Ron Paul campaign statement concerning Reince Priebus and RNC Rule 11

Priebus has the potential to be a great ally in the general election. If the delegates can pull this off and take RP to the nomination then he is going to need all of the republican party behind him, including whatever pieces of the old guard are left (hopefully not much). Our conundrum is that we feel slighted by a party insider except that he isn't hurting us. He started a campaign against Barack Obama. Him and Romney are paying for the fight against Obama and then in August we take over!

As soon as you see the RNC undermining and ignoring Romney, let me know. I think they've had it all backwards up to this point.

"Now I will say that there could still be an issue in regards to romney getting funds ALREADY, as so many states still do not even have official delegate counts yet and no nominee chosen."

That is the issue. The RNC has endorsed Romney and provided him funds. Have they provided Ron Paul even one silver dime? No, of course not. Totally unfair and unethical, and the campaign couldn't care less.

that said, believe many of us are simply looking for excuses to vent at Benton, whom so many of us feel has been hampering, in one way or another.

I too thought this was gonna be one of them, until I read through it.

Though, not sure if it was a written contract that stated that the entire RNC 'victory operation' funding mechanism would be available when WE WIN, as Reince Priebus stated,

The RNC offered to set up a joint fundraising committee with the Paul campaign and were very clear that if Dr. Paul became the nominee, the Victory Operation would be behind him 100 percent.

for now, well... suppose along with many things that the official campaign does, since no one here was a fly on the wall in that meeting, as well as many other meetings within the inner core advisory circle of the RP2012 campaign, a lot of this is on faith, despite all the legitimate qualms some of us may have with Benton.

The overriding factor that gets us through all this, well at least myself? My immutable trust and faith in Dr. Paul, his intent, and not in cult-of-personality, Destiny, if I may portend.

I trust Dr. Paul, and while not blindly faithful, he's earned so much of my trust, I figure at this stage in the campaign, it's better to ride the surf and see where all of it goes, than to intentionally or unintentionally create unnecessary internal strife and division, though admittedly looking back at some of my own past comments, I may have contributed indirectly to it somewhat.

Still, Angel's nuanced deconstruction of RNC Rule 11 violation has a point: the RP2012 campaign's agreement with the Reince does not mean RNC can 'endorse' Wrongney, though it is obvious that Reince has been rather careful in wording to not outright endorse Muttens.

After reading about rampant violations in parliamentary procedures, not to mention the several alleged physical violence perpetrated against a few R3VOL by Flip ObamneyBots, along with the ruckus the RINOs instigated in AZ & OK, sometimes you do wonder... These RINOs haven't got a clue just how dire the state of the Republic is, only if they knew, intellectually, there is no way in hell they'd be against us; frankly let's face it, those who do oppose the Doc and us do so purely out of emotively childish reasons.

One things abundantly clear though; their smear phase 4.0 is R3VOL 'stole, hijacked, plotted, schemed, ploy, antics, ruckus, etc.' as to de-legitimize all our delegate efforts. Unsurprisingly the moron pressitute whore media are running with the ROMbot narrative that somehow WE're causing the ruckus.

The only silver lining is the coming upset of the century, at Tampa.

No better way to shut up the enemies of human liberty than beating them at their own game, with all our principles intact.

So on to Tampa we go.

Victory fund = good
Promoting one candidate over another = bad
Official campaign response to the bad is "the victory fund is good - period."

The problem is that the RNC is not supposed to "get behind" anybody until we have an official nominee. That means 1144 delegates. Nobody is even near that yet.

People need to wait a bit and see where this is going. Sometimes in chess, 5 moves ahead is not easy to see.

Thanks for the post...very well put and I tend to agree. I really think that having video at the conferences has been a real game changer. No more back door shenanigans and the GOP are shaking in their boots. They are just not so used to a transparent election that they don't know what to do with themselves.
