This is good news. It has to make Cynicom eating a lot of crow. Apparently Jethro already ate a big portion yesterday.
I would like to take up a collection for Cyni so he can get some medical help to try and overcome his hatred of Ron Paul. Anyone who would like to donate, just say so. Cyni has been carrying a lot of hatred for the past 4 years and I worry about his health.
I'm still eating crow this morning. I just watched a 'tube from the OK Republican convention. The Paul people got dumped over by the establishment, and RP issues a statement that "we" have to show more respect and decorum at such events? Respect and decorum have given us a $15 trillion dollar debt and "we" should be rightfully pissed at the establishment for putting us here. The establishment GOP'ers, at any level, deserve a boot in the ass and that's what I signed up for. I was left at the altar once again by Mr. Manners.
The Kings English is not understood by far too many people.
To assuage their misery from being left at the alter one more time, they pretend Ron did not say what he said.
Ron Paul was running for Rand Paul from day one, some need to accept that fact and get over it. It is not that the majority had a great deal of money or effort in it anyway.
"Ron Paul sent an e-mail to supporters Monday saying he would..... stop campaigning in states that haven't voted yet,....... but he's still trying to "win delegates, and carry a strong message to the Republican National Convention that Liberty is the way of the future." In other words, he's taking on the strategy that everyone plotted out as the only real way forward weeks ago: leveraging his delegate count to get his campaign issues heard at the convention........ (or maybe get his son Rand Paul more prominence.)....... Essentially, he's embraced a reality under which everyone else has been operating.......
There was absolutely no reason for his campaign to say a thing. We all knew the game plan, or so I thought. I'm thinking this thing has gotten away from him and that he doesn't want his name associated with what is going to happen at Tampa this August. I'm reading with him, or without, the Paul delegates are going to raise hell. At least it could make for good TeeVee.
