Benton: ‘Dr. Paul will not seek to be nominated from the floor.’
Submitted by Dither on Sun, 08/12/2012 - 15:50[ Tampa Bay Online: ] - Ron Paul has announced he'll seek a positive, non-confrontational stance from his campaign during the convention, and even will snub some gatherings planned by supporters because his campaign isn't controlling them.
Paul campaign chairman Jesse Benton wouldn't discuss negotiations between the two camps or the timing of [Rand] Paul's speech, but said, "We have been told that it will be a very prominent time." Benton said by email that Ron Paul is not expected to speak, but that Romney representatives "are working with us (on) other ways to recognize and honor Ron at the convention.
"Dr. Paul will not seek to be nominated from the floor," he added.

GJ is NOT straightforward
Least we forget what Ron Paul and the campaign are up against. It's amazing he has come this far!!!
All Romney's Fed, CFR, UN Agenda buddies have not smashed Ronny, so why are you ranting and raging against the machine YOU KNOW is in to win despite the greatest odds IN THE WORLD?
Don't buy the BS from the disinfo misinfo ulterior motive operators here.
YOU KNOW RON PAUL is a winner.. LEARN, don't doubt. LEARN!!!

Europa Has Learned
a-How to "cut and paste"
b-How to surrender
c-How to embrace the "Stockholm Syndrome".(A GJ Hostage if ever)
d-How to swear and cuss online.LOL!
Oh yes, he also knows how to SHOUT to GET HIS POINT ACROSS!
Perhaps he should have (instead of "should of" as he eloquently states)
watched the Videos of the Polish People who greeted Romney with RON PAUL SIGNS.....
Last I heard, the Poles are also "European".
Europa seems more of a "Euro-Peon".
And I would question anyone who claims to have given his sweat and tears.....and to now be "bailing out".
"Beyond the blackened skyline, beyond the smoky rain, dreams never turned to ashes up until.........

