It's time to grow up. (don't click here, let it die)

I know this post was not meant to be negative. I am 100% on board with those that want to continue freedom and liberty, elect political officials who convey Ron's message, etc. But I didnt even vote yet. For those who didnt vote yet, posts like these bring us, well atleast me, down. If this was posted in September after the convention, I would bump this post, but lets atleast wait until somehting happens. And we have a final answer. I know Ron Paul isn't going to be THE ONE who changes this country( he'll need his cronies), but if elected, he will wake up the American public.. Also, I think the reason why Ron advertised so much better in Texas is because he doesn't want to lose his day job, which is totally understandable. I will continue to fight for Ron as the PA primary approaches...Let's show everyone that we aren't crazy Paulites, and carry at this message until is delivered.

and it will continue long after November. We must stay united regardless of the outcome.

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

"The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy...You have to understand most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inert so hopelessly dependent on the system that they will fight to protect it." -- Morpheus

I will be more gracious than to call you a troll, but frankly this line of criticism that I see here ever couple days - which attempts to disassociate the Man from the movement and the message is at least a little upsetting.
It's often implied that Ron Paul has done his part and now the movement has begun, it's our job to carry the message... etc... And while I agree that we are indeed the future of the movement, I think all of us owe a great deal to Ron Paul -
it's inconceivable to me that most of us have literally had our lives and minds and hearts transformed because of this man - and yet we can imply that Ron Paul is a thing of the past.

Statements that seem to suggest that Ron Paul was never in it to win, have the flipside of implying that he lied to the country. You might not think so, but that's what it suggests. And therefore I'll disagree.

And to suggest that those of us who disagree need to "grow up" - well, remaining as a fervent supporter of Ron Paul until November and beyond is a matter of principle and loyalty, not immaturity. Rather, the sign of immaturity are all those fair-weather fans, that just criticize and criticize and never offer anything constructive nor are they themselves productive.

Yes, indeed, we're part of a larger movement... But I came into this movement thru Ron Paul. I decided in September of last year that I support him, and he is still in the race, so he's still my candidate. I will not support nor vote for Hillary, Obama, Huckabee, McCain, or Nader. When I became a supporter of Ron Paul I disavowed my inclination to vote for least-evil or most-popular. I embrace the idea of voting on principle. I supported Ron on principle and will continue to support him on principle.

Finally, it's not just the message and movement. The message is made beautiful and the movement has credibility because of the Man. My life is not attractive nor worthy of this great message of freedom and virtue. The message is attractive because of the messenger. A rougue and scoundrel could have carried the same message and turned off many people - A buffoon could have led the movement and destroyed it long ago. Give Ron Paul some more credit than that.

So I'm sorry, but I don't agree with you.

Ron Paul has the message and is the leader we need,...but his presidential campaign has/and is being run by a bunch of smucks!

Did you all see the first couple of TV ads the "official" campaign produced?? ...I thought it was a joke when I saw them, many of you did as well. Then to hear the news yesterday that Kent Synder the campaign manager is making $48,000 a month! i mean, thats total bullshit for a grassroots campaign, that guy is scum. what a great campaign he has run so far, lets see...advising to NOT challenge the New Hampshire recount,....we lost have of our momentum right there form that alone.

Makes me think if his campaign has been infilltrated and is being purposefully run against Ron Pauls best interests.

we all need to think about that, because thats sure what it looks like is happening

troll
been gone for awhile huh?about a week wheres noelle and slapshot and the many others?long time since we have been under attack,what happened you privates thought you had beat RPR and then started to and were probably yelled at by your superiors that the RON PAUL REVOLUTION is alive as ever and not going anywhere watch now we get new names to replace the dozen or so trolls that magically disappeared last week or they will just play more games with themselves and they also probably think its working!LOLLOLLOLLOL!!!good LUCK wit dat!

just today we got an email from the state campaign manager about going thru the delegate process NOT to be delegates but to get our planks in. their email made sure to kill any last hope i had for ron paul.

im on to supporting the movement. the, we the people, movement.

E Pluribus Unum...

.....Out of many, one.

Inspiritation and motivation are what is needed in OUR REVOLUTION.

There is a lot of time from here to the convention. LOTS of local, national, and world events to come. McCain does NOT have enough pledged delegates to win in the first round of elections on the convention floor. We do not know what the conditions will be at that time. Thus, we can not count the Doc out. We do have a march coming and we do need MORE supporters. That IS A FACT. Whatever we can do to ATTRACT new interest is beneficial to the movement. We NEED Dr. Paul in this to the convention. Otherwise, we loose our voice COMPLETELY. Besides, WE are the Revolution and WE need a voice in that convention. Unless you feel like demonstrating in a free speech zone outside the convention.

