    Hey, I had homework to do!

    Plus, someone called and no one picked up, so we waited until today.

  2. paulie cannoli Post author | September 23, 2008

    Probably unnecessary at this point. It’s off page one, and any question has long been settled by now.

    If any of the other writers here still think it’s important enough, I’ll accept an edit by them.

  3. darolew September 23, 2008

    ^Maybe that should be edited into the article.

    Don’t call Ron’s office congressional office!

    It is against the law for his congressional staffers to discuss who he supports for President or any other aspect of his non-congressional business.

    The Campaign for Liberty is his official political (campaign) organization. The people who work there are his political staffers. They speak for him regarding political issues. Here is that number: 612-559-6742.

    Stop bothering his congressional staff!

    I think this dude should be our first ban for creating fake aliases in order to intentionally spread lies.

  6. paulie cannoli Post author | September 23, 2008

    I received a facebook reply from Rachel Mills confirming the post.

    Hadn’t thought of that. Good job, thanks!

  7. darolew September 23, 2008

    I think the endorsement is pretty obviously genuine.

  8. kiddleddee September 23, 2008

    I received a facebook reply from Rachel Mills confirming the post.

  9. paulie cannoli Post author | September 22, 2008

    I simply can’t believe that I’m watching four or five people that would otherwise seem to care a great deal about the claims being made here go through some thirty-one, count ‘em, 31 posts making excuses about why they personally just can’t make a phone call to confirm them.

    Obviously you didn’t actually read those comments.

    I was in a library, and several other people here were at work, so could not all.

    Eventually, some people did call, but it was after office hours.

    With the confirmation in a CP press release, it now seems even less likely that Jerry is right, but I’ll still call the Ron Paul office in the morning to erase any lingering shadow of doubt.

  10. kkassam September 22, 2008

    Ok, I see it now – but I still don’t see it on baldwin08.com .

  11. Trent Hill September 22, 2008

    kkassam,

    Email the IPR email address

    [email protected]
    And just say “Hi Trent, contact me at this email address” and ill get back to you in a few.

  12. Trent Hill September 22, 2008

    johnlowell,

    The ones who wont call, wont because we know the truth. The ones doing the urging are busy.

  13. G.E. September 22, 2008

    The endorsement is mentioned at the CP site.

    Make the call yourself, johnlowell. You don’t own me.

  14. kkassam September 22, 2008

    Trent, why no mention yet of the Ron Paul endorsement at the CP site?

    Also, what’s your email address? I have a question I’d like to ask you.

  15. johnlowell September 22, 2008

    I simply can’t believe that I’m watching four or five people that would otherwise seem to care a great deal about the claims being made here go through some thirty-one, count ’em, 31 posts making excuses about why they personally just can’t make a phone call to confirm them. What squirlishness!If you’re so concerned about the truth of the matter, confirm or disconfirm the claim for God’s sake. Either its true or it isn’t, but I’m getting the very distinct impression that a good bit more than the truth is involved for you folks, pride perhaps?

  16. G.E. September 22, 2008

    Ross – not necessarily but not necessarily NOT, either.

    I’m leaning towards inside job on some level.

  17. Trent Hill September 22, 2008

    Baldwin has suggested that all questions should be answered and that an investigation should be conducted—because all government investigations are inefficient and/or corrupted. This doesnt neccesarily mean that he believes the government is criminally complicit in the attack or knew beforehand–or any of that.

  18. Ross Levin September 22, 2008

    There’s a difference between being for truth and believing that 9/11 was an inside job. That’s not necessarily the truth.

  19. G.E. September 22, 2008

    He’s not a theocrat and there’s nothing wrong with being for truth and distrusting government.

    Chuck Baldwin puts WAY, WAY too much religion into his politics. Way x 50 at least.

    But there’s a difference between that and theocracy.

  20. paulie cannoli Post author | September 22, 2008

    The truther part would be fan.
    The theocrat part, not so much.

  21. Deran September 22, 2008

    Either way; Ron Paul endorsing a theocrat and Truther — not so good.

  22. paulie cannoli Post author | September 22, 2008

    Yeah, honestly if there was something wrong with the post I think they would of pulled it or deleted it by now.

    You are probably correct. But we should still cover all bases.

  23. paulie cannoli Post author | September 22, 2008

    We already know what Ron Paul says. It’s at his Web site. How much more confirmation do you need?

    Audio or video would clinch it.

  24. VTV September 22, 2008

    Yeah, honestly if there was something wrong with the post I think they would of pulled it or deleted it by now.

  25. paulie cannoli Post author | September 22, 2008

    svf – Send it to paulie.

    Yeah, I haven’t worked since the 5th, so I’m running low on toilet paper.

  26. G.E. September 22, 2008

    We already know what Ron Paul says. It’s at his Web site. How much more confirmation do you need?

  27. G.E. September 22, 2008

    svf – Send it to paulie.

  28. paulie cannoli Post author | September 22, 2008

    I don’t really care what Bubbu Blanco, or whatever, says. However, I would be interested to know what Tom Lizardo or Rachel Mills says.

  29. svf September 22, 2008

    The (202) number is just a recording for RP’s congressional office — hours 9am – 6pm Eastern Time.

    The (979) number just rings and rings.

    Where do I send my consulting bill…?

  30. VTV September 22, 2008

    I called all the numbers, nothing is open.

  31. G.E. September 22, 2008

    NotABarrFan = Bubbu Blanco aka MDBQC aka Jerry S

  32. paulie cannoli Post author | September 22, 2008

    OK, where the fuck is Orvetti?

  33. Trent Hill September 22, 2008

    HAHA. I cant call, im also working.

  34. Fred Church Ortiz September 22, 2008

    I can’t use my work line for personal calls. Settle for a B- and call it, Ross!

  35. Fred Church Ortiz September 22, 2008

    I think Benton might have stolen RP’s thunder; we were supposed to hear a major announcement tomorrow, it’s possible everyone else was blindsided.

  36. Ross Levin September 22, 2008

    So we’re just going to report on it, talk about it, and not call it?

  37. Trent Hill September 22, 2008

    No one SHOULD call, its insultingly stupid.

  38. Ross Levin September 22, 2008

    Anyone actually gonna call? I have homework to do.

  39. G.E. September 22, 2008

    Absolutely ridiculous to even consider that Paul would take calls on the matter but NOT remove the article / post a disclaimer.

  40. Trent Hill September 22, 2008

    Nope. Rediculous(TM) assertion.

  41. paulie cannoli Post author | September 22, 2008

    Why would it be “taking the bait”?

    It’s possible, although highly unlikely, that Benton could have exceeded his authority.

    Checking out stories is normal practice.

    If I was not in a library, I would have called already.

  42. G.E. September 22, 2008

    I’m not taking the bait and calling the office. You’d think they could REMOVE the article before now.

    What NotABarrFan, alone, is asking us to believe is that Jesse Benton hijacked the C4L Web site and no one else can get the post down.

    Not even remotely believable.

  43. paulie cannoli Post author | September 22, 2008

    Normally I would agree, but he does provide phone numbers. I’m in a library, but if anyone else here can get through, we should post the reply.

  44. G.E. September 22, 2008

    What this guy is saying is that Ron Paul’s grandson-in-law wrote a fake blog as Ron Paul and thought he could get away with it?

    VERY implausible.

  45. Trent Hill September 22, 2008

    It doesnt appear that anyone but NotABarrFan (who still says we should all vote for Barr) is questioning this.
