Nope, blatant false statement. Now you're making stuff up. Funny that you accuse others of lying when you are doing the same.
Not at all, money was still needed to continue operations so that Ron could acquire as many delegates as possible.
huh, lolwut?
You're free to believe what you want, regardless of facts.
I'm not making anything up, you have a clear history of defending the lying actions of the campaign and not answering legitimate questions, not me.
According to Doug Wead, and THE VERY ACTIONS of Ron Paul 2012, they agreed to help Mitt Romney win the nomination. It's why they attacked Rick Santorum in Michigan, helping MITT ROMNEY win the state. Instead of attacking Mitt Romney, helping Rick Santorum win the state which would have furthered the brokered convention idea.
Ron Paul 2012 ended with more than a million cash-on-hand, and still has more than a million cash-on-hand. Why the crap did Ron Paul need delegates? So he could throw them under Mitt Romney's bus with Rand's endorsement?!
Ron Paul needed delegates because? Because? The campaign actively gave away half the delegates in Louisiana making sure there was no brokered convention. So, after Ron Paul supporters WASTED...yes, WASTED...their time/money to become delegates, Jesse Benton and crew made sure they wouldn't be an issue at the convention so Rand could have a speech...that nobody even remembers or cares about? CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!
$40+ million dollars WASTED DOWN THE FREAKING DRAIN because of dishonest people in a "liberty campaign" helping Mitt Romney win the nomination. Now, are you still selling dinner tickets? I might want to buy a few hundred so I can learn to help ANOTHER candidate win the nomination, at the expense of MY SUPPORTERS.
Here's Doug Wead saying the campaign agreed to not attack Mitt Romney before/going into Michigan:
http://youtu.be/wbrUPtwIKuk?t=15m20s (Link starts where he talks about not attacking Romney, not sure if embed is/isn't working properly, not showing up right now on my side.
And my text from a post over 2 months ago shows why attacking Mitt Romney and helping Rick Santorum in a few states was very important IF the campaign was actually going for a brokered convention strategy:
"
Here are the vote totals for candidates that had won the popular votes in states up until the Michigan and Arizona vote on February 28th (not counting Iowa since it ended in basically a tie for Romney and Santorum):
Mitt Romney had won 4 primaries/caucuses (New Hampshire, Florida, Nevada, Maine).
Rick Santorum had won 3 primaries/caucuses (Colorado, Missouri, Minnesota).
Newt Gingrich had won 1 primary/caucus (South Carolina).
Ron Paul 0.
Again, this is not delegate counts, but the popular vote as reported by the media.
It should be noted here, that Ron Paul lost Maine, by 2% points. Ron Paul 2012 never ran a single attack ad against only Romney in the state, and it was Ron's first chance outside of Iowa to really upset the apple cart with the popular vote totals reported by the media. Ron Paul 2012 had already run attack ads against just Rick Perry, Newt Gingrich, and Rick Santorum, but NONE for just Romney.
Then, on February 28th, Mitt Romney won both Arizona and Michigan. Barely getting a victory over Rick Santorum in Michigan, by 3%, thanks in part to Ron Paul 2012 helping attack Rick Santorum with campaign funds running a TV attack ad against him.
With Romney winning both states on February 28th, that brought his total state victories to 6:
Romney - 6 states (New Hampshire, Florida, Nevada, Maine, Arizona, Michigan)
Santorum - 3 states (Colorado, Missouri, Minnesota)
Gingrich - 1 state (South Carolina)
Paul - 0 states
What was after that?
Wyoming's might have swung to Santorum, because he lost it only by 7% to Romney. Wyoming's is a weird one though, spread over a period of time not just one day from what I'm looking at (apparently something like Maine).
Then on March 3rd there was Washington, and Romney won that one with 38% of the vote to Ron Paul's 25% and Rick Santorum's 24%.
So, before Super Tuesday happened, this was is what the state totals were:
Mitt Romney - 8 (New Hampshire, Florida, Nevada, Maine, Arizona, Michigan, Wyoming, and Washington)
Rick Santorum - 3 (Colorado, Missouri, Minnesota)
Newt Gingrich - 1 (South Carolina)
Ron Paul - 0
Then after Super Tuesday, which had 10 states voting, the results were:
Romney - 14 (picked up Alaska, Idaho, Massachusetts, Ohio, Vermont, and Virginia)
Santorum - 6 (picked up North Dakota, Oklahoma, and Tennessee)
Gingrich - 2 (picking up Georgia)
Ron Paul - 0
Why did Romney win the nomination? Because Ron Paul 2012 never ran a single attack ad against only him, in any state, trying to cause a brokered convention. Ron Paul 2012 helped Mitt Romney defeat Rick Santorum in Michigan, which gave Romney momentum, and taking momentum away from Santorum.
Had Romney lost Michigan to Santorum, Super Tuesday would have been an absolute massacre between Romney and Santorum with attack ads, because of how close the race would have still been.
Romney was pretty much guaranteed only a few wins on Super Tuesday, even if he had lost Michigan:
Idaho and Massachusetts
Newt Gingrich would have probably still won Georgia, and been the only state he grabbed that day like normal.
Rick Santorum though? He picked up North Dakota, Oklahoma, and Tennessee. Those were his only three. He could have probably picked up Alaska, which he lost by 4% points, if Romney had lost Michigan.
Santorum probably would have picked up Ohio as well, because he lost that one by 1% point.
The whole thing would have fallen apart and been a complete mess (brokered convention) if Ron Paul 2012 had not helped Mitt Romney win Michigan. OR, at the very least, tried to help Rick Santorum beat Mitt Romney in states like Ohio and Alaska on Super Tuesday with some attack ads.
Oh, and while Romney was having to spend money on Super Tuesday trying to destroy Rick Santorum in states, that would have given Ron Paul 2012 a chance to try and actually win Virginia. Causing more of a headache for Mitt Romney, especially if Newt and Santorum helped in any significant fashion.
Instead, the campaign helped Mitt Romney by never attacking only him in any state, like they did Perry, Newt, or Santorum. They agreed to not attack Mitt Romney, because they never did. They never released a single Mitt Romney only attack ad, and repeatedly used events to try and defend him...like they did with their Etch-A-Sketch ad making fun of Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich instead.
Then again, anybody that has spent more than 5 minutes doing electoral work would have known and seen this immediately...and despite some of us calling/emailing and basically yelling and screaming for Ron Paul 2012 to attack Mitt Romney in a specific way, they didn't care or listen. They just wanted to drag supporters along, and act like they were serious, to keep on getting donations. Sadly, they apparently were more serious about helping Mitt Romney win the nomination without any waves, and getting Rand a speaking slot at the convention."
So, Ron Paul 2012 couldn't attack only Mitt Romney, and instead chose to kiss the ring on his hand while begging supporters for "more more more" only to throw some of those very supporters under the Mitt Romney bus and COMPLETELY waste their time/money on becoming delegates in some states. Apparently though, they thought it was smart to funnel funds under the table to Kent Sorenson. Political, GENIUSES!
When Ron Paul supporters and delegates were trying to round up funds to get to Florida, the campaign was sitting on a million plus CASH...and still has it. Completely dishonest from the moment they agreed to not attack Mitt Romney and instead help him win the nomination without any waves at the RNC so Rand could get a speech.
If I don't like corruption in my government and a government that lies to me, why would I like it from a campaign?
