Former Ron Paul Campaign Coordinator Declares Against Him


but yet he is going to support that dam Rudy

While everyone is hailing this as a "Great moment" for Rudy Giuliani, I think just as importantly, it was a horrible moment for Ron Paul.

It's irrelevant, basically. This guy Dondero is a pro-war 'libertarian', and has been viciously against Paul since he declared.

Reason: Your former staffer Eric Dondero is challenging you for your House seat in 2008.

Paul: He's a disgruntled former employee who was fired.

Reason: But he says he's running because of your debate performance. So is this presidential campaign weakening your standing in your district?

Paul: Well, if it affects my standing in my district then I wouldn't be a very good candidate for the presidency. If these views are popular, and I think they're popular enough, then they should be popular in my home district. They've been hearing me saying this for a lot of years and I keep getting re-elected rather easily. I think politicians are always concerned about how they're doing in their district, but right now, if Eric Dondero is the only thing I have to worry about, then I don't have a lot to worry about.

Reason: What Dondero's said is that "there are essentially two Ron Pauls. There's the national liberal media (and libertarian blogosphere) Ron Paul. And then there's the South Texas good hometown doctor, red, white, and blue Ron Paul." And he's said you talk a good game about supporting veterans but they don't know your positions.

Paul: All one would have to do is go to the veterans part of my website. I win so many awards; we have so many people who call us from around the country because of the work we do for veterans. My biggest beef is that the veterans get shortchanged because of our war spending, and we end up with Walter Reed problems. So that statement makes zero sense.

I ran across Dondero before I knew he had a pre-existing relationship with RP. Even then, I thought he was goofy.

Now it looks like he is driving traffic to his sites by using the good doctor's name.

Whatever.

"He (Paul) had the audacity to cite OBL"

-Eric D.


OMG. How in hell is it wrong to cite your enemy when you are trying to figure out your enemies motivations for being your enemy?

Is it true that Dondero was the guy who wrote the "racist statements" that have now been attributed to Dr. Paul, and that that was the reason for his firing? If not, what was the reasoning? I've heard this rumored, but nothing hard on it. Anyone have better inside info?

He probably isn't the real Eric Dondero and is just a troll who made up a website.

Maybe Dondero was the one who wrote the racial remarks and was fired for it, and was an infiltrator who joined RP in order to try and tarnish his image. Anything is possible. Politics can be dirty. Now he is backing Guido, shows what he is made of.

Eric Dondero has been a notorious jackass for years now. Just ignore him.

Dondero is a foul mouthed jerk. Go to Reason's Hit-n-Run blog, and search for stories on Ron Paul or Eric Dondero. Eric there cussing out everyone in sight in a very vicious way.

Neither. It's a non-issue.
