Entry: Have I Turned Against Ron Paul? Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/have_i_turned_against_ron_paul#13000 Post contents: Justin, I never for a moment doubted your commitment to Ron Paul's campaign. I also shared your reaction to the last few seconds of the immigration ad. For someone who has been an admirer of Dr. Paul for several years since first stumbling upon him at LRC it was like a kick in the stomach--or perhaps somewhere a bit south of that target. Anyone who has followed this campaign closely, especially from the grassroots side, might be excused for seeing the incompetent hand of the Ron Paul 2008 Presidential Campaign Committee in this mess. This point out one of Ron Paul's worst flaws--yes he has a few--his almost naive trust in the people who work for him. Does the name Dondero ring a bell? These are the same people who, after the grassroots flash rally following Ron Paul's exclusion from the Iowa Iowans for Tax Relief Forum promised to deliver 10,000 votes in the Iowa Straw Poll only to see his disappointing 5th place showing with 1,305 votes. The same people who short circuited the Philly Rally and have generally conducted themselves in the finest tradition of LP lethargic amateur dog catcher campaigns. Dr. Paul is where he is and we are where we are in spite of the PCC. Whatever our eventual successes it will be because of him and us, not because of them. Sent at: 2008 07 24
