what should ron say tonight / tomorrow night at the debates?

[misterx]

He needs to concentrate his attacks on Obama. Specifically I hope he goes after him on NDAA. Give the people something to be afraid of other than Iran. Fear is extremely motivating and people will vote to be kept safe from whatever they fear most. They have to be more afraid of government reach, collapse of their own economic system, etc. than they are of the Iranian boogeyman.

 

[Publicani]

Its not his job to manage what other people do. Ron is responsible for what he does.

He's applying for a job managing 100s of thousands if not millions employees. He will be responsible for all federal workers and the army.
It's a serious question. He should be prepared to answer it.

 

[P. R. Robinson]

This is the message I would like to hear Ron Paul deliver:

"All my life I have been a defender of the Constitution of the United States. This is the document, more than any other, which guarantees individual liberty and freedom from government suppression. Lately I have been very alarmed to see the Constitution being attacked on all sides. Within the last few years we have seen Executive Orders subvert the rights of the legislative branch of government. We have seen numerous wars being fought without the consent of Congress as required by the Constitution. We have seen such things as the Patriot Act take away our rights to privacy and and the National Defense Authorization Act subject us to indefinite detention by jack-booted thugs without the right to an attorney and due process guaranteed under the Constitution to all citizens of this country. Finally, just last week we witnessed the President circumvent the Constitutional requirement of Senate approval for his appointees by making appointments during a "phony" recess."

"Our Constitution if the very bulwark of individual freedom and liberty in this Country. Tonight we are in New Hampshire where the motto of its citizens is "Live Free or Die." It is my message to the people of New Hampshire that the Freedom in this country is in danger of being stolen and something must be done before it is too late. On Tuesday the rest of the Country is looking to you to take a stand to stop this attack on our Constitution and the erosion of our national freedoms. I know I can count on you!"

 

[Publicani]

Specifically I hope he goes after him on NDAA.

He will be asked about Osama. It's good to bring up NDAA in this context, showing that none of the other candidates stood up against Obama when he's been building dictatorship structures.

I agree with your intentions but it does sound like bs.

 

[Publicani]

He will be asked about boycott of Iran. He should explain that it's a symbolic gesture. Iran's rulers are not going to resign because of boycott, so what's the point?

Those in his employment will be dealt with accordingly, it's not like Ron Paul can or should keep people who don't work for him from posting what they want on the internet.

what are the other candidates record on this? did they vote for it?

 

[RonPaul101.com]

I like Ron Paul to say, "Does anyone know how Obama won in 2008? He got a lot of crossover voters and independent voters, that's how. And I am the strongest GOP candidate in those areas hands down."

Let people known their real choice is Paul or Obama. Romney gets a lot of "oh well" votes of complacency because people assume he'll beat Obama and no one else will. Beating Obama is number one on many casual voters minds these days. Use it.


Also, if smeared about cutting aid to Israel, I say hit it head on with, "That's right, I am an American, you all are Americans, and if cutting aid to Pakistan upsets one group and cutting aid to another foreign nation upsets another group, then so be it. I will be the President who not only puts America first, but America Only!"

 

[Tal]

Go after Romney somehow, maybe try and bring up the fact that his biggest donors are the big banks? Maybe bring up Romney's flip flops also?

Try and somehow slip it in there that Romney is basically a copy of Obama.

Gonna be hard though I guess since these ''debates'' are not really debates but highly regulated press conferences.

 

[Butchie]

Unfortunely, most of America is not your family. These smear campaigns are extremely effective and it's sad. If people actually focused on the issues, Ron Paul would win in a landslide but look at mainstream media. It's infotainment. The people don't actually care about the country even if they worry about the jobs and the economy. Hell, they vote more in American idol than they do in presidential elections. What does that tell you?

It's just a sad state of affairs. Sure, most of us blame the government for all our problems but who elected them? Who didn't even bother preventing their election? This is as much the people's fault as it is the government's which is the problem with our republic.

If everyone voted third party, most of these things wouldn't even happen...

Good point, I agree with you, but still, don't like watching Ron try and get nasty, it just doesn't fit him.
