Demand a Debate Ron Paul vs Mitt Romney

Aint gonna happen. The media has ignored Ron Paul this whole time and you expect them to give him a primetime debate against their nominee?

 

[G-Wohl]

CNN's ratings are at their lowest levels in 20 years. If a grassroots campaign can sufficiently provide evidence that this will help their ratings slump, then it will, at the very least, be a possible method of promoting a more fair and factual offering of journalism on television. If CNN doesn't provide, then we will have made a punching bag for "the internet" to wreak havoc against. A red herring in some respects, but it will still be a good way to promote a message. There's nothing to lose by doing this, granted we can generate an objective and sourced claim towards this event benefiting CNN's viewership ratings.

Yes. If CNN cares about their ratings, they should jump on it...Otherwise, they're just another arm of the Propaganda Ministry, IMO.

 

[realtonygoodwin]

There would be no reason for Romney to attend. (From his perspective)

 

[LawnWake]

Yes, CNN wants people to know that Paul is still in the race and open up the possibility to more funding to his campaign.

 

[NoOneButPaul]

Even if CNN agreed there's 0 chance Romney would allow himself to look like the fool that he is.

 

[row333au]

If you're a true American who wants nothing more but to fight for the lives of everyone you love to really truly live their lives without tyranny then make this happen....

 

[clydethevoter]

I called CNN and the way they talked to me was that they would host it if both campaigns endorsed the idea of the debate, we need to be focusing on Romney's camp and not CNN

 

[clydethevoter]

Also lets focus on getting a debate at the national convention, we need to convince the delegates, all the other sheep are meaningless.

 

[Todd]

Not going to happen friend.

"Hello Mr. Romney, would you like to go on TV and give weight to the idea that you are not the presumed nominee and that you have to answer questions about your credibility as a conservative even though you need to start focussing on the Democrat and Independent vote? Oh, by the way, you will also be giving Ron Paul half of the speaking time, more time than all other debates combined. Sound good?"

 

[KingNothing]

What incentive does Romney have to do this? Absolutely no chance the two debate.

 

[wgadget]

Expose him as a coward, then. Plan B.

 

[kathy88]

Convince the Romney "supporters" to push it. Push the idea that it will be good practice before the "real show" against Obama... blah blah blah..... Good for rallying the troops around Mitt, garner more support for Mitt...... etc... Make it look like Ron would be "taking one for the team" by debating Romney's awesome skillz. LOL.

 

[PGH for Paul]

First of all, thanks to the many of you who post and push the agenda forward each day. *This may be my first post but I check this site daily and use it to help convert those who have not yet heard the message.

Had an idea I was about to post a couple weeks ago but held up after hearing all the confusion about Paul dropping out. *It deals with the debate issues so I thought I would share:

The idea:
Paul would destroy Mitt in a debate.
Mittens will not debate Paul one on one and knows he likely does not have to.
Let's force Romney's hand with a MoneyBomb for charity if Mitt agrees to a debate.
How much would Ron Paul supporters pay for this opportunity?
Imagine if we had a few million dollars raised / pledged and the only thing holding it up was Romney's cowardice.*

We get the debate we dream about...
Paul supporters get positive praise...
We raise money for a great cause...

I am sure everyone can brainstorm an appealing charity that would needs the funds and would make Mitt look heartless if he declined.**

Why not get Rachel Maddow to host her own debate? Rachel will do it, Paul will do it, but Romney won't and the public won't think of Romney as a coward esp that they are not aware of the State GOP conventions.

Looks like someone just volunteered! Let me know how it goes friend.

Rachel would spend the time asking about their positions on ancient bills like the chinese rail worker rights bill of 1824. Then use it as proof of Ron Paul's racism.

The same idea like the Murphy vs. Krugman debate. 60,000$ to a food bank is not enough of an incentive for him to attend. But the idea is really great. And because it's no campaign funding people who maxed out could participate too.

To put pressure on Romney is the only way to ever make a debate happen. He wouldn't like headlines saying that he is either a coward or heartless.
