[Audio] Carol Paul Short Interview 6/13/12

[V3n]

Ron Paul could never be "..just RON PAUL" without Carol Paul behind him.








(and Rand Paul would just never be!)

 

[coffeewithchess]

Anybody saying the attacks are stupid, just ask Rick Perry, Newt Gingrich, and Rick Santorum how they felt during the election...coming from the RP campaign.
Sure, some of the attacks are probably no doubt stupid and ridiculous...the fact is though, the RP campaign is complicit in Rand Paul's endorsement of Mitt Romney by not only their silence from Ron Paul, but by using the official campaign website to now try and defend it also.
The Ron Paul 2012 campaign sold out donors, supporters, and Americans in general, apparently for a seat of the GOP's table. The table is rotten folks, and food served is poison. Look at the excellent politicians the GOP has brought us before...

Again, if Rand Paul is an adult and had spoken for himself during the endorsement, that might be one issue.
When you waste people's time/money/sacrifices though, $30+ million just in donations not counting time and PFH efforts, I don't see how they can expect people to not be outraged over the failure that was, is, the 2012 Ron Paul Campaign, and 2008 for that matter.

Again, let Mitt Romney hand Ron Paul the nomination at the convention and perhaps this goes away. Unfortunately though, the RP campaign was not serious about winning, and in that, they were dishonest with people's money/time/sacrifices.

 

[ShowMeLiberty]

It surprised me from the start that anyone could believe Ron and Carol hadn't raised Rand to be better than a traitor. Seriously?

Carol Paul did not deserve the ugliness heaped upon her family. Especially by people who should have known better.

 

[Sola_Fide]

I bet Carol would throw a few of you over her knee right now.

 

[Feeding the Abscess]

I bet Carol would throw a few of you over her knee right now.

Probably not, actually. Ron's spoken against corporal punishment.

Did you listen to the Rand Paul interview with Peter Schiff? Or Not? Just curious. I respect that you have your right to your opinion, but you are counter to people who have more credibility than you. (to me, with respect) So, have you listened to that interview? And if so, I'd like you to address it.

 

[Brett85]

When were we ever not "respectful"? I think whoever wrote that email fell for the media line that Ron Paul supporters were causing chaos everywhere we went. We followed the rules and were respectful

Perhaps when Ron Paul supporters bood Mitt Romney's son for no reason at all, or the tea party convention I attended where Ron Paul supporters bood former Congressman Tood Tiahrt for no reason at all. I was there, and people were throwing up middle fingers all over the place. I was with my parents who aren't Ron Paul supporters, and needless to say that kind of garbage didn't make them think any more highly of Ron Paul.

I have listened to it yes, and the DailyPaul "interview" as well. I already addressed those in another thread, that was either moved to "Hot Topics" or the "Rand Paul" forum.
Rand Paul did not have to lie in his endorsement, and he did. Or he is just ignorant. Either way, that's not good for people running around defending him. He could have spoken for himself, which I have also provided an example of.
Again, perhaps Mitt Romney is handing Ron Paul the nomination, and Rand did this just to seal the deal beforehand and to make it dramatic like a good wrestling match. I sure hope so, for the sake of Ron Paul's lasting impressions, and Rand Paul's future politically.

Ok. fair enough. I have not read what you said regarding that. But if you have seen what I have an hold your opinion, I'll respect until I have a reason not to.

lol. no way.

 

[Philosophy_of_Politics]

I warned people before about the "mob rule" mentality. How I fear that some of our supporters are just along for the ride, and have not reached the intellectual capacity required in order to quit acting like Democrats that have already transitioned into Mob Rule.

 

[Carson]

This little break has given us a chance to get to know the next possible First Lady a little better. She truly is a first lady.

 

[Sola_Fide]

Probably not, actually. Ron's spoken against corporal punishment.

She didn't seem too enthused about some of the bomb throwing anarchists out there. It actually seemed like Carol was defending political action, which is an interesting thing all in itself. If she is defending that, it would be something that Ron also has defended for years. His entire life is a story about liberty activism and political involvement.

