The View video (youtube)

Yeah, people always overract here. Someone says one little thing they don't like and OMG, they hate Ron Paul! No woman will ever vote for him now! Blah blah blah. Before this interview, people liked the idea of him reaching out to the woman vote and getting his name out there. But after the interview, they complain about the interview! Ron Paul didn't do well, the women didn't like his pro life views, he never should have went on, blah blah blah. I liked him going on and I liked his performance! Overall, I think it was a good interview and good exposure.
 
Dr. Ron Paul continues to impress. Could it get any tougher then hyper-opinioned women grilling you on abortion?

People overreact here because they are likely trying to de-rail the campaign and lower our resolve. Anyone who believes every single person on this forum is an actual Ron Paul supporter is deluded. We are on other campaign forums seeing what is going on, I'm sure they are here. I wouldn't be surprised if other campaigns had paid staffers on here just trying to piss everyone off and turn us against each other. These are probably the same people who act immaturely to turn off new members.

He did a good job answering their ridiculous questions. A bunch of 3rd graders could conduct a better interview than that.
 
Damn, that was an amazing interview!! What the hell are you people talking about on the other threads, lmao - god, I was sooo scared to watch this! He put THEM on the defensive on abortion, he made them think... Joy got bit back on her comments...he got in a plug that he was anti-war... he was calm, cool and collected. I thought it was really really good.


I agree, he did excellent as usual.
 
After reading all the comments in other threads about this interview, I was expecting a disaster.

But it wasn't bad at all. RP held his own, dealt with the abortion issue to the extent that they allowed him to speak, had the opportunity to talk briefly about his sound money stance, and so on. Given the limited time they gave him, he did exceptionally well. It also won't be lost on viewers that the hosts kept interrupting him and therefore limited his time to respond to their questions and comments. There will be viewers like me who consider that rude for hosts to do. Such behavior reflects poorly on interviewers, not interviewees.

You have to realize that The View isn't held in high regard by all women and that abortion, which the women made the dominant issue, doesn't have anywhere near the importance for all of us.

Finally, note that a large number of women really dislike this program. It makes all women look like idiots (thank goodness there's Whoopi, who is at least intelligent!), strident, and politically clueless.
I haven't had TV for years, but when I did, The View wasn't one of the programs I watched!!
 
He did good, but the abortion part could have gone smoother. I says this and then realize that I'd probably screw it up royally if I was in the middle of women all talking at the same time. Good grief!
 
After the fiasco of what people said about Glenn Beck calling us "terrorists" and then finally getting to see the video in question, I tend not to listen to anyone until I have seen the video. There are some here who blow EVERYTHING out of proportion.

As others have stated, Dr. Paul just got name recognition with ALOT of people who didn't know about him before. He could have answered some of the questions better, but I think he did fine being in a slightly hostile environment. Considering what the other candidates would have probably done(stammered out an answer that abortion was completely bad without any explanation, etc.) I think he made great points with watchers by showing a logical process about his way of thinking.

Dr. Paul needs to go on a show like Glenn Becks. Even if he's hostile(again, I've NEVER seen Glenn hostile in his one-on-one interviews, only when he is demagoging), Dr. Paul will get his name and his ideas out there. He can only be HELPED by the NEIA's recent reports on Iran. I could see Glenn backing down some here, but I doubt he would ever change his mind about needing to attack Iran. Dr. Paul will have much more time to respond on Glenn's show as well as get in more issues.
 
I didn't think it was terrible, but you should see some of the comments to that YT video. Is this how we want to show ourselves, burning every bridge the campaign tries to create by bashing them?

Cripes. What I'm seeing from the bashers isn't cool. This needs to stop before the campaign begins to hurt because of it, seriously.
 
I don't understand how Whoopi thinks she understands the law of abortion better than a 10 term congressman who spent 30 years as an obgyn doctor. What's next, telling Lance Armstrong that cancer patients are wimps?
 
I thought the interview went well. He was able to sneak in the anti-war stance and that will really resonate with this soccer mom demographic IMO. I particulary do not like the View because I cant stand that they all talk over each other. Dr Paul did excellent in this situation. It makes me want to run into traffic!! :eek:He remained cool, calm and got his points out there (if you could hear over the yappin!!!) overall the name recognition is what we need!!
 
Write The View And Ask For More Dr. Paul

The best thing we can do is to write to The View and tell them how much we enjoyed that segment and ask them to have him on again. A couple thousand emails should do the trick! Follow this link to The View mail page:

"gun to your head, who would you vote for"

jesus christ, how many times does he have to obviously evade this question?
 
I was scared when I read the other thread, but it wan't nearly bad. He didn't clarify his abortion stance as well as he could have, but on the other hand he appeared communicative, asking them their opinions, etc. I think women like that (or so they say xDD)
 
Talking about aborting to a room filled with woman and you are pro-life? phew...Ron Paul kicked some ass right there.
