They are from contesting political parties within the 2012 Presidential race.

Otherwise, I see your philosophic point but pragmatically disagree

Are you speaking for Michael the owner of this website?

You are not.

I Speak For Myself as a Supporter of Freedom

Submitted by IMissLiberty on Tue, 06/12/2012 - 22:07.

The core of the Ron Paul campaign consists, in large part, of people he met going to Libertarian Party conventions through the years--which makes sense, since he's the only one who really represents what we stand for.

If you think I can't support both of them, you seriously underestimate me. I think most people on the DP would welcome my support even though I am not a Republican or a hero-worshiper (Ron Paul or die!). Dr. Paul has said many times, "it's not me, it's the message."

1) The core of the Ron Paul campaign consists, in large part, of people he met going to Libertarian Party conventions through the years

Disagreement: according to these accounts, most modern supporters were introduced to RP through the debates, media appearances or personal recommendation

2) If you think I can't support both of them, you seriously underestimate me

I have made no such personal inference; your comment is therefore incorrectly presuppositional

3) I think most people on the DP would welcome my support

Perhaps, but it is inappropriate during a political contest

you can speak for me for a while too

Sorry

the title remains the same and would assumedly diffuse momentum for the Paul 2012 Campaign; down-vote held

You are now asking more than I can give.

I have to hand it to whomever in the LP

Submitted by reedr3v on Tue, 06/12/2012 - 20:42.

that is turning out good ads and slogans and social libertarian rallies etc. Too bad all that good creativity is being plowed into a weak candidate. It may drain a lot of support that could have gone far more effectively toward the real changes Ron Paul represents.

This weekend in my town Gary is marching in a big Gay Pride event that may well pull support from many who could better be educated by the Ron Paul r3VOLution. Dividing the potential liberty vote is the main grudge I have against the LP. They did it less effectively in 2008, but it rankled then too.

Of course some responsibility is for the official RP Campaign hiring slick mercenaries for its ads and promos. No passion in them to match the material being put out by the LP. Then the strategy of running in the Repub. party, while effective, undoubtedly muted the message that could appeal to the average voter in that demographic.

Good points

Submitted by legalizeliberty on Tue, 06/12/2012 - 20:50.

But GJ is not a weak candidate at all.
Have you heard what people like Peter Schiff and Barry Goldwater Jr. said about GJ?

I have not listened to Schiff's words on this, and

Submitted by reedr3v on Tue, 06/12/2012 - 22:20.

don't follow Goldwater so haven't heard his view. I can't imagine that either of them would make a point that would bolster Johnson's qualifications as a candidate supposed to represent libertarianism yet knowing very little about libertarianism.

I do think he's among the good Republicans, as is Rand for instance. But both have been inconsistent in their policies. Since we have an excellent candidate who is consistent, Gary is a distraction and siphons energy from the Ron Paul effort.

I fail to see why...

Submitted by Respect38 on Tue, 06/12/2012 - 20:41.

the Daily Paul has to be pro-Paul. Why can't it be pro-liberty?

Because we don't own it,

Because we don't own it, Nystrom does and its pro Paul. Pretty simple really.

From the "Site Guidelines" Page of the DP

Submitted by IMissLiberty on Tue, 06/12/2012 - 22:13.

Purpose
1.To keep Dr. Paul’s ideas and message of Peace, Sound Money and Liberty alive through discussion and practice.
2.To serve as an open forum for the honest discussion of ideas and the search for truth.
3.To share, practice and spread these ideas as far as possible in the world we live in. This site will thus remain in existence as long as there is a need for it, and as long as there are supporters willing to help keep it going.
Please note that this website is my private property. Participating here is a privilege, not a right, a difference fundamental to understanding the message of freedom. Though this site does not officially represent Dr. Paul, all here shall strive to follow the gentlemanly example he sets.

Look at it this way...

Submitted by Respect38 on Tue, 06/12/2012 - 23:35.

The ideas are the subject of that, not Dr. Paul. As in, if someone is pushing similar ideas that Dr. Paul is pushing, then he is within the bounds of the website to be discussed, and trying to kick people out for supporting people than Dr. Paul *gasp* is not the correct course of action.

Has he said anything?

Submitted by Respect38 on Tue, 06/12/2012 - 20:52.

Regarding other liberty candidates, such as Gary Johnson...

Cool

Submitted by Maeve on Tue, 06/12/2012 - 20:28.

Hopefully it will help clean up some of the mess around here with people stumping for Johnson on the Daily Paul. Personally, I think its premature to be pushing Johnson here on the DP. We still have lots of Paul supporters getting down and dirty for delegate positions. We should stay focused on Paul here at least until after the convention. Those delegates need our support.

Why not just call it "Johnson Activists" or something other

Submitted by gardeniabee on Tue, 06/12/2012 - 20:22.

than an obvious take-off on DP? I'm too raw right now.

Maybe after the convention...
Maybe after a different name...
