Doug Wead: Some things about the Ron Paul campaign can't be discussed right now

And there you have it mundanes. Some things are not for mundane consumption. You can read about it in 20 years. In the meantime, shut up and get back to campaigning. The only purpose of this site is to elect Ron Paul. Did you miss the part at the top that says "Ron Paul" forums? If you are not down with that you have no business here! If you want to discuss Orwellian conspiracy theories take that truther garbage somewhere else.

A deal won't work, you can't /deliver/ ron paul delegates to romney, not gonna happen. The mentality of libertarians and liberty loving people is "you are not the boss of me" , I don't consider ron paul the boss of me nor anyone else on the campaign. That being said, I don't believe the statements made by the campaign will hurt the outcome much. It's this line of thinking that makes me think there is strategy in play at the campaign, they have to know their supporters better than that... they had to know the supporters wouldn't listen. Regardless, if they are planning a deal it won't work anyway. So, KEEP ON GOING, this revolution is ours, not ron paul's and not jesse benton's.
 
It's not in the interest of Paul or Romney for a ruckus to take place at the convention. I'm sure both parties came together and agreed on some things conceding to Paul (Benton laid them out) in order to drown down the racking up of delegates and the impending chaos to take place at the convention.

Only Romney and the corrupt old dinosaur GOP gain by silencing us.
 
The Ron Paul Campaign can make all the deals they want.

WE don't have to accept them. This is OUR movement.
 
The deal could be a VP pick for Rand. Rand is likeable and he comes from the South. He also carries with him an essential part of the Republican Party: libertarians, Ronulans, and Tea Partiers. He could be the magic key for a Romney win. I'd highly consider voting Republican if that was the case.
 
Ron Paul made the right decision.

Probably one of the toughest ones out of his career, if not the toughest. But going forward, it's the right thing to do, so, I applaud him for making that decision in the face of an unpopularity backlash .

We were setting ourselves up for some huge unforeseen, unintended consequences at the convention. The Risk outweighed itself far greater than the reward. And I think the writing on the wall became increasingly apparent after AZ/OK, that he had to make a calculated decision quickly as litigation becomes a step closer to reality in the fight and process to win. Obviously, Ron Paul felt that it wasn't worth sacrificing 40 years worth of gains his message has garnered for an unclear shot-- with guaranteed frenzy and litigation battles-- at the convention that can prove to be detrimental to accelerating the freedom message in the future.

Freedom will be won incrementally, not overnight. And the good news is we have already turned the massive ship.

Paul has successfully changed the national narrative and pleaded his case to anyone that can hear it. It will take 4 years of Romney and the same establishmentarian policies to get the public to finally reconcile their deep-seeded beliefs as they find themselves worse off than in 2012.

That being said, a 2008-style economic crash is not that far out of the picture and can possibly occur anywhere from now until the election--especially with all of the global slowdown, euro-zone breakup, JP morgan, Chesapeake news beginning to hit the headlines. With this scenario, Ron Paul could see immense surging in polls to come in as a viable 3rd party candidate or lockup Romney's VP slot for the immense credibility he brings to the table.(Not to say him and Romney haven't already brokered some sort of deal)

If the Ron Paul campaign is self-destructing in order to preserve the political future of Rand Paul, then they will destroy everything this movement has accomplished in the last 5 years.

Likewise, if they think they can influence and change the GOP by playing nice, then they are extremely naive. The only way things are going to change is with a forceful takeover of the party.

Gary Johnson over Romney,hope they say something soon cause i do not want to waste anymore time on a romney/paul ticket. I will never vote for a romney ticket unless romney is vp.

Why vote for a filthy corrupt administration. A month ago the consensus was that our vote was not for sale with a ridiculous VP slot for Ron or Rand.
 
The "deal thing" in my opinion is spot on.

I like the posts in this thread pertaining to us not giving up, and us not compromising, this is true, we the voters won't compromise. 4 more years of Obama, or 4/8 years of Romney, it doesn't matter, it just equates to at least 4 years of us getting to say, "We told you so."

It would just be unfortunate to see if a deal really was made. I'm hoping for the best.
