Do you think Dr. Paul was forced

0 votes

by GOP elite, Federal goverment, MSM or someone else to "suppend" his campaign? I have to wonder if his wife or family are threatened by someone, He has said he would go all the way to the convention. Why "suppend" with the convention being so close?

Long live the Revolution. Get involved at the local level

A Bill of Rights is what the people are entitled to against every government, and what no just government should refuse, or rest on inference.

A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor and bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government.

All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.

How stupid can you get?

If someone was going to force him out, why would they wait until the primaries were finished? The reason he's no longer campaigning is because there are no more votes to get. No more states to go to. The primaries are over! It's just a matter of formality to say he's ending his campaign.

Unbelievably stupid, as you can see.

YES

I definitely think so.

He has no other better reason to have done it.

He had nothing to lose.

Unless there's something very strategic about freeing up the cash to use it today.

Quit all of your griping and grousing

Sweet fancy Moses! Quit the crying and gnashing of teeth, there's new work to be done.

Perot was threatened back

Perot was threatened back when he ran for President. It's certainly possible that RP is being threatened as well.

...

What would be the point?

At this stage in the campaign. The primaries are over. If someone wanted to force him out they would have done it a lot sooner, when he at least looked like he might have had a chance.

For the same reason

For the same reason that you're trolling the Daily Paul--because they are afraid of the message and want to put the kibosh on it.

He was making people aware. Those in power can't have that. Uselss troll.

Dont be silly

There was no chance of Dr. Paul getting the nomination. What would be the point of forcing him to end his campaign?

The same

The same reason you have. WHAT is your point and WHY are you trying to disrupt the RP movement? A question ain't really a question when you know the answer.

No...

...he saw that the grassroots were starting to divide and starting to fight each other over which (of many) directions we should go and this was causing most of us to get very confused and dispersed and so he decided to do something effective about it now rather than after Sept.

This will help the rEVOLution grassroots start to come together again. It is crucial that we don't disperse and fade away at this critical point!

It's going to get fun again, folks!!! I'm excited to hear him speak tonight!!!!!

"How can we justify to the unemployed and underemployed in the United States the incredible cost of maintaining a global empire?" - Dr. Ron Paul

yes, of course

Absolutely. Even though I don't have a shred of evidence supporting it, or any reason to believe it, and plenty of reason to understand why he would choose to do this, I think Ron Paul was forced to suspend his campaign.

You guys are too much.

Why use evidence, reason and logic to form your opinions when you can pull fantastic ideas like this out of your big fat hairy ***?

Wow Minarchist...

Do you believe your response to the threads author is justified in its tone and or a reasoned response to the question? If ya get a chance, thanks...

Ps. Could you explain why you say "plenty of reason to understand why he would choose to do this", what do you think the reason(s) were or are?

What you believe to be true, is true to you... "until you change your mind"

No, not justified.

No, I don't think the tone is justified. I was out of line. Sorry. I get really frustrated with the nonsense sometimes and end up losing it like this.

As to plenty of reason for why he choose to do this, listen to his own words. In summary, it's because the campaign was never really about becoming president for Ron Paul. He's not an idiot. He knew he had no realistic shot. I mean, there was no reason to rule out the possibility that by some miracle it might work out, but trying to become president was certainly not the sole and not even the main reason he had a campaign. The main reason he had a campaign was to spread the message of freedom, and that turned out to be far more successful than he dreamed it ever would. He just used the presidential race as a platform from which to bring attention to the message, particularly during the debates. But the primary voting is over. The debates are over. The presidential campaign speeches are over. But the support he generated is still out there, so he is trying to do something with it. So he came up with this idea of the campaign for liberty to keep the momentum going. It's a brilliant strategy and totally consistent with everything else he has done. Why anyone would think he might have been "forced" to do this is beyond me.

He was not going to win so

He was not going to win so why waste resources into that effort when we can start the education effort?

Whatever is going on

Just don't lose sight that RP is a smart as a fox. He has seen the way things work from the inside and he knows what he is doing. One observation I have made is notice the instantaneous media attention he got from everywhere at once with the thought of him dropping out. They were all over it while pretty much ignoring him all of this time. Suspend is not quit. Have a little faith in him in knowing exactly what he is doing. I do.

I've heard rumors.... but to

I've heard rumors.... but to believe those rumors would be a disrespect to Ron Paul... He is too strong to ever give into outside/internal forces that would want to shut him up. I trust his judgment.

Very good point

Can we lose the CAPS LOCK?

Ron Paul's life

has certainly been on the line...for 30 years... now more than ever in light of his convention in september! there is an absolute need for us all to step up to the plate! RP is definitely our leader and truly a patriot. clearly there is a need for a change in tactics...hence the next phase. we need to step up the information and the r3Vo_Ition can gain momentum!

I sincerely hope whatever comes up tonight has nothing to do...

with the recent Bilderberg meeting held last week.

RP STAYS ON!!

Their called

Elderberries. The internet has ears.

LOL!!

RP STAYS ON!!!

Never sold on the MSM "spin cycle" news earlier...

nope

I doubt it. Listen to his speech tonight and all will be made clear...

No

In God We Trust!

Ron always knew there was that possibility and nevertheless went onward as he is doing now. He's a real man and a real fighter and a true patriot!

" In Thee O Lord do I put my trust " ~ Psalm 31:1~

No. I don't think RP could ever be "forced"...

... to do anything that he didn't agree with.

he probably saw the handwriting on the wall vis-a-vis a speaking role at the convention (none) and decided that it was time to step up the campaign for liberty.

I think he was holding off til the convention

for this announcement but after seeing the delegate shut out and he may have been concerned for his supporters welfare at the convention. Just a guess.
