Ron Paul: Odds Have Been Slim [Past Tense]
- Thread starter jcarcinogen
- Start date
Ron has the best organized grassroots of all the GOP contenders. Ron can raise millions overnight. Ron has a message that instantly attracts people to it. Ron has received a massive amount of media attention compared to 2008. Ron has an excellent campaign staff that can produce fantastic ads. Ron is on the verge of winning the Iowa Caucus....
No Ron...the odds are not slim....you need to be confident and say "Our base is growing everyday and we are a real contender for the GOP nod".....
!!!!!!!!!!
Would not put it past the media for them to be twisting his words around to make it sound like hes not in it to win it...

As for wanting to be president, he has always said that. He doesn't want the power, he merely wants be a statesman and serve his country.
As for his support, who needs the media to spin things? He's speaking in the past tense, and the subject of this thread puts it in the present.
edit... fixed, nevermind

If he's starting to get numbers around %15 nationally, that's quite a fertile bed of solid from which to sprout a forest with the success of Iowa.
Today, I heard from my dad that a family member was actually considering Ron Paul... I couldn't believe it, I nearly gave up on her after unsuccessfully trying to explain in 2008 how Ron was our best bet. She felt the Patriot Act was necessary... Figured requirements were met for the suspension of habeas corpus - suggesting that we were being invaded.... :X She objected to decriminalizing drugs etc. I feel crazy just trying to make sense of these objections...
I think over the last four years, she's seems to have perhaps started to form a different perspective and maybe isn't feeling the government can do no wrong.
She apparently still has reservations about Ron's position on Iran, and that could be a deal breaker - but if she's even considering him now... Hopefully I can provide the final nudge with some relevant info.
Something's happening....

Odds are slim. It's us against the world, quite literally. He knows better than anybody else what we're up against. I see no reason not to be honest about this. When the odds are long, it doesn't mean you don't try. It means you try harder, because you're trying to overcome so much more. This is a decades long battle, and tomorrow won't be the culmination. Ron getting into the Oval Office won't be the culmination. The battle isn't won until we've changed enough hearts and minds to change the course of history. When they write the book about the Liberty movement, and how we took America back, tomorrow will be a half page in a 200 page book. Paul becoming President would be a chapter out of 12.
I think so. We all know he is in this to win it or he wouldn't be running. Unless he wins nothing changes. If he doesn't win this country is going to dissolve in a short time.

I agree 100% They are twisting his words or are catching him off guard in a depressed moment about all the lies the media continues to hit the air-waves with about him. It would be enough to make anyone break. He is only human.

Present perfect tense, I believe.

What would you prefer: "yes we can"?
Come on, this is a guy who has been spouting the same message for 30 years with little traction until now: odds HAVE been slim. Here's also a guy who has little suport from the MSM. He tells it like it is, BUT has worked harder than any of us for what he and we believe in, so I don't think were in much of a position to judge.

I believe the movement for liberty will flourish.
There's a reason with the SOPA and other acts, intensifying support for our cause.
We're beginning to expand to many, and we should recognize today as an opportunity to reach out to others, motivating them to join with us!

This is VERY VERY true.
The Patriot Act, NDAA, the Obama lovers are coming around.
That Glenn Greenwald article had an impact. It should be re-quoted repeatedly.

Ron only tells the truth.
This will be a tremendous battle. Prepare yourselves.

True but the way the media selectively reports on things like the NDAA (fox portrayed it as defense budget and Paul opposition as slashing the military) the mainstream will not be aware.

I really wish Ron would think about what he is saying to reporters and how it will be reported, before he says it. Regardless, the facts are that we aren't leading in the national polls. BUT, and this is a big but, if we win the Iowa Caucus, it's going to be a new ballgame. People who didn't think it was possible that he could win, are going to start believing.
This is going to be a long haul and we are going to have to fight for it every step of the way. But, it IS doable.

I think thts great. The media has to get off our backs. If they think he thinks its slim, maybe they'll cut their smears down.
