It has always been understood that Ron Paul supporters could not be counted to be involved with the heavy lifting required to remove Obama from office.
Oh, now that's pretty funny right there ....
considering the fact that Dr. Paul's supporters are the only ones out of all the candidates (besides Mitt Romney's - who were bought and paid for with Wall Street money) to put together and field a nationwide political organization ....
This was done largely as an
unpaid grassroots effort ....
While you and your brethren were busy navel-gazing and hemming and hawing for at least the last 12 months, waiting to see who everyone else was going to support ....
so you could determine who you should support .... the Ron Paul supporters had already put boots on the ground prior and were in the process of building a nationwide organization ....
To address only two of the more recent wanna-be's: Santorum and Gingrich couldn't even manage to get ballot access in anything close to all 50 states ....
and Gingrich, currently sitting with $4.5 million in campaign debt, has just bounced a $500 filing fee check to the State Elections Office in Utah ....
Mebbe Calista should hit the pawnshops with some of that Tiffany gear to cover ?
No, what you really want is some sort mindless march in lockstep with "the party" ....
no matter who the candidate is ....
What a collectivist load of crapola ....
I suspect if ol' Karl Marx himself was the GOP candidate you'd be squealing about how people oughta jump in line to support him ....
Their "let it all burn down" approach to campaigns and governing is the primary reason Paul's camp is viewed as a marginalized fringe element.
BWAHAHAHA ....
Surely you aren't suggesting that Dr. Paul's strict Constitutionalism and fiscal austerity is the thing that could or would possibly be responsible for "letting it all burn down" ?
No, I think it is the lemming mindset and "groupthink" of
"the party at any and all costs" that has delivered
that as a reality for our nation ....
I understand that the "support" for Romney as the eventual nominee is
wide .... but tell me: how
deep do you think it is ?
Is it
strong and
committed ....
or is it shallow and weak ?
So, they shall remain on the sidelines.
ROTFLMAO ....
Sidelines ?
Put this in your pipe and smoke it (Dave, you might want to watch this one):
.... giving Paul the state's entire delegation ?
Oh no mercy me ! .... say it ain't so !
The plain fact of the matter is, is that it is substantial numbers of (fairweather) "supporters" who have "remained on the sidelines" ....
have failed to make it happen for Rick S, Newt, Herman, Tim, John, Michelle, and Rick P ....
My candidate is still in the race .... how
many of yours have dropped out ?
.... have you even decided
who you are going to support ?
On the sidelines thing, you can tell it to AJ Spiker - the new State GOP Chairman of Iowa ....
a Ron Paul supporter ....
Tell it to Brent Stafford, a Ron Paul supporter .... who was elected permanent caucus chairman in St. Charles, MO ....
over the State GOP Chair ....
Tell it to the new Clark County Nevada Republican Central Committee Executive Board ....
Ron Paul supporters all ....

Paul supporters seize control of Clark County GOP - News - ReviewJournal.com
Tell it to the 50 or so national candidates .... and the 200 or so state and local candidates ....
who are Ron Paul supporters ....
And speaking of supporters remaining on the sidelines, scope this out:
....
paid sign wavers .... what the .... ?
Yup .... real strong showing there ....
just what is needed to fire up the GOP membership and GOTV ....
BTW - have ya seen the new Rasmussen Poll ?
Dr. Paul beats Obama when matched up, head to head with Obama .... Romney only
