**Statement from Donald Luskin to Ron Paul Supporters**

[MayTheRonBeWithYou]

I asked Don over email if I could pass along a message from him to the grassroots, because many of us were confused by his move.

Here is Luskin's official statement to Paul supporters, which he just sent me a few minutes ago:

I’ve had a great experience with the Paul campaign, and I have nothing but respect and admiration for everyone on the team.

I’ve made the personal decision that the time is right to help the cause of liberty and economic growth in a slightly different way now. Remember – it’s about a set of ideas, not about one man.

My hope is to move McCain in the direction of Dr. Paul’s policies.

Donald L. Luskin

I think there is more to this situation than meets the eye. Ron himself might have supported this and might be pleased to have Luskin moving into McCain's inner circle. Lord knows McCain needs the advice!

Sounds like a traitor! So basically he's going to pretty much help Mccain pretend to be Ron Paul but when he becomes president do the opposite.

Ron Paul has some campaign moles.

 

[Paul.Bearer.of.Injustice]

Why would he make the move today? Why not after Ron dropped out?
He sounds like another weasel politician with summer soldier values.
I hope I'm wrong.

What a Damn Hypocrite!!!!!!!!!!!!

"it’s about a set of ideas"

And McCain represents Ron Paul's Ideas? What a joke!

I am thinking he was a plant from the beginning, put on a show of support from Ron Paul to get on the inside and find out all the information he could about the plan's of the campaign.

TRAITOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

McCain is NOTHING like Ron Paul!!!!!!!!!!

NOTHING

 

[tamor]

It's called politics -- it he is going to be in a position to persuade McWar (good luck to him!) he has to be close to him ( I know I am laughing, too) but that is the game

 

[HollyforRP]

I'm still curious as to who's idea was it to put up the precinct captain on Ron's website so that anyone could sign up and get names of people voting for Ron Paul and addresses.

Those names are not supposed to be easy to obtain!

So who's bright idea was this?

 

[mahopaul]

Can you spell SLEPPER?

 

[Shinerxx]

Read Ron Paul's book...our economic problems at tightly knit to our current foreign policy. Don Luskin on the McCain team is pretty much pointless because McCain would have to change his foreign policy to fix the economy. Sorry John and Don your duo is doomed for failure.

 

[christagious]

What's his name again???

Oh yeah, I remember

BENEDICT ARNOLD

BENEDICT ARNOLD!!!!

BENEDICT ARNOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thats like moving a sumo wrestler into a full lotus position....

Don is and always was one of THEM, the Paul stint was a fascade to insinuate migrating support from Paul to Mcain, which we all know is retarded.

 

[NMCB3]

That answer doesn`t satisfy me.....Fuck him.

 

[MayTheRonBeWithYou]

McCain is NOTHING like Ron Paul!!!!!!!!!!

NOTHING

I think that's the point! He's going to try to move McCain toward Ron's ideas on the economy.

People are too quick to jump conclusions around here. One day, Bill Maher is a hero, the next, you're sending him nasty emails. Maybe there are things about this situation we don't know. Why is everyone so quick to condemn other people as "traitors" or whatever, when you might not even understand the whole situation?

Sometimes I think this board is populated by 14 year olds.

I'll try: Sleeper

How'd I do?

i agree. may i quote you.

I know the Huckleberries were using it because they were doing the non-advocacy calls in my area which, by the way, was the crappiest idea ever ahahahahah.

At our call center, we had a new Ron Paul supporter come in and try that and he got hung up on 10 times in a row! lol

Whoever came up with the non-advocacy script needs to be flogged.

I don't think Don Quixote is who you think he is.

Yea... I too sometimes can't decide whether this board is populated
by either moles or utter simpletons.

Can you give a good reason then? You really think McCain is going to change his ideals? No way, and if he does it'll only last until he's elected so he can change it back to the way he was before.
