Tom Woods to join Ron Paul's big project

[LibertyEagle]

Time to just get over it LE.

Nah, I think I will remember it. I will forgive him, but I will never forget it. History has a bad habit of being repeated.

Fine. But now you are becoming like the people you've been attacking for attacking Benton. Think about it.

Perhaps you should have that discussion with green behind the gills.

 

[FreeHampshire]

So what's the speculation concerning this announcement?

web programing. beyond that, no clue. If you hear more, let us know!

Given Beck is gearing up a pseudo libertarian site and will have to pull in some of the real deal to have anything remotely approaching credibility, it is a good thing Ron signed Tom up first, imho.

I don't think there's a chance Woods would have worked for Beck.

Why? Is he attacking Tom Woods now? The point is, if you don't like folks attacking people Ron has chosen to work with, then don't attack someone Ron has chosen to work with. If Tom Woods is fair game even now, then don't complain next time someone rips Benton.

The problem is while Tom has a brilliant mind he isn't very good at communicating with your typical GOP voter... indeed he prefers to ridicule them.

I still like him though and whatever this is will play well with the base but will it win us new friends?

Agree.

In an educational setting why is there particular need to focus on the Gop primary voter?

I presume Ron's plan to continually educate people is steeped in some form of eventual activism on their part after the fact, at some point. At the top of the list of activism, among other things, is likely the bolstering of our ranks in reforming the GOP from the bottom up so that DC can be plunged for once. I mean, why would Ron back off his plan to restore the GOP that he started 5 years ago esp since his son is a heavy hitter these days..

Right. All the education in the world is meaningless if one does not do something with the knowledge they have gained.

Are you being serious. He is one of the only moderate people we have. He speaks to all the ex-republicans. He isn't crass or harsh to listen to. Plus he holds the degrees for the universities most of the public takes serious.

Tom Woods attacked Ron's campaign. Benton didn't. HUGE difference.

Still, I said he had useful qualities and I hoped he used them in this project. If you want internet fallatio performed on him, you will have to do it yourself.

 

[green73]

Obvious RP sees it differently than our esteemed member above. Perhaps he realizes Benton is a jerk as well?

I didn't say that. You did.

 

[specsaregood]

This will probably really bug LibertyEagle.

And with this unnecessary provocation, the thread immediately takes a predictable turn for the worse and a debate of personalities instead of a positive thread talking about the possibilities. Perhaps next time post the content, discuss the subject and avoid making it personal with snipes about other rpf members.

I suspect Ron is keeping the torch going which draws people in to begin with, and that would mean continuing spreading the message as he always had. The campaign may have been over as to the nomination in April, but he was drawing an average of 5,000 people to every event and more and more people were tuning in.

Just as our candidates, in office, find it hard to get things done when they are surrounded with establishment murk the institutional existence of which pushes back, if the people really want this, the politicians will find themselves needing to cater to it.

Ron already said it himself: "I am not just trying to win an election, I am trying to change the course of history!"

Then when people are tuned in, they will look around for the best candidates and find them, but those candidates aren't lighting the sort of torch that brings in the mass of Americans that don't even tune into primaries - yet.

Ron's supporters, many of us, came out of 'nowhere' as far as primary polling goes.

And that's why I'm so pumped about Ron's "retirement" activities. Instead of playing bridge or golf, his hobby of purveying educationally induced activism is so inspiring. No doubt about it he's Founding Father material and then some.
