Jesse Benton: Ron Paul NOT Dropping Out of the Race

[rb3b3]

wow!!! i know all of you are not that dumb!!!! i have got alot of information from alot of my new friends here at rpf since i joined!! lets take a look at this a little more closely...much of our recent success at these state conventions, has been due to the media and thier spin creating a narrative that romney has won the republican race... Much of this narrative was created by the media when rick and newt dropped out of the race. The msm announced basically that romney won, and ever since then we have been absolutely killing it!!!! why?? because the romney supporters are following the msm narrative and have been staying home!!!!! the campaign put this press release out knowing the msm would spin it even more saying ron paul has "basically" officially dropped out of the race!! so what does this mean??? EVEN MORE romney supporters will stay home and the ron paul supporters will do what they always do, bust their behinds to get ron elected by SHOWING up to these conventions!!!!! Only now we will be fighting less and less people at these upcoming conventions!! this is brilliant timing to put a press release out to the media now like they did!!! we have major conventions coming up this weekend and i will guarantee you this press release will HELP us ALOT more then it will hurt because the romney delegates will just sit the conventions out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! COME ON GUYS YOUR ALL SMARTER THEN THIS!!!!! NO ONE BUT PAUL 2012!!! HE WILL KILL IT AGAIN THIS WEEKEND!!! LETS DO THIS!!!

pretty sure RP is not the one leading what is being said, sent, etc...its his staff leadership that is bumbling these communications issues...his job is not to run the campaign..or pass out fliers, send emails whatever...there's no need to blame RP , he has plenty on his plate...

I beg to differ. The candidate has almost noting on his plate. His staff does just about everything and he gives the final yea or nay. Other than that, he makes speeches and does interviews. That's it. So, if Jesse Benton releases a press statement like this turd, Ron either gave approval, or he allowed Jesse to freelance. And remember, Jesse was incompetent last campaign. If Ron kept him on, family or not, it's entirely on him. He is responsible for the people he hires.

Ron either comes out publicly disavowing the press release as poorly worded and giving the wrong impression, or in fact, he agrees with what the press is saying. The candidate is responsible for this. Always.

And if Ron is worried about what his supporters are doing at conventions, then he should be more worried about the old guard trying to steal conventions away from his supporters by breaking the rules. Time for Ron to grow a pair and get behind us. We took a state for him twice in NV, and both times he expressed "concern." Well, F that.

He's got people busting their asses for his campaign, and he still gives mealy mouthed answers about his campaign and what he wants. He is willing to throw us under the bus. All I will say is that Ron is right on his positions and that's why I have supported and worked for him three times now. But he may be the worst tactician in the history of politics. The R party will only respect someone who can take their power away. And by backing off, he is marginalizing himself and us.

Well we did boo Romney's son..that was disrespectful.

On the other hand, Paul was very supportive on the St. Cloud, Missouri win and even called the chair up at a bar rally to congratulate him and everyone else on speaker phone. That was awesome.
