If you want a spark, Paul should come out and announce a major press conference. They may suspect he's dropping out, but whatever. Then have him come out and say that while he's been traveling on the campaign trail, in addition to the thousands showing up to support him, he's been listening to...

Might I recommend adding something like the following: Conservatives (and libertarians) recognize that liberals have an incomplete, inaccurate view of a market economy. They see risk and thus want govt to mitigate that risk, but they don't look far enough to see cause and effect. We recognize...

And in addition, turn it into an anti-Democrat talking point: "We cannot let ourselves fall into the trap of the Democrats. Democrats say that the ends justify the means - for example, as long as we are helping the poor, it justifies ignoring private property and individual rights. Let us be...

In light of recent polls and other articles, I think it increases the value of commissioning such a poll. Especially since it doesn't help any other non-Romneys - it only helps RP.

I liked where you were going with Protecting them, but then you veered into the Federal Reserve. Most Republicans don't have a problem with his position on the Federal Reserve. Most Republicans have an issue with his foreign policy. They think he's "perfectly ok with Iran getting nuclear...

I agree, but I think a better poll would be one that demonstrates that Paul would actually do better against Obama when you consider that the real general election will contain 3rd party candidates.

Jim DeMint has enormous popularity with Republicans in SC. Can someone make and post around town signs reflecting his support of Paul? I know he hasn't "officially endorsed" Paul (or anyone last I heard), but just his agreement with Paul's views/ideas would be a great endorsement for Ron Paul...

I endorse both ideas.

The other candidates do it, why not Ron Paul? In addition, he can give an "insider" speech. Layout the same problems he sees, propose the same solutions. However, the last part should focus on the future of the Republican party. Talk about how Pandora's box has been opened. People have heard...

At least in debates At the very least, in the debates he needs to reassert the "strength" portion of defense. I agree that he needs to remind people that 1) he will not remove/eliminate/gut our intelligence network and 2) he recognizes the difference between initiation of aggression vs...

There was a PPP poll recently that placed Romney head-to-head against Obama and included various additional Independent/3rd party candidates (which, frankly, is a more realistic picture of the general election). Even if Dr. Paul doesn't run as an Independent, it didn't look good for Romney...

Are you suggesting we caused 9/11? Absolutely not! WE the people did not cause 9/11. But the actions of the US govt over the last 50-60 years did - and on our behalf. WE the people didn't overthrow a democratically elected leader and replace him with a puppet dictator that brutally oppressed...

I would love it if there was a forum specifically regarding proposed responses to various questions RP gets. I see that there is a threat for one-liners, but I don't think that's sufficient or organized enough to be useful. So I propose an entire forum for just these suggestions - both one...

Possible Response to Criticism about Paul's Congressional Record When someone like Rick Santorum (or anybody) criticizes his Congressional record makes him "on the margins" by saying something like, "Out of over 600 bills, only 4 ever got to a vote and only 1 ever passed." Paul should respond...

I'm a huge Ron Paul fan. I don't agree with 100% of his policies, but the vast majority. I love that he's not suave and speaks simply. However, he seems to have trouble making his points in short time frames. Perhaps it's due to the complexity of the issue, perhaps it's due to the large amount...
