End the War & End the Fed
Those are the items Dr. Paul Should keep hammering on. The Fed is the deepest root of all our evils, and Dr. Paul's foreign policy is his strength that is being labeled his weakness. Rev it up, Ron Paul; rev it up and stick it to 'em! Once people realize how righteous you are;how truthful your message is; how you present it to them with full conviction from your heart, they will be as certain as we are that it is the right thing to do.
my vid
my video stopped before dr paul made all that clear. just finished listening. Ha ha. Oh well, thats the strategy:))
I wish he could
go to one of these rallies with a ppt showing the reason why it is important for us to back our currency. I think a lot of people would leave going, OMG. And it would really hit home the imporatnce. It is not enough to have the news jsut saying he supports the gold standard. People are dumb, they need reality and tangibility.
that's what I keep thinking:
instead of his usual stump speech, he may as well do a 30min Power Point primer on rudimentary econ. people will definitely listen to him.
Other than those who have actually bothered to read or look up what the "Business Cycle" is, when he mentions it, they have no clue what he's talking about!
I sometimes wished that he'd conduct his rallies like a marketing SEMINAR! Hell, the intended goal is to have his audience 'buy' his 'product/brand' anyway.
If he simply explained, rather ASKED the audience to take out any single Fed.Res.Note in their wallet, and asked them to raise their hands IF they knew exactly how a single dollar is created by the Federal Reserve, how it's always a 90% 'money,' how there's a WORLD of difference between what money is vs. currency, how 'money' 'does grow on trees (Fed.Res.computer clicks)' so there's NO WAY in hell the current foreign policy can be sustained, linking it back to his economic argument, all the dots will begin to connect in the audience's minds.
though frankly, I'd like to see him simply ask the audience, "Who here thinks Tel Aviv is located in Iowa? In Florida? In California?" Then, "does anyone care what happens to Berlin? Or Seoul, S. Korea with the same concern?" And keep repeating "Israel has over 500 nukes. I repeat, Israel has over 500 nukes. I repeat, Israel has over 500 nukes!" Until it sinks into their heads that Israel can take care of herself.
Though, if any RINO truly had any intelligence, Israel's proximity alone to Iran should've convinced them long ago, that IF Israel's stupid enough to false flags themselves into bombing Iran, it'd be a suicide for Israel, as Iran's conventional munitions alone will rain down on them and wipe her out. By then, Israel will retaliate with their nukes, wiping off Iran, but before that, whether they intercept those warheads or not, China and Russia will launch theirs as soon as they sense Israel's launching. Then the entire EU would be under a cloud of nuclear particulates, and frankly the Israelis will NEVER be forgiven by ANY nations, for millions of yrs to come.
He should tell them, that IF they want a global mass anti-Semitic hysteria, that will NOT go away, then they should push for Israel attacking Iran, which would also broil us into the mess, also raising more anti-American sentiments across the Globe.
If those moronic RINO dolts want that scenario to play out, Dr. Paul should highly recommend that they vote for the other three murderous lunatics.
Besides, like a child who stole his daddy's credit cards to buy clothes and cars to impress a girl he'll never have, Dr. Paul should make the analogy: it's time to take the creditcards away from the children, and CHIDE them, like the idiotic naive kids they are, with a stern look that only a wise experienced grandpa can give.
BE 'that' grandpa, Dr. Paul!

"Let it not be said that no one cared, that no one objected once it's realized that our liberties and wealth are in jeopardy." - Dr. Ronald Ernest Paul
Have you considered speech writing?
Surely he has staff that helps with his his message. I know he shoots from the hip a lot but some sound bites could help him. You would want to eliminate any name calling, condescension or fear mongering. The idea of the ppt is fantastic. Something nonconventional like that if he could pull it off. Israel has 500 nukes- this. And the bit about the grandfather advice.
why, that's mighty kind of you,
thank you.
but at least for the Doc, if the brilliant Gary North was Dr. Paul's official 1st and last speech writer of his entire political career, of whose Gary's 1st & last draft he NEVER even used (possibly, Dr. Paul may hold the distinction as the only 'politician' in modern American history to have never used a speech writer!), and Doug Wead, who is one of the most successful campaign debate coaches around don't feel the need to help, or if offered, wouldn't bolster Dr. Paul's natural speaking style, I'd say I defer it to their much more extensive and informed experiences.o)
personally though, I actually have an autonomic physical primal response when people accuse the Doc of "not having charisma." Sure, biased maybe, but to me his "lack of charisma," IS his charisma, dang it!
