Start preparing, Ron Paul WILL run for President in 2012!!! [Mod Note: RUMOR]

[AZ Libertarian]

Video of Carol Paul!

I'll donate $1,000 if he runs. Does anyone else remember the interview in Louisville (at the Rally for the Republicans for Rand Paul)? I think it was after the rally - a couple of amateurs with a camera (can't find the tube now - dang). They asked him (or was it his wife?) if Ron would run in 2012, and he (or she?) said he would if he thought his county needed him, i.e., if there were a financial crisis that he had predicted and was uniquely prepared to address.

This time around, he'll have an outspoken son in the senate who will be on cable news every night, as the defacto spokesperson/leader of the movement to return our country to constitutional principles!

I had to read every thread (I would have anyway heh heh) to see if anyone posted the video you referenced, but it wasn't, so I offer it here:

YouTube - Will Ron Paul run for president in 2012? Carol Paul: Yes.

In this video taken January 30th, 2010, Carol Paul states "If you were to ask him now, he would probably say… no…. but… he did say to someone the other night (Matt? LOL), he said, you know, things are happening so quickly, fast in our country, if we’re in a crisis period, and they need someone… with the knowledge he has, he would do it (emphasis mine), but I tell you it takes a lot out of you, it is something."

Being the Organizer of the FIRST Ron Paul for President MeetUp Group on the Planet, ( http://www.meetup.com/Ron-Paul-and-his-Campaign-for-Liberty-R3VOLUTION/ ) and also the Editor of THE R3VOLUTION CONTINUES Edition of Freedom's Phoenix, we follow this issue quite closely. Here is a picture we took here in Phoenix last December when he was here to speak at the Freedom Summit, we had him put on a 'Ron Paul 2012' hat on for a photo op. When Ron saw what was printed on the hat, he thought he was being slick, and turned the hat around backwards. WHAT HE DIDNT REALIZE was the glass door he was standing in front of:

Search of Freedom's Phoenix archives returns several hits concerning Ron's prospective 2012 run, and you can read them all and make your own conclusions here:

We're READY. But then again, some of us were BORN ready...

^^^^Damn!! That is one big-ass yarmulke Ron Paul is wearing!

 

[K466]

I hope you're right Matt Collins. How many weeks after the November elections do you expect him to announce a run?

 

[RonPaulFanInGA]

Is that McCain on the right?

 

[devil21]

Is that McCain on the right?

That's what I thought at first too but I don't think it's McCain. It's the other side of John's face that bulges out like that and his nose is a little smaller. Looks kinda like a Goldwater... Anybody know for sure?

on topic:
Im going to wait until Ron announces before I get excited. We've had more than a few of these "OMGZ" type threads in the past and Im not falling for another one. I'll believe it when I hear it from RP's mouth.

The first 1oz Kruggerand that I bought will go to Ron Paul if he announces that he will run again. I
can't wait to see how the mainstream media will react to that first official moneybomb. I'm predicting
20 million bucks. Hopefully there are 15,999 other Ron Paul fans with a 1oz gold coin that will throw
down with me!

hmm, i wish hehe but if your willing to snowboard or learn. I would be more then willing to be your personal guide on the mtns if you throw in another 1 oz to Ron Paul 2012 plus you get some good meals and possibly some green eggs and ham for breakfast

I will donate what i can though

 

[silverhandorder]

I think if he runs we will win it for him. Grassroots has grown since his run and a lot of are in hibernation. I bet anything that as soon as he runs many people who never followed politics will be sucked into his campaign.

 

[heavenlyboy34]

The Collins is never wrong.
!

you forgot the /sarcasm tag... lolz!!!

Thats a pretty smart idea. We could accomplish two things with one event: raise awareness about the value of gold and raise money for the campaign.

Somehow we need to set up an event "Gold for Ron" or something with a catchy little title

We are going to do a spontaneous money bomb the day that Ron Paul announces his candidacy! I've got my money ready donate right when he makes it official. What better way to make news than the have a few million dollars come in the day you announce your candidacy? Plus, it'll jump start the campaign.

+1 for this idea. I can't wait to make my first contribution to the good Doctor. I was too young to vote for him last time but am eager to campaign and contribute this time around. I already gave money to his son and it made every bit of difference in the primary.

Well I have voted for a few presidential candidates before, yet I feel as thought this will be my first real vote because it will be a liberty minded vote for the first time.

He really does have a chance in 2012; see Doug Wead's analysis at http://dougwead.wordpress.com/2008/12/11/how-ron-paul-wins-in-2012-step-one/ and at http://dougwead.wordpress.com/2008/12/15/ron-paul-and-karl-rove-dont-mix/

There are a few things Ron has to change, though. He has to really run to win, not just to educate, and he needs to be willing to brag (in a non-arrogant way) more about his pro-Constitution record.

This bears repeating. I got the impression he wasn't really trying in 2008. Yes, of course, the media and establishment were all aligned against him, but there were some things I thought he could have done, like challenging some primary results, that he didn't.

 

[Matt Collins]

I hope you're right Matt Collins. How many weeks after the November elections do you expect him to announce a run?

I'm always right.

But to answer your question, ask yourself when he announced his previous run

We are going to do a spontaneous money bomb the day that Ron Paul announces his candidacy!

Exactly why I said that everyone needs to start saving and get prepared (right after they max out to Rand of course)

Notice the VERY first word that Carol says in that answer
Oh, and I was standing right next to her and behind the camera when she said it.
That was at the Rand/Ron event on January 31 at the Louisville Expo Ctr. I'll never forget that day, I took Aimee Allen back to her place in an ice storm.

You guys realize that he has to win the Republican nomination, right? That means getting a plurality of Republicans on his side, when most of them are in almost lockstep agreement with either Mitt Romney or Sarah Palin.

 

[gilliganscorner]

Someone asked is that McCain on the right?

I thought it was Don Rickles

 

[Matt Collins]

What is the story with that pic?

 

[mstrmac1]

IDEA:

I could round up some money... Lets say $25,000 or so. We then have a grassroots contest for the most "grass rootsie" Ron Paul get out the message over a six months span.

What this would create is much more than $25,000 dollars worth of advertising, support, canvassing, unique billboards, blimps, etc... you get the idea.

If I raise the money I would need everyone else to be the creative side of rules committe/ and marketing of the contest.

What do you think?
