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

[ord33]

I think Luskin does believe in the ideas.

Each of us has to do what we feel is best to advance the cause. If he's true to the cause, then he's no different than any of us on that score.

I think he is a serious person, so I don't believe he made this move without giving it a lot of thought.

I can't say if his primary concern related to the level of potential personal benefit, or if his primary concern is the advancement of the ideas.

Only Luskin knows the answer to that.

I prefer to think he remains a staunch supporter of Dr. Paul and is sincere when he says his goal is advancement of the ideas.

We'll all know soon enough, and if the label "traitor" fits when we do, I'll do what i can to spread that view of Luskin.

Until then, he gets the benefit of the doubt from me.

JMO, YMMV.

I agree for the most part. I believe Mr. Luskin would try to advance Dr. Paul's ideas and principles on the Economy to McCain. The problem is two-fold and both really McCain's fault. McCain already has so many different "advisors" I am afraid the message would be thinned out. With the great number of other economic advisors McCain has (you've heard him name drop) Luskin's message would be forgotten about in the shuffle. Number two, McCain will fail to ever see the economic strain having 700 bases and interventionism has on our economy and our dollar.

Don Luskin can go fuck himself, I can't believe I used him in my videos, I hope he gets severe food poisoning and has diareahha for a year.

I guess somehow you know EXACTLY what's going on? Amazing.

 

[nyjohn]

Luskin is a real head scratcher

I've watched some of his videos and he seems to support Ron's positions, yet oddly he's a bull while Ron's a permabear like Peter Schiff.

I apologize

Oh, now I get it -- this post is from "MayTheRonBeWithYou". Haven't we had issues with him in the past???

MayTheRonBeWithYou was right.

Yes, he has endorsed McPain.
I hope you understand MTRBWY...
I didn't want to believe it.

What a sad joke this all is. It is sad- I find myself hoping Luskin's family was threatened or something of that nature in order to be this unethical and immoral.


Off with his head.
Just joking!

 

[nodope0695]

Its called becoming a whore. What good can he do under a faschist neocon like McCain? Luskin is the Benidict Arnold of the RP Revolution. I'm sure McCain is paying him well.

I don't know what is going on within the campaign, but what I DO KNOW, is that John McPain is a warmonger, whoremongering NeoLiberal Socialist that is more sado masochistic than Charles Manson! He is in bed with the Bush/Clinton crime family and is a WANNABE POSER Bilderberg! In his dreams!
he is just scary.

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

Lame...

Luskin shaft

There is no way McCain is interested in Ron Pauls economic ideas. He's CFR, he's big government tax and spend, globalist, warmongering, nuke slobbering, NAU..the worst of the worst. This looks like either a buy-off or a plant deliberately staging a bail on Ron Paul to make him look like he is nonviable. Either way Luskin has no credibility, no integrity, no loyalty. Good riddance. Reminds me of Ron Pauls other "big fan", Tucker Carlson, who proclaimed Ron "his man" then tried to sandbag him with hookers. I think saying Luskin "Tuckered" Ron Paul is about right. RP supporters need to take all such endorsements with a pound of salt.
Ron is for the little guys, he plans no looting for corps or interests so anyone joining his campaign has to be in it for the true love of liberty, for righteousness.
View it as a gift: we are getting a rare glimpse at the people behind the masks, the true characters behind the charismatic glib talkers and pretty faces in the media and in government. We are getting an education in the way the world really works.
Ron Paul is the miracle, that the man has stayed so true to his principles, has been kind to people like Romney who repaid the kindness by saying he deserved to be laughed at.
In defense of frustrated RP supporters who lash out, I can understand it. Unfortunately, they play into the hands of those who are frustrating them.

 

[Shellshock1918]

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 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!

traitor.

 

[CJLauderdale4]

If McCain loses to RP, then what was the point of going over to McCain's campaign?
If Luskin is really a plant for Ron Paul (double-agent), then this was a great move!!

Oh yes, this is some part of a grand scheme by the great luskin to thwart the impending economic collapse.

I would even bet he will be up for Bernanke's job. But I am of the cynical sort.
He and his family will get the "special" chip.
As long as he acts "free and happy"

edit- note Lil' Luskin's --> You better hope you don't have 'surly' kids who can think for themselves, they will screw you.

 

[JimInNY]

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.

Cuz Ron Paul ISN'T dropping out. Silly!

I doubt this is true. I'm sure Don Luskin feels he can offer more practical help with McCain than with Paul. The problem is we (including myself) looked to Luskin as a leader, a beacon of 'hope', that even big players in the establishment are sympathetic to these ideas. And we were not completely wrong, he is sympathetic to these ideals; but he's no leader. He's a guy who understands economics...that's it. He's not a leader, player, or even politician.

On the upside, someone like Don Luskin was never referenced as an advisor before Ron Paul; but Ron made these ideas legitimate. Perhaps these are the types of changes we will be seeing first....

I too am bummed....I think Luskin has seriously let us down.

 

[Sandra]

Maybe Dr Paul can further clarify this move. Either it's an attempt to provide an economic buffer should a McCain presidency materialize, a hostile move, or neither.

If it was the first one, is there a chance he could advise Clinton and Obama too?

For sure, Luskin needs to be prodded with a pitchfork.

JMHO. J/K IMO.

edit,
why expect Ron Paul to "explain" the weakness of mankind?

 

[ronpaulyourmom]

I can see that I'm in the minority when I say this but...

I respect Don Luskin's decision and I hope he finds a way to make a difference; I thank him for his role in helping the revolution. Frankly guys, he did more to help spread Dr. Paul's message than a great many of us here.

 

[Azprint]

No surprise for me here. Never believed to lawyer, economist or bureaucrat. They are full of shit and are shit. Move along, nothing to see here.

Holy Crap........they got to him...Looks like the powers that be want 100 years mcCAIN in the seat.........z

 

[zardiw]

What's happening here is that the powers that be are getting worried. Ron Paul is getting too popular, and they are scared shitless. SO, they are taking 'steps'.....I'm waiting for some more shoes to drop..........z