He's the only known public figure in modern recorded history that challenges one's worldview so much so that many are simply 'converted' by the sheer virtue of their initial attempt to research the topics raised by Dr. Paul in a typical stump speech, all with the initial intention of debunking him! And as Lew Rockwell has been pointing out of late, which political figure in American history has ever truly prompted someone to read, so they can find out what he was talking about, instead of the typical pandering??
Truly, I cannot think of a more effective educator! As Doug Wead recently characterized Dr. Paul, "He is not a great communicator. But, what he is, is a Great PROVOCATEUR!" He challenges you, and gets you to think!
In fact, to me, he does nothing short of prompting and undeniably compel people to do a gutcheck and look at themselves & their worldview in the mirror!
how much more of a powerful "communicator" and a truly a man of "charisma" can one be to hook your brains, first, then your heart, later on for the long haul?
cheesy, & maybe verging on slightly creepy, but 'experiencing Dr. Paul' sometimes reminds me of some old couples who often testify that when they initially married, neither one were "in love" with each other; only over time did Love truly grow into something everlasting.
In the same sense, I suppose it is different for everyone depending on their personalities and what they value, but if you can appeal to my intellectual side, my respect for you grows into trust. And if your history demonstrates trust, it grow into love and loyalty.
To MSM lurkers, read on. Yeah, yeah, of course, to you it can SEEM like a "cult of personality," except cults require that one "follow the leader" blindly, merely by virtue of a single person's charisma. But in Dr. Paul's case, it is because of his record, his message, later translated into trust (as anyone who is not within Dr.Paul's immediate circle can judge him from a far using one's acquired people reading skills and discernment can lead one to tell).
Hell, to me, Dr. Paul re-wrote the book on what my idea of what "charisma" means. He shines like 24k Gold, y'all!

"Let it not be said that no one cared, that no one objected once it's realized that our liberties and wealth are in jeopardy." - Dr. Ronald Ernest Paul
I have an idea to get the
I have an idea to get the older generation to support Paul, sort of. If they are too stubborn to vote for Paul, just convince them how bad Romney is. Tell them about all the anti-conservative bills he was for. Since only Paul or Mitt can win, if we are lucky they'll vote for Paul or just give up and stay home.
Social Security
Most of the retired people only care about their Social Security. What I tell them is that they have a choice to vote for a President that will continue the wars and eventually destroy the Social Security fund OR vote for Ron Paul who stated that he would bring the troops home and use the money to shore up Social Security and put back the money that the govrnment has stolen for decaded. Most of the really old people don't care about wars, only making sure that they keep getting their SS checks and most would not survive without them. Ron Paul said that SS is a contract between the government and the people who have paid into it. He says to keep it solvent and allow the younger people to opt out and use that money on their own. What amazes me is that most people don't realize what the spending and debt means. If we don't end the wars and balance the budget soon then the country will go bankrupt and all the entitlement people will be literally cut off at the knees. They all need to understand this before they vote. Ron Paul is the ONLY candidate that has a plan and the only candidate that cares about the American people.
Ron Paul's Cross of Gold
I am a college student in Maine, and I am excited to hear about mustering support in the state's caucus. In 1896, WIlliam Jennings Bryan made a speech at the Democratic National Convention denouncing the gold standard. This would come to be known as the Cross of Gold Speech. Of course back then, it was to transfer to a system of of bimetallism, or "free silver", (Adding silver as legal tender was the proposed solution to inflation after the Civil War) but this, though, is not the point I am trying to make. The reason I highlight this certain historical event is because of one passionate, emotive, well-written speech, Democratic Candidate WIlliam Jennings Bryan that captivated the entire party.
Ian Mc Namara
The current mind-set at the
The current mind-set at the time was that gold was the way. In fact, prior to him speaking, no one had even defended the transfer to silver. At the conclusion of his speech, the convention rushed the staged, hoisted Bryan up, and declared him the Democratic candidate. Bryan was the Dark horse of that race, and who does that name be applied to in the 2012 election. The power of ONE speech is unappreciated, and although Congressman Paul is passionate in what he is saying, and of course his message is crucially important, does the typical apathetic voter get lost and confused in the jargon? There is consistent shock bouncing around this forum in complete awe and disgust at why everyone is not voting for Ron Paul. Although Justly so, can we blame people for being ignorant or having a lack of knowledge?
