Benton: 'I've never been more proud of a boss than I am of Senator McConnell right now.'

[AGRP]

Unproductive, possibly counter productive. Dont like Jesses words or actions? Run for office yourselves.

 

[VBRonPaulFan]

Nobody knows who Jesse Benton is besides the hardcore Ron Paul fans. I'd be shocked if anyone is going to vote Mcconnell just because Benton is running his campaign. I could care less what kind of drivel he is sending out for Mcconnel - and you guys shouldn't either.

 

[Dystopian]

McConnell/Benton 2016!!!

 

[jtstellar]

why are you guys acting like he's the sole reason we lost or something? do you have no bigger fish to fry? get a life or get a job thx, if you have no bigger political goal to turn your future attention to. next time demand more background info on any campaign running on their staff, for example, would be one positive instance you can talk about. always turn your experience into something more fruitful, productive. right now i just see a bunch of teeny stink idiots whining

Jesse is taking one for the team, to get embedded so that Rand will have a better chance in 2016

Thanks for the laugh, that was funny.

What does spinning for McConnel do for Rand Paul?

And which team?

Are you trying to say that Benton steered his career down the neocon path so they'd have one more incompetent campaign manager and we'd have one less? If so, just spit it out!

 

[Koz]

This is totally disgusting.

Some of the big reasons are that a lot of us want to expose the Benedict Arnolds of, "the liberty movement" for who they are, and thus place time, money, and positive energy towards other outlets than into Ron Paul Inc..

 

[specsaregood]

LOL Jesse, you be trolling.

 

[Dystopian]

I can't wait for the Rand Paul 2016 moneybombs to start, so we can start working towards buying Benton an even bigger mansion. I think this tireless liberty crusader needs a yacht as well.

Well, he's correct that the deal McConnell struck saved millions of Americans from paying hundreds more to the government in their next paycheck.

Really? Millions of Americans would have paid hundreds out of their very next paycheck?

Most Americans would have paid a few dollars more (not hundreds!) in their next paycheck, and had it refunded next January anyway. The biggest hits were in the estate tax and capital gains tax.

I remember beig a working stiff and getting the tax cuts - it wasn't enough to matter very much.

 

[NorfolkPCSolutions]

Well...Jesse Benton is a stupid head.

CONFIRMED

 

[erowe1]

Dondero comes to mind.

How does McConnell's "deal" jibe with what Ron Paul has to say about the 'fiscal' cliff?

"While the media played up the drama of the down-to-the-wire negotiations, there was never any real chance that a deal would not be worked out. It was just drama. That is how Washington operates. As it happened, a small handful of Congressional and Administration leaders gathered in the dark of the night behind closed doors to hammer out a deal that would be shoved down the throats of Members whose constituents had been told repeatedly that the world would end if this miniscule decrease in the rate of government spending was allowed to go through."

What does spinning for McConnel do for Rand Paul?

Well, I know a lot of people in the liberty movement have a problem with this, because it's not exactly intuitive.

So allow me to explain...

Working for Mitch, Jesse gets access to all of Mitch's lists. He gets access to all of his fundraisers. He gets access to all of his big donors. He gets close to Mitch himself. Even if Mitch doesn't endorse Rand for President (I'm betting that he will) the access to these insiders is huge regardless of whether or not we like it. This will give Rand a tremendous advantage in 2016. And, if Mitch openly endorsed Rand then he could possibly be considered the most likely candidate for victory.

It's not something that I would personally do, I couldn't stomach it. It's dirty work, but someone has to do it, and sometimes winning involves doing things that are unpleasant. Jesse takes a lot of heat for things that are necessecary but unpopular.

 

[acptulsa]

So allow me to explain...

Rand has had enough time in the Senate to prove he can't be bought. Therefore, McConnell's owners (renters?) won't be wasting their money on him. Unless, of course, I'm wrong about Rand Paul, in which case Benton (as I said) isn't 'taking one' and isn't on 'the team'.

Once you go down that road you never come back. And if you think Benton is exempt from the history of countless others that have done so you are the worst kind of troll we have here.

Do you not think that Jesse loves what he is doing?

How are you so sure the insiders will align with Rand? The "insiders" with money and influence have historically been on team neocon.

Ron built this movement with his unwavering principles. I don't think Jesse understands this is the foundation.
