to people who say RP doesn't speak well.

[RonPaulFTFW]

so what if he gets a bit jumbled.

he's a 70 year old man who is being attacked constantly by total assholes.

we should support him 100 percent.

 

[Dave Pedersen]

I agree but if he can simply remember to remain calm I think that would help quite a bit.

 

[Liberty Star]

He was convincing and succinct and did very well.


I had missed first part completely.

Here are ALL of Ron Paul's replies at the ABC/N.H. Republican debate. Due to great conversation between Ron Paul and others, this video is split into 2 parts....

He was super here, a wise man surrounded between couple of idiots on Foreign Policy issue.

Giulaini actually knows better but is pandering to Israel lobby. Romney just can't even say the terms right he is citing and was coached by his briefers, he is very ignorant on this issue. God save America from these two idiots, they will be no better than Bush/Cheney and team neocon of Perle/Wolfowitz/Bolton types they had surrounded themselves with who pushed America into preemptive blunder of Iraq.

 

[Ron Paul Fan]

I support him 100% and I thought this was by far his BEST debate.

 

[Ryokucha]

The only thing I did not like was when he was over talked by Mitt about his foreign policy. Then Rudy got in on it, and then the moderator did not give time to Ron Paul to then reply back to the attack. Instead he changed the question.

Also Mitt did not answer Dr. Paul's question about how would he like it if China had come over here and done exactly what we have done in the middle east.

Now I do not blame Paul for this, I just think he is being polite, something most of those guys on stage would have to look up just to figure out what it meant. Sadly there are a lot of people out there who see politeness in a candidate as a weakness.

 

[Ron Paul Fan]

Compared to the other candidates, Ron Paul had a GREAT performance. My friend, who is an undecided voter in NH agreed and his now voting for Paul on Tuesday.

 

[Liberty Star]

LOL

yuiop ,

If Thompson, Giuliani, Romney are such great communicators, can you give a brief summary having listened to them in this debate what differentiates one from the other on Iraq war, foreign policy, fiscal policies, Constitutional liberties issues?


IMO they are Bush/Cheney with slight variations but I'd like to see your impression based on their communications.

 

[Ryokucha]

Only Ron talks at 100 miles an hour after he gets going hardly pausing for breath in between statements. He seems angry and probably is and acts like he is throwing a fit of temper. It doesn't help that he waves his hand around and his voice is high-pitched. He just doesn't come across as a calm rational person but a crank and a shrill one at that.

He speaks fast because he knows they will not give him much time, they are ready to cut him off as soon as he goes for a breath. They do it all the time in debates with Ron Paul.

Angry, well I am angry just watching the debate and seeing 5 clones on stage getting taken seriously, while the only guy thinking out side the box is considered the wacko.

The hand movements don't bother me at all. That is something most every President has done. He reminds me a lot of Reagan especial when he did that thumb gesture to indicate the rise of oil.

 

[RonPaulFTFW]

Ron paul is a real man who speaks from knowledge and not slick talking points.

you'd be annoyed and frustrated too if you had to put up with them all the time.

i love ron paul.

RP is a man of substance and what he says here is grounded in facts. Loudest talker on the table is not always right.

 

[Indy Vidual]

My assessment is about how they communicated their message, not really about the content of the message.

That is what the thread is about.

Many people are finally ready for real change.

[SiouxMe]

Have you watched any of his speeches to deaf ears on the Congressional floor? Take a look at some of those and tell me he doesn’t speak well. He sounds very Presidential in his Congressional speeches.

Here’s a link to one such speech, there’s plenty more to be found on YouTube.

I do support him 100%, but I still wish he had some better coaching. I don't mean pandering. But, Paul doesn't have time to teach an economics or history course, and most people aren't interested, anyway.

For instance...

Dr. Paul, what about blah blah healthcare?

The first words out of his mouth should be. "I've been a practicing doctor for over 50 years. In that time, I've delivered over 4,000 babies, so I know a lot about the healthcare system in general and how it works." Then he can move on to his points.

It's often not enough to tell people what you know. He needs to tell people why he knows it, so they're receptive to his answers in the first place. The same goes for plenty of other issues. He should also be pointing out his record more often on a number of issues.

 

[Kingfisher]

I was turned off by his voice at first. Now its music to my ears!

 

[worl]

The coaching is the problem

Ron has the message right but he has been hammered with Foreighn pollicy. The american people watched 3000 people killed on 9/11. Most will not admit the US was responsable. I know it was our foreighn policy that was to blame but ron can'ot sit there & let these others get the last word in like last nite. He did'nt mention the 100 years either & that would have helped him to bring mcCain down. He should have demanded a reply to every attack. Its just my opinion & I am new here but I believe Ron needs some good campain management & coaching.

 

[WilliamC]

I think it is too late for Ron Paul to do anything about his presentation, but I wish he could.

Impressions matter and sometimes Ron Paul doesn't leave a good one.

 

[hayeksrevenge]

I am amazed that any "true" Ron Paul supporter would have any detracting comments for Dr. Paul. He is an accomplished man and a staunch supporter of our Constitution and the people of this country. Without him, where would we be in this election? We, that is, those of us who value freedom over government tyranny, would have no voice what-so-ever in this election cycle without Dr. Paul.

If you think that you can accomplish more than Dr. Paul has, then go get elected to Congress and prove it. Otherwise, keep your whining and negativity to yourself.

 

[worl]

The coment you made

is out of line & if you think labeling people here who make constructive coment of how to improve something will help any Then go ahead. The fact is what I said is true. You don't understand that people seen all the others attacking Paul on foreign pollicy & they have done that in every debate. Its about time to start attacking them. Paul could have done that to mcCain last nite.

 

[Kingfisher]

I have been a Ron Paul supporter for years. I wouldnt think of voting for anyone else. But I think he could present his ideas a little better. I think maybe he doesnt realize he is talking over the heads of many voters. He should challenge any and all of them to a one on one debate. I bet none would accept.

I have my own flaws, and welcome criticism. Do you think Paul was born as he is, or do you think he's improved throughout his life? I'm willing to bet he's lived a life of constant improvement, and I doubt he did it in a vacuum.

I'm also a "true" supporter of my children and family. I expect improvement from them as they move through life. There's not a single thing wrong with that.
