This Daily Paul is for electing Ron Paul President

BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU THINK IT'S FOR COMPLAINING ABOUT THE WAY OTHER RON PAUL SUPPORTERS USE DAILYPAUL. HMM, WHO'S RIGHT?

i got a question about how i could submit some information i have on a say pun du word on a specific builder dorfer berger meeting that was supposedly held and i was wondering if these pdf's were public and active with link according all the secrecy. either way i was wondering if neone else knew of these archive of pdf forum series yearly things and if not who should i forward them to as i should.on data of course. solid media.

… nothing spectacular, just the average type of post that one would expect on this site. But one thing surprising is that I could not find one post of the type that you describe above as being important to getting Ron Paul elected. I know you may have thought that they were important at the time, but to me they were just typical posts that we all enjoy reading for the most part. Until this post, you seemed to be just like all of the rest of us Paulites. Now all of a sudden you're special? Perhaps you should take a more humble stance, considering.

Bedr1, I agree with you completely and will do my best to take a step back before posting. I am afraid we all had too much time on our hands today and many will regret some of the replys they posted in haste. After reading all of them todate, I just wanted to let you know some of us do see where you are coming from and we are on board.
Blessings, I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and will have a RON PAUL new year.

WAY TO PREACH, SCROLL DOWN TO HAWKIYE FOR MY VIEWS PRECISELY, YESYES SOMEONE GETS IT

With Christmas cheer!

and a smile.

It is christmas and we are bored paulaholics. I'm not going out canvasing today. l.o.l..

I expect things will get back to "normal" (in the libertarian sense) in a few days.

You have been working too hard !

Don't sweat it. The work is getting done. The word is spreading, even though some of the folks around here are just spinning their wheels or letting off steam.

Be present, tread softly, breath deeply, be peaceful, be patient, and encourage others AND >> Vote for Ron Paul for President ! <<

… This site is a delightful mix of all sorts of Ron Paul topics that I find quite enjoyable and thought provoking. This site is so popular that it has outgrown three server upgrades (I think it's three), That simply means that people (like me) like it just the way it is. So, I would respectfully suggest that if you want to get your panties in a bunch and start dictating subject matter, to please start your own site.

Everything that you have suggested in your post is already being discussed here whenever anyone has something interesting to report. As for a lot of it, it's just a big happy Ron Paul get together. Ron Paul always wants to know if we are having fun with the revolution. I am, and the Daily Paul is a great place to hang out with friends and chat. Personally, I like most of the posts. Even your post has merit…Really.

I am not against some moderation if necessary but the I think the self appointed thread police who get on here and whine about anything that is less the glowing in their opinion about Ron cause more division then anything else.

It seems there is an over abundance of people who think everything has to be there way and they are determined to harp on it until they get there way. So what if things diverge off topic somewhat. They're scared to death somebody will do something that will get some media attention and make Dr. Paul look bad. Wake up folks they are manufacturing it. That kind of fear is no different then saying we have to give up freedom for security as the neocons preach.

Well if we can't win this campaign using maximum freedom and we can't weather a few storms rather then try and censor everything we think might be portrayed in a less then positive light then it simply is not worth it.

Take the 9/11 truthers for example ( I am not one but do have questions) why do we let the media frame the topic as anyone who questions discrepancies is a kook? What's wrong with asking questions and being suspicious when the government won't release evidence that supposedly backs their story? So instead of calling BS we let them characterize it as a anyone who doesn't go along with the official story is bunch of kooks.

Now I am just using that as an example I agree now is not the time to argue that point. Now is the time to get Dr. Paul elected but for pete sake lets stop eating our own and quite walking on eggshells every time someone says something that could be construed as less the positive. The trolls are having a field day every time they post something controversial. The best thing you can do is ignore a thread if you think it's bad instead of 40 people jumping on it and whining about it.

Have seen a couple of your posts tonight, my sentiments exactly on all of them. It's discouraging to be met with negativity when all you want to do is learn more. My enthusiasm has slipped a bit, hopefully it will pick back up.

You forgot that an IMPORTANT part of getting him elected is making sure people, who do not know him that well, understand his positions on various issues. Answering their questions on his positions IS part of getting him elected. If someone asks you about your candidates positions and you say "go look it up somewhere else". This is not a wise thing to do and certainly does not help the campaign but rather, does just the opposite.

then we need to be informed.

