MediaBlunders
Members,
So I have as of this morning already gotten at least 2 complaints about what
I understand is a recent post on the National LP Facebook page . While I
absolutely do not support Rand..and I think the Paul's staff is less
desirable than a rock sandwich, Ron Paul has done a lot to promote
libertarianism. Many of us would not be here if it were not for him. To
equate, the Paul's with the Clinton's and Bush's is misguided at best. One
of the people that complained is from my own local executive committee and
he had planned to become a national dues paying member and has specifically
stated he will not be doing so now. In fact that was what he specifically
contacted me this morning to say because of this. It's the bad judgement
calls that people controlling our social media continue to make that is
significantly hampering our ability to recruit. And at the very least it
cost us $25.but I have a feeling it cost us a lot more than that. I am
sure there are some that maybe like this..but this is such a clear net loser
for us.I just have to scratch my head at what people were thinking. I have
the original "picture" and also a picture one of the people that complained
to me posted. We just can't get out of our own way..I realize someone will
alway be unhappy, but there are some things that just are so clearly bad,
but we did them anyway.
