Peden is no threat!

[electronicmaji]

Are we kidding ourselves here, yes give money to the Ron Paul Congressional run, support him, and when the Congressional election comes go down there and canvas for the man. But were talking about a place where Paul won last time with over 60% of the vote. He has astounding support in Austin, outside his district, who can easily help him in the grassroots. He has many loyal followers in the 14th district and is genuinly loved by the people there. Peden has NOTHING on Paul, hes a pitiful and disgraceful, silly little man, who can't even DREAM of touching Ron Paul.


Pauls competing in a Presidential Election, and a unknownthinks he can beat him in the primaries for congress? Its a utter joke.

I wouldn't want to be Peden :p. I'm a pacifist...but those Montana type guys may not be...I would be scared shitless!

[RonPaulFanInGA]

Pe*** is not going anywhere. Paul beat his last primary opponent, Cynthia Sinatra, by 56 points...and that was with her spending almost the exact same amount of money on her campaign as Pe*** this time around (Sinatra gave her campaign 150,000 dollars of her own money).

I truely believe Paul will easily win on March 4th and that we shouldn't get so stressed out about this. I think it will be around 65-35 for Paul.

That said, do donate to ronpaulforcongress.com. Better safe than sorry.

Paul cannot use the Presidential campaign money for his Congressional campaign.

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0108/7917.html

Jan 15, 2008


But Paul has a vast stockpile of campaign cash at his disposal, thanks to his fundraising success in this year’s presidential bid. He raised about $19 million in the last quarter, and, if he chooses to, he can transfer that money into his congressional treasury.

Paul campaign spokesman Mark Elam indicated that Paul was planning on spending money from his presidential campaign on his House reelection bid. He went up on the airwaves Tuesday with his first advertisement, a radio spot touting his biography and legislative accomplishments.

Elam added that the campaign polled Paul’s popularity in the district last month, which showed him with an approval rating over 70 percent. And it is still unclear whether Peden will be able to raise enough money to mount a serious campaign — he raised an anemic $12,000 last quarter.

Despite his divergence from much of the Republican Party platform — a libertarian, Paul is a vocal critic of the war in Iraq and has frequently been a lone GOP vote on foreign policy items — Paul has managed to win reelection comfortably since his 1996 election to Congress, never winning less than 55 percent of the vote.

No Democrats filed to run against Paul, so a primary win would be tantamount to winning reelection.

Yes he can.

The only way he can use the money from the Presidential race if he drops out of the Presidential race. Do you really want him to do that? !!!

No, Ron Paul has around 200k in the bank. He can't use his money from his Presidential campaign. They are pretty much equal and Peden is running some very negative attack ads.

Nothing is for sure. Please donate to his congressional campaign.

Well that article just says it all doesn't it.

If it gets close to the primary and a win looks questionable, Ron Paul need but put out a call to arms and hordes of canvassers would converge on his district.

we can run some attack ads of our own...

[PaleoConservative]

I look at the idiots who post at RedState thank God for enemies like them. They make no attempt to debate the merits of Dr. Paul's stances. They only personally attack them.

What we should do to flip the middle finger at RedState for good is forum or own redstate forum. We have a good one here, but we need like a paleo-conservative/libertarian forum.

If anyone knows of any good ones mail me on here.

Thanks.

He has millions in the bank for his presidential race; not his congressional race. It's my understanding that he cannot use the funds for the pres. race for his congressional run. That means, if we want him to have enough money to defend his congressional seat, we need to donate:

Trouble is, he is basically trying to compete *as* 'Ron Paul', but with dose of war thrown in. Remember, it's not the general that's the problem here, it's the Republican primary. The general people in his district, when he's up against a Democrat, vote for him no worries. It's the Republicans within his district that are the worry, and if the McCainites, Romneyites, and Huckabees, and the Ghoulianis, and the Thompsons supporters, in CD-14 all get behind this guy in the Republican pre-selection race, it could be difficult for Dr Paul.

