Gerald Celente and Alex Jones agree that Ron Paul doesn't have charisma

[NYgs23]

Ron Paul doesn't have charisma in the slick, shiny, pop culture sense, but he comes across as very likable to me, because he seems sincere, good-natured, and much more of a real person than pretty much any other politician. Obama, on the other hand...am I the only one who doesn't find Obama charismatic. Sure, he's slickly packaged, but he's so vapid and anodyne. I find him excrutiatingly boring to listen to. There's no "there" there.

 

[Paulitical Correctness]

Judging a politician on something as superficial as "charisma" is like a man judging a beautiful woman because her lady bits aren't massive.

Freakin' Americans man, we got everything all backwards and it's only going to get worse.

The media has done its job with overkill.

Don't ever try to tell my wife RP doesn't have charisma.

Learning how to speak in public like a vinyl siding salesman isn't charisma.

Ron Paul is in an age of Manufactured Consent. He has INSANE amounts of theory to back him up, and he's CONFINED to a few minutes, so he has to speak in SOUNDBITES and still try to get the message across.

Ron Paul simplifies shit like Human Action (900pages) into a few sentences. That's insane and he has NEVER LOST in an argument on the tube.

They've tried hard and REAL HARD to catch him, put him in a corner etc. But he just keeps getting better and BETTER.

Fuck Charisma. Give me truth.

Infinity + 1.

You can't tip an ocean of knowledge into a shot glass of a brain (i.e. the public) who have had their critical thinking abilities lobotimized by the State/Media/Public Education cartel.

If by charisma you mean placating to the lowest interests of the people, to their peasant logic, then no he doesn't have charisma. He is not the type of leader who arouses the people's emotions. He wants to appeal to their rational, scientific mind.

He is a leader by example. He professes.

But that doesn't mean that he can't be criticized. We have to win this intellectual fight with both knowledge and style. A leader needs to emerge with a chip on her shoulder. Somebody who doesn't necessarily lash out but is still passionate and lively.

Charisma, in a very large number of people, usually signals neurosis in some shape or form. Have you ever noticed how charming psychopaths are?

"Fuck Charisma. Give me truth". I like that, I really like that!

Yeah I don't know what people see in Obama either, he can't even psych himself out. I see no spark in that suit of his. All I see is a calculated actor regurgitating empty rhetoric.

I've seen the word "professor" thrown around as describing Ron Paul's presence on stage and I would have to agree, not that there's anything wrong that label. Yes I can admit that Ron Paul lacks charisma in the truest sense of the word, but I voted for him based on his record and ideals. Unfortunately as we all know thats not how the American Idol audience votes.

I find RP most definitely charasmatic. People say he is not charasmatic when they are indimidated when they don't understand what he's talking about.
