Paul and Huckabee should team up for a minute to interject their presence.

For a couple of minutes I thought it would have been really cool if they would have stood up together and walked out. I got over it though. I think the bad handling by CNN just makes more people notice that he is being obscured and that we are being manipulated.

Ron Paul for the long haul.
 
Thank you for your generous donation of $50.00!

Thank you very much for your donation to the Ron Paul 2008 Presidential Campaign.

Your donation will allow us to expand and grow our campaign.

We depend on donors like you to help us spread the message of freedom, peace and prosperity through Ron Paul’s candidacy.

You'll be welcome here I assure you..... as long as you keep fighting.
 
I've watched them do this to Ron over and over over the past 10 months. Each time, He stood there like a MLK or Gandhi.... sacrificial lamb.
Each time, we got more fired up...
Each time we donated more...
Each time our numbers grew...

Ron knows what he's doing... you win with peaceful resistance... because everytime they attack our leader, our legion grows in strength and number.
Missed the debate entirely and am now just reading this whole thread. The points in this post are right on. RP knows what he's doing.

Do the rest of you know how much more difficult it is to just sit and take it, rather than get up and walk? There's a REASON why RP is putting up with it.
 
Can someone CALL HIS PHUKKING HANDLERS - Lew, Ken, Jonathan..the NEW GUYS and tell them to FIRE RON THE PHUK UP!!! FIre him UP! Tell him he needs to speak up and take this friggin debate in hand!!!!

Why are his handlers DOING NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
His HANDLERS???? Ron Paul knows what he's doing! A real leader doesn't need to handlers!!!!!!!
 
You are all invited to Holland. :) But that is a last case scenario, your country is worth fighting for! :)
 
Hey Guy, were in the last mile... Super Tuesday is days away...

How many states, debates, and delegates do we need to lose to start worrying?

This is the last gasp of the first HALF (or even the first quarter) of the primary race. Delegate pickups after Feb. 5 will be just as, or more important than primary 'victories' from Jan 3-Feb 5. Delegates in 32 of the 50 states aren't even committed to a 'winner' in direct correspondance to the statewide popular vote in the primary.

McCain, Huck and Romney are strapped for cash (Romney in the sense of not wanting to spend his own anymore---he has not bought commercial spots for nearly ANY Super Tuesday state according to reports). In a narrowed field of broke contenders, Paul alone has prepared to fight the second half battle. If McCain closes in on 1150 delegates, start worrying then (or just switch into 3rd party run mode).
 
Ron did great. He was the only one who made a lick of sense.
QFT.

As usual, he was a class act.

People here are complaining that, among other things, Ron Paul needs to dumb down his message. But that's been the exact problem with the messages Americans have been receiving over past several decades. Over the years, the MSM have massaged their broadcasts so that their programs can be understood by a younger and younger audience.

Now the target age is eight years old. Yes, you read that right. Most of the drivel you see on TV is designed to be understood by the average 8-year-old. A decade or so ago, the target age was 12.

This is standard media policy.

So no matter what RP says (and how CAN you dumb the complex issues that he talks about?), the sheeple won't understand it anyway. So rather than try, Dr. P is directing his answers to the intelligentsia - certain academics, experts, the self-educated and others who like to do their own research.

Such experts often write columns and are guests on radio and TV.

Remember that the sheeple follow. They don't lead. Those experts that Dr. P is talking to are the kind of people whose advice the sheeple may follow.
 
You are all invited to Holland. :) But that is a last case scenario, your country is worth fighting for! :)

My ex was half Dutch and I tried to learn his language, but it really hurt my throat trying to make some of the sounds! So if I moved there, I'd need a translator.
 
this suggestion is absurd

ron paul isnt giving up on us??!!

excuse me??

yes he is!

he should have walked off the stage- that would have given him moral superiorority. that would have told me that he cares about us and is fighting for us.

Walking off the stage might have got attention, but probably the wrong kind.

Yes, I was and am disappointed with the grotesque bias of CNN's debate (the Fox ones were way better), and I wish someone would explain to Ron Paul the necessity of aggressive campaigning in Tv debates, its his only noticeable failing, but getting petulant would not have helped the campaign.

There will be more debates because neither Democrat nor Republican candidates will have a majority after Super Tuesday.

All candidates are very flawed except Ron Paul, and many of McCain's serious flaws were revealed tonight, so that's helpful because Huckabee & Romney will benefit from that, possibly Paul too.

Giving money to www.ronpaul2008.com is the best revenge. You think you people are concerned? Ron Paul is the only person who can save me from a lifetime of imprisonment in a US jail, so use that for motivation! Plus check out Ron Paul on the cover of the current Cannabis Culture Magazine, with an 11" x 17" Ron Paul poster inside!

For what little time he got to talk, Paul did really well. The best moment was when he basically said that Cain & Able were arguing over things that didn't matter.
That was classic!

The suggestions throughout this thread regarding him walking out.

That would have been the end of his run for President.

A President does not just get up and walk out. He politely lets the enemy destroy itself and then when the opportunity arises he pounces on them for the kill.

He made Cain look stupid. He made Able (Mitt) look stupid. He made Anderson dope look stupid. And he made CNN look stupid.

He made Huck look like a partner in the battle.
 
I've read the highlights (the few) around the web and it seems that many are thinking that this is Ron Paul's best. With bias was evidently so in your face, I'd think most people would turn off on McRomney.

(heading to bed to watch the rebroadcast...let's hope they don't edit out RP's strong points. g'night)
 
Wow! Reading thru this thread makes it very, very easy to spot the anti Ron Paul people/trolls.

I think I even spotted at least one sockpuppet too......
