Since this poster is NOT stupid, it's apparent that he is attempting 
mis-direction to a 'bait&switch strawman'  (if busted, get folks to look 
elsewhere)  So class, pay attention!   :)

I'm sorry.  

I served as Ron Paul's Travel Aide in his 1988 Libertarian Party 
Presidential Campaign.  At that time Lenora Fulani was the "hottest" 
thing going around the 3rd party circuit.  Her New Alliance Party was 
the "up and commer" according to the liberal-biased media among 3rd 
parties.  Of course, they almost completely ignored the LP.  To give 
coverage to the Libertarian Party would make Republicans seem 
moderate and reasonable.  So, they splashed Fulani all over the front 
pages of the NY Times, and other papers, and almost completely 
ignored a United States Congressman running for President on a 3rd 
party ticket - Ron Paul.

What happened?

Ron ended up with 435,000 votes.

Fulani, less than half as much with 180,000.

If that's not extreme liberal media bias, I don't know what is.

But "NAP" is forever ingrained in my mind as New Alliance Party.  
And I'm sure I'm not the only one who conjures up those images in 
his/her mind when he/her hears that acronym either.  

If you all wish to pump up this stupid pledge of yours, you might be 
better off finding a new acronym.
