Jeff Cherry is running against Ron Paul for his congressional seat in 2010. (Video)

[HOLLYWOOD]

Wanna bet the national GOP backs this guy to the hilt as the campaign progresses?

Any takers?

That's the scary part... if you don't fit "The Party" mold, everything is done to remove you. It has nothing to do with free elections, democracy, the Republic, etc. It's about the PARTY and their screwed up Ideologies.

(I think of that movie with Clint Eastwood in FireFox - Russian dialec, "This is the Party Secretary, return the property of the USSR")

Oh and when a local representative doesn't have enough money to compete against an opponent/Rival, the DNC/RNC steps in with the Ads, Commercials, and local funding. (This is the big loophole in Campaign Financing and noticed this extensively in the 2008 elections) You can donate up to $25K to the National party, which turns the money around and wins seats locally.

The there's the other half, no comply with 'THE PARTY', no national funds for your campaign. Just what the Democrats did to BJ Lawson. Yes I know, both parties don't fight in some backyards in futile elections and agreements.

I'd like to see how this CHERRY FOREVER will get his Campaign Funding... you know there will be dirt and it should be exposed.

Jeffrey Cherry is actually a really cool guy. He was my teacher a few years ago too...really learned alot in his class.

You don't have to attack his personal integrity. He is a good guy and believes in what he says. Just because he doesn't agree with everything doesn't mean you should attack him. Of course being a different candidate he will hold different opinions than Ron Paul.

You guys should be embracing the opportunity. I want to see Ron Paul in a 1 on 1 debate.

Well that's why I say I feel sorry for him. Because he is going to be under a lot of pressure starting today. :/

Anyone who listens to what ron paul says... and then thinks he isn't what this country needs... has something wrong with their head.
Period.

It's a great learning opportunity indeed.

The national GOP didn't back Chris Peden...

No, waaaay back in 1996. From Wikipedia:

n 1996, Paul was re-elected to Congress after the toughest campaign race he had faced since the 1970s. Since the Republicans had taken over both houses of Congress in the 1994 election, Paul entered the race hopeful that his Constitutionalist policies of tax cuts, closing agencies, and curbing the UN would have more support,[45] but he quickly concluded "there was no sincere effort" toward his goals.[9] The Republican National Committee focused instead on encouraging Democrats to switch parties, as Paul's primary opponent, incumbent Greg Laughlin, had done in 1995. The party threw its full weight behind Laughlin, including support from House Speaker Newt Gingrich, Governor George W. Bush, and the National Rifle Association. Paul responded by running newspaper ads quoting Gingrich's harsh criticisms of Laughlin's Democratic voting record 14 months earlier.[13] Paul won the primary with support from baseball pitcher, constituent, and friend Nolan Ryan (as honorary campaign chair and ad spokesman), as well as tax activist Steve Forbes[5] and conservative commentator Pat Buchanan (both of whom had run presidential campaigns that year).

BTW, for anybody who is interested, he HAS read The Revolution: A Manifesto.

At the very least, if he does win the seat he would listen to our views.

And whoever said Mr. Cherry is a politician, he hasn't run for political office before.

 

[LibertyEagle]

Do you really think that's realistic? Do you really believe he'll open up his mind to a philosophy of liberty and say, "Oh...I never thought about it that way. Nevermind about the Congressional run!" No way! This guy has all of his marching orders from on high, straight from the Texas GOP I'd wager. The only way to win against people like this is to shove their lack of facts and principles in their faces. Granted, the kid gloves approach is best when trying to convert ordinary people, but this guy is a politician.

Yeah, but I don't think about our comments being for him. I think about them being for the other people who read there. We want to make them think. If we call him names, I think it will backfire on us.

Actually, HE is the one who attacked Ron Paul. Moreover, he gave a fictitious definition of conservatism and then went on to suggest big government stick their noses where they have no business being.

Yeah, he's a different candidate. But, he is no conservative and he shouldn't call himself one.

No, this guy is a joker.

But hey, if Cherry actually beats out Paul miraculously maybe it will convince him to announce a late run for president!!

They'll absolutely get behind him. The GOP establishment hates Ron Paul.

Ron takes food off their plates by exposing Republicans to the traditional principles of the party (and by doing so making people more reluctant to open up their wallets).

Starving the beast (The RNC) makes the beast angry.

It's all about $$$$ in the end.

pah-leeaaase

I will be actively campaigning against this guy, and donating to Ron Paul.

Jeff Cherry: "Ron Paul does not represent the conservative values..."


Yeah, Jeff? Tell that to the crowd at CPAC. Watch them throw tomatoes at your dumb ass.

 

[PatriotOne]

LOL....no love for Jeff in the comments section. I bet Jeff wasn't expecting THAT kind of response to his vid. I do wish there were more intelligent remarks though. Cursing at him and calling him a moron just makes the responders look worse than Mr. Cherry. Though after reading his Foreign Policy and Homeland Security section...he IS a dumbass

Chris Peden said in 2008 he would run again against Paul in 2010. I don't know if he still plans to do it, but that'd be two underfunded losers running who'd together be lucky to combine for 35% of the vote.

Maybe time for a Ron Paul for Congress money bomb? I think he may still have well over a million in his warchest, it was 2.5 last I saw but I don't know how much of it Paul has given to the Campaign for Liberty. A million even would be likely ten times more than this Cherry character will ever take in in donations in a primary.

[RonPaulFanInGA]

Seriously though, this guy is absolutely no threat. I thought Peden was, but nope. The 2008 campaign will be WELL off voters' minds in 2010, so I doubt playing the "I'll vote in congress to keep the war going forever" will play even in a republican primary in an anti-war republican district. If no one else runs against Paul in the primary but this guy, Paul will get at least 75% of the vote in March 2010.

Cynthia Sinatra 2006....Chris Peden 2008....Jeff Cherry 2010

 

[Imperial]

I don't think you would need a Paul for Congress moneybomb yet. Money better spent on actual candidates

 

[GBurr]

Looks like we are going to have to drop a money bomb.

 

[RonPaulVolunteer]

oooo! There's a comment section!

lol...
