Ron Paul campaign statement on Louisiana GOP convention

[Lightweis]

Get the hell out of here. Seriously, just get out.

HAHA. If you knew half the things I knew bud!

A lot of unity talk to 'defeat Obama'.

Yup..."Republicans of goodwill agree that following the spirited primary season, the general election presents us with an opportunity to defeat Obama and place the nation on a path to recovery."

Nice way to not state the fact, that the idiots injuring people and calling police, are the one's not following their own rules in most cases...those being the Romney/Santorum/Bachmann/Gingrich (add any other fake here) Supporters, who support a party that has no credibility. Seriously? Unite?
AND if we are to think the RP campaign is still in this to win this, why the crap do they need to talk with Romney's state rep? If anything, Romney's state rep should talk to RP's campaign.

Loser talks to winner, and says "Congrats", not the other way around.

I am not a fan of Mr. Tate. I don't want to get into specifics with the bad blood in Northern Virginia between him and our grassroots organization. He has not helped in Virginia. His family didn't even go to our district convention.

my point is, Tate hasn't won any delegates. It is our grassroots in each state that have done all the heavy lifting. he really doesn't matter.

People have been noticing and saying this for 5 years. You're not alone, and you're not a conspiracy theorist - you're seeing the forest for the trees.

You might be right. He and people like him might also be completely paranoid, insane, and detrimental to the movement. You know, either or.

 

[Austrian Econ Disciple]

neg rep. They've accomplished more in this campaign than you will in your entire life.

You can stop with the appeal fallacies anytime. You're (Campaign) supposed to defend our own, not throw them under the bus.

in louisiana, the dynamic changed and the lagop establishment became the sore-losers.

The Shreveport PD obviously didn't see it that way.

http://exm.nr/L9oiwb - just published my take if any of you care to pass that around.

 

[Eisenhower]

Doesn't the shitty national campaign realize that Ron Paul's supporters will only vote for him, and NOT unite with any party to assure the ousting of a particular politician?
Wake up.

 

[No1butPaul]

a girl doesn't have to sleep with a guy to get a free drink, she just has to omit the part where should would never do it.
same applies to our political realm.

Oh boy, I think I've been mistaken for an idiot!

romneybots control the rnc. thus, we have to kiss their ring. otherwise all delegate effort is for not. we need paulbots in the rnc. we got a few more this time around. we should be focused on getting even more next time.

 

[francisco]

perhaps trying to drive media narrative is wrong?
the ron paul delegates have been cast as basically sore losers who are just disrupting convention.
in louisiana, the dynamic changed and the lagop establishment became the sore-losers.
i really don't understand the ire.
maybe its because i've seen political foot work and fancy talk turn a convention in louisiana from a 17 delegate loss to a 27 delegate win.
kinda hard to judge that based on a few pieces of info off the net.

i think we did a great job not only winning delegates but controlling the narative as well.

"You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to torchbearer again."

Oh boy, I think I've been mistaken for an idiot!

its me, not you.
i've got info overload and am having trouble relaying info. i thought my writing was hard to understand.

Oh, ok. I see. Defend your own. That's what people are doing when they call for Benton's head, or Tate's resignation, or yell at Paul for not trying something different?

This is complete nonsense. The campaign isn't making enemies. It's speaking up when it should, being forceful where necessary, and doing more for the liberty movement than LITERALLY EVERYONE HERE EVER WILL.

The ungrateful, petulant behavior by some of the brats on this board is disconcerting.

Totally agree! He just chimes in to the take the credit. It is the grassroots not the campaign winning these delegates. The campaign is scared what we are going to do in Tampa Bay.

 

[paulbot24]

Campaign is a total joke. Good grief. What a bunch of asswipes.

Plenty of time to wipe our asses with worthless fiat currency if we don't get the delegates. First things first. Delegates won in Louisiana? Check! Good Work!

 

[Vessol]

However, we also wish to highlight and applaud the fact that the convention ended on a high note reflective of the cooperation all Republicans wish to see toward the mutual aim of defeating President Obama in the November general election.

I'm disappointed that the campaign has come to saying statements like this. Very disappointed.

Watching the video (granted, just once), it looks like the officers try to put him in a standard position used to subdue active or aggressive persons without injury to either party. So they were probably as surprised as anyone that injury resulted. If this technique was used, there will be no intent to harm. However, having/ordering him removed from the floor is a big issue. And using that technique on a non-aggressive person, or especially, ordering it to be done, could have legal precedent. Maybe the insurance the GOP had to pay to hold the convention will take care of the medical bills?

Yeah, it would be much better for the long-term success of the movement and its place in American politics if Paul came out, mooned the GOP, shouted "GFY, bitches!" then punched Priebus and Romney in the nuts. That would learn 'em!

BURN BRIDGES, MAKE ENEMIES! KICK ASS AND TAKE NAMES! WOOOOOOOO!

It will probably be the facility's liability insurance battling it out with the GOP's liability.
