch on in their brain can have it turned off, it is my opinion that the people who say such things are merely infiltrators, and were never supporters. If they were, they could never go back.

What "kind" of Vote to you have in your State?
No matter what kind it is, "Don't sweat the vote". Seriously, don't sweat it one drop.
DON'T SWEAT THE VOTE. We in the R3VOLution are here to stay and we have our eyes now on 2012, don't you?
Everyone has heard Dr Paul's message by now, and so, give them the Liberty to make the "Lessor of Two Evils choice" or "the devils choice". Don't worry, they will get a bad case of "Voters Remorse" soon enough.
Further, if I was living in a "swing state" like Ohio or Florida or California where the vote is supposed to be very close, I would have whats called a "Swing Vote".
What would I do with a "Swing Vote"?
I would probably vote OBAMA.
Why? Because in 4 years I would like to have Jesse Ventura (or whom ever we in the R3VOLution choose) go against "President Obama" rather than have to go up against a "President McCain".
Make sense?
The idea is simple enough, "vote now who you would rather be fighting in 4 years". Further, many of us are now getting deep inside the Republican Party, thus we are enjoying the use of those tools, the Voter Vaults that provide mailing lists, names and addresses. The out of power Republicans will warm up to our message, ...just to win. With a big name like Ventura constantly in the news and on the air, and on TV, the Papers, etc, Mittens and Huckleberry will fade out of favor.
I am in Arizona, so McCain looks to have a large margin, not a "swing state".
So now my vote becomes a "Protest Vote".
As a "Protest Vote", I will vote Barr/Root.... Or maybe NOT. Maybe I will have something much better to do that day, like cut the grass and take out the trash. Perhaps my son has a football game that day. Or perhaps a fellow Patriot in Iowa needs one hundred "Ventura/Johnson 2012" flyers & signs and I have nothing better to do but go to my garage, crank up the music and bang some out some Ventura 2012 signs. Or I might have fun overlaying a cool sound track of A Allen and Vaughn to some of Ventura and Johnson's best political statements and post it up on YouTube. What ever I do that day, I know this, I will be having fun.
Who knows what we will do that day, but DO NOT ...."Sweat the Vote".
Seriously, Don't sweat the vote.
The R3VOLution Lives on, and so the Vote is meaningless to you and me. The VOTE means zero, the R3VOLution continues to the battleground, 2012. And that 2012 battle will be fought and won in the next 4 years in 3 key States. If you live elsewhere, you should make regular trips to these 3 States over the next 4 years. Sweat that, but don't sweat the Vote.
Now is the time to get Jesse Ventura & Governor Gary Johnson SUPER POPULAR in 3 key states, Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina. Crazy as it sounds, "Name Recognition" is the name of the game. That was the 100lb ball around Dr. Paul's campaign, "low name recognition". The Media had a field day with Rudy Giuliani, Fred Thompson, and John McCain, giving them millions and millions of dollars worth of Free Exposure. Then Polling ensued, which Surprise Surprise, guess who was the "front runners"? Other contenders like Tancredo, Huckabee, and Dr Paul, had to get their supporters to fight hard to break that "media glass ceiling".
So our job is simple really. Over the next 4 years, as events unfold, we will use Open Eds, Signs, flyers, TV interviews, TV programs, radio shows, YouTube videos, etc to achieve massive NAME RECOGNITION. Believe it or not, Ventura is through the "Glass Ceiling", but its up to us to Keep Him There, KEEP HIM RELEVANT. He is our voice for the R3VOLution going into 2012. We must be highly focused upon these 3 states. The R3VOLution must berry in deep inside of these 3 States. That is where the Fun & Sweat Will Come From.
But don't Sweat the Vote.
Most of all remember this, ...."If you are not having FUN, you are not doing it right".
In Peace & Liberty,
Treg
Treg, I respect you greatly ...
you are high up on my dailypaul totum pole.
I too have said more than once that a vote for Obama could be a good thing and we all have our roles here. So pick your roles and do what is necessary.
Having said that ...
Ron Paul would not place a stratigic vote. Barr, however, did. Actions and words have meaning. This is very important.
As for me ...
I can not vote for someone that is against my ideals. I can not vote for Obama. You are a much more practicle person and this argument has merit. I just can not do this.
I will write in Ron Paul and my vote will not be counted in Ohio due to current Ohio election laws.
That is it.

People don't understand
that one is as good or bad as the other because they come from the same cesspool. They are so afraid of taxes or wars so they vote for one or the other. Yes, so many of the Ron Paul supporters have gone back into their holes with their remotes and are voting with the rest of the sheep.
Doing the right thing is often a lonely business.

Once you go Ron Paul...
You don't go back.
The media knows how to play tricks with our mind.
Even as hard core as I am, the fact that the media controls what we hear and the fact that most people don't wanna wake up...
It's hard sometimes.
But it's Ron Paul for life!!!
The slogan press on has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race. No person was ever honored for what he received. Honor has been the reward for what he gave.

Carve Ron Paul into the Diebold machines!
Best idea yet... and it gave me a smile just thinkin' about it... thanks djskiefer.
they never really cared
they never really cared about freedom
Yes, I was shocked
to see a few weeks ago this youtuber who supported Pat Buchanan and Ron Paul, switching to John McCain and making videos for him, mostly an anti-Obama thing. (As a Protestant, I have a problem with his "extra ecclesiam nulla salus).

I suppose there will be a few, but they will only be the minority. Some conservatives who may have been looking at Dr. Paul, are probably inclined to vote for McCain based on the Palin factor. This is one reason Dr. Paul should stay - for now - in the GOP, for these people (sheep) will follow Dr. Paul once they are dissatisfied again.
Palin has some problems:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Tc7BF_Fd7I
One has to see how she would develop and react. If McCain-Palin wins, do not think Palin will have much of an influence on McCain.
Go for Dr. Paul and gov. Gary Johnson.
dont be fooled
it is just their latest attack... mind games
it won´t work...

Some people sway in the wind like blades of grass....here now, there later..which is ok..at least you know on whom you can count.
These 'emotional' ones are the very ones that should keep us doing things like rallies, and marches...'bread and circuses'...it doesn't matter a great deal this presidential election...but it will next time around.
Well, you won't
find me voting for those warmongers. Peace
