What will Ron say on Jay Leno?

[Jamesiv1]

I would like to see him retire, for his own sake and that of his kids and grand-kids. He's 76 years old, for crying out loud. Don't you think he deserves it?

I imagine the conversation went something like this:

LIBERTY-MINDED COLLECTIVE: "Dr. Paul, you've got to run in 2012... you've got to DO IT FOR THE CAUSE OF LIBERTY!!"

DR. PAUL: "Hmm... you guys know and I know that I don't have a snowball's chance. And even if I made it to the White House I couldn't get squat accomplished. Tell you what... I'll do it one more time, but we do it my way. That is, I'm going to spend 90% of the time on college campuses spreading the message of liberty to the ones that will listen and the ones that count - the youth. Deal?"

LIBERTY-MINDED COLLECTIVE: "Deal."

Ron Paul did his part and more. The rest is up to us.

Johnson/Paul ticket, they win, Johnson resigns, and Paul is POTUS. Booya-ka-sha!!

To be second to GJ on a ticket is pure insult for Ron.

Probably just typical Ron. He will briefly discuss that the GOP didn't treat him very nice, will say how they need his young and independent support, wont make a decision on who to support, and will laugh at all of Jays cheesy jokes.

and if Charlie strips Maine of its duly elected committeeman, committeewoman and officers TOMORROW, he might discuss that, as well.

 

[Revolution9]

I sure hope it is a BIG announcement, we are all hoping he will run with Gary Johnson if that's do-able. At least a big Johnson endorsement.

Johnson is a tax and spender. Why would he endorse him when he won't endorse others due to same?

If Ron Paul just wants to retire that is what he should do, but I disagree that he would ever say that. One of the reasons I am a loyal supporter is because I believe he could REALLY COULD cut 1 trillion dollars in the first year of the presidency. He already outlined the plan. Basically undo 1 trillion dollars worth of unnecessary executive orders asap. He wouldn't need congressional cooperation for that from my understanding (which could be flawed).

There will probably be some discussion of Clint Eastwood's impromptu. Now that would be something: if Eeastwood showed up as a surprise guest and he and Ron sat there and talked about their areas of agreement.
This is an interesting site. It's a translation TO English (like, governor is translated "Controller".

http://clinteastwood-tribute.com/biography

Eastwood joined the military in 1950 (Korea) but his transport plane went down off California and he ended up never going there. So that happened when Ron Paul was either a sophomore or freshman in high school.

Plus, Clint Eastwood spent several years making Flags of our Fathers and Letters from Iwo Jima, which involved extensive research and excruciating attention to detail. The films not only portrayed the horrors of war, but the effect of the US war propaganda on the nation (ie: buying war bonds is the American thing to do).

Oh boy. This whole thread (not just this post) is how rumors get started, unrealistic expectations don't get met, and hard working people get an undeserving blasting.

The only ground breaking announcement I can picture Ron making is that he gave up chocolate chip cookies.

I don't think he'd give up chocolate chip cookies.

Honestly, I hope he doesn't endorse. I hope it is an announcement, but I had just assumed it was an interview about RNC.

 

[Revolution9]

I'm sure he'd applaud it if he knew it, but this is Ron, the guy who, after Tom Cruise came back stage at a show to thank him for his work, turned to his aide and asked "Who was that?"

Pop culture is not something he's up on.

I love it. I could give frak about pop culture and who the hell cares that yer famous. Ron probably thought better of him for the kind words than that he was a meat puppet with a good measure of fame.

[Revolution9]

So Ron missed "Top Gun" and "Risky Business?"

Me too. Didn't really care. One was a macho war agitprop flick and the other had some clown playing air guitar..an obvious poser..in his underwear sliding across a floor 'cause mommy and daddy were away. Why people watch this drivel or how it accelerates a person to "stardumb" is beyond me.

Omg I love that story!

I would think that Gary Johnson would be INVOLVED in any Libertarian Party announcement.

Why? He is only there to play out a gambit.

[Dogsoldier]

If he doesn't run libertarian I can just about guarantee he WILL vote for Gary Johnson and so will I.

Gary Johnson is probably 90% Ron Paul.Obama and Romney is like 15%.

Do the math.He WILL vote Gary Johnson.

 

[Revolution9]

Mark Levin? He is nobody. Who cares what he says?

Seriously. Yet when he gets a shout out for his inane agitprop nobody rears their ugly head here like when something true from AJ is posted. Get a grip kiddies.

You must be young. GJ is no RP and doesn't come close. He is another tax and spender. His record speaks for itself.

Pretty sure he will announce that he is going to be very active with C4L

I know how you feel - I gave money, too. And then went thru a couple months of depression when the GOP dirty tricks machine went full throttle and I shook my head in disbelief at the depth of the corruption. The current state of the union didn't happen overnight... or in 3 or 4 election cycles - heck, it's been going on since about 1791. I don't think we'll see real change until 1) the STHF, and/or 2) the people wake up and demand it

"You must be young. GJ is no RP and doesn't come close. He is another tax and spender. His record speaks for itself."

It doesnt take an older person to figure out Ron Paul will vote for the guy that most supports what he believes in.

That is Gary Johnson in this race.You don't honestly think he will vote for Romney or obama do you?

You will too.Thats why we vote.

I'm far from young.

 

[fr33]

I doubt there will be any type of announcement.

 

[Matt Collins]

He's going to announce that Teh Collinz drinks Fiji Water:

(that's actually Ron's bottle of Fiji, I just borrowed it for the photo op )

[pacelli]

I think he'll say, "federal reserve" and "raw milk" and "limited government".
