Gary Franchi claims Amash is going to endorse Romney [update: Amash says false]

[DeMintConservative]

I'm a bit more worried about entitlement reform, judges and spending than a WW3 that seems very unlikely to me in any scenary. And Romney seems way too much of a pragmatist to embrace military adventures.

Dole and McCain lost. I suppose this year and in 2000 the party nominated an unbashed anti-statist, right?

Again, unless the process involves some magic, I don't see how it works. Plus, I keep saying this: if you aren't willing to build political alliances, then don't expect to go to far inside a major party. In a 2-party system, parties are big tents. The FPS parties, the Federalist and the Democratic-Republican, were already big tents. Dont' support a large faction of your own party, and you can expect them to pay back the favour.

Again, if you don't even support Ron Paul, how much good does it do us?

I'm not sure how is that related to what I was saying, but I certainly would vote for Ron Paul if he was the Republican nominee (as I voted for him in the primary - albeit I probably wouldn't if the field wasn't so weak).

Voting for someone just because they have an (R) or a (D) behind their names is how our country got into this mess. Team Red or Team Blue, it doesn't really matter, the same crap keeps going on. You don't like Obamacare but you are willing to vote for someone who implemented Romneycare and you are willing to believe his BS even though you know he has been every side of the same issue. Why? Because he has an (R) behind his name. You and the people like you who vote for either (D) or (R) are the problem we have to deal with in this country. Why should we listen to what you have to say?

Just look at the so called "conservative" judge appointed by "conservative" George Bush who gave his stamp of approval on Obamacare as proof. Fk Team Blue and FK Team Red, they are the problems not the solution.

If those guys want support from the RNC to be re elected they have to endorse Mitt Romney ... they have to sign a pledge . Ron Paul has endorsed people we didn't really care for because of the pledge. If we want these liberty guys to keep their seats and do our bidding, they have to play the game. That is the mature way to look at it. There are not enough of us yet to make all the changes we want to make. It will come, but not if you folks bail on the liberty guys because they have to comply. SMH.

ummmm no, we got them elected without the GOP establishment......

"Justin Amash Denies Reports That He’ll Be Endorsing Romney"

Who is Gary Franchi?

The person who made sure New Hampshire was NOT mailed any Super Brochures.

And if I had not checked on the DVDs that were supposed to be included with the Super Brochures, I may not have known until after Thanksgiving. This would have caused the Independents in IA not to get a Super Brochure. I still remember the empty feeling of betrayal when I realized that Gary and RevPac had just raised over $100,000 and didn't plan on doing the mailings.

A traitor is the worst enemy of any group. And I know that there are many in the Liberty movement. A traitor will look active but get nothing done. They will try to divide and cause drama. Their weapon is doubt.

And what you are seeing here is someone creating doubt about someone who is starting to be a name in the Liberty movement.

After seeing this, I feel I need to post the story of what happened last November. Especially since Gary is an MC at P.A.U.L Fest. The truth needs to be out there.

In Liberty,

Owner of RonPaulProducts.com and the Ron Paul Super Brochure

Right, but I'm sure Amash plans on running again next time around, and the time after that too.

Yeah, with all due respect, a lot of you seem a bit delusional with respect to how politics works. Endorsing Romney is exactly the sort of empty, meaningless gesture to the GOP that we should want our liberty candidates to making so they don't have to make concessions on that things that actually matter. Amash is going to run for re-election. He'll probably have a primary opponent. Romney will either win or lose. Do you want Amash's primary opponent to be able to run ads saying "Justin Amash refused to endorse the GOP Presidential candidate against Barrack Obama"? Why would you want Amash to give a softball like that to his enemies? And for what? I want Amash to be a purist with his votes and his speeches articulating a liberty ideology. I don't want him committing political suicide by refusing to offer a meaningless "Go Team" endorsement of the GOP nominee.

I really wonder what motivates some of these people sometimes, (Franchi, Tate, Benton, Jones, Kokesh, etc) they seem to be intentionally trying to divide people FAR too often!

Why are you lumping these people in the same category? They each have very different views, positions and audiences.

Also, I find it very hypocritical of you to claim some people involved in the liberty movement are trying to divide people, when such a statement is nothing but divisive itself.
