Submitted by Devils.Advocate on Tue, 12/25/2007 - 22:22
I am STUNNED.... my sister was hard core Hillary and my Brother in Law hard core Joe Biden and BOTH converted to Ron Paul after the Meet the Press interview...
I have banged on them for months and sent videos etc... and my sister told me she just deletes them and stop sending them etc...
Then I find out they Converted Sunday after watching Meet The Press.... I am stunned - WHAT A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS PRESENT....
and my sister has a VERY BIG MOUTH so I am sure all her friends are going to hear about this (she also admitted she has one friend who has been banging on her for months about RP)
Merry Christmas Indeed!

what's worked for me
Over the past few months, I've sent out emails and links to many friends and family, but few, if any, converted. When, however, I take the time to sit together with them in front of a computer and walk them through some youtube videos, many of them convert easily. I think most people are just apathetic and get interested only when someone presents them with real face-to-face time that highlights the issues and explains the contrasting positions of the various candidates.
Still trying to educate my family
That's great!
Still trying to educate MY family with 8 days left till Iowa caucus.
As in your case, It seems the more they also hear from other people (their peers), the more inclined they are to open their minds. Not looking good for me so far, but still trying to lead to water.

My Dad!
I think I've mostly converted my dad! He's a lifelong Republican and retired Air Force--and he's very opposed to the war! I talked to him for a while earlier on the phone and told him I'll send a DVD about Ron (I've written 400 letters to Iowans for him so far, so we are on a first name basis now LOL).
As he lives in Nevada, his vote in caucus will go a long way since it's an early state. We'll need to work on my mom (lifelong Republican that says she'll vote for Hillary because of her plumbing *sheesh*). My angle with her will be that she can't vote in the Democratic caucus because she's a registered Republican, so she might as well vote for her favorite Republican just in case Hillary loses the general election (oh, horror!)
Awesome!
Awesome! I think what makes Ron Paul come across well is when he is asked a question he jumps right in and knows the answer there is no hesitation. He doesn't have to worry about what lie he told previously and if he'll get it right this time. That confidence and honesty comes through.
Occasionally he fumbles for a word but its not because he is doesn't know the answer it's because he can't speak all the information as fast as he's thinking it however he always manages to get the thought out and this shows his smarts and really isn't a negative.
The only bad things I hear about him are from neocon haters and pundits who would call him names even if he cured cancer.

I've gotten a few
A friend of my wife, Crystal, dropped off a load of firewood the other day and we talked about Ron Paul (she hadn't heard of him). She seemed pretty excited about him when she left. Well, yesterday another friend of my wife called asking who the h#ll is Ron Paul. Crystal had told her all about Ron Paul and told her to call us because we could explain his positions better than she could. So, Freedom does spread like wildfire once you spark the match.
Today, all the family we had over to the house was already Ron Paul converted months ago... but did convince 2 of them how important voting in the primary is. The others know. We all talked to them about it and let them know if they needed a ride or something we would gladly bring them with us to vote. It was a Ron Paul Christmas here at my house - I think everyone got and gave Ron Paul shirts, hats, sweatshirts. Great Time.

Will they vote in the primary?

I was at my friends house on
I was at my friends house on Christmas eve... a houseful of democrats. One said he saw the MTP interview and was really impressed with Dr. Paul... esp the civil war discussion. Another said "I'd be okay with him" and my girlfriends sister said she'd vote for him for me. I'll take it!
YeeeeeeeeeeeeeHAWWWWWWWWWWWWW
YeeeeeeeeeeeeeHAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!
That's awesome!
It's always good to hear these kind of stories. I think the majority of people who have open minds just need to hear him speak.
The show backfired on Russert and I'm sure his handlers were gritting their teeth. Russert looked like a fool questioning Ron Paul in that manner. Doesn't he realize he was questioning our future president? It was disrespectful to say the least. Once again the Teflon Ron wins a battle against another establishment media shill.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everybody!
2008 is Ron Paul's year!

