O'Reilly: How Can Ron Own?

[mconder]

I thought I'd start this thread in hopes that the campaign staff reads these forums.

I called the campaign staff this morning and suggested that Ron be prepared for O'Reilly pointing out that Ron wants to abolish the CIA, The Department of Home Land Security, The NEA, The Department of Energy, The FED, The IRS, etc. to make him look like a crack pot. I think Ron needs a better response than bureaucracy makes us less safe. I don't think the average person makes this connection, but it more likely thinking Ron is weak on protecting The U.S. from terror. Ron needs to let the people know who would be gathering intelligence and acting on it in the absence of the CIA and The Department of Home Land Security.

Anyhow, the campaign guy on the phone was somewhat arrogant and asked me, "You don't think we prepare for Ron going into this kind of hostile environment?" I'm thinking to myself, "you certainly don't know all and at least you could listen to your supports ideas without being condescending."

I don't like when Ron says "just come home" or "just mind our own business." It sounds too simplistic, most people seem turned off by these explanations. If he could find another way of describing this, it would be more effective in my opinion.

O'Reilly will definetly be attacking him with all he's got tonight.

All Dr. Paul has to do is watch a couple episodes of O'Reilly. Bill uses the same tactics ad nauseam.

I like the phrases, because they are memorable, but I agree that he needs to step up and lay out his plan for defending our country. We know it. But, I don't think he has adequately explained it to the American people, yet.

YEs I agree. I would hope they would read some of teh suggestions made here- he may be testy with you b/c he prob. gets alot of these calls a day....but hopefully they are reading the suggestions b/c we are the ones watching with a critical eye but a desire to have him win.....

Also I would hope he would reiterate he did vote for us to go into Afghansiatn! He is not against retaliation that will make us safer - but Iraq was never about that. I hope he says that instead of sounding like he is a pacifist b/c he is not!

They're arrogant? What about YOU??? They're paid professionals who have seen elections and know how to deal with the media. How do you think they feel when you call them up acting like they don't know shit? Look, you want to help, but don't you think it is insulting to give suggestions to people who are far more qualified to handle this type of thing?

Rons got to appeal to Oriellys EGO, and talk in a way where he finds common agreeable ground. Someone at HQ should've spent time studying O'reillys political beleifs so Ron can focus on addressing those that are sympatico to get a favorable interview with him.

Thats how I would play this one.

Sure, Ron can take the opposite approach to create thunder and fireworks and get people talking for days about the explosion.

In the end, Ron may get turned into an entertainment media tool, and not be taken seriously as a presidential candidate, who knows how to negotiate diplomatically and get along with others.

People who run around lighting fires and setting off explosions are ultimately feared is what I am getting at.

Ron needs to keep with his logical reasoning tonight, siting historical references, facts and the Constituion to support himself, along with a warm smile.

I'd also like to see him fianlly spit out something SIMPLE, as far to many vierw him as being too complex.

All he needs to keep saying is,

I am simple to understand if you know the U.S. Constitution and it's history and reasoning. If you hate me, you hate it. If you fear me, you fear it. If you don't understand me, you don't understand it, and if you disagree with me, you disagree with it.

If you agree with me and understand me, you agree with and understand the Constitution. Simple as that.

Oh, and I was REALLY, piqued, when at the SC speech, he said something to the effect of this-

People say the Constitution is old and outdated, along with me and my ideas.

If you look at the History of humankind, most civilizations have lived under oppressive governments. The idea of freedom is still new by comparison. Our country and it's Constituion has only been around for a couple hundred years and we still need to give it and the freedoms it was founded upon a chance.

I'd like to hear him sneak that in more too.

Not so.

You don't think the campaign prepares for this?

IMHO, you just took up two minutes of the campaign staff's time.

Per FNC, the interview is advertised as "Showdown Over Iraq: Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul goes head-to-head with Bill"

 

[ThePieSwindler]

O'reilly is on.. but ron paul is on tonight at 8 pmon the SHOW, the oreilly factor, not the radio factor.

 

[Slugg]

Nevermind

LOL

 

[Kregener]

Perhaps some of you are over-complicating it?

The TRUTH has stood well on its own since the dawn of civilization.

 

[mconder]

but don't you think it is insulting to give suggestions to people who are far more qualified to handle this type of thing?

That's a real bullshit attitude? What qualification does Ron Paul have to comment on the economy and chastise the Fed Chairman? Did he go to school to be an economist or has he ever been employed in the finance industry? Do you know my background? I could have 20 years experience in PR for fortune 500 companies for all you know. It's ridiculous for you to think that I should not be able to call the campaign and make suggestions, especially for what I have put into this.

He needs to stress how our involvement in Iraq has made us weaker and more vulnerable, has weakened our armed forces and made us more at risk. Bush has all but demolished our military and yet people cling to the idea that he is about a strong military. He needs to stress how bad the Iraq debacle has been for American in myriad of ways. Not to mention that our men and women should not be dying for any purpose except in defense of this country - certainly not to enforce UN sanctions and certainly not force Iraqis to have a democracy they clearly don't want or understand. It is so sickening - the people crying loudest and longest about protecting America and supporting the military are the ones who have put us at the most risk and decimated the military.

I think Ron would do well, Bill O'Reilly isn't the smartest person