Ian Mc Namara
The difference between
The difference between supporters of Ron Paul and the other Republican candidates is of their reasons for voting. When the typical voter is asked why they like Santorum, Romney, or Gingrich, they say "I don't know, I just like him", "I trust him", "I feel like he's strong". No answer really has any substance. If you ask a Ron Paul supporter, they will most definitely not say it’s because of his looks. All of the Paul supporters would talk about his policies and his rational and logical solutions to the problems our country faces today. I'm not here to discuss why Paul's policies are superior, I am here to bring up the notion that maybe concepts don't always claim elections. Come on, it’s common knowledge that Warren Harding was elected in 1920 just because he was a "Handsome Man". It took the death of Harding for soft spoken and unelectable Calvin Cooliage to take office (who Ron Paul is often compared to, and sometimes defends himself) Now it must be known, I am not in favor of Ron Paul now just selling out and pandering to the people, but there is a line. In fact, Paul’s honesty, integrity, and consistency come into play in a ONE on ONE election, specifically the general election.
Ian Mc Namara
Why do you think this man has
Why do you think this man has been such a long serving congressman from Texas as a Libertarian leaning Republican? On the same note, there is something about the man’s humility and humble nature on stage that sets him apart from other candidates. He chuckles, and it feels like hes having a conversation with the audience. A time has come where I want to see the fire from 1988 shown in a Morton Downey jr interview (link at bottom) in Paul’s speaking. He was arguing against an entire room of irrational spectators and yet he remained strong. He showed his strength that was present in the 2008 debates as well as the current debates. Now, I’m not arguing that Ron Paul should have his own Howard Dean moment with “I have a Scream Speech”, but I do want to see his passion that obviously is in his core. He should make a statement to make a speech. People want to see a leader who not only has sound concepts, but who appears presidential. (As crazy as it sounds, society is generally superficial) Going with that, people say they vote for Romney just because he “looks like a president”. I want to see Ron Paul make use of this limelight he now has, and display his presidential qualities.
Ron Paul is the Dark Horse of this race, just as William Jennings Bryan was. Although it is ironic that Jennings Bryan was speaking to deface the gold standard, the message of delivery should not be lost. (McKInley ended up winning election and putting the United States on the Gold standard in 1900 AS A REPUBLICAN) Again, although the above speech is an incredible one to the Ron Paul supporter, how is it to the typical voter? I wanted to know people’s thoughts, and I only propose this notion to maybe clear up confusion in lack of turn out for Dr. Paul. I don’t know about anyone else, but I wait patiently for ONE passionate, fiery, perfectly paced and presented speech that will win over the hearts and minds of the masses, ONE speech that will persuade and not pander. One speech: Ron Paul’s Cross of Gold.

Roll with the punches it's a new day
To all the hard core liberty folks, the three last states was a bit discouraging but today I feel inspired to get more people to vote. I believe, getting more young people actually voting can bring Dr. Paul up in numbers.
I will work the colleges near my home for the next weeks, we gotta win some states.

Powerful
A Very, Very Powerful speech! He covered every aspect of what needs to be done to take our country back. If individuals see this speech and are NOT moved by it then they will NEVER be moved by any belief other than corruption or greed. This speech reminded me of my favorite quote in Atlas Shrugged. If you want this country back "GET OUR OF OUR WAY!"
I just watched it AGAIN...
...and then I dug up this gem from an authentic envelope mailed during the Civil War...my buddy in Michigan collects stuff like this...
A modern battle-cry for us, his supporters!!!
http://postimage.org/image/w0d3k12rn/
I am sure we can't grasp the contextual emotion of that time; but the sentiments cannot be DENIED - we are truly fed up with our politicians who don't give a rip about our Republic, our Constitution, our TROOPS, our debt, our children, or our future!!!
The deliberate Marxist tanking of this economy through political cronyism and moral compromise, in pursuit of the love of money carrot-and-stick approach(Federal Reserve bubble)cost me and my family a successful budding career that I loved! Ron Paul 2012
WOW!!!
FANTASTIC speech. Probably one of the best I've heard him do!!!! Perfect mix of "determined resolve" in his voice, clear and articulate explanations and lots of enthusiasm!!
He most definitely came across as presidential for sure!
And I'm so glad the whole thing was aired live on CNN!
(btw, what is UP with that? CNN sure has been giving him "breaks"......)
Sharp as a whip.
Great speech. I feel as though I just drank from The Fountain of Youth. Completely re-energized and invigorated. Thanks for the medicine Doc.
