Ron Paul's Goodbye

By Jeff Rense
2-9-8

The real issue now is that Ron Paul is effectively out of the race ....whether he directly came out and said it or not. In his statement of thanks to his supporters (see below), he also announced he's cutting his staff way back. The message is clear. The last Ron Paul 'money bomb' showed a substantial loss of support momentum...which was/is largely the result of his complete public disassociation and denouncement of the entire 911 Truth Movement during that national 'debate' several weeks ago. That was either a bald-faced, enormous, lie to try to keep himself politically 'alive' ... OR that is HIS truth. Either way, it cost him a lot of support. We know several Ron Paul backers who dropped him at that moment... and it was reflected in the failed, subsequent fundraising. His poor showing (absolutely expected) in the primaries was the final truth his devoted supporters had to swallow: the system is totally owned and operated by the controllers. Period. Many Paulites will now walk away from this obviously, hopelessly corrupt and manipulated political charade in America...and will never look back. Some will stay. Ron announced."I am a Republican, and I will remain a Republican"and will not leave the party to run as an independent. (A Paul-Kucinich ticket would have at least been FUN). WHAT Republican party?? That was a lamentable statement to read. Ron must be thinking it is still the Republican Party of the 19th century. The Republican 'party' NOW stands for the BIG LIE, it stands for CRIME and DEATH, for GENOCIDE and PERVERSION, for TAXATION and GRAFT, for the FED and FINANCIAL RAPE, for DOMESTIC SPYING and the PATRIOT ACT, ...it stands for the end of LIBERTY and of our CONSTITUTION. Above all, it now stands for Zionism and WAR. That statement alone probably ended about half of his remaining support. As we said many months ago, if he does NOT run as an independent, he will effectively put 'finis' to great portion of the majority of patriotic passion and commitment of the small, brave patriotic awakening he awakened in this rat hole political paradigm. And if the controllers are as smart as we think, they may well have orchestrated much of the 'Paul phenomena' to ultimately send the message, yet again, that 'resistance is futile!' Ron said he needs to go home to Texas and work for his re-election to the House. That's a wise decision because the enemies of freedom and the Constitution, knowing all along he never had a chance in hell of gaining the nomination, will now try to unseat him...and they can do so if it be their will. Ask Cynthia McKinney. So, even though he says he's 'still in the race' it is totally meaningless. Publicly, via his disassociation from 911 Truth, he is 'officially' standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Bush/Cheney and Zionism on 911. He had a GREAT opportunity to bring 911 Truth forward during the campaign...and chose to hide it. And, God forbid, if he really spoke HIS truth in the debate about the whole 911 issue, he is clearly, totally, disconnected from the biggest reality of our time: that 911 was an inside job. Sad to see him give it up...but it was totally predictable and comes as no surprise. For his die-hard supporters and those who cherish America's nearly vanquished past magnificence, keep at it. Work at the local level...run for office... just know that the clock is ticking and the enemies of Freedom stand all around us and often in between us. Of all the great American political leaders who sacrificed their lives for freedom, Ron chose, instead, to quote the zionist maniac killer Communist Trotsky about the 'revolution being permanent.' A strange choice. The statement could have been made without the need to acknowledge a Bolshevik madman. In any case, the 'Ron Paul Revolution' is over... now just a footnote, an asterisk, in the grim record of these darkening times. Certainly, some will endeavor to carry on his themes...something the CIA/NSA supercomputer models knew and predicted long ago. Ron Paul is a grand anachronism...a principled man out of time, as it were. He truly made a difference. And for that we owe him much.

Ron Paul - 'There Will Be
No Third Party Run'
Turns Attention To Keeping His Congressional Seat

Message from Ron Paul
2-9-8

Whoa! What a year this has been. And what achievements we have had. If I may quote Trotsky of all people, this Revolution is permanent. It will not end at the Republican convention. It will not end in November. It will not end until we have won the great battle on which we have embarked. Not because of me, but because of you. Millions of Americans -- and friends in many other countries -- have dedicated themselves to the principles of liberty: to free enterprise, limited government, sound money, no income tax, and peace. We will not falter so long as there is one restriction on our persons, our property, our civil liberties. How much I owe you. I can never possibly repay your generous donations, hard work, whole-hearted dedication and love of freedom. How blessed I am to be associated with you. Carol, of course, sends her love as well. Let me tell you my thoughts. With Romney gone, the chances of a brokered convention are nearly zero. But that does not affect my determination to fight on, in every caucus and primary remaining, and at the convention for our ideas, with just as many delegates as I can get. But with so many primaries and caucuses now over, we do not now need so big a national campaign staff, and so I am making it leaner and tighter. Of course, I am committed to fighting for our ideas within the Republican party, so there will be no third party run. I do not denigrate third parties -- just the opposite, and I have long worked to remove the ballot-access restrictions on them. But I am a Republican, and I will remain a Republican. I also have another priority. I have constituents in my home district that I must serve. I cannot and will not let them down. And I have another battle I must face here as well. If I were to lose the primary for my congressional seat, all our opponents would react with glee, and pretend it was a rejection of our ideas. I cannot and will not let that happen. In the presidential race and the congressional race, I need your support, as always. And I have plans to continue fighting for our ideas in politics and education that I will share with you when I can, for I will need you at my side. In the meantime, onward and upward! The neocons, the warmongers, the socialists, the advocates of inflation will be hearing much from you and me. Sincerely, Ron

I'm re-registering from R to CP tomorrow.