You don't think the neo-cons supporters of the knocked out, and even still remaining, candidates, have a grudge against Dr Paul for showing them all to be non-conservatives?

It happened in Australia a couple of months back, if I recall. The Prime Minister was similarly attacked, and lost his own seat!


I have a post with a strong letter written to Chris Peden. Take a look, and let me know what you think of it:

Never underestimate the opposition. The presidential campaign has provided ammunition that Peden can use against Paul in a Republican primary.

We need to take this challenge as seriously as Dr. Paul does. I've sent my donation -- have you?

As you all know, Ron Paul is in a race for more than his calling as President of the United States of America. He is also being challenged in the March 4th Texas primary for his seat in Congress. We must not let this seat fall to the Neo-Con(victs) regime. Help blast this caveman primary challenger back under his rock, where all plebes belong.

CHIPIN TO SAVE RON'S SEAT: http://ronpaulforcongress.chipin.com/pro-ron-paul-for-congress-ads



First and foremost, check out what he has to say about his campaign:

http://www.chrispeden.org/

Now, do you notice anything that he's running on? HE'S NOT RON PAUL!

Yes, and in Ron's district, that is a bad thing. He is loved in his district. So here we have it... we buy up radio, TV, Newspaper spots...

Chris Peden is NOT Ron Paul.
He doesn't vote like Ron Paul.
He isn't respected by Congress like Ron Paul.

Chris Peden is more of the same.
Chris Peden will increase the size of Government
Chris Peden... bad for America, Bad for the District, Bad for the Party.
Chris Peden supports taxing you to fund missions to Mars.
Chris Peden supports the war.
Chris Peden is a CPA... you think he wants to eliminate taxes... what if doing so would eliminate his job?

This is your mission. SINK HIM.

The Paulunteer - Today's Grassroots Update
Paul still has about $6 Million in the bank, set to spend $700K in Texas
Posted: 10 Feb 2008 11:47 AM CST
From The Houston Chronicle:
…Benton said that even as Paul wages a primary campaign he will also continue running his presidential campaign in Texas. Three staffers will be assigned to his presidential effort here. He said that the Paul campaign has purchased about $700,000 worth of radio and cable television advertising that is scheduled to start running this week in the Houston, Austin and Dallas-Fort Worth markets.
Benton said that Paul still has about $6 million in his presidential election account. He said the lawmaker cannot transfer that money to his congressional campaign unless he terminates his presidential effort, which he does not intend to do.
But Benton said Paul had recently raised several hundred thousand dollars for his congressional race.

[itshappening]

dont get complacent, he still needs to rally support and motivate people to come out and support him to see off this threat, the minute you get complacent a nasty surprise could happen


URGENT

The fascists from 'RedState' and 'FreeRepublic' are trying to unseat Ron Paul in Congress!

look at the nasty things they're saying:

RedState:

---
Ron Paul is racing back to his district to battle back against Chris Peden, the Mayor Pro Temp of Friendswood, Texas.

You know, having spent the past year bashing Jews, Republicans, the military, and the United States, it's great to see Ron Paul forced to flee the field.

I think Chris Peden might could use some money to keep up the fight against the anti-war movement's favorite Martian
---

and on freerepublic:

---
If any FReeper wants to send Rep. Ron Paul into retirement, please go to his able Republican Primary opponent, Chris Peden's website and donate as generously as you can.

* For full disclosure, I'm working on Chris' campaign. If you have questions about Chris' background or position on an issue that are not apparent on his website, FReep mail me and I'll try to get back to you with an answer or forward it on to Chris, if I can't answer it myself. I can assure you that Chris is solid on issues that most FReepers care deeply about. We are all working hard to unseat Rep. Ron Paul this Primary, as there is no Democrat that has filed. So our November is in March, less than a month away and we will be Paulbot free in TX CD 14.
