Think about how many battles George Washington lost before he won in the end.

Internet campaigning calls for new technology and more importantly, new ways of thinking about how to use it. We are on the cutting front of the future both politically and technologically which is much exciting than fighting from the rear.

While it takes a while to figure it all out, I stll believe the issues at hand are worth fighting for. Just think about how much more aware we are now of the critical issues.

A lot of unexpected things will happen between now and the convention but, as Tiger Woods would say, you have to put yourself in a position to win.

Well, No Offense To You RALPHWALDO BUT George Washington having lost a lot of battles or quoting Tiger Woods gives me very little comfort in what has been happening to us in this Presidential Campaign effort. While it does take some time to figure things out and you’re right about that we should have learned our lessons long ago, figured out that the media (most all of them) are biased, figured out how the otherside plays the game (voting fraud and so forth). This media bias, considering how important a role the media actually plays in today time vs. George Washington’s time, is super-duper important. The other side figured that out waaaay before any of us and they have been ‘using it’ quite effectively. And not only when it comes to picking a Presidential Candidate, other things as well. But I won’t go down that road of other things and confuse the issue here with anybody.

I do want to end on a note that says believe what you wish when it comes to the ‘unexpected’ things that may happen (you said will, didn’t you) but you should understand that hardly anything is left up to chance here in this game we stand and watch and pretend we have some control over. It’s far too important for allowing chance to dictate results. There is the matter of the mind to consider, a little game of its own commonly known as PsyOps that has guided all of us, continues to guide us, to educate us, inform us, influenced us even without our awareness of being influenced at times the mass media are very skilled at this art // they can make people do and believe basically anything they wish just by being there in our mind 24/7. If you don’t know what I’m talking about (any one of you out there, I[m speaking to right now) all I can say is you should know. Check into it.

Jerry, so what exactly is your point? I’ve read 2 replies from you now and you’ve complained in great detail about the MSM bias and how WE didn’t get it. Honestly, MOST of us got it, but we mistakenly thought we could break through it if we cause newsworthy events to happen. We were right on that front, but wrong on how we thought it would effect the race. There are still some here who are pushing efforts to try to get media attention and I simply won’t participate because I’ve realize that this is not how were’ going to make an impact. It sounds to me like you’re pretty much resolved to giving up. Am I wrong?

If I’m not, then have a good life man. No ill will. Just leave and do your thing.

If I am, then what exactly is YOUR vision of how we can make a difference? I have mine, and will be working towards it._

SCANNER313, One More Thing On This. I didn’t see this reply (post) from you at the time I was replying to another of your post—but since you asked me a question (what is my point?) thought I’d carry this a step more.

Listen, man, I really don’t want to come across as A COMPLAINER—I’m a supporter of RON PAUL’s that’s what I am. I want him as our President. Let me say that again so there can be no misunderstandings: I want RON PAUL as our next President.

I responded to a video that started this thread and as I tried to say (but do have a tendency to get lost in thought) my thoughts while watching that video from HQ seemed to be wrongfully placing the burden of RON PAUL becoming our next President back entirely upon our shoulders and that didn’t seem quite right to me. Of course we all have a responsibility to do our best in this endeavor that’s a give. Saying that, I got to thinking about the other side (the MCCAIN, the OBAMA side) who according to the numbers being reported back to all of us—are winning in this race. Hey, I don’t like that at all. None of us here in the RON PAUL forum should be happy with that and I’m sure we’re not.

But like the video asked, do more, do all you can, keep it going—I’m not saying that’s wrong, I’m just trying to figure out why all of our efforts so far as outstanding as they have surely been have not pushed us to the very front of the line and kept us all there. I mean RON PAUL’s message, his issues, are far superior in common sense and logic than any of those others wanting to become President. So what gives here? We’ve recruited large numbers no question about that; and the video asks we continue in this vein which we rightfully should. But something is dearly wrong BECAUSE those others with far less truth on their side are winning. One more time something (??) isn’t right here.

I know it’s the MSM—but it’s more, it’s far more than a simple finger point. They have a major big time influence, no doubt about that. And that should work equally in our favor; considering back to that super-duper message of RON PAUL’s. And yes we all know the MSM hasn’t been fair in this and that is partially my point, finally.

The ones controlling this election campaign, the ones telling us to continue, the ones asking for support, the ones asking for $$ from us—Hey, they are there for a reason are they not? But shouldn’t they be doing more? Yes they should be doing exactly those things BUT seems to me that in view of my own awareness of how MSM has been a complete ‘dick’ in this fairness/unfairness process then the HQ should be voicing my (all of ours) concerns in this regard. Who else is there that can do this? Certainly not me, certainly not you. They’re at the top, they see more than any one of us do (or can) and yet WE are being asked to continue business as usual and that business as usual has in fact been outstanding support but it hasn’t gotten us anywhere close to the front of that line. We should be right there standing as NUMBER ONE and would be if the HQ had screamed FOUL the moment this bias began.

Is it too late? I honestly don’t know.

The other side seems to put forth very little effort. Maybe I can’t see what they are actually facing, but to think they are working harder than our group—I just can’t believe that. And yet look at the results so far to-date.

Now if that is complaining, I’m sorry for it I intended it to be expressing concern and trying to find the way out of this unfair treatment we have received. It’s the unfair part that has kept us from the front, no doubt and yet we continue to be encouraged to do business as usual. I’m afraid they (the HQ) are doing that as well and that part yes maybe I am complaining about to some degree. I have no constructive criticism other than to suggest that those with the responsibility and clout STOP TAKING THIS ABUSE and start an attack of our own. Doesn’t mean violence, I’m not suggesting that, it means START LOOKING AT WHAT IS CAUSING US ‘NOT’ TO WIN // We already know how to win.

Frustration, disappointment, concern – that’s my feelings. And somewhere in all that, I was trying to express my point. Smile ;-)