We'll vote for Ron Paul from Costa Rica...
For 23 years I have assisted folks in escaping to Costa Rica...now I'm working to educate these ex-pats about Ron Paul and his promise to all Americans of a return to constitutional law & personal freedom.
Several months ago many hadn't yet heard of him...some had but were not fully aware of his "constitution first" platform. We'll I took care of that in a hurry by making him the focal point of our conversations
BUT...
Now things have changed and most of the folks who contact me in search of relocation information or in search of property do know about the kind Dr. and need little encouragement before divulging their admiration and respect for his message.
There are nearly 20,000 North Americans retired here and it would be nice to capture this important offshore vote if possible.
Maybe the campains first overseas event...something like,

Must be a "sister" thing
Mine is a Huck supporter and has set up a filter to bounce any email that has Ron Paul in it (of course my signature is full of Ron Paul info). Haven't heard from her in weeks.
On a side note, I had to laugh at your brother-in-law being a hard core Biden supporter. He must have been lonely.
Good luck to us all,

I know some people
I know some people complained about MTP interview, but I thought it was great and i have seen it 10 times now. I laugh every time he laughs at Tim and brushes him away telling him he is confused..LOL
still working on my sister
my little sister was Hillary, and my badgering only moved her to Kucinich.. its a start..
my dad was for Rudy then I got him to go Paul.
my older sister and my mom were clean slates and now they are for Paul.
I don't think I talked
I don't think I talked anyone in my immediate family into going to the polls for the Primaries, but I got a "I'd definitely vote for Ron Paul" from my sister recently, and my dad (although he's more in favor of the Fed than I am -- a product of having worked on Wall Street for 30+ years) is vocally in favor of Dr. Paul as "the best of the lot" of Republicans.

"MY SISTER HAS A BIG MOUTH"....Must run in the family !!
Good 2 hear...
I heard something at the in-laws, that shocked me. We were opening presents, and my 33 year old brother-in-law,(after I said, vote for Ron Paul...out of the blue..forgot what he said prior to this..sorry)....
and he said' yeah,Ron Paul's a good guy( and I think he said he would be a good president.... we had tons of people talking at the same time, in one small room, and he was 15 ft away).
I said something akin to " Yeah, I checked out all the people running, and he is the most honest".
Then we dropped the talk , because it was upsetting his parents/my-inlaws...die hard Democrats!
That was a shock, because , A) my bil is in a Union, and B) He always voted Democrat in the past.
I think he's got the message, so I won't push him.
I expect him to vote RP in March(and he doesn't have to switch parties, iirc, because we have an Open Primary).
Something's going on when this guy mention Ron Paul is ok(right after I said"vote for Ron Paul"...he was mentioning high prices of medical, and taxes...iirc).
What issues did they like about the interview?
If you could let us know.
MEET THE PRESS showed that Dr. Paul is NOT a neo-con REPUBLICAN
I think the BEST thing that Meet the Press did was show that Ron Paul should not be labeled a Republican, at least not in the modern day sense.
It showed that his politics are NOT in alignment with the Republican Party or the neo-cons and this is the biggest MONKEY ON HIS BACK... there is... He will never win until he sheds himself of this modern day Republican stigmata...
The meaning of words and who defines them.
Ron Paul is constantly telling us that the Republician Party has lost its way.
Um....I think you meant to say....
stigma
definition of stigmata = marks resembling crucifixion wounds
:-)
There's a Huckster joke in there somewhere...
...#%@$ Christams wine...!
What he said!

My die-hard neocon neighbor...
said he did great on MTP! He loved how RP handled Russert and said he agrees with most of what he says (except for leaving the Mideast). I was waiting for him to start blasting RP for the civil war comment, etc., but said he was spot on on most of it. I don't think we have his vote yet, but his attitude toward Ron Paul is like night and day compared to a month or so ago.
Let your neighbor know
Let your neighbor know that the Iraq war lost the House and Senate for Republicans and it will lose the Presidency too. Wouldn't he rather have someone like Ron Paul who actually likes the military, move out of Iraq or someone like Hillary who despises the military play with them for the next 4 years.
Yeah but..
Huckleberry said it's better that the Republicans lose the Presidency and keep their honor LOL
X 10,000
or maybe X 100,000 OK, I think I get this exponential thing now. Thanks, Beck, Russert, Kristol, etc. HAAAAAA!

It helped convert my Dad
I showed him all the other videos on You Tube the night before to my Dad, and they pretty much converted him to a Ron Paul supporter. But then he watched the MTP interview and I think it helped confirm it for him.
Yes he's a life long Republican, just as I am. Although that will change if Ron Paul is not elected.
Part I Loved
is where Dr. Paul tells Russert "you're confused", that was classic.
