The CFL won't endorse candidates. That's not even an issue.
But the thing is, you don't get to choose who the members try to raise money for. Don't like it? Don't donate. Better yet, go start a PAC.
You hijacked somebody else's thread and accomplished nothing. If I wasn't broke, I'd donate to Rubio just to tick you off.
Nobody cares that you don't like Rubio. Get it? We're all grown ups here - capable of making our own choices about which candidates deserve our money.
I don't know if the CFL will endorse candidates or not. It is a 501 c 4, so it at least can endorse them. My understanding is that the endorsement policy differs from state to state within the organization.
At any rate, regarding any given action on behalf of a candidate by the Ron Paul movement, whether its official or unofficial, my opinion is as valid as anyone else's, and this forum is as appropriate of a place for it as anywhere else. Of course if any troll wants to come here and try to get people to donate money to candidates like Rubio, Crist, Specter, McCain, Lindsey Graham, Obama, or whomever, they are free to do that and to donate to them. But when they do that, they should not be surprised to find themselves dressed down by the Ron Paul supporters here who want to make sure that these forums are used as a tool for the advancement of our movement over against the Republican/Democrat big government establishment. There's no such thing as hijacking threads. I have no idea if anyone cares if we Ron Paul supporters like Rubio or not. I'm sure some do and some don't. But this is a discussion forum, and the topic of this thread is Rubio. So it should come as no surprise to anyone that diversities of opinion about Rubio would be discussed here, nor should it come as any surprise that the opinions of those like me who belong to the Ron Paul wing of the GOP will be included, given the nature of this website. What should come as a surprise to people is the idea that just anybody can come in here pumping up just any candidate, no matter what their positions are, and not have others disagree with them.
As for my participation in this thread accomplishing anything, that was entirely up to the Rubio supporters. I challenged them quite some time ago to provide any evidence at all that Rubio would be less bad than Crist, and they never came up with any. If that is the same as accomplishing nothing, then that's on them, not me. But in my eyes, something was accomplished, since I think it's fair to say that if they had any evidence they would have provided it, and therefore there is no reason to think Rubio is less bad than Crist. Learning that fact is an accomplishment worth noting, at least to me, even if not to someone else.