dip shit
polish people cant vote in AMERICA dumb ass, I have supported and made my self an expert an Austrian free market politics, which RON PAUL spouses, since 2006
You bad jokes are lame and juvenile, and who is bailing out again your an idiot,I SAID ALL READY THAT RON PAUL IS THE BEST CHOICE, IF HE DOESNT GET THE NOMINATION I WILL VOTE FOR HIM AND HIS AUSTRIAN FREE MARKET POLITICS, GARY JOHNSON IS A HALF WIT PSEUDO LIBERTARIAN, am I really a supporter with statements like that twat, Im a realist and we have been played and let down Pauls campaign is weak and doing nothing the delegates are the true heroes still fighting while Paul slowly transitions loss but gains "Platform" a joke
Yeah cut and paste works well its called effiecient productivity to make a list so you can smarten the fuck up and realize Dr Paul agrees 100%
AND I FUCKING SWEAR BECAUSE IM MAD AS HELL AND IM NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANY MORE very Libertarian while you sit and watch the results that are in plain site the Globalist win this round but the congress is the next battle
There's a Word for You
"EURO-TRASH"....
Your pompous BS is a cover for your subversive agenda.
To "praise" Ron Paul in one breath, then to call him a coward in the next illustrates the "two-faced" nature of your intellect.
Expert on Austrian Economics...Yeah..Wall Street had many, many "EXPERTS"...all idiots like you.
Your SHOUTING and profanity reveal a "less-than-educated" personality.
So....Clean up your language....clean up your act.
Your credibility is sadly lacking.
"Beyond the blackened skyline, beyond the smoky rain, dreams never turned to ashes up until.........
...Everything CHANGED !!
fuck you, hows that........
how is that for some education, you have shown you are an idiot, Im an AMERICAN dumb shit EUROPA is Greek Mythology and a frozen moon of Jupiter...you must be a reader?
Intellect is not blind faith, he was great to me now he is not, for empirical data being revised and his actions not his SPEECH.
Here is where you totally show youre a dumb ass, who is Ludwig Von Mises?
if you cant answer that you should go ahead and jump in front of traffic because, he is RON PAULS HERO and the TEACHER OF HIS PRINCIPLES you TWAT
Wall street what???
I shout at sheep and animals you have fit the role ape
Credibility is in history economics and politics your blind" I love Ronny no matter what" doesnt count for shit use empirical and I'll stop SHOUTING at your DUMB POSITIONS
blinded....
...and Gary Johnson has done what? Come again? Can't hear you. Nothing, that's right, NOTHING!!!!
The night is far spent, the day is at hand.
And those who have not heard shall understand.
I have supported and fought
I have supported and fought for Ronny since 2007, I put my Sweat and tears into this and feel very let down, he has failed in the end of this process, for reasons just or not, but he will obviously not be nominated if he is of course I would vote for him, But he is not, and he is a COWARD for not SPEAKING TRUTH TO A HIS BASE< FOR LETTING BENTON AND CREW FUCK US ALL, FOR ENDING HIS CAMPAIGNING LIKE A FOOL, DELEGATES IS WHAT MATTERS AND EVEN IF WE NOMINATE HIM, HE'D PROBABLY DECLINE
AUSTRIAN ECONOMICS FREE MARKET POLITICS IS THE ONLY WAY, NOT A MAN WHO IS FAILING IN MY EYES
GARY JOHNSON IS A HALF WIT PSEUDO LIBERTARIAN BUT AT LEAST HE IS STRAIT FORWARD AND TRYING TO RUN, WHO KNOWS WITH RON RON
Maybe Benton wanted to keep Ronny alive?
You think he;'s playing games with nice guys?
STAND WITH RAND 2016
he knew that going in quit
he knew that going in quit making excuses for him he's in his 70's he should of been a martyr then, but alas he is no Ghandi
What are you talking about?
He hasn't quit. Show me anything where RON PAUL SAYS, I QUIT.
You can't.
STAND WITH RAND 2016
you are that dense
good luck when the reality hits you, a few months from now..... he sent a letter stating he's done campaigning with 3.1 million dollars in hand while simultaneously asking for more money, Benton and crew have all but endorsed Romney and the GOP, Rands bull shit, and the fact he has no real game plan but the delegates which are fighting with vague leadership or lack there of, Cant you see between the lines its over and they are just trying to add to a platform that is rigged from the top down.
The future is congress and a Liberty minded individual that can win a presidency now or later, the congress being the most important.
Ron should say something directly and concise to what his intentions are, he hasn't and probably wont
Liberty is not a man its mission, this man is done......the mission is with us
The man is NOT done
The man is with me in the GOP.
The campaign, which accepted contributions from people, not corporations, stopped spending our money when it reached plurality, 5 states. What was the point spending supporters money when MSM wasn't going to tell the truth? Why feed a hungry beast that won't tell people that Ron Paul achieved 5 states? Why waste our money?
They did the right thing. And they have money to finish the mission they started. They don't have money to send all their delegates to tampa like Romney can. so they are asking for contributions for law suits and delegates... because they are still in this race for the nomination!
STAND WITH RAND 2016
GOP is a vessel of ignorance
GOP is a vessel of ignorance and neo cons, IM a LIBERTARIAN like RON PAUL IS, and Austrian free market politic Libertarian, and its obvious the money should be sent right away....you'll see the game is too rigged for the outcome you desire we made head way with Ron hes a starter not a finisher, we will finish it
I WAS a Libertarian like RP WAS
After 17 years of having them nominate Republicans like Bob Barr and GJ, I, Like RP, joined the GOP and now, MY GOP is half Libertarian with Ron Paul principles, and the rest of my county GOP are assorted GOP inlcuding Neos that we outnumber.
Meanwhile the LIBERTARIANS WHO HAVE NO GUTS but prefer being marginalized so the LIBERTARIAN PLATFORM goes NOWHERE, rally behind Liberal Republican GJ who is only a LIBERTARIAN to get points in the GOP, for dividing the rEVOLution from Libertarians with brains and guts, from those who can't think their way out of a cannabis issue that the LIBERTARIANS HAVE FAILED FOR over 4 decades.
WE the Ron Paul Republicans/ former Libertarians, ARE THE FURTURE AND WE WILL SUCEED where LIBERTARIANS have failed us, the USA, and the world.

