Jesse Benton says campaign not formally making a push for delegates in MI convention

[FlipObamney]

Get over this one statement where Benton says there is no official backing in Michigan and continue working if you want to further the liberty movement.

I love how you think this blow-back is about that one statement. How about everything he has ever said or done has gone against the grain of the revolution.

 

[-:Undertaker:-]

Go there, get the delegates - ignore all other distractions and politics.

Doesn't the campaign have a few million dollar left?

Maybe we could give that money to Romney in exchange for some platform input.

I, like most of you, am really confused.

What's up with what seems to be a contradiction?.. From Benton “The campaign is not officially backing any action in Michigan,” . I thought the deal was the deal was the campaign is to focus on the delegate states? From Wead, "The delegate strategy is working. That is the way we will impact the platform in Tampa. That is the way we will begin the process of change." Very confusing.

benton is distancing himself from the delegates in case they take the convention to the parking lot when the romeybots try to illegally end it prematurely. benton is killing us... this isnt about "ron paul can't be in two places at one time." this is benton cozying up to the neocon rino's.

Just curious, how long have you been following the campaign?

LOL, Romney needs money? Did Goldman Sachs forget to send the daily check or something?

Make sure attach in a note that in no way shape or form does your donation go into the Staff Salary accounts payable column.

Everyone is getting worked up for nothing. Don't you all know that Emails could be faked and hacked.

Well how much money do we have. Don't we have some money we can give to Mitt Romney?

If we don't, I'm sure the campaign could take out some loans to give money to Romney, and then we could have Ron Paul fundraisers with Jesse Benton later on to pay it back.

I wonder how the Michigan RP Supporters attending the State Convention this weekend feel now???

Terrible. So much for the revolution!

Oh good, you're being sarcastic. I was worried but my sarcaso-meter started working at the last second.

I have been following the campaign before Ron decided to run in 2008. Do you have a point?

The thing about Michigan- it's supposed to be one of romney's 'home states' even if most people there don't claim him. They had planned on giving the Mass. delegation a lot of attention, but we know how that turned out. The romney camp doesn't want MI to be yet another embarrassment, so that's probably where they are putting the most muscle.

I for one would like to see us go into Michigan and take all the delegates. We all probably do, but this is one that will turn ugly very fast once the GOP see they don't have the numbers to stop us from getting delegates. People are going to be getting snatched up by the police and taken outside, and I mean grab you first and ask questions later. This is why they don't want video cameras in there. I believe those who have to go in there, they are fully aware of this and prepared for it. But for a Presidential campaign to officially get behind what we all believe is going to happen, the other side will see it as a hostile action.

WTF

Gee thanks pal



I knew he wasn't going to be there and that there wasn't going to be much support from the national campaign, but what's the purpose of telling the media this?

 

[digitaldean]

Bottom line is Jesse Benton just wanted to make money.

 

[dannno]

I'd like to see what actually happens at the MI convention before I hate on Benton too much.

 

[SpiritOf1776_J4]

Looks like there is going to be a riot and Benton is distancing himself!

 

[Maximus]

This is either the most genius political maneuver in history, or sheer arrogance and incompetence. Yesterday I thought we were playing possum, today I'm not so sure.