To me, these liberty candidates out there right now are literally following in the path of Ron Paul. They are--literally--following in the path of political action. At the philosophical level, it would be hard for me to say that political action is the basis for cultural change...that would be a Marxist view of the world. But where we can tie what little weak chains of the Constitution we have left to this government, we still should.

 

[olsonly]

Having listened to the rest of this interview, and her comments about the attacks and language on Facebook, her clearly having discussed this with Ron as well, I am disappointed in us.

We hit a bump in the road, we lash out. Our passion is admirable, our lack of maturity is not.

And for those who say I cannot speak for the whole, you're right, but the overwhelming reaction has been of a rabid attacking dog.

Exactly.

 

[IndianaPolitico]

It really saddens me, almost to tears, to hear Carol talk about the terrible things being said about her family. As we sit hear behind our computer screens, we forget all of the things they have given up, the time they could of spent together, the long hours they worked, just to help their country, and to bring us together in the liberty movement. I dare you, to find a better senator then Rand Paul, I dare you, to find a better congressman then Ron Paul, I dare you to try and find a woman who would be a better first lady then Carol Paul!

 

[RonPaulFever]

Being mean to Carol is just shameful. She's a sweet lady and doesn't deserve any of the flak she's getting.

 

[fearthereaperx]

Ron Paul should've publicly came out and either suspended the campaign shortly after Santorum dropped out--which removed the chances of a brokered convention off the table-- or, publically vocalized that he was not intending to win the nomination but to keep with the strategy to take over coveted state,local, precinct spots. Otherwise, We wouldn't have to deal with this mass confusion and rage and division splintering the movement, currently. Right now, we're dealing with the after effects of people's bubble of delusion popping and it's not pretty.

We will recover, sometime, and Alex Jones will most likely issue an apology for his knee-jerk reactionary sensationalizing.

 

[anewvoice]

I've not known AJ to ever apologize for sensationalizing or knee-jerk reactionary.

 

[LibertyEagle]

See? People were being jerks to Carol ....

I guess she is right, people blame the parents for what their children does... even though Rand is a grown man.

I do find it strange that Carol hasn't talked to Rand, very strange. That is a red flag.

Please stop it. No, it's not a red flag. Plus, she was talking about the rude, foul-mouthed comments that the Paul's supposed supporters were leaving about both Rand and Ron. She was appalled by it.

What? You act like it is news to you that our guys have been trying to get in leadership positions in the GOP, all over the country. If it is news to you, where have you been? Training has been going on for the last several YEARS for this.

Again, if Rand Paul is an adult and had spoken for himself during the endorsement, that might be one issue.
When you waste people's time/money/sacrifices though, $30+ million just in donations not counting time and PFH efforts, I don't see how they can expect people to not be outraged over the failure that was, is, the 2012 Ron Paul Campaign, and 2008 for that matter.

Nothing is perfect and certainly not the campaign. But, have you looked at your own self in the mirror lately? How many phone calls did you make trying to help in the Phone from Home program? How many of your neighborhood streets did you walk and how many doors did you knock on handing out campaign literature? How many emails and videos did you create trying to make the moneybombs a success? Well????

It may seem like a lot, but 30 million is peanuts for a national campaign. It's a drop in the bucket. For example, in Texas Dewhurst is running against Cruz for U.S. Senator. Dewhurst is the establishment candidate and of course has gotten all kinds of donations from cronies, who of course will expect to be paid back in government favors. But, apparently it wasn't enough, so Dewhurst loaned his campaign 10 MILLION dollars of his own funds. TEN MILLION. And that is just for a race confined to Texas.

You also seem to have conveniently forgotten that the media was running a 24/7 smear campaign against Ron, while giving free advertisement to Santorum and Romney. And this doesn't even speak to the crap that went on within each state's GOP. Which is why we have to pwn the leadership positions so it will never happen again.

Again, let Mitt Romney hand Ron Paul the nomination at the convention and perhaps this goes away.

Get real. Romney isn't going to hand Ron Paul the nomination.

Unfortunately though, the RP campaign was not serious about winning, and in that, they were dishonest with people's money/time/sacrifices.

That's bull. They damn sure did try; especially at the beginning. Later on, I agree, it felt like it transitioned to something else.
