Where is Ron Paul?

[walt]

earth calling - schedule still not posted - what a joke

 

[rexsolomon]

He can't. There is no time to catch one's breath until Feb 6th now, and Paul should have been prepared - should have been vitamin loading and working out more to increase his stamina.

He needs to be doing brief stops, he could even sit down if he wanted, but he needs to be constantly in front of crowds, because people will stop to listen.

If he campaigns, people will show up.

When you reach 72 years of age, you will remember your words today and regret it.

He'll be there.

I won't regret my words: I'll live by them. He needs to be at big events today. tonight. tomorrow. Sunday he better be near some Churches. Monday he better have a labor event.

If he doesn't do these things, he loses, regardless of how many doors I'm knocking on today in the rain.

 

[mczerone]

if he's tired, he sure could send someone to campaing, like Rand or whomever.

He already should be, but there does need to be a sense of 'official messengers' that can do events and fund raising. They should pay Goldwater to do some. They should find a recently discharged veteran to help them out - and give them a salary from the fund raising we've done. It wouldn't be a bad thing to have someone other than a white male to be spreading the message either - especially to diffuse the recent smearing.


These are just a few of the people that should be on staff to give speeches on behalf of what Ron Paul is running for. Then, even at events where Ron is expected to talk, he doesn't have to spend 30 min on economics and 20 min on the specifics of the constitution - his opener can do that. He need to go out and win crowds with some of his unique personality. He needs to convince people that he is the guy, that when put in front of the congress, or in a room of deliberators, can sit, listen, understand, and work toward solutions in a friendly, thoughtful, reasonable manner.

Ron Paul can do this stuff, but he's not doing it.

Yes he needs more active well known national, state or local supporters to campaign places for him. Maybe Lew Rockwell could go to a few states in Ron Pauls behalf.

i don't understand any of this...i've read that Julie Annie had more visits to both IA and NH. Is the strategy seriously to concede all of these early primaries? Bet everything on SuperTuesday?

McCain is 71 and Ron Paul 72 and I dare say Ron Paul is in MUCH better health than McCain.

This lack of scheduling makes me think Ron Paul is not in it to win and that is wrong considering the sacrifices we are making to help him win.

 

[noiseordinance]

I agree. This lack of promoting in Michigan isn't just hurting Michigan, it's hurting the level of motivation around the entire USA.

 

[Eponym_mi]

Is the campaign using an Atlas Shrugged strategy with Ron Paul playing John Galt? Like maybe he isn't going to show up in any meaningful way until we're halfway through the primaries? The silence is deafening.

I need people in Rogers, AR!!! I have the materials, a great game plan, and a few VERY motivated people but we need more bodies. Anyone know people in North West Arkansas send them my way.
We have the University of Arkansas(WOOOO PIG SOOOIE!!!!) in Fayetteville, Northwest Ar community College, Springdale, Wal-mart World Headquaters offices in Bentonville, and the New World Trade center about 6 miles from my home in Rogers. All in about a 40 mile radius. Our Primaries are Feb. 5th. There are SOOOO many votes we could win! BUT I NEED PEOPLE! We are canvassing, we are at meet-ups, and tons of plans and ideas but we want to do more. We could be a hot spot! Please help us......

Seriously, when is the campaign going to begin?

I seriously despise the fact, that the campaign has setup useless offices in Michigan, without any real use for them.

The ladies running the Detroit office aren't doing anything in those offices, other than turning the lights on and off at the beginning and end of each day.

There are no phones in the offices. We could have been able to use phones to phone bank.

The individuals running the offices, are incapable of running a fast food drive thru window, let alone a state campaign for presidency.

this is ridiculous...

I have constantly been putting the word out via all different events for Ron Paul and I have to abosolutely agree with these comments. I still have seen no events as to where he will be? Here is a comment by the campaign people at MI HQ

Hello Ron Paul Supporters!

With the primary less than 7 days away I am sure you are all very anxious to hear when Ron Paul will be in the great state of Michigan. We have been very busy working on his schedule and when his dates and events are confirmed we will post them immediately so that you may make plans to attend. Incorrect posts have been made as to his whereabouts this weekend so I ask that you do not post anything regarding Dr. Paul?s upcoming schedule until it is confirmed through the campaign.



Thank you again and see you at the rally!

I have seen nothing and today Is the 11th. Can we say Procrastination or leading us on.

He barely ever has any events planned!!

Its no wonder he is getting beat. I think that he really needs to push things harder, there isn't a lot of time and most voters really want face time with the candidates. I mean Ron is starting to look like Fred in terms of rest required.

I thought Dr. Paul was a exercise-a-holic!
