A message from Barr field director

[Pete]

Barr is getting some bad advice.

+1

Apparently, Barr said very positive things about RP at his press conference and affirmed the four planks agreed to with the other 3rd party candidates. I don't think he is an enemy of RP's but this field director dick sure is.

RP's event would have had much more shock value if Barr had showed and he'd not had his nothingburger press conference today. The message was our corrupt political system, not who's friends with who. I don't think it was Barr's idea not to go. Someone talked him out of it, else why would he go back on his word at the last minute?

Still doesn't speak well of Barr's decision-making ability.

I'm beginning to smell Richard Viguerie in some of these posts.

Since ending his Presidential campaign, though, Ron Paul has gone from being the hope for America to being a major obstacle to the message of freedom and the Constitution.

WHAT!? This guy Mike Ferguson looks like an Arby's eating douche. Reading that just makes me want to Bob Barf!

Can it be anymore obvious what Barr's true intentions are?

It's time for a lot of people around here to start eating crow.

Power. His life story, his actions, and his positions, detail what he wants more than anything else. He is an opportunist. I've said nothing different from day one.

Eating crow. I love it.

Fine. Another "my way or the byway" AUTHORITARIAN candidate. So long...

The LP could have thrown their full support behind RP earlier during the primaries with an endorsement of RP to show unity. Now they want to chastise RP for keeping his word and paint him as an opportunity squanderer. How quickly we forget.

The crazy thing is, I think this is Austin Petersen. Someone I have had a lot of email exchange with and was one of the most active Ron Paul supporters in the entire nation, working out of the NYC meetup. If this WAS written by him, I would be shocked. I emailed him a few hours ago. We'll see what he has to say I guess.

I wonder if Ron Paul himself will make a public statement about Bob Barr's no-show?

I smell a rat guys. If you click to make a comment, it'll send you to a "not a real myspace page" error.

I just logged into myspace, then pasted the address and, unfortunately, it is a real myspace page.

Oooohh....fight, fight, fight, fight!!!

Ron Paul v. Bob Barr. On the house floor. After recess.

Barr is no longer on the house floor. Oops!

Barr is no longer on the house floor. Oops!

Yeah, I know! I'd still pay to see it happen, though!

he simply doesn't have the will to actually get up and do something. He and everyone else knows that he was the only hope of a really strong third party showing in the General Election, and he simply either doesn't have the energy to run or doesn't have the guts to (and I tend to think the former).

What kind of blasphemy is this?? He doesn't have the energy? PLEASE the man just spent the past year on the campaign trail and survived!.. the man has more energy than 20 20-year-olds!

And to say he doesn't have the guts?? Are you kidding me? This man stands up to GLOBALIST ELITES, some of the most powerful people in the world, and you're saying he doesn't have the guts to "do something"??

What is it that you wanted him to do!??

and one more question........

What the F*** have you done??

 

[TruthisTreason]

This guy should be working for Chuck Baldwin. He just landing Chuck a lot of votes!

I said that it was one of the two, and it was probably that he was out of energy. I don't blame him for that, I only regret that this campaign didn't happen in 2000 or 2004, when he was younger and could have been more active.

What am I doing? I have been volunteering since a few weeks after I came to support Paul in November of last year. I am now trying to form a third party that can unite many of the misfits that are currently Independent or members of one of the failed and tarnished third parties.

 

[Shotdown1027]

Agreed. Anyone who is pissed at Baldwin should notice that Baldwin WAS there,and will be on Lou Dobbs tonight.

edit: ah i may have read it wrong and thought you were imply he didn't have the guts. though, i dont know why you would suggest such a thing.

and.....good luck with your 3rd party. it wont unite anyone, just cause further divisions.

This National Field Director asshole needs to remember something: He's talking shit about Paul and his press conference when, up until this morning, Bob Barr had actually committed to GO to this press conference. Now that Barr has gone back on his word and bailed with very little warning, his National Field Director is railing against the press conference as if Barr was always vocally opposed to it (rather than blatantly standing Paul up) - and on top of that, he's using it as an opportunity to make personal insults against Paul and insinuations of greed!

It looks to me like Bob Barr followed some horrible advice, went back on his word and stood Paul up, and then noticed the backlash - and so his National Field Director is brashly trying to "save face" for Barr through an extremely ill-advised unprovoked attack on Paul. That's really beyond the pail. If Barr actually agrees with this guy and/or sanctioned this attack, then he can seriously go to hell. I've never really trusted Barr, but I've been liking what he's been saying recently...until today. He has some serious explaining and asskissing to do at this point.

I think that you may have missed another option in your post: It's not about whether he has the guts or the energy, he has both. He also has a responsibility to his district in the house.

We know he won't win, even if he ran with Barr, and he has a duty to fulfill his obligation as Congressman of the 14th district. If he keeps playing around with this presidential run stuff, it takes away from that. In my opinion, he's trying to balance the revolution he started with his house duties. I commend him for that.

Former means the first one.
