Dr. Paul on Boortz show at 1020 EST [edited by Mod: Canceled by campaign]

[dshields]

CALM DOWN EVERYONE!!!

Do you KNOW how many times I wish I could have reached through the radio and slapped that A'hole Boortz?

Ron Paul just did it for us!!

I'm so happy I'm gonna donate again!!

Well, I think Ron Paul should have gone on boortz's show

I can't stand boortz but I think that was a big mistake for Paul to not go on the show. This has just given boortz fodder to continue to smear him (as if he needs more) and most especially, us, the supporters. Just listen to boortz carry on...

Paul gains respect and likability whenever he goes on any show; hannity even treated him well on his radio show. boortz doesn't have the brains or gonads to go toe-to-toe with Paul. Sorry, but I thought we were in this to win the presidency and change the course of our country, not in this as an expensive way to get ideas out there for others to steal. In that regard, sometimes you have to "whore" yourself as a candidate and take advantage of what's given to you.

In my most humble opinion, I think this was yet another huge strategic blunder by the campaign.

The difference is the Dems didn't agree to a debate and then back out repeatedly...the campaign has done this before! If Ron Paul loses this election, it will be because of his campaign. The grassroots is doing our job. Why is it almost every time RP gets media attention, it is because of the grassroots, i.e. money bombs, blimp, granny warriors, Meetups doing sign waves, etc. The campaign backs out of Glenn Beck(which caused an uproar from Glenn Beck and then the grassroots) and now the campaign looks to have backed out of another big interview...it makes no sense. Well, here's hoping for 7th place tonight! KEYES/PAUL 08!

Jay Leno never consulted the grassroots support if Ron Paul can be on did he?

Has it ever occurred to you that the man gets tired of being slandered?
I know damn well I would. I am hoping for great things and working towards a goal
of changing our Democratic system. If it doesn't happen this year I for one am not giving up.
If you ever have played competive sports sometimes you get your ass kicked but you will never win
if you throw in the towel and give up. Get back in the game. Try again. Try harder. Try new techniques.
You may be right. The campaign may not be the best.
You have the ability to change things and make it better! Stop the defeatist banter.

Yea- Boortz is not a libertarian. He is a whore. I used to really respect him until he has said the things he said about Ron. His true colors came out then.

I was offered a talk show opposite him in 1997. I turned it down because i do not need the aggravation of dealing with call in morons. I was doing music and art anyways, which provides alot more cultural bearing than some fatassed (or skinny assed in my case) loudmouth spouting off his BS on radio.

Agreed! Besides, you folks put WAY too much stock in talk shows and traditional media. We are winning this fight on the ground not in the airwaves. Nothing will replace grassroots getting the word our one person at a time because someone that is fickle enough to have their mind change by a media pundit is not likely to keep their opinion or is smart enough to stand on their own.

That's great for you, who is already a Ron Paul supporter. For for the 3.8 million people that listen to Boortz every day, who don't consider him to be as big a dolt as you do, Ron Paul looks like a buffoon. No regular listener is going to think "Hey, Ron Paul is cool because he dissed the show that I always listen to!"

 

[webber53]

Well now Boortz has time to fill since Ron Paul didn't show up, so he fills it with negative Ron Paul stuff. So instead of a mention of it, he's been talking negative on RP for 45 minutes.

If you aren't going to do the interview, don't accept it. Period.

Boortz had every intention on making our candidate to look like a buffoon.
He has always badmouthed Ron Paul and spoken ill of him and Ron Paul
supporters. It would NOT have served any purpose for Ron to talk to this
supposed LIberatarian. Now he has Huckabee on the phone and pandering,
laughing and cajoling with him. Boortz is an total ass!

The campaign's plans are working.

Nobody is being defeatist except the campaign...RP sparked a movement, but his campaign is proving itself inept again...Jay Leno didn't consult the grassroots, but the grassroots was contacting Leno and asking him to have RP on the show months before RP was...so yes, I would say the grassroots actually was the reason for RP getting on Leno as it was for RP going on Glenn Beck.

Do you think Ron Paul supporters listen to Boortz on a daily basis?

How many people do you honestly think Dr. Paul would have swayed
by talking with the jerk Boortz.

Boortz would not have let Dr. Paul get any substanitive
comments in to promote his platform.

Boortz is Pro Huckabee and anti Ron Paul.
What is so hard to figure out!

EXACTLY! And when Ron Paul shows how gentlemanly AND how brilliant he is amid the ugliness, it really makes a positive impression.

Look everyone

I think the support of Ron Paul is clouding this issue for a bunch of you. It is unprofessional to agree to an interview and not show up. Period. It looks bad, and when it's live millions of people just think, rightly or wrongly, that they were stood up. No one likes being stood up.

Politically, not confronting those that disagree with your is just plain foolish. Ron Paul's reputation is based on being a straight talking, honest, no nonsense guy who tells it like it is. He's been on Fox News. He's been on O'Reilly. He's been on Beck. The entire campaign experience has been confronting one set of neocons after another. This was no different.

Heck, compared to Bill O'Reilly, Boortz is a total softy.

We can sit here and rationalize it however we want, but the bottom line is that it looks like a yet another fearful dodge by yet another typical politician to a whole lot of the 3.8 million listeners. That is completely opposite of the Ron Paul brand and the image the campaign should be putting forward.

I'll shut-up now.

It's the fact that we are fighting for name recognition. My wife said she is asked at her work by coworkers a lot, "Why doesn't the media talk about Ron Paul?" With RP neglecting shows like Glenn Beck and Boortz, it isn't helping our cause other than to continue to reinforce in the publics' mind what the media has already told them, "RP has no chance and his supporters are nuts".

 

[mport1]

This campaign is completely retarded.

 

[CJP]

OR maybe his is just "Principled" and not a MEDIA JUICER like the rest of the candidates.

How is being considerate (in order to win a victory for your principles) incompatible with being principled?

Political victories are won by winning over everyday people (and the media), period. In-your-face fanaticism may be exhilarating, but it is political suicide.

I know we all feel outraged by what has happened to our country. I know we just can't believe how brain-dead the "sheeple" seem most of the time. I know how irritating the mainstram media groupthink is. But we owe it to our country to win!

So we have to be smart. Put yourself in the place of the average voter who doesn't follow politics and doesn't yet understand the principles and issues like we do. As the saying goes, you catch more flies with honey than vinegar.

 

[evadmurd]

The campaign has just proved they are not serious about this nomination. Too bad.

 

[spiteface]

This campaign is completely retarded.

The problem is you don't see their strategy here.

right, they have none. and a bunch of immature children that live in fear instead of seeing the opportunity before them - it's pathetic.

The problem is you don't see their strategy here.

Which is?

 

[CJP]

A Boortz caller from Oklahoma just said he was leaning towards Paul, but is now much less inclined to support him because he doesn't seem to have the courage to come on the show.

We all know Ron is the most courageous candidate out there. Remember going to the "Values Voters" debate and not pandering an inch and getting boo'ed? Remember the Univision debate in front of Florida Cuban expatriots and suggesting lifting the embargo against Castro?

So how the f**k could the campaign manage to make Ron Paul look like a coward???

Even Boortz's producer said she can't believe what a mistake the campaign is making.

Get Ron on the show now. And someone tell the people in charge of the campaign to grow a brain.
