Video from ABC this morning:

[sailingaway]

I love him using his declaration speech to rebut Streptococcus!

 

[mcgraw_wv]

Honestly, that interview did nothing to elevate RP, he needs to stop providing easy points to attack him... There is no need to criticize the OBL raid... and now that's all anyone wants to talk about. For what was supposed to be a large announcement, it was flat, and uneffective for the audience.

 

[pcosmar]

There is no need to criticize the OBL raid....

Why?
It was a farce done for political points.
You don't really believe that shit do you.

p.s. Bin Laden has been dead for 10 years.

No? But truth is treason in the Empire of Lies, and anyone who speaks the truth will be attacked for it. So, under these conditions, does he lie or does he deal with attacks? Either/or.

He was asked about it AND he had to rebut the smears/spin against him on the OBL issue.
Not only that, but failing to attack Obama's mishandling of the OBL raid could very well be the same as conceding the general election to him. This is something the other republican candidates are going to realize sooner or later.

 

[CUnknown]

LOL @ how he wouldn't let georgie get a word in edgewise. that is how you do it Dr. Paul!

God yes ... it was such a beautiful thing to watch him just talk over that douchebag. George better listen and maybe he'll learn something!

 

[rockandrollsouls]

This was an awful appearance. No filter at all. Those seeing him for the first few times would have likely been completely turned off by the way he phrased things here.

Ron did not perform well. I really cringed at that.

 

[rockandrollsouls]

The campaign should be coaching him on how to respond to attacks like this. Example, when asked why he shouldn't run as an independent, he should have hammered home the point he is a true republican, it is some of his fellow candidates that aren't, and that even Reagan endorsed him.

When asked about foreign policy, he should have said he is steadfast in the Republican view of foreign policy; a strong defense.

And the issue about FEMA and the home, he could have phrased it much, much better. He needed to stress that he is never for anyone losing their home in a circumstance like that, but he believes that there are more efficient ways than FEMA to handle it. He could have cited the poor job they did in a number of disasters.

The former are not my own viewpoints; rather, I'm simply summing up the stances of Ron in an easily digestible format for the masses.

Terrible performance. I'm convinced we will lose now....the campaign is CLUELESS.

So, I guess no more posts from you now? Since we've already lost.

Typical attitude here. If you're not evoking scences from Braveheart it's not good enough. I want to win and the strategy you've supported is not conducive to winning. This was proved in 1988 and 2008.

Of course, feel free to ignore everything else in my constructive post except for the part that sets you off.

Well because the last lines makes the rest of your post pointless. Why offer constructive criticism when it's a lost cause?

Cool, Nothing constructive=ignore all.

 

[rockandrollsouls]

Post before that one, which was a response to the troll that joined a month ago.

But feel free to stay grinning while we're losing, again. You guys want to stick with the same tactics because it feeds your ego and you hear what you want to hear. "Oh my if Ron isn't constantly feeding me ear candy about the dollar and closing all the departments I think I'll explode."

Cool, Nothing constructive=ignore all.

 

[The Moravian]

Whatever the real truth about OBL is, it is all in the past now since he is certainly dead now. The points we need to make to win people over must be:

1. Concrete - not theoretical statements that aren't connected to action. Theoretical musings result in the Civil Rights Act trap that Rand got attacked with last year and are getting RP into a similar trap by second-guessing the assassination of OBL.

2. Positive - What DO we want, instead of only saying what DON'T we want. "Restore the American dream of free people charting their own course and deciding for themselves in a free market instead of the federal government planning their lives for them and limiting their choices..."

3.Decisive - After 9/11, Dr. Paul immediately called for letters of marque and reprisal to target the terrorists, introduced laws restoring the right to self-defense to the airline companies and demanded that the President enforce immigration laws that would keep our country safer than violating our rights with the PATRIOT Act, creating the TSA and waging undeclared wars against countries not shown to be involved in the attacks.

What makes me a troll? The fact that I joined a month ago? I don't understand your reasoning behind that. I'm not going to get into an argument about who knows or has supported Ron Paul the longest, because that is just silly.

The fact is you said he will lose and I figured since you know that you'd stop posting. If you want to continue supporting a campaign that is "CLUELESS" (your words, not mine) then go ahead.

 

[rockandrollsouls]

The fact you take something I say and attempt to relate it to something completely unrelated.

Ex. Opinion we will lose by using same failed strategy = So you won't be posting/supporting since you think we will lose.

You must be, what, 18-20? I suggest you delete your former posts, as you managed to spin something that could be incredibly beneficial into a flamewar now.

You came on here having a tirade and calling the campaign clueless, and said we have no chance because you don't like how things are going.....hm. What are you 8-10?

 

[rockandrollsouls]

Exactly. The way Ron is speaking now on some of these issues makes it sound like he wouldn't have done anything. He needs to explain that he was the one that wanted to act first, immediately, and in the most efficient manner.

Letters of Marque, alternatives to some of these big government programs that are more efficient and beneficial.

He needs to hammer home he is a republican, and the best republican.

Sadly, I've got to say that I agree with you. But, there's not much we can do. Dr. Paul is going to do what he is going to do.

 

[rockandrollsouls]

Here we go. Can one of the mods stomp this out please?
