Ron Paul On Sean Hannity

[Spirit of '76]

You should see the National Defense mailer the campaign sent out to delegate candidates here in WV. It makes him look like an ass-kicker.

They've sent out all kinds of mailers here. I'm gonna scan them and post them in a new thread.

Don't forget letters of marquee.

letters of marque, not marquee

Why does a positive Hannity interview scare me?

There are daggers in men's smiles. I still don't trust fox, or hannity.

I have expressed this comment to the campaign and his staffers and they agree with it, so it is a Dr Paul position. If he expressed it in a debate, forum, or somewhere else where the media would get it, I think he would rocket blast into the Republican nomination.

Send in a small elite group to take out the disbanded Bin Ladin and company. With the APPROVAL OF CONGRESS and proper intelligence gathering that has been examined and not ignored, like learning to fly and not land.

Well that is certainly both great and bad news...

Great because I can now begin adding this point to my discussions about Paul's foreign policy with undecided New Yorkers..

Bad because... What the HECK CAMPAIGN!!?? This is a total no-brainer imho. Americans are sensible - 70% want out of the war thank god - but they definitely do not want to "sound" or "appear" 'weak'.. Most american enjoy living vicariously through the 'greatest nation in the world' outward projection we currently have.. which takes us back to the way Paul "frames" his responses to such questions.

I think that adding this simple caveat would be a huge boon to Paul insomuch that a great many skeptical-of-non-intervention-fence-sitters would be willing to consider what Paul has to say much more seriously.

Surgical strikes using intelligence in any terrorist-harboring nation is precisely what we should be doing in a post 911 world. The nations that harbor them certainly dont want that kind of rouge element within their borders and whats more.. anybody thinking of joining such enterprises will have to always wonder, "is a bomb from a drone going to wipe out camp at any moment or are 2 dozen delta force going to storm in here in the middle of the night and kill every single one of us in less than 10 minutes"? To fight terrorism we must effectively terrorize the terrorists.

The people blowing themselves up are simply pawns of their masters.. and I'd wager that most of their masters fear death just as much as the next power hungry leader.

Don't forget letters of marquee.

Most people do not know what Letters of Marque even are. Dr Paul needs to state for everyone to hear, in Bill O'Reilly baby talk (I just saw him talking to the Reason guy and then downplaying Dr Paul due to pulling troops out) that he would use our intelligence gathering properly (not like pilots in training learning to fly and not land that our intelligence ignored) and would use elite forces with the authorization of Congress or letters of marque to keep America safe.

We need to get this message to headquarters so he can make it a point to explain this position at the debate (and forum if invited) so all the Republicans who thinks he wants to leave America unprotected "get it".

He will win in a landslide if he makes this point to all the war supporters left who think he is a wimp.

There are a few on this board who talk to Dr Paul, or have good contacts at the campaign. Get this message through... I think it would be huge to make this understood. Just saying he supports Letters of Marque means nothing to the average Rush listener.

this is not a test, i am listening to his radio show and he just said it himself. tune in now!!

"and apparently later on we'll have Ron Paul on the show, his supporters have been stocking me wherever i go"

Be very very careful here. The more intel you need the more covert agents you need, more secrecy, more Swiss bank accounts, more meddling, more bribes, etc...

I know one CIA agent is as effective in a war as 100 privates, but we shouldest be hated by these guys in the first place. It is a good solution in the midterm, till we get out of all these countries and get back to making money and paying off the debt. In the long term, do we really need all these agents? If any serious country attacks us we can just nuke them. And what reason would there be for Muslims to blow up our cities? Better to just buy intelligence from the Canadians, Swiss, British, and Israelis.

I would venture to say that the intelligence community would get along quite well with Ron Paul. I bet he wants to pick their brain on intel. Those veteran intel agents have seen the failures and fallouts of our interference in foreign nations.

Hannity just said out of the blue that he had Ron Paul on coming right up!
