Ron Paul on Jay Leno (9/4/12) - The OFFICIAL Thread

[squirekyle]

My announcement prediction - Ron Paul to moderate the first Presidential debate.

Now THAT would be my ONLY reason to watch any of these overrated PD debates

I hope he doesn't go into retirement. I expect him at the helm of C4L, using it as an issues group to keep congress honest.

I wish I shared your enthusiasm. C4L is moving away from Ron Paul into Rand Paul/conservative Republican territory.

Did he not watch the preview? He was kidding about 2016.

 

[Peace&Freedom]

it was a joke about running in 2016.

Perhaps the joke will be on the establishment, if he does run in 2016.

There you go...it's over. I'm done with hoping that him being indirect does in fact mean that "there's a chance". He clearly does just want to let it go now.

This seems to me to be leading to a Rand Paul 2016 run with maybe Ron as campaign manager or some leadership position in the campaign?

Sorry but they're still issue-oriented as always. Not saying you but in addition to freaking out on Ron's GOP restoration project now people are flaming at C4L. Next time these people run into Ron make sure and tell him how disappointed in Rand yall are. Then ask him ask him to autograph something for ya and see how that turns out.

 

[KramerDSP]

If Ron Paul runs in 2016, he becomes Harold Stassen. I'd rather he be remembered as Cato The Younger.

What I really want to hear is what he said right after the clip ended. They were still on topic...

Say it ain't so. People would have nothing to bitch about then nor would they feel in the clear for washing their hands of it.

Stay motivated folks...I see folks complaining on facebook---that is so silly! An appearance like this is not for you--the hardcore activist. It's for the normal folks.
Stay motivated! Ron Paul is huge!

Foreign policy's been axed as an issue at C4L. No "libertarian" issues-based organization that moves away from foreign policy is worth a second of anyone's time.

Or worse, Lyndon La Rouche.

The public does not take a presidential candidate seriously the 4th time around.

Letter to Ron Paul from Evan Cutler about the teleconference

My slightly edited letter to Dr. and Carol Paul today--edits noted with brackets.

Hello Dr. and Carol Paul,

I held a teleconference last night on the subject of your supporters persuading you back into the race Dr. Paul.

The response was overwhelming!

The short story is that [edited for privacy: many important members of the Libertarian party and campaign] contacted me, and they would do what it takes to have you on their ticket as a VP Candidate. They have spoken with [edited for privacy: ...and inform me] you will get the VP spot on their ticket if you will take it. The vast majority of their party activists and organizers want you. The infusion of energy your supporters will bring to that party will bring light to all you and they have worked for in a way that your mere endorsement will not.

The bigger story is that by my simply posting the link to our teleconference in our Private Alaskans for Ron Paul 2012 groups, and one post on the Lawyers for Paul group, I set off a firestorm. Word grew exponentially in just one day.

Our teleconference room was filled to capacity (1,000), with 1800+ people participating. It was live streamed and listened to by another 1,100 people on just one internet channel, and it was live streamed elsewhere.

Many of your National Delegates and State Activist Leaders were on the call, but also many Libertarians, Democrats, and Independents. This is just the beginning.

The people want you to give us two more months and help spread the message of liberty. There are of course concerns by some (particular those running for office), but there is a commitment by most to keep working in the Republican Party, and to do everything they can to convince you to run. My incoming email is more than I can handle, and our best Alaskan delegates and activists are working right now to put in new infrastructure and speed up the communication. You will see an immense wave of support in the coming days this week.

The Libertarian Party needs to hear from you soon, if this will work.

I can put you or your people in touch with them.

We NEED you not to give up. It’s not about winning the election, it’s about spreading the message of Liberty. If you will but give us two more months, you will magnify your life’s work and reach the largest audience yet. You will electrify your supporters and send an important message to those who would suppress fair participation in all parties. Your joining the Libertarian ticket will instantly get the polling up high enough that you will be included in the nationally televised debates. And we will bring tens of millions of dollars quickly to their struggling campaign. They are under attack by the Romney Campaign, trying to strip them of ballot access in several states, but they are in the very strongest position for your run…and your joining them will bring the support they need.

Besides, on the off chance that you actually win, being VP is a lot easier than President.

Please let me know what we can do to help convince you. I can send you the most pertinent communications I’ve received, and a link so you can hear our two hour call from last night for yourself. I can send you the call logs to prove I’m telling the truth.

We will keep trying to win your support for our support, Dr. Paul, We’ve worked too hard to quit now.

And remember, Miracles do happen! The Berlin Wall came down in a day! The Soviet Empire dissolved without a civil war! Women got the vote!

Everyone around the country tells me the only signs they really see are for Ron Paul. Your grassroots support is so much more than you know, especially if you are not on a Republican ticket.

We all know the risks to our progress in the Republican Party, but that movement won’t stop,

More good than harm will come from your taking this risk,

We need you to stand tall for Liberty sir, just a bit longer, please,

Sincerely,

Evan

I like the Idea of Adam being Secretary of Defense. I like that UN Inspector Scott Ritter too, I think he would be a good Secretary of Defense.

Scott Ritter should be the Secretary of Puppy Love,He understands their pain.
