What Was It Like to Work for Ron Paul?

Unlearn the Propaganda!

    No value really in this meaningless conversation b/w rockwell and a former paul staffer. Paul’s advisors are infact all mainstream republicans/establishment types. And, not any libertarians. I don’t think these advisors really work for Ron and more like are the management.

    Deist just said Paul was repsectful of the staff, etc….just meaningless of what has already been said – that he doesn’t compromise on votes, etc..- things that mainstream media will tell you as well. And a bunch of fluff.

    Please enlighten us regarding what you know about Jeff Deist. We await your insights. He’s just a Republican/establishment type? Now I have you nailed. I demand one shred of evidence for this statement, or an apology for your consistent arrogance and belligerence.
