Quoting: Anonymous Coward 15456136 If RP doesn't want to spend a dime in the remaining primaries, fine, dont, its an intelligent move really, but STFU old man. The only thing he accomplished with this announcement is give ammunition to the Romney/Obama camps. I love the guy but sometimes i wonder if he really understands how the game is played. On the plus side, MSM had "finally" something to say about him. Might remind those sleeping that Paul is still in the race, that is if they take the time to actually read the articles not just the headlines. So perhaps he does know how the game is played. He cant give up. He cannot tell people to rise against the establishment only to drop out. Not being this close after fighting for decades. IT DOES NOT MAKE FUCKING SENSE. I wish the haters would understand this, unless they're shills... they understand better than anyone. The weird thing is that this self-destructing announcement comes right after meeting with the Bernank. Also, why continue fighting for the nomination of a party in which the leadership hates his guts and will lie, steal, and cheat to deny him a fair chance? Things are not adding up. What does RP really want? What are his true motives? Why try so hard to BE in the establishment while claiming to be ANTI-establishment? I think RP is the last homes politician standing, though I wouldn't be surprised that ulterior motives were revealed down the road that proved him otherwise ::sigh:: |

So much for freedom! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 16096213 free speech is one thing, utter bollocks, quite another Except when Ron Paul says some crap, then if it is not pinned all the Ron Paul cult yells about lack of freedom. Sorry, the Ron Paul crowd is tyrannical and this attitude proves it. Move along now, tyrant. We don't want your fascist ideology. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 8936539 United States 05/15/2012 10:58 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A libertarian organization that paid for plane tickets and other expenses for Rep. Ron Paul says after an audit that the Texas Republican defrauded the group for about $20,000. The group is pushing Paul for repayment and exploring legal remedies. The Liberty Committee, a nonprofit headed by former Paul aide David James, said in an April 16 letter that about two-thirds of the 63 airline tickets the group reimbursed Paul for were also paid for by taxpayers. “In short, this practice of double or duplicate billing enriched you while draining funds intended for legitimate projects,” the letter read. Melanie Sloan, the president of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, said the House Ethics Committee should investigate. Although the double-billed flights from 1998 to 2005 “fall outside of the Ethics Committee’s statute of limitations, given the long-standing pattern of behavior, the Ethics Committee should investigate on its own as to whether Paul continued this conduct in more recent years,” Sloan said.

Spending to get and keep notoriety which TPTB are denying you through a media blackout = wasting money. The fire has been lit, let it continue to burn in a most productive way. Stop playing their game on their turf with their rules. You can't win that way. Double down on what is working. Keep going Ron Paul and his supporters. This is nothing more than a turn to the more serious issues. Keep up the good fight. Freedom! |

"Doing so with any hope of success would take many tens of millions of dollars we simply do not have. I encourage all supporters of liberty to make sure you get to the polls and make your voices heard, particularly in the local, state and congressional elections, where so many defenders of freedom are fighting and need your support."

SHR Forum Administrator 05/15/2012 11:49 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This thread has been pinned to death by the mods amongst us who come to us from the land of spooks.. they want so bad for this to be true. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 10463447 A change in strategy does not suggest he's dropping out. Oh don't get your panties in a wad, it was big enough news. In fact, some of the most telling news was paultards all flipping out running all over to twatter every twat they could all squealing AHHH HE'S NOT DROPPING OUT!!!... But as usual....you all missed the real point. I suppose the real point is & I'm sure you'll correct me if I'm "wrong" Ron Paul has decided he's not going to waste any more money trying to prove himself to a media that refuses to acknowledge he's there.. Ron Paul could be the only man on the stage and they still wouldn't admit they'd ever heard of him. No..."The real point" is that obviously Ron Paul could not make a command decision if his freakin life depended on it. Ok so I'm sort of ending the active campaign and I am only going to campaign in states I've already lost....erp, no that's not it....uuuummmm...I am suspending the active....ummm...Ok so...I am going to stop "spending resourses?...ahh that's it!...ok so we are going to stop spending resources in any states there are elections coming up in....hmmmm...in states "that haven't voted yet"...Woo hoo...there it is, clear as mud. "We are going to stop campaigning in states that we haven't already lost and continue with the "mastertardical plan" in the states we have already lost"...there it is boyz, polish that up and launch it!...Nappy time! Then Paultards wig out and turn into a flock of stoopit pigeons that someone just tossed a loaf of stale bread into and wail all around the interwebz twattering every source to death that wrote anything so heinious as "Ron Paul effectively ends campaining" ....duh...which he did ya goofs, because the only people on earth that think Ron Phool's master plan of losing every single state is winning are the RP cult zombies and the people who still believe Peter Pan is REAL.. THEY know it isn't real either and they are well aware that Paultards have become a liability. They are only attempting to wind you down in baby steps so the paultards don't flip out with DT's from cold turkey withdrawl and wig out and turn on him. Why do you think they gave thier blessings and full green light for the RNC to go ahead with the "Victory fund" and get behind Romney?...ever see one single complaint from anyone else BUT the paultards?...anything from the actual campaign about that?....Bueller?....no you don't do you... Ron Paul isn't dumb...he's going to let you all think that he's actually behind the "Plan to nowhere" and "with" you paultards so you buy into his sincerity and then he's going to pull the plug. That'll happen right after the last primary on June 5th exactly when it was always going to happen. Some droopy assed "Statement" about how you all really whooped ass with the scary brilliant strategy, buy my books!...stick with me and follow my "message" which in real life means keep being my drool & squeal squad and toddling after anyone I sic you on like a good group of cultbots....standby to yell and scream like a pack of goofs when and where I tell yas to and await my commands. Face it, that what you are all about and what you all erally like anyway. Ron Paul is the last person on earth that really wants to be the president of the United states and anyone with have a brain knows that. Like he's really up for carrying the burden of THAT job...lol...yeah sure. It's all about screaming and squealing about the very same thing that drew you all to Ron Paul in the first place. You don't like the "system", "The Process", "The Status quo" whatever you wish to call it. Pointing a finger at it and screaming like a load of dysfunctional fucktards because you don't like it. The reason you all don't "like it" is the very same reason Ron Paul is your hero. You have failed at being able to make it work for you to accomplish a single fucking thing, just like him. So Ron Phail sits in the corner saying "You suck, that's unconstitutional!" playing Dr No and you all gathered around him like the bunch of spazzy kids that couldn't play ball with the big boys all whinning about they all suck, how that ball game is really stupid anyway and those other kids are doodyheads blah blah blah the same shit the spaz kids always say. You invent your own "cool game", but you know it isn't really that cool and you'd rather play ball, but you just aren't up to the challenge. And then to make things worse? the girls all came by and laughed at you and THEN one of the other kids came over and pulled your pants down....lol!... but one day you'll get them back...then they'll see...THEN THEY'LL SEE!!!