The LP stared in 1971, so everyone who was dead on your list before 72 is not a Libertarian.
Your list neglected to mention Ron Paul, probably because he's a Republican now, it also failed to mention Bob Barr and GJ, and the biggest exception is Harry Brown

Thank you.

and thats why you are sheltered
In your bubble of "Im right" thats why you are a Romney supporter, Harry Browne is great, but open your mind and eyes, to purposefully be a fool is ....well foolish
Rothbard is better and has Von MISES and HAYEK as colleagues.
you are a bitter person who thinks they are right for working in a a bubble of cannabis, read more
I'm willing to be WRONG!!
I'm NOT a Rothbard fan. If not being a Rothbard fan makes me wrong. OK What do you want from me? I'm wrong for not being a Rothbard fan? OK/ What does that get you? Me saying I'm WRONG? I say it all the time. Being wrong doesn't hurt me. Not learning from being wrong hurts. So I'm wrong for not being a Rothbard fan. What did I learn? That you think I'm wrong for being a Rothbard fan. Thanks for that lesson.
You say I'm bitter. OK. About what? I don't need or use medical cannabis. I have a cannabis hemp lobbiest for my state grange, Mike Greene.. he's doing a great job. So why am I bitter?
And you say I'm foolish. OK. I don't think you are wrong, bitter or follish. If I did I would ignor you. So why do you bother with me? You're so much better than me, smarter, happier, all round far better person. So why stoop to my level and bother with the likes of wtrong, foolish, bitter me?
Surely your life has far better things to accomplish, like getting GJ above 3% of the vote? You would be wasting your time on wrong, foolish bitter me in trying to get me anywhere near GJ.
have a great posting day!

implied Libertarian philosophy of self sustainability NULLIFICATION 10th amendment states rights, I'M in CA as well and the FEDS have RAIDED and imprisoned CA individuals its not if, only when the FEDS come to your door especially as the economy gets worse, and yes I voted prop 215 SB 420 so thank me now if you'd like.
To use a time frame of 1972 as Libertarian is very disingenuous, and lacking the knowledge and historical relevance.LIBERTY is a timeless struggle each generation has to fight to preserve, and in our case take back
The founding Fathers and the Constitution are LIBERTARIAN in PHILOSOPHY the LP party was set up after generations of collectivism, to say Libertarian in this country as a party shows how far the gatekeeper have wiped history from the books, every American should be assumed as a Libertarian and the parties are different factions, now we are a collectivist statist nation and have to have a LP party that a system has designed to hold down.
I have followed and fought for Paul since 2006, and Im a registered Republican again you are wrong. youd rather assume and judge than asking questions and finding my positions, instead of making it up on the fly as rhetorical rhetoric.
Gary Johnson is a half wit pseudo , but he seems to get the gist of Libertarianism, seems like a honest mans and he is DEFINITELY RUNNING FOR PRES, where my mentor at one point failed me and didnt finish strong now we sit and wait for delegates who have to sue and literally fight statist Neo Con's then if they manage to win that, powers that be will squash that.
NO Thank you
I began working on Prop 215 in 1993 with Steve Kubby and others, collected over 10K signatures, it did not pass in 94.. in 96 I moved we scratch the word marijuaan as it is a slang word, we didn't, I dropped, Prop 215 passed 56%, "I ate crow", until a few months later most everyone was busted with 10 years mandatorys (I attended court cases in 7 counties) Steve Kubby ran to Canada. Prop 215 is poorly written and why we still have issues.
Jack Herer and several of us came up with CA Cannabis Health and Hemp Innative that decriminalized ALL cannabis.. Jack passed 4/20/ 08 (I miss my friend). I have worked hard on this issue, despite my being a cannabis industrial hemp activist.. and the medical marijuana issue has derailed MY OWN interest, it's heavily abused by those who want it recreationalized and won't work WORK on new inniatives due to greed and fear.
Steven Kubby is just one Libertarian friend (joined my Ron Paul meetup even though he was running for LP nomination in 08) the LP pushed him aside for Bob Barr. And now they give you another Republican. It's not right!!! LP wants to remain marginalized.
Ron Paul gave LP members an opportunity to go mainstream in an empty GOP, most refused. Again, the LP wants to remain marginalized. I have a long record of being an activist and I'm very grateful to RP for giving ALL of us an invitation to actually get our issues materialized.
Apparently most LP don't get it. Their mistake. Not RP's. Not mine.
I will get more done with my committee seat than the LP combined in the next two years THANKS to RP. Romeny is the least of my concerns.
You are the one calling me names and making judgements AGAINST me. Since you are registered GOP why not get a committee seat and join us rather than waste your time, money and efforts on someone who is running to lose? Ron Paul Republicans ARE THE FUTURE.. GJ Liberatians are NOT. And YES that is MY judgement. GJ will top 3%.
I'm way past LP philosphy (being I joined in 76). I'm not into this to debate philosophy. I'm in this to materialize Ron Paul's message.
As for mendo, Sheriff Allman is a constitutional Sheriff, a Ron Paul supporter, and REPUBLICAN. LP has less than 100 registered voters, no committee, and no way to get Ron Paul's or GJ's message materialized. Even Roseanne Barr took twice as many votes as GJ. That's how bad it is. As NOR CAL RP campaign leader, my district (4 counties) achieved more votes for Ron Paul in CA than the entire state, Santa Cruz was #1/ 25%, San Fran #2/ 29% Mendo #3/ nearly 19%, Humboldt, Del Norte, Trinity all upper 14%. I'm still working with the Ron Paul campaign (the adverage in CA was 8%). Don't bother thanking me, I'm not doing this for you. I'm doing this for me. THANK RP and Rand, THEY are my political leaders. And yes, I chose to have leaders as I don't know it all. I just share what I learn and encourage others with the truth I've found by doing what Ron Paul asked ALL of us to do.

