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

[Rhys]

What's his name again???

Oh yeah, I remember

BENEDICT ARNOLD

BENEDICT ARNOLD!!!!

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

it's a crime to say his name, you know.

now it should be the same for Luskin.

edit: this is not great news to anyone who said it is. the media doesn't see this as "wow ron paul's so smart, his guy switched teams!" and neither do I.

 

[freedmfytr]

getting involved in this campaign is one of the hardest things i have ever done. there's so much drama here it's unreal.

blimp
fox boycott
newsletters
vote fraud
billionaire
recount
no billionaire
MSM blackout
being left off the ballots


now this, you have got to be kidding me???!!!!

this crap just doesn't stop for this movement, huh??

WOW! You hit the nail on the head. Hard to keep up w/these things & live a somewhat normal life at the same time. This campaign has taken so much out of me. I say that knowing I haven't given all I should have or near as much as alot of people on this forum. With all these odds stacked against us, its a wonder we made it this far.

No idea about Luskin as i am unfamiliar with him. Sounds pretty bad!

McCain suffers from Narcissistic Personality Disorder and probably residual PTSD. He is a bully. He is corrupt. He is degenerate i.e. he is unprincipalled.

Anyone who can support a war that not only contaminates the so-called enemy and their families for centuries, but also US troops, with radioactive material that compromises their genetic make-up, is a very frightening person and should be avoided at all costs. In fact I would rather be exposed to DU myself than share any vicinity with JMcCain.

I will never forget his snide remarks and sniggers during those serious debates about war damage and war dead and towards a good, intelligent, brave person called Ron Paul. I don't think i have ever despised a person as ardently as John McCain!

I thank the gods and goddesses that i live in NZ and do not have to be subjected to him.

have not read every post here on this topic yet, so I apologize if I post something already stated here. I'll read all after this post.

But listen, for our man, especially an economic advisor, to have embedded himself within the Republican front-runner's campaign -- that's REALLY BIG news! I cannot stress how HUGE this really is either!

Think about it for a minute. John McCain takes the economic advisor from an otherwise "Crazy Lunatic" also running for President! Can't you see? This whole thing gives Dr. Paul credibility, like, BIG TIME -- especially within his economic ideas.

The sincerest form of flattery is to mimic another -- to steal their ideas -- and although the media is largely silent on this, if it had been Mitt Romney's, or Huckabee's economic advisor changing camps, you can be sure that it would be HUGE news.

It's even BIGGER news that Ron Paul's advisor has found a WELCOMING home in the "Non Crazy" Republican front-runner's campaign, although it's in the best interest of the Republican party, including John McCain, to not make a big deal of it. For that would give Ron Paul credibility, which is not what they're they're prepared to give him at the moment, for he represents a threat to the Republican Party establishment.

But rest assured, this is GREAT NEWS, make no mistake about it! Some of you may be a little young, not that that's bad, but trust me, this is VERY GOOD NEWS!

I'm sorry that so many of you cannot seem to see through this.

I'd really, really like to believe this theory but i am so disgusted and disillusioned and terminally pessimistic after going on this rollercoaster journey, that I think i am probably becoming unhinged (just kidding!)

I think the entire earth needs to be encircled by a barbed wire fence and it needs to be dragged into some black hole in the milky way where it's appalling influence will no longer be able to harm sentient beings.

^^^^^

Ron Paul Economics 101 - Bring the Troops Home NOW

John McCain Foreign Policy - Iraq for 100+ Years and MORE wars

Not a damn positive economic thing that Luskin will be able to do for McCain with his stance on foreign policy. Makes no sense.

 

[devil21]

Maybe this whole thread is a troll and utter fabrication. That RonBeWithYou dude's posts always made me raise my eyebrows. Is there any confirmation?

I didnt read the whole thread. I just know my radar goes off with that member's posts.

 

[tropicangela]

It's definitely confirmed that Luskin is a traitor and went to McCain... as for the personal email, who knows.

I think this is what he was trying to tell us...

 

[JoBurke]

my hope is that you get ganked and ripped in a dark alley.

 

[JoBurke]

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.

BS - you are the child if you believe your own statement.

This would be like molding GW Bush into the image of Gandhi, or Bill Clinton into the image of a Virgin.

Here're my two bits on this. I believe Mr. Luskin still intends to vote for Dr. Paul, but will offer his knowledge and experience to McDrain.
I think this is kind of another economic slap at McBrain, stating, "Ron doesn't need economic advise. As evidenced by your answer to Dr. Paul's economics question two debates ago, you are in dire need of counsel. If you're going blather on about and vote on economics, I'm here to make you don't muck up our great Republic."
If McMurder had any self-respect, seeing that someone from Ron Paul's camp has joined his, he would feel more than a bit embarassed at such a slap. But again, if he had any self-respect, and a working brain between those jowls.
My two bits.

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

Actually, you're right. I was thinking the book, not the character. I guess I should have signed it Sancho Panza (sp???).

In truth, I have no idea why the man really over to McCain's side. Was he being altruistic, practical, self-serving, delusional? I have no idea and I have no evidence either way.

 

[ATS]

Fuck him. Moving on.....

 

[bg1654]

This actually makes some sense. I think its economic insurance that could limit the damage a McCain presidency, should it occur, could do. McCain has already been shown to be economically braindead and has stated many times, in a single answer no less, that he would rely on his advisors.

If he were to have RP-minded economic advisors, then we would effectively get an RP economic policy, provided McCain truely did listen. Now this would probably be overwhelmed by the McWar foreign policy, but at least it would limit the damage. Just think of what kind of damage would occur with business as usual economics plus the McWar foreign policy!

This is either a brilliant move or an individualist looking out for himself.

 

[Crickett]

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

Me too..there have been times lately, with all the 3rd party crap and ridiculous "ideas" I had to just get out of here.

 

[dbhohio47]

I think all the naysayers are missing the point.

Granted, it looks bad that he would suggested he would write RP in on tuesday....then leave for McCain's campaign on thursday. But, look at the big picture. Luskin's economic principles are close and consistent to RP's. The purpose of RP's presidential run was to EDUCATE people about his policy beliefs in an effort to move conventional wisdom in that direction. McCain, as frontrunner, is statistically pretty much assured the nomination. Luskin, who supports RP economic thinking, has been INVITED to participate as an advisor to McCain.... the Republican presidential nominee. THIS IS HUGE. McCain bringing on Luskin as an ecomonic advisor is a tacit approval by McCain of Ron's message. Short of a RP presidency (which was the longest of longshots to begin with), this is a major victory!

For RP its about the message, not the messenger. If McCain is beginning to comprehend the message.....and he is in a better position politically to DO something with it, then more power to Luskin.

 

[Crickett]

I am glad you wrote him and gave us this info so we could at least hear what he had to say.

I think they really made him an offer he could not refuse, and then he rationalized why he was going to do it. He will find himself quite alone, tho, in an enemy camp, with his principles attacked at every turn. I hope he knows what he is getting into, and can stand up to it.
