holy shit

Is it just me or does Schiff look a little depressed?

 

[No1ButPaul08]

So much for Peter never mentioning Ron Paul

"That's one guy I don't have to convince. If I'm in there, and Rand Paul's in there, then we're two out of 100."

Wouldn't you be depressed if your supposed base can only rake up 30k in a planned money bomb, but they'll drop 60k for Rand in a heart beat?

This is so true. After Rand's primary, can we please, please concentrate on raising money for Schiff?

Thanks No1ButPaul08 for posting the videos. Hopefully CTSchiffSupporter will be back in business soon so we can get more.

Yea, that's what I was thinking too

I don't understand what Peter has done to deserve it.

 

[libertybrewcity]

i just can't watch it. he does look very depressed. i am sad because i really think if all liberty-lovers banned together, he could win this primary.

 

[libertybrewcity]

we got him into this senate race, and we just gave up on schiff half way through..

Peter is awesome. The Liberty community needs to 180 right now and mobilize hardcore for a second senator.

I agree it will just be difficult because all of the momentum is behind Rand now. Months ago it was the opposite scenario where all the support was going to Schiff. Hopefully his poll results turn around soon and more will get behind him.

that is the only thing holding liberty supporters back right now.

I agree with all of the above except for Peter looking like he is depressed. It just seems like he may have a cold or may be a bit under the weather (plus he has a mic at this event so he has to speak lower).

IMO, the guy is campaigning harder than Rand. We owe it to Schiff to get behind him 100% after Rand's primary.

you are right, I should be more optimistic! thanks the for the uplifting comment.

One of the best things that can happen for Peter Schiff and other candidates is for Rand Paul to win the primary because it will generate enthusiasm down the board for the others. I think what people are thinking is that we are so close with Rand that we ought to see it all the way through instead of stopping efforts at the 11th hour and snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

But at the same time it's starting to seem almost vitally necessary to have Schiff in the senate. It's definitely an uphill climb, we'd probably have to raise at least another 1.5 million dollars to win just the primary.

 

[cswake]

The first test is the May 21st convention - he needs to have a decent, or better, showing.

Awesome!

Candidate Peter Schiff says he wants to help the government clean up its financial mess

Schiff’s plan, if he is elected to the Senate, is to restructure the country’s economy. When guest Scott Italiaander asked him how he thought he could do it, Schiff was quick with his reply.

“I have to try,” he said. “Someone has to try.”

He outlined his ideas, which include cutting government spending, forcing the country to undergo structural reform and to eliminate goverment departments and programs that aren’t neeeded. “How can government double in size?” he asked rhetorically. “We can’t afford it. We spend $4 trillion a year to run the government. How can we continue to do that?”

Schiff also gave a warning to his listeners. “It’s going to get worse,” he said. “I want to be in the Senate when it happens, so I can help. If I can force the government to cut its spending, then eventually we can cut taxes. But we can’t do that until we cut spending. The government did this and it has to make some hard choices.”

According to his Web site, Schiff has raised more than $2 million in his campaign, and has continued to schedule public appearances and meet with state leaders to share his ideas.

One the one hand. Rand might be getting more attention down here on RPF, which could be expected. But financially speaking he isn't getting more money then peter, when you take into account that rand's primary is almost over and peter's only half way through.
