Ron Paul's message to supporters

[asurfaholic]

I love Ron Paul to death, but he admitted right there that the plan to tweak the GOP platform is a load of garbage as we all know. Changing the platform won't change a GOP full of statist warmongers. What exactly is the goal here? It doesn't look like there is one.

You stopped listening as soon as he said "there's truth [to the people who say platform means nothing]".

Go back and listen again or go away. Your comprehension skills suck.

This is total garbage. If the aim of Ron Paul/the campaign was truly to get the nomination, then I would at least like to hear some acknowledgement that he did not win. But his speech makes it seem as if things went perfectly according to plan and he is going to have an influence in the Republican party. Who knows if this will happen, I think Pat Buchanan tried something similar a decade ago and no one remembers. He should run as an independent, I see him now as never having been interested in winning. If he doesn't its either Obama or Romney and will need to decide between the lesser of 2 evils.

Wouldn't that be the Paul Festival?

If
It might or might not be. Ron Paul was pretty specific. 1 day. afternoon and night. I don't know from that whether Paul Festival is part of that or not.
Ron Paul himself is the big draw. If it's not at Paul Festival, Paul Festival won't have a big draw and won't have a lot of people. On the other hand, Paul Festival
becomes part of the fabric, secondary to the main Sunday night show, and it will be the size it will be, whatever that is. If there is Ron Paul Sunday night, somewhere, there will be people there. The Paul Festivals job is to get some of THOSE people to Paul Festival. Provide the amenities for 7 days of grassroots central.

He was always interested in winning. He just knew it was unlikely.

What? For one thing, Gary Johnson is running. He's credible. His resume isn't really too different from Romneys. GJ was a 2 term Governor, Romney only 1. Is Virgil Goode running on the Constitutional Ticket? There aren't just 2 choices.

Ron Paul pretty much knows that anything that sounds like "bad news" is not what we want to hear. He said right away "I'm going to focus on good news" or something.
He's giving a pep talk, trying to focus on what can be accomplished at the convention short of winning. It's exactly what I thought he'd say, except I was surprised by the anti Santorum tone, and the announcement of the rally on Sunday afternoon-evening was definitely a surprise. I think he was kidding when he said "don't be disrepectful". He meant he can't publicly encourage being disrespectful.

That. Was. Awesome. Thank you, Dr. Paul!

I love Ron Paul.

Ramp it up for Tampa!! No One But Paul!!!

Ron Paul never fails to encourage me. He has to feel bad that he didn't do better than he did, but he knows showing that will not help the cause of liberty move forward. He is like a dad to me, especially since mine died when I was just a kid.

Will anybody be holding bus trips around the Florida area?

 

[romancito]

Wow. Ron Paul is sticking to his "war on ideas" as the basis for his movement's success. No surprises with that. So he wants to go to the Convention as "delegates with ideas." Lets see, "Ron Paul delegates with ideas" will push for all of those themes he mentioned as important economic paradigms that must change in order for the country to turn around and become prosperous again. Good luck with that. It will take an outright catastrophic depression, deflation followed by hyper inflation and complete social collapse for the powers that be would even consider to change anything they hold dear.

In the meantime in Egypt the delegates to the parliament were dismissed this week and the parliament was dissolved. My congressman is running unopposed. More drones than they know what to do with them. Everything keeps slowly automating to make people walk in single line holding hands or not holding hands, but in single line. Well, Ron Paul's message sounded to me like more "walk in single line holding hands - run fast and wait."

Wait some more. Wait some more. Wait some more.

Remnant is famous.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Jay_Nock

In his 1936 article "Isaiah's Job",[4] which appeared in the Atlantic Monthly, Nock expressed his complete disillusionment with the idea of reforming the current system. Believing that it would be impossible to convince any large portion of the general population of the correct course and opposing any suggestion of a violent revolution, Nock instead argued that libertarians should focus on nurturing what he called "the Remnant".

The Remnant, according to Nock, consisted of a small minority who understood the nature of the state and society, and who would become influential only after the current dangerous course had become thoroughly and obviously untenable, a situation which might not occur until far into the future. Nock's philosophy of the Remnant was influenced by the deep pessimism and elitism that social critic Ralph Adams Cram expressed in a 1932 essay, "Why We Do Not Behave Like Human Beings".[5]

I actually think he did remarkably well. When you consider the tiny amount of exposure he received on television, which like it or not is how most people still get their news, his success reminds me of loaves and fishes. The other candidates recieved much more air-time and positive coverage than Ron Paul, and there's a study on that very subject that confirms that to be the case.

