Sounds like damn smart politics, to me.

These organizations are bigger than Ron Paul. It's not about RP, it's about his ideas.

[Keith and stuff]

The article says "Between the 2008 and 2012 campaigns, both nonprofits were stocked with Paul aides and relatives." It then goes on to list a few cases of this happening with C4L. It doesn't list a single case of it happening with YAL. Sorry critics but YAL rocks. YAL isn't about supporting Ron Paul. YAL isn't even directly, actively involved in elections at all. Of course, most of the YAL leaders I know are Ron Paul supporters, on a personal level. But I do know one YAL leader that supports Gary Johnson. I know another YAL leader that is a Democrat.

“Individual liberty, constitutional government, sound money, free markets and a noninterventionist foreign policy” — a tidy summation of Paul’s campaign platform.

I think the thing that people have to realize is the source of all these futile attacks on Dr. Paul are coming from the establishment and their mouthpiece, the "main-stream" media. There is a huge anti-establishment sentiment across the country. The more these guys keep desperately trying to throw dirt on Ron Paul's good name I believe they may actually motivate some people to at least support him with a vote in the primaries. I'm really starting to think that, much like their attempts to marginalize him in the beginning, that they may be helping Ron Paul by blatantly attacking him with whatever they can come up with and drawing more attention to him than he would have received otherwise.

The ruling oligarchs want to crush this entire movement. They will label everything done in the name of liberty as racist. It has been the collectivist strategy from day one and works well for them. Will it be effective this time?

[ZanZibar]

These articles are laughable, not to mention inaccurate on a few details.

[Dorfsmith]

This attack is pure desperation. Saw it this morning and found it humorous.

[JamesButabi]

You smell that? *sniff* *sniff*


Yep.....sure reeks of desperation.

Coming up next on Faux news, quixotic diminutive longshot candidate Ron Paul supports Unicorn murder.

[kylejack]

CREW is generally pretty good. They're crushing a lot of scumbag politicians.

[ZanZibar]

The other thing is, why are they even bothering with attacks over Christmas weekend?! No one is paying attention.

[sailingaway]

They are trying to dampen youthful enthusiasm.

[sailingaway]

Sounds like damn smart politics, to me.

all of the candidates' political pacs do that, by default. The difference with Ron's is it was actually pushing ISSUES like trying to derail the Patriot Act and get the Federal Reserve audited.

[FreeTraveler]

Wah! Ron Paul doesn't play fair!

He organizes his supporters to show up at straw polls and vote for him, thereby invalidating the whole straw-poll process.

He understands the ground game in the caucus states and works hard to build voter loyalty, thereby invalidating the entire caucus process.

And now we find out he's been actively working since the last election to educate voters on the issues he thinks are most important, which must surely represent a perversion of the whole intent of education.

What a scoundrel. :rolleyes:

So they write a news paper article?..... LoLl FAIL

Yep, nothing but whining that they can't control the elections.

[seapilot]

Next they will probably attack his age if he starts winning. That will drive all the seniors to vote for him in Florida.

[Blue]

WaPo with another lame article.

Ron's family are trustworthy, which he has learned he needs when others are writing under his name, and don't exactly get paid a fortune. This isn't like Gingrich's machine.

Paul may be older than the other candidates, but he is still in great and better shape. He bikes or jogs pretty much everyday and was a track star when he was younger. I would bet a gold coin that he would beat Newt's fat ass in any sort of biking or running race.

QFT. Of course the smear campaign is backfiring. The tide has turned and they haven't noticed!

Well, actually, they still can - with help from some little black boxes. :(

[sailingaway]

Last I checked C4L had over 600,000 members, don't know how many YAL has, but a lot.

[CUnknown]

Let me get this straight ... according to the article, the "Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington" is criticizing Ron Paul?? They should be taking notes!!

Plan A - ignore him - seemed not to be working in Iowa
