List of famous potential supporters?

[MsDoodahs]

Dixie Chicks is a good idea, and that got me to thinking...

Who do we know that might - MIGHT - be willing to stick their neck out and "come out" for Ron Paul?

Goldie Hawn's hubby...I forget his name...he's a libertarian I think...

Sheesh I'm no good at this because I watch so little regular television...lol

Anyone know HOW to get in touch with these people? Have any "connected types" in our midst?

 

[mdh]

We totally need a South Park spoof of Ron Paul. The creators are known Libertarians, too. I bet they'd do it.

 

[Gabecpa]

Pat Buchanan

Lew Rockwell

 

[MsDoodahs]

Pat is already out there.

Lew is fantastic. I don't know how many of you have ever heard the man speak - he is AMAZING and if you ever have the opportunity, let me encourage you to go! You will be so glad you did! (now back to our regularly scheduled programming. :o )

Excellent topic!

They are libertarian (not self-proclaimed) but I believe they are pro-war as well, and they don't share the same passion for opposing the fed and supporting the gold standard, not any that I am aware of anyway.

Besides, whoever is on South Park is ridiculed, they go after golden cows, politicians and celebrities, not paint them in a good light.

I would rather have Rudy on there.

 

[Scribbler de Stebbing]

Clint Eastwood. There are some other Hollywood libertarians -- can't think of them.

If we can't take some comedic criticism, we're not much fun. Besides, Ron Paul vs. Rudy Giuliani in some sort of knock-down-drag-out cartoon battle would be awesome to watch. Plus IT GETS THE NAME ON PEOPLES' MINDS, which is the absolute biggest thing. Being lampooned usually does lots of getting a name out there, since people actually *want* to watch things that are funny, and taking it like a gentleman and not being a sniveling bitch about it is another chance to earn cool points.

 

[JoshLowry]

Willie Nelson?

 

[MsDoodahs]

I adore the Willie Nelson idea.

lol...how absolutely perfect that would be!

 

[MsDoodahs]

Oh, and along that line...

didn't Wesley Snipes just have a big time with the IRS, too?

Wow, that would be awesome! A jib-jab style shoot out between Rudy and Ron. Does anybody know flash?

 

[MediaTruthNetwork]

There are plenty of places online that you can outsource flash cartoon development to. Places like:

www.elance.com

www.scriptlance.com

www.rentacoder.com

among others.

I doubt it would be that much to have a short cartoon created and it would
be a good start to a viral marketing campaign.

Word of mouth is a powerful weapon and we definitely have
it on our side.

Media: Bill Maher, Tucker Carlson, Lou Dobbs
Politicians: Chuck Hagel, Mark Sanford (not very likely to happen for either of them, but it was posted on Lew Rockwell a few months ago that "Ron is optimistic about an endorsement at some later date" from the South Carolina governor. That would a HUGE development for the campaign, because that is one endorsement that every candidate wants. Even more interesting is that Sanford was asked back in April about a campaign stop that McCain, who he endorsed in 2000, was making and he said that “to be honest, I didn’t know he was here.”)

[Gee]

Matt Stone
Trey Parker
Michael Scheuer
Jon Stewart? Seems pretty liberal, but hates the war and partisan politics.
Steven Colbert, ditto to above.
Milton Friedman (yeah I know he's dead, but an obvious libertarian)
Antonin Scalia (one of 2 originalists on the supreme court)
Colin Powell? (Seems he felt pretty bad about the lies he spoke to get us into Iraq, but his Powell Doctrine seems pretty reasonable, supposedly called neocons "fucking crazies")
Alan Greenspan? (I've always wondered if Dr. Paul really disliked him, or just the shoes he filled)
Nancy Reagan
Arnold Schwarzenegger? (supposedly a big Milton Friedman fan)

 

[Suzu]

I say, if he gets on Jay Leno, he'll not only make a convert out of the host but also be seen by HUGE numbers of people.

How many people here are willing to send a note to NBC/Tonight Show asking for an appearance by Ron Paul? Anyone have a contact address?

Bill Maher

Bill Maher lavished all kinds of Praise on RP in this video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OeeevXtlDY

Says Ron Paul is his new here. Not likely that he'd vote for a Repbulican, but he's certainly being supportive.