When I first read Paul supporters moaning on about how their candidate was virtually blacklisted by the mainstream media my first thought was "oh well, they would say that, wouldn't they". All it took was a little investigation to find out these people were actually telling the truth! When the rich and powerful in the government and the media are hand-in-glove to maintain the status quo then someone like Ron Paul starts out at a bad disadvantage, he's Kryptonite to their "Superman", if you will. The last thing these people want is someone like Ron Paul going around in the media telling the truth about how big government and big business are in bed together, how war is nearly always nothing more than a racket, how your civil liberties are being destroyed on the basis of a phoney argument... we all know this, and more, we've all heard Dr. Paul's message and been woken up. The next big thing we have to do is stay awake and carry the message on to the next sleepwalker.

And by the way, I'm so sorry to read about your Dad, I really am. Please excuse my ramblings, I have a tendency to rattle on sometimes.

I love it! I love Ron Paul! No one but Paul!!!

Ron Paul message to supporters:

Can somebody put this video top center on the home page?

*Is sailingaway ok?

What happened to Sailingaway?

When is he going to say what the actual plan of action is? They keep talking about it but no one seems to have any idea what it is...

Ron can't come right out and say this so I'll tell you what the plan is. The delegates are going to go into Tampa, follow the rules, make sure the rules are followed by everyone else, and the delegates are going to win the nomination for Ron Paul. Some say it's unlikely. Maybe. Some say it's impossible. (Wrong.) That's the plan, and that's what's going to happen.

Some people call me crazy. They are entitled to their opinion. I prefer to think of myself as an optimist who has done many things in life that were supposed to be impossible. There really isn't much that is impossible. People fool themselves into believing things are impossible, but it's usually a lie. The moment you realize you've been believing a lie, many possibilities open up to you.

There are tons of possibilities... And if there is anyone with the determination, passion, and voice to make the "impossible" happen it is Ron Paul delegates. We have already seen that many times along the way...

Wait some more. Wait some more. Wait some more.

The National convention is more than two months away still. Wait some more. Hang in there and stay positive.

With all due respect, I think you have not been listening to Ron Paul's message... the "Powers that Be" are not going to be in power forever. We are making sure of that. Whether Ron Paul wins the Presidency this time around or not, this movement is not over. This movement of the people is just really picking up serious momentum, and it is growing exponentially.

The "war on ideas" is what this is all about. The more minds we awaken, the harder it will be to stop Liberty from taking back our government from the corrupt politicians, bankers, and corporations. I know it is hard to be patient, but truly the goal is not to make one man President. The goal is to wake up the entire country until the Liberty Movement IS THE MAJORITY IN CONTROL of our politics. (Of course making Ron Paul the President is a nice goal that fits in very nicely with the bigger picture too, don't get me wrong. But if that doesn't happen, it does not mean we lose.)

We are trying to change things from the inside in our politics, but THE MORE PEOPLE WHO WAKE UP, the more people who understand the message of Liberty, THE EASIER IT WILL BE TO CHANGE OUR POLITICS. Do one, and the other one will follow sooner, or later.

This is a reality that cannot be stopped. The "powers that be" will try, and they are trying now, but you cannot stop this thing. It is much bigger than one man, or hundreds of delegates, or a war on ideas. This is the TRUTH AND THE PEOPLE ARE WAKING UP TO THE TRUTH. Government cannot maintain this corruption forever, because Liberty never dies. It has been asleep for awhile. But the people are waking up, and Liberty will crush Tyranny again.

You cannot stop it. No one can stop it.

NOW or NEVER!!!

Time to PUSH and PRESSURE Romney out in the public for a Worldwide debate with the good doctor.... The debate is very crucial and necessary between the last two final candidate which will clearly show the clarity of who the public is going to support without outside undue influence

Its up to the Ron Paul Movement to do this... put out an advert, make articles, make prints, public petitions, threats of boycotts to media services and marketing clients, rally marches, congressional lobby, etc.... at best still people will wake up to the shenanigans of a rigged election

SCRUTINY with the open public in deciding the best nominee will give the best fair evidence that will override Republican bias decision (US Public Consensus vs Republican Party).

 

[abruzz0]

Why is Ron Paul so amazing?

 

[unknown]

Seems to me like the delegates are going with the goal of getting Ron Paul the nomination whether the campaign realizes it or not.

Never stop fighting.

 

[devil21]

Two things.

Ron is even worse when reading a teleprompter. He's at his best when he's just speaking his mind. That speech was half teleprompter, half ad lib.

Second, that's a mixed message video if Ive ever seen one. When he's reading the teleprompter, he's playing ball with the party. When he's ad libbing he uses words like "fill the vacuum" and don't allow authoritarians to win. Maybe I'm projecting but it really looks like Ron just said to win this thing but to do it the right way and use our strength to be friends with the party.