I agree that there are posts that don't necessarily help the campaign, but I don't think it's wrong to ask valid questions. We should know as much about Dr. Paul as possible so we can talk intelligently with others. Since this site is growing there are going to be a lot of newbies coming here with questions. Are you suggesting that we should flag their posts?

Today I looked everywhere to find info about Ron Paul's position on evolution. It's not on his website or in the dailypaul archives. The reason I wanted to know is because there were people slamming him on other forums on this issue and I wanted to respond. I couldn't do it because I wasn't sure what his stance was.

Posts like yours make it feel like dailypaul is a private surf beach and you are the beach patrol.

Instead of saying that only certain types of posts are valid, why don't we change the way we respond to things we don't like? If you don't like a post you can either ignore it, or If you think it is harmful, flag it.
If the poster is just asking a simple question that has already been raised then politely direct them to the proper source for information.

thanks and merry christmas.

I very much agree with: "What people need to know are what kind of campaigning did you do" was it successful, what events are you holding, information on ballot access, etc. Other good things like polls, news, and videos. "

And also that it is a shame that really important information disappears from the site in a few minutes. I suggest that "Active forum topics" is split into the following two sections "Active discussions" and "Where can I help"."Where can I help" should be a little more permanent and maybe without comments.

I also agree that we should spend more time on helping the campaign.

And that we should always be positive and respectful.

Things have changed in the last week, disruptive threads started be new members (1hr or less) Post such as "Should we carry weapons to RP rallys" I could just see the headline "Police arrest Ron Paul supporters on weapons charges " There have been an unusal number of threads on RP's views on religion, evolution, and the $500 issue. Why the increase of these non-relevant posts? These post are usually titled in the negative. I think some of these posters have their own agenda,and its not Ron Paul.

been to the RonPaul2008 website, I've watched EVERY youtube video, hundreds and hundreds, I have questions that are not covered. This site has the most familiar supporters of his positions, I thought. Forgive me, I must be mistaken.

Don't call me lazy, I think you may be the lazy ones if you're not willing to allow valid questions and conversations. Let's just stick our heads in the sand and pretend everything is perfect.

...DOESN'T believe in evolution?

Cause I didn't really care before but now that you're telling me that it's a taboo topic, I'm kinda curious.

oh.. and as far as what I've done, since you've asked:

I went to NH last weekend with 20 friends and canvassed.
...same as we did a few weeks earlier
...and a few weeks before that
...and a few weeks before that
...and a few weeks before that
...and we will be going back next weekend (but with more like 30, not the usual 20 I bring)
...and most of us will be staying through to the primary.

I hope that's enough to buy me the right to ask whether or not Ron Paul believes in freakin evolution.

So... now pretty pretty please, if you could be so kinda as to tell me if you know:

Does Ron Paul believe in evolution?

Looks like you've annointed yourself "The Decider". I think that posting dirt about other candidates is just as counterproductive as any of the other nonsense. And in calling for a positive site, your post isn't positive.
Shouldn't the test be based primarily upon sincerity? If members have sincere questions about one of Dr. Paul's positions, where better to ask? And doesn't it serve the mission of getting Dr. Paul elected when some of his most avid supporters are deepening their understanding of the many issues surrounding his candidacy?
It looks like some members here are afraid of the sincere information-sharing and debate that blogs like this are made for.

Be happy to... I've spent thousands of dollars in time and donations, dozens of hours on street corners with my young sons waving signs, Hundreds of hours trying to convince people why RP is better than their candidate.... should i go on?

...!!!

us what they have done to get Dr. Paul elected.

in our quest to learn as much as possible about Ron Paul so that we can intelligently inform others on his platform, we should go elsewhere to find out? Seems like the most knowledgeable sources would be here, I find your assessment pretty disappointing.

AMEN!

It's kind of offensive. What if there were younger people on here, or what if I were an 80 year old voter who read that and thought "huh"? Just saying, you could think about rewriting that first sentence IMHO.

* Ron Paul For President *

I couldn't have said it better myself and the thing that upsets me the most is that some great posts die in less than 30 seconds when someone posts something that is negative or contraversial that stays up the entire day because people are trying to respond to the negative posts and defend Dr Paul or his positions. This is not about free speech, this is disruptive and with so little time left it hurts the campaign.

Ron Paul '08!
