Jesse Benton is either an idiot or is a plant. He says that Paul is basically done on Thursday (and the MSM can run with it), then on Friday he says that Ron Paul is not ending his campaign? (so it will get lost in the weekend news cycle?)

fuckin Benton said:
Despite reports indicating otherwise, the Texas Republican is not ending his long-shot campaign for presidency, Paul’s top spokesman said Friday.

“Dropping out is not accurate,”said Jesse Benton, Paul’s presidential campaign spokesman, by phone.

Im glad to read this but for god sake can we please put Benton on the sidelines? How much damage does this guy get to do?
 
Paul campaign spokesman Jesse Benton confirmed that the video means the candidate recognizes he will not be the nominee.

"Winding down" is how Benton described the next phase of the campaign. "Dr. Paul acknowledges that he will not be the nominee but will continue to travel to address supporters and encourage grass-roots activism to influence the process and return the Republican Party to its traditions of limited government and personal freedom," Benton said.

Bro, you're sighting a guy with the screen name of, fuckin Benton?
 
Ron Paul's entire PR staff is terrible. They dealt with the media all wrong.
 
Jesse Benton is the ENEMY WITHIN. The fuck needs to be fired and/or gagged. If I'm angry at anybody in this campaing, I'm angry with the campaign STAFF, and their ineptness and moronical attitude and actions.
 
C'mon guys.. Ron Paul knows these guys for years and trusts them.. Theyre loyal to him and do their best.. We know the MSM is probably just trying to find a story... IF Ive learned one thing from this campaign its that the MSM is more full of shit than I ever believed.

Same learning lesson for me. They did their blackout so effortlessly that I now realize they've been like this all along and are experts at shaping the nation's views.
 
Chill out All. First Ron Paul staff has and is doing a wonderful job! After all they coordinating meet up groups across the Country, built a database that has value beyond the Presidential race, that generated over $6 million dollars in funds, from my understanding the largest amount in United State History in one day.

The media is what it is, of course they are going to try to divide and disort, that is what they do best.

You have two choices, one take a defeat and walk away and whine, or stand tall and build a house and senate that represents the will of the people. If politics was easy, we wouldn't be in the MESS we are in.

Did you read this article, look at the OPTIONS relating to the funding! Instead of trashing Paul's team, realize that those who at this point can be bought and sold will cut a deal and run. That is always the case, if they wanted a statement from Paul on his compaign and if he was dropping out, the media should have contacted him directly or an "official spokesperson" that was designated to speak on behalf of Ron Paul.

Let's review what exactly happened, Ron Paul released a video to his supporters, the media ran a story based on that video release, so what is all the fuss about!

Financially, Ron Paul seems to know what he is doing with the funding, all these postings are seeds of doubt, and we all know what we say to those who continue to plant seeds of doubt in the Ron Paul Forums...go plant them somewhere else.

It is a long race, it isn't over, his name is on the ballot, his Campaign is open for donations and he will continue to speak out on the dollar, foreign policy, and the constitution. That messages seems to bother some, and each negative story that is printed should remind us all just how powerful Ron Paul Republicans are and will continue to be! Rock On! Our creativity blows them away!
 
If anyone is to blame, it is RP himself. He has to realize the media slur his words - using works like "winding down," is only a SURE way for the Media to screw him over more. He needs to watch his words and be 100% dead on accurate when addressing his supporters - not using words that can be taken either way. You know if WE were confused by it, the MSM was going to emphasize it.
 
I think we all have to face the fact that Ron Paul now probably sees the next months as not really campaigning but more of a continuation of spreading the message. I don't think he is planning on winning but wants to continue to help the revolution grow. That is what winding down means IMO.

Has he officially dropped out, no. Is he campaigning to win, no. Is he going to use all of the remaining funds to spread the message, HELL YES!
 
You have all lost your minds.

No wonder this campaign failed. You are all so blinded by your zeal...

Ron Paul WILL not be President. He knows it, we know it.

He will contine to speak and spread the message...we should support him and MOVE ON to things that will really make a difference like electing liberty candidates in our own localities.

If I see another "IT'S NOT OVER" thread, I will puke.

you can point the finger at anyone involved... but the simple fact is... americans want their govt to take care of them... they want socialist health care...

people wont realize theyre fucked until theyre out on the street with empty pockets and gas at 10 bux a gallon.

if they could give him some good air time to talk to the people... i.e. google interview of paul... we could have a chance, but we wont get that shit. textbook blackout of paul campaign by the msm killed democracy. people who promoted paul (bill mahr, howard stern, etc) should be shot for not pushing his agenda harder when paul was gettin hot... now bill mahr promotes who? obama? fuck mahr in his stupid little ear.

Jesse really sucks. He is unbelievably horrid at his job and has proved it over and over again..now THIS! I hope everyone writes HQ and calls them like I did. He is not even listed on the page to write HIM a letter. I do not even know if he is still even working at the campaign (definitely not FOR it tho). RP made it clear that it is up to US now. Organize some more rallies for him! Get him to your towns! He said he would come if we did it, and I do not think he cares if only 200 people show uo! Get his message OUT.

This is what Hillary Clinton did and look how its backfired on her. Obama picked pros who could get the job done regardless of whether they agreed with him or not. His campaign has been a machine and is doing really well.

IMO, Paul should have fired his executive management and brought in pros to get it done. Those who are loyal to him could have worked under such people.