Peace

That THETDK is a true Ron Paul supporter. I have examined a lot of his past posts and he is always on the fence, and trying to sow discord.

With all that we know, there is still a chance that Ron Paul could win.

We have "undecided" delegates.

We have an economy which will probably nose dive before the election.

We have Bush desparately trying to start a war with Iran.

All of these things give me hope that Ron Paul could win and restore the Republic.

A good friend of mine, told me that if Ron Paul wins, it will be because God interceded. And with all that I have seen thus far, I believe that God is helping the rEVOLution.

When was the last time there was a brokered convention? 50 years ago maybe.

Look at the competition. A phony preacher, and an "on the take" Senator with a shaky past.

If THETDK doesn't believe in Ron Paul then he should leave. Now is NOT the time to be trying to weaken the rEVOLution.

...is to abandon politics altogether. All government is immoral, and politics is the science of government. We need to realize that trying to gain control of the Mafia and bring it down from the inside is not going to happen.

As I think I posted yesterday, this thing isn't just for this year, this is our future we're talking about! We need to unite now and tomorrow. I've grown up quite a bit thanks to this campaign. OK, I haven't been involved in it directly but I promise that my compromise is with the message of freedom. It's taught me about principles and that we can disagree or agree with others but without forgetting our principles. We may or may not win this thing but I'm proud to be part of this quixotic quest for our freedom. As part of a family that has had a fighter ever since the American Revolution (and ended with my dad in Vietnam even though my cousin Tim was in the reserves during the Gulf War), I'm willing to do the same thing. I couldn't fight for my country at war but I'm definitely fighting this thing with the rest of you in spirit. Even though I haven't seen my country physically since '96, I'm willing to give my country it's freedom and respect it deserves back. I just hope after this quest we could be united forever. Dr. Paul has taught me many things and I finally have an opinion on my own now. Hopefully when I come back in about 4 years, I'll be there with each and one of you. PEACE & LOVE from Chile.

THANK YOU ALL

for caring so much about America.

I hope you can keep your enthusiasm about Peace, Freedom and Liberty for everyone.

I fear emptiness, or worse violence, will replace the movement when we don't get what we all are fighting so hard for.

Some will never give up. You are the core. Please don't let it fade away.

Thank you. Really.

You F__king Troll. Leave us now and cancel your account. You better hope I never see you on the street you mutha!

Why don't you just stick a finger in the air and find out which way the political wind is blowing, and vote for that person. As for me, I will never waste my vote on any Tax and Spend Neocon or Liberal. When the going gets tough, the tough get going. What the F__K are you doing on the website!

of the most dynamic, dramatic, world altering changes [no not Obama blah blah changes], in economic, political, weather, scandal and hidden agenda revelations probably in the history of our world, and everyone wants to jump the gun to what is possible and what Ron Paul is going to do. Can you not have enough faith to see where the changes takes us on a day to day basis, before making a conclusion to what his intentions are if you really are a supporter? Do you think a man of his ideals just came along at this time as a random accident ? To use your terms, to grow up may mean to use reason and not overreact.

what they have learned during this campaign just because we got screwed out of it. Focus your energies on spreading the message, and try to keep in mind that without Ron Paul, this whole movement (including this website) would have been a non-starter.

Now let's cut this crap out and get our guy elected!!!!

'Live for yourself, there's no one else more worth living for,
Begging hands and bleeding hearts
Will only cry out for more...'

i dont care whatyou want to do just dont try to drag evryone else down with you .its not over till its over got it! i'm in it all the way to at least make a statement. what did you expect us to do? hold your hand as we all jump off the bridge together? not! our movement will grow, but it wont be overnight. so why dont you grow up. i'm sick of this negative pissing and whining.

Hi All,

Last night I attended the Adams county assembly here in Brighton, CO. My plan was to ride this thing all the way to Minneapolis and get my vote in for Dr. Paul.

I was so ashamed of what I heard at the assembly, I simply cannot subject myself to that amount of dishonesty, religious arrogance, and outright ignorance. The republican party spouts supporting the constitution, limiting government, and balancing the budget. All I saw and heard was "rah, rah, rah, win the war" and meaningless finger pointing at the terrible democrats who spend all our country's money. Not a single comment about how the constitution has been wreaked over the last seven years, how the middle class got sold out by wall street gangsters, or how the so-called "repubs" have destroyed our economy and currency.

Have these people never heard that Iraq had nothing to do with Al Qaeda? Have they never heard or read the Downing Street memos? This war is a sham. We're killing hundreds of thousands of innocent people and these people were jumping up and down like they enjoyed blood on their shirts. My God, I was so appalled.

I called my district captain and told him I could not continue associating with these people. I am nauseated, and ashamed to be seen with them.
I would love to see a Dr. Paul miracle, but it will have to happen without me.

All the best to all of you,
Ken Hampshire