I registered from Independent to Republican (I was a Republican during most of the 80s, registered I during the Bush-Clinton-Bush years to recently) and never had a problem as a GOP delegate all these years.

The Party left me, but there's a Party worthy of my support, but NOT guaranteed my vote.

The best man for America gets my VOTE.

I didn't read the article, just the title. Ask me why if you really want to know.

I suspect that maybe Ron Paul was threatened.

Then I also have other ideas, but some things are better left unsaid.

Personally I'm disappointed, but not surprised.

The idea's unstoppable - the human spirit indomitable (sp?) and the collective mind will prevail.

I am reasonably certain he was forced out and then kookified.

I agree.

_______: I'm looking to the Constitution Party nominee as well.

That's the party I'm switching to and they will get my vote from now on.

I thought at the time that there might be pressure on Perot to bow out. How does a mere Billionaire fight against Trillionaires?

For now I am keeping my Libertarian registration, but I will vote Constitution Party if they field a good candidate.

I will be voting for the constitution party candidate.

I know they had a woman running in the Primary. I don't know if she will get the nomination or not. Everyone at the central committee meeting seemed to be supporting her.

That would be something I could get behind. (Stop groaning.)

Seriously, a gutsy REAL Woman squaring off against the wannabe Dyketator Hitlery would not only be entertaining it would neutralize the idiots who are voting for Hitlery solely because "Iwannawoman". Of course it might hurt their heads because it force them to actually look at the issues.

Ron Paul is a human like everyone else. He is not immune from the pressure of threats against his family. I would not even blame him for stopping for those reasons.

Sure, but there were no threats needed. All that was needed is for Ron Paul to continue not getting delegates. Any PTB's would not need to go to the levels you suggest. Why would they, and risk exposure unnecessarily.

If that were the case, he would retire from politics completely, just to be safe.

I mean, who in their right mind would yield to threats about running for prez and still run for congress?

He was telling the truth on the floor of Congress and via his legislation for decades and they didn't care. Even let him win his District over and again.

Ron Paul was the last life raft leaving the Titanic and he shoved off saving himself. That is you and me standing at the rail, with nothing.

You're correct Cyni. Again, we are left with the Final Option. I've already stated this along with quotes from Thomas Jefferson and Patrick Henry. The time for politics is over. Amerika is on a ventilator....there is NO more time to act within the System.

ya know, I've read about enough of this bullshit. what a freakin' joke. when has anyone ever done anything worth a shit on a "Third Party" ticket? answer - never. and as for this goddamn Perot genuflecting, give me a fkn' break. he'd be as irrelavant as Nader if he hadn't been spookdaddy's little bitch. wobbly petitioned the CPD to bend the rules and let him into the debates, and that's the only reason he pulled the percentage of votes that he did. right, like the two chosen frauds are going to ask to bend the 15% rule to let Ron anywhere near the final debates if he would go third party. or maybe David Icke's mystical millionaires would beam down all that cash they're sitting on just waiting for him to make his move. pffftttt! oh, wait. I forgot that he is one of "THEM", ya' know. pmlol!

"It's a little bit early to write us off, but I'm not making any predictions that we're going to run away with it, either," he said. "We're going to be continuing the process to remind Republicans what the conservative philosophy is all about."

Paul's spokesman Jesse Benton said the national staff would likely be reduced from 150 to about 50, with those who worked in the Super Tuesday primaries in states such as California being let go.

In addition, Benton said, he and other national staffers will transfer to Paul's congressional re-election operation.

But 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.

Ron has said repeatedly that he is an "Old Right Republican", like Taft and Goldwater, over the last twelve years that I've been aware of his efforts to do something about the monstrosity that is the federal government. and he has said from the beginning that he was running a dual campaign including his house seat. if people want to read between the lines and fabricate fantasies to their liking, that's their fk'n problem, but he has never misrepresented himself as anything but that. if that ain't good enough, then guess it's just tough shit. cry me a fk'n river.

with Romney 'suspending' his campaign, that screws up the brokered convention strategy because it locks up his delegates, including the ones he just got in Maine and any others he collects because Neds are still supporting him, and different rules apply as to what can be done with them than if he would've dropped out. I'm not really pleased with how Rons run has panned out up till now either, but where the fuck do these people get off with throwing him in front of the train. enjoy the sunshine...

Well it was not an attack against sharp women. Devvy Kidd is very sharp and shrewd but I would not call her calculating. Tough? Yes. Calculating? No.

I have no problem with tough sharp women - I don't like shrinking violets - I like tough women and always have. However, the term calculating, for me, connotes sharpness with a shortage of compassion.
