Rabid, my desire is to grow the movement as I've repeatedly stated. 2ndly, you don't invite someone over your house and then one of your guests treats them like shit. Nothing against FTL of course, it's just unfortunate that the only thing on Jeff's mind at the time was the question (which he likely didn't mention to the call screener) asked... People have a natural reaction against supporting anyone who is perceived as being racist (and rightly so). Outside of the diehard supporters that knew better, the general public (who we were targeting since it was an open primary and same day voter reg) most likely got wind of the allegation and bailed. Rasmussen Research, a polling company known for it's accuracy, had RP slated for 13-18%. This would've at least put him in 3rd, which would've been a nice enhancement from the IA caucus. To say that it wouldn't have made a difference is a very simplistic way of looking at the situation. Up here, freestaters have differences in their personalities and a few other traits, but we put them aside usually so we can promote the cause of freedom. But, nitpicking someone at a crucial time in America's ever-increasing slide into full-blown statism is not very prudent. I'm sure there were differences between the Founding Fathers, but they didn't let the small things prevent the cause from being promoted. A Revolution is going to take more than just the ideologically pure, sorry. Moving on with my life is parallel with increasing the amount of freedom for myself and others.
