John, you refute yourself, except on the one point you could not know about.
Paul told me personally about his relationship with his campaign manager. His only complaint was what stopped. He might have told you accurately what he wasn’t getting any more. That’s what he told me, personally.
Meanwhile, in Northern Virginia, you cannot have a campaign manager on the board of your tea party AND THEN ALSO HAVE THAT TEA PARTY PROMOTE THE CAMPAIGN MANAGER’S CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS — as you did.
That is illegal coordination, or more precisely the libertarian’s campaign must report everything you did as a campaign contribution to the candidate, and you must comply with the $2,500 limit on campaign donations.
The actions of your tea party cannot be “independent” while the candidate’s campaign manager is sitting on your board of directors.
You will say that you treated all candidates equally, but that is not the case.
It was precisely over your insistence on *NOT* treating all candidates equally that led to your split with the Northern Virginia Tea Party.
Your atempt to hijack the tea party for the libertarian party, bash Republicans, and give extra preference to libertarians was the problem.
Most tea party members want to win elections, not to simply posture in vain for someone’s (not my) ideas of political perfection (which many of us consider wrong in any event.)
If a libertarian can win the GOP primary or the general as a third party candidate fair and square, so be it. But most people don’t consider it our mission in life to burn the GOP to the ground in the vain hope of maybe promoting a libertarian ideal.
Jon,
It wasn’t “my” tea party that had Bill Redpath, the Libertarian opponent of your friend, big spender Frank Wolf, speak. It was the “Northern Virginia Tea Party” group that Ron Wilcox was still associated with. We announced the board to the attendees at the end of that meeting, over “$5 organizer fee” Ron Wilcox’ objections. If we didn’t offer Redpath a voice, we would be guilty of excluding everyone but the Republican, something the FEC would like to hear about. Sounds like you are projecting, Attorney Jon Moseley.
Your boy Ron (has he incorporated yet? / what happens to checks made to “Northern Virginia Tea Party” and given to him?) shows favor for candidates almost every week. He’s only promoted one of three GOP candidates in Loudoun County. Ron, what happens with northernvirginiateaparty.com takes a check made to “Northern Virginia Tea Party”? If it doesn’t go to “Northern Virginia Tea Party”, and instead goes to a person, that’s conversion, a felony, right? Is that what Ron Wilcox is doing? People need to know.
Attorney Jon Moseley, I am involved in three GOP campaigns right now, so I have no time for your fantasy of me as a Libertarian activist. Nice try, doesn’t stick.
And are you going to tell me more about the imaginary lawsuit and the imaginary email from me?
I feel badly rubbing it in when I know I’m dealing with a crazy person, but I will not leave these injurious posts unanswered, because many who read these attacks on me won’t realize until they dig further how “credible” you are.
Just keep it up all you like, and I will continue to answer with the truth.
