Thomas Massie, forum member & elected official, is running a winnable race; let's help!

[Adrock]

I am definitely in support of those who want more information. And if you choose not to support him, that is fine. We all have our standards, no matter how silly I might find them. But for all you jackasses going out of your way to bash him because you don't understand the nature of politics, and of winning, I have this to say:

Thank you!

Thank you for your generous donation!

How the hell do you people think Ron Paul got elected the first time. It wasn't by going around everywhere screaming "LEGALIZE DRUGS" at the top of his lungs.

Sincerely,

Who said that Massie should come out and say that drugs should be legalized? Nice straw man argument. He was criticized by some of us for not admitting to who he supports in the Presidential race. I don't expect him to agree with Ron on every single issue. I don't agree with Ron's positions on every issue either. But I would expect him to say that he supports Ron when asked about it, considering that he actually donated money to him in the past.

 

[Adrock]

Jebus. He was not asked who he supports for POTUS. He was asked if RP was the candidate he agree with the most. He then gave the same answer Rand does.

No, Rand would say that he agrees with Ron the most. Rand has some disagreements with Ron on foreign policy issues, but he's never disowned him.

Again, I'm just criticizing the comment he made. I'm not saying that he's a bad candidate or that people shouldn't donate money to him. Just to be clear.

Based on how Rand handled comments about Ron prior to his successful election, I think he would have said something more similar to Massie. His very first ad was a foreign policy ad, mostly showcasing views that contrasted Ron's.

When the media and our opponents are constantly misleading the electorate on Ron's foreign policy views, it's important to distance oneself from those misconstrued views. And from there, I do not think that it is Massie's role to clear confusion on Ron's foreign policies; at least not in an interview about his congressional race.

That is, if he wants to win. In the future, I think we'll hear him approach the topic in a slightly different way. I imagine he'll still say he doesn't agree with everything Ron has to say on foreign policy, but he will follow up with some key points:

• National Defense should be the first priority of the federal government
• We should only go to war if we declare war, define the objectives, win the war swiftly, and bring our troops home to further protect the nation

Already donated but I wish there were more senators for Paul.

 

[Todd]

I have talked to him numerous times before, but his answer concerning Ron Paul is troubling. I hope he clarifies his positions (that will ultimately decide my donation).

Troubling? What kind of clarification do you need?

Even straw men can be used to make a fucking point. If you want to keep trying to elect R.J. Harris quality candidates, then be my guest. I would rather make a fucking difference.

What's wrong with RJ Harris?

OK, I don't know what the issue is, but I tried to donate $20.12 and it didn't work. Checked the debit card, and it is fine. So I'll have to try again later.

How/where/why didn't it work?

 

[whoisjohngalt]

Do you plan on changing things by electing one liberty candidate?

One at a time.

Those of you saying he doesn't support Ron are being ridiculous. I know Thomas personally, and he is an ardent supporter of Ron Paul. He is also a politician and he understands what it takes to get elected. Yelling the truth at the top of his lungs but failing to get elected doesn't do our movement a whole lot of good in the 4th congressional district of Kentucky, unless there are some plans for nationally televised debates that I'm not aware of. I;m guessing that you guys are either confused, absolutists, or anarchists. Why don't you look at his record as County Judge Exec (Lewis County) instead of judging him on one interview? Actions speak a lot louder than words. Someday, you will all realize that we can pander to the neocons with words and then implement libertarian policy. Let's call it the Rand Paul Plan. The neocon politicians have been doing it for a long time, and we are going to have to get a little dirty to accomplish our goals.

How/where/why didn't it work?

I have no idea. First it went freaky when I tried to put in my information before going to the pay part, and didn't process, then the next time it went past that part but wouldn't let me pay. The whole thing canceled. That's why I checked the card because sometimes they decide I'm doing something they consider unlike me and that it must be someone who stole my card. Or that's what they say anyhow... but there was nothing wrong with the card. I've never tried to do a donation by debit card before though, maybe it just needs to be credit or paypal. My paypal account says I need to check in and give them a debit card (even though I always do bank transfer) and I havn't done it yet, is all. It isn't a huge deal, If I have to I'll update paypal and use that. But I thought there might be something wrong with his page.

Or someone like BJ Lawson who continually runs in a liberal district.

Oh, maybe putting out press releases bashing Rand Paul and dividing the movement - right at the moment when both of them most needed support to actually get elected? And then, naturally, losing catastrophically? There were hundreds of targets more deserving and strategically beneficial.

BJ is spectacular. His practice is there. Although, I wish he were open to North Dakota, which needs a new Senator.