Im debating facts not rhetoric
Austrian free market economics and politics has predicted and explained almost all poignant down turns in our economy, how the boom and bust cycle form from government intervention in private sectors. Which is corporatism and fascism.
If Romney wins we lose.... if Obama wins we lose...so who cares if GJ loses, like you said its local any way you can be a Republican on the local level to get shit done and you can vote LP to prove a point, "take me seriously or your opponent will win".
After years of that the powers that be will want to lobby us as a voters block, just like immigrants and the poor of dems, and big corporation and bible thumpers on the REP, I dont play games any more the delegates have shown that, it about locale everything especially information thats what changes worlds, the people changing. Congress is the real battle once we regain some power there the brakes will be applied
So you need to vote for it and I did so THANK ME
Because I THANK YOU, you still have a warped sense of things you keep thinking im A GJ supporter no I will VOTE FOR HIM WHEN THERE IS NO OTHER,
LIBERTARIAN =INDIVIDUAL LIBERTIES PROTECTED BY PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS UPHELD BY VOLUNTARY CONTRACTS, ENFORCED BY A SMALL LOCAL GOVERNMENT, AND THE MORE COMPLICATED THE SCENARIO THE MORE LOCAL IT SHOULD GET.
Thats LIBERTARIANISM, and in a 2 party system of course any one for "freer" country would choose REP over Dem you play a semantics game, you are a Libertarian you discuss the PARTY and we need a 3 rd party the Rep are tarnished, At one point classical Liberal was a Libertarian names change but principle cant.
he was a gov of new mexico.
he was a gov of new mexico. He has done alot, but i will never vote for obamney. who are you suggesting we vote for? Gary can expose obamney
on the debate stage with 15% support nationally. I guess the gop better nominate Ron Paul if they want to win. I will vote Gary Johnson if ron paul is not the nominee. Gary can expose the corrupt gop and the corrupt obamney on the national debate stage and move our liberty movement forward and keep the gop accountable for their actions. I will vote against any republican that endorses the corrupt romney.

So
who are you gonna vote for then...Romney ? He's done something, he stole the election from you.....

Austrian Economics FRee Market Politics is the way and the mentor not some man though intelligent, he has stopped fighting and hasnt been honest and forthright since Rands gaff
Funny...Telling Someone Else
...How to "punctuate, spell, or use correct grammar....
And yet your statement above:
"he's in his 70's he should of been a martyr then..."
Clearly reflects two(2) things:
a-Your hypocrisy
b-A less-than-Libertarian-mindset.
Must be that "European flair"....not an American trait...Like those that threw down their weapons and surrendered to Hitler.
Are you an Austrian?....the nationality, not the economic principle.
You've thrown down your weapon already....so..sad.

Im an American you twat, EUROPA is from Greek Mythology and is a MOON of JUPITER, but being the dumb fuck scholar you are you read blogs and spout nothing.
yes Ronny boy knew the game before he played it so he should end strong, Libertarian is my expertise, and my opinion suggest such, its not a form of government dip shit an opinion. "Surrender to Hitler" what the fuck are you sniffing Einstein?!
Austrian economics is Ron Pauls principles you spout, which are not AMERICAN its HUMAN. Heres a reading list dip shit go get educated then talk to me twat
