A Public Speaking Course would Do Ron good..

And when I go back thru the interview I sometimes see the wisdom !

But for all of us when we may see these arguments on the streets.

1. Ron Paul would have advised not to go to War in the Civil War. He wasn't there!

2. When they asked him if he'd run for the presidentcy as a third party candidate, he was being kind. I know he wanted to say "Ask a real question Tim! I know your better than that!!" What the media is trying to perpetuate is an idea for those on the fence that Ron Paul will have another chance down the road...and these primaries are not that important!

He did a fabulous job on everything. Although he got himself a little flustered and was alittle too eager to answer the Civil War question. There's really nothing we can do about the past would have been a better answer...and all we can do is learn from our mistakes! Especially when people's lives are at stake.

Not someone who took a course in politics like the rest of them.

To become more charismatic and articficial? Like top excutives and market specilists? Those are for sheepeople.

Dr Paul did fine! you'll see next week after the Christmas Holidays when the number of supporters continue to climb. Ron Paul actually answers Quetions!!! What other candidate even does that?? Not to worry the Ron Paul Revolution is VIRAL!!!! I'ts growing like Crazy!!!

FRIKKIN' KIDDING !!!!

This guy has been a Congressman for 10 terms. He speaks on the floor of the House of Representatives. He talks in front of people all the time. He campaigns, takes care of his congressional duties, makes speeches, writes books, does interviews and... he's 72 YEARS OLD !

But what's MOST important is WHAT he says. He speaks from his heart... no notes, no script, just truth. Have you heard him at a rally, if not, crack yourself a cold one, goto Ronpaulaudio.com and sit back and listen to the speech he gave at the Texas Straw Poll on Aug. 30. It's PURE GOLD !!

You'll want to give your neighbors copies for Christmas. I Have.

Oh Yeah, I almost forgot...
TURN IT UP !!

hee's 72 yeers oldd and nott likelly gooing too channge hiss wayys ! I toookk speeech inn colludge and I speeks reeel gooodd twoo !

Nit picking? We are supporting Dr. Paul for who he is, what he stands for, and not his speaking abilities. That is one of the things that is appealing about him. He is truth. He speaks from a complete belief in his beliefs, not a polished, neo-con, that speaks out the side of his ---ear.

No thank you...I love the candid and pure Ron Paul. Everyone can relate to him because he is so real and so refreshing. I wouldn't change one teeny weeny little thing about him and to try to do so would make him just like the other bobble-heads running for president. I just want to give him a huge hug :)

I think he does just fine.

I like his concise candor -- in fact it's one of the things that originally drew me to his campaign. He doesn't "sound" like the other politicians, and that's a huge plus in the minds of many.

You have to be joking... Obama is touted as one of the best speakers there are and have you ever listened to him? I actually can't watch his interviews because he says umm and uhh too much. It actually makes my head hurt... I havnt even noticed it with Ron.

posted in wrong spot

Some like karl rove It is his nature to sound like that he can't help it you can hear it in his son rands voice He gets good when he's mad

As several here have pointed out, there is an authenticity in Paul's delivery that's attractive and differentiates him from overpolished and overpracticed candidates on both sides.

That said, if I had two words of advice for the campaign:

1. Outside of forums where he has supporters, Paul should respond as if he's speaking to someone hearing his platform for the first time. In other words, "I'm in favor of eliminating the IRS, which accounts for 50% of government income, and would pay for this by eliminating foreign aid, bringing all of our troops home worldwide, and making other adjustments in domestic spending."

2. Paul is intellectually genuine, and actually responds to the specific question asked by reporters. The other candidates actively work their agendas, often ignoring or deflecting questions. While Paul's approach is useful to do on occasion, it would be better to briefly answer miscellany (like the Civil War), and focus the listener on forward-looking, synopsis statements: "Why are we talking about why the Civil War was fought, when we still have 250,000 American servicemen in harms way today? If I'm President, my first act will be to return these troops home to their families and then on to defend our own borders."

I've been a Paul supporter since his run in 1988, and those of us familiar with his positions enjoy his thoughtful answers. Those across the country who are just starting to digest his positions often don't have the attention span needed to sort through Paul's typical delivery. Rather than ask millions to change their ways, it is easier to ask Paul to adapt his message.

as demonstrated almost every time.

People want genuine instead of manufactured, hyped, polished and muscled through a compliant media.

He is the only candidate who has crushed all expectations. He did it without big money backing.

We have a bunch of war party puppets, then we have Paul and Kucinich.

I thought Ron rocked! Ron Paul has been elected and reelected more than 10 times speaking just he way he does. His message is unmistakable and nobody else even comes close to being the champion for liberty that he is. If people don't get it then we're doomed. If some are sitting on the fence at this point saying to themselves, "Gee maybe I'll vote for Huck or Hillary or Ron Paul. I'm just not sure which one to choose yet." then a more polished presentation is not going to make a difference.
