Lew Rockwell Blog on Ron Paul's New Strategy-a Must Read

[BenMuldowney]

That was Ryan W. McMaken's article and it is a very good read. People who are pissed off at the campaign either haven't done their homework or they think that Ron Paul is going to lead them to nirvana. The liberty movement is much greater than that. The powers-that-be (Bill O'Reily) told us long ago that Ron Paul was unelectable. That is because if Ron Paul becomes president their whole scheme comes crashing to the ground. It is crashing to the ground anyway, but they are not going to let it happen without cheating, lying, stealing, screaming, and beating their hands and fists on the floor first.

The R3volution continues and people need to realize that bribing the media to quit lying is a losing proposition especially when the campaign is not being funded by Goldman Sachs. Ron Paul is wise to not go into debt to fund the liars. Get off their backs.

blah blah blah... i've been in the fight for decades. i stand by my comments and appreciate some of the other posters that echoed the same thoughts. we love ron... i have seen very few criticize him (if hey do i will call them out). benton and some other staffers will be criticized when they pull this crap again. get off my back traylon.

If you really have been at this for decades, then why don't you see the real enemy? Jesse Benton is not the enemy. Ron Paul recently asked us for $650k to keep going while Mitt Romney (gets free media coverage) and has a net worth of something like a quarter of a $Billion.

Here in Colorado we had Senator John Thune - SD (who voted for TARP) speak on Romney's behalf along with Bank owner and Romney cheerleader Former Congressman Bob Beauprez and Romney people passing out fake liberty slates with former Senator Hank Brown on them. Goldman Sachs simply has more money and power than Ron and his campaign team. Our side is at an extreme economic and political disadvantage no matter who is on Ron's team.

Ron Paul is smart to not go into debt to buy TV ads to dispel the TV lies because Mitt Romney is not likely to help Ron retire his campaign debt. How is beating up on Ron's campaign team and Jesse Benton going to help?

i dont need lew rockwell to explain jack to me. [...] lew needs to get over himself.

So, Lew is gonna school us, eh?

The following is not meant as antagonism, but as constructive criticism: Lew Rockwell is not the author of the OP blog article. Ryan W. McMaken is.

Your points might be better taken if there was no reason for suspecting that they were motivated by anti-Rockwell sentiment (as opposed to honest disagreement with what the actual author said).

See, that's the thing about echo chambers ... all you hear are echoes.

The article is giving us perspective is it?
Long term it'll work out .. but make sure that right now you LOSE.

Problem is, there is no long term here. The crisis is now.
Ron Paul must do everything he can to win this year. He must run 3rd Party. Obama can be defeated by Paul. Bypass Romney he's nothing. So is the GOP.

The article is just a string of strawman arguments - misrepresent the target then refute your misrepresentation. What I have a problem with is the campaign's clear message of backing off. There was no need for it. Can you picture the scene? - Benton and the GOP haggling over consolation trinkets, agreeing to make the statement, to say the words, to sell out.
