I`ll take a bumbling old man who knows WTF hes talking about over a bumbling less old idiot who makes up new "words", like we have in the whitehouse right now.
A more extended version of this speech is on the C-SPAN Convention page and it is BRILLIANT!! They have labled it his NH concession speech, but I would contend that this is truly a Victory speech. I hope someone can find a way to post that longer version.
GO RON PAUL ! ! !
and this truly was a victory party. As soon as we saw his speech being broadcast on CNN live on a bigscreen next to the stage, everyone went crazy. it was one of the best moments of the campaign so far no doubt.
I wish there was another person out there with Ron Paul's ideals and honesty, who was actually "electable". I hate to say it, but Dr. Paul can come across as a bit of a "bumbling old man" on television - as sad as the truth is, that makes him basically "unelectable". That and the fact that the mainstream media blows him off. And now we are going to give the mainstream media all of those dollars from the campaign for what reason?
Would be nice to find a competent person with "star power" that could run on the basic platform Ron Paul subscribes to. Think Arnold becoming governor of California (obviously he's not our man, but that's what I mean by "star power").
I can't believe no one is stepping up to offer an honest to goodness change, and fiscal responsibility. Voter polling indicates "the economy" is the most important thing on voter minds, and yet there isn't a single fiscal conservative in the race except Dr. Paul.
Being a Ron Paul supporter of the freedom message, marching, talking,handing packets and information out to those who might listen is rewarding knowing that you are doing what you can peacefully to wake people up.
Meanwhile,the voting tallies continue to look suspicious, the old rooted msm continues to mislead the people and the corruption of our local,national and world leaders continue. Yes,we work with one person at a time.
There have been many red flags the entire voting process. Most see the corruption, talk about the corruption, point fingers at the corruption,etc.etc.. Will any of this move the message to the oval office. There is a state of mind at the top position in this country and those who support it,this state of mind trickles down to every level. If the thinking at the top continues, more then words and thinking will need to take place.
Reality is, there are some serious situations brewing in this nation and around the world. The leaders do not care. While we gripe and complain about the corruption going on. They smile and continue to control, manipulate and move on as planned.
The supposed naval situation this past week with Iran, the supposed threat on Mr. Bushs' life along with the voting of 1955 HR and marshal law is lining up the possibility of reprocutions many will not even admit will come.
I will continue to support Dr. Paul and the freedom message. The smoke screen that has been in front of us is starting to clear and America is in position to fall, and fall hard. Wake up people !!!
Hitler said: "What good fortune for those in power, that people dont think!",
and Hitlers second in command said,"Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders.That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to greater danger. It works the same in any country."
Does this sound all to familiar?
No matter the fight, it will happen !
This isn't an overnight process boys and girls. We are a LONGSHOT. You don't make a longshot with the first time you shoot. You can make the longshot, you just have to keep working at it.
Look at Dr. Paul in this video. Does he seem let down? Does he seem angry and disappointed? This is the happiest I've seen him since he was on Leno. We're not stopping. There are 47 states left, and we're not done yet.
I also noticed how giddy Dr. Paul was during this speech. I think the single most important thing he said in that speech was that we (his supporters) have cured the skepticism he had at the outset of this presidential bid. Watch the video again and notice how much emphasis he puts on this single idea and how genuinely happy he is at that proclamation. Those who are aware of Dr. Paul's reluctant approach to even entering this campaign understand what I am saying. Let's look to Dr. Paul for an indication of whether or not he is doing as well as HE expects. My take, after seeing this video, is that Dr. Paul is stoked and ready to go the distance!
I was feeling very down this morning, and immediately after watching this video I was feeling much more positive. Then I read all the posts about voter fraud and now I'm down again.
I know we wanted Ron Paul to finish a little higher, but it was not to be. Let's keep on truckin' though. Other campaigns are feeling the financial pain. They are feeling it because they are dependent on big money from lobbying groups. They are dependent on big money from companies that want to buy influence as an investment from a "leading" candidate.
Ron Paul is flush with cash because he has hundreds of thousands of grass roots supporters. Real people who don't expect anything except an honest politician who makes good on his campaign rhetoric. No other candidate can say that. They all talk the talk, but they don't walk the walk. They will change just as George Bush changed. Ron Paul has a 30-year history of consistency.
Let me remind some of you that Ron Paul will keep on going because he isn't broke. Let's keep the dream alive and let Ron Paul keep talking about sound money, changing our foreign policy, keeping our money in America, and most importantly running a constitutional government!
Oh, and one juicy bit on Thompson and his money problems...
I dropped it in Excel. The column tallies don't add up. (and it's not a column labeling problem).
There is a hidden column on the far right. To view it, do a search for "145" (this happens to be a number in the hidden column), then you can see the hidden column. Refresh, and the column is gone.
Here's what happened "Actual" means "Actual tally of the candidate's column:"
.... .................. Actual .. Reported .. What happened
Pcts. Reporting ... 289 .. ...... 289 ... ... no change
Total Pcts. ... ... .. 301... ..... 301 .. .... no change
Giuliani ............ 20054 .. .. 20054 ....... no change
Huckabee ........ 26035 . ... 26035 ....... no change
Hunter ...... ....... 1195 .. .... 1195 ....... no change
McCain ... ........... 207 .. .. 86802 ...... McCain's 207 discarded; Paul's total given to McCain.
Paul .......... ..... 86802 ..... 17831 ...... Romney's total given to Paul
Romney ...... .... 17831 .... 73806 ...... Tancredo's total given to Romney
Tancredo ...... .. 73806 ... ...... 66 ...... Thompson's given to Tancredo
Thompson ............ 66 ... ... 2808 ...... Other given to Thompson
Other ................ 2808 ... .... 725 ...... Write-ins given to Other
Write-ins ............. 725 .. ... 4058 ...... 4058 of hidden right column given to Write-ins
Question:
What did they do with McCain's vote tally of 207 when they replaced it with Paul's 86,802? If the 207 is not McCain's, then whose is it? Everyone else's votes can be accounted for ...
I smell VOTE FRAUD.
... and why only McCain's tally?
... and why was his campaign "stunned"?
This should be easy to settle. Accurate data still exists! in the form of walking, talking humans that voted for Dr. Paul. If the affidavit totals don't change Dr. Paul's ranking, we'll shut up. But if they do, then we've got what's described here:
I saw this and the speech that follows on C-SPAN and it was probably the most powerful speech I have seen Dr. Paul give yet. He really got the message across very well. I would love to see the whole clip from C-SPAN posted ASAP. I wish I had it on CD so as to share it.
Please don't anyone be discouraged by the numbers in the 1st three States. The message is growing "snowball effect" style and will continue to do so as more and more become enlightened. Knowledge IS power and this movement is becoming more powerful every day!!
GO RON PAUL ! ! !
I have had as great grand parents. They still live in my world for the values that they taught their kids, grand kids, great grand kids, etc. And one thing you never can do if you are in their company is whine and say negative things. And they were so warm, generous and so sensitive in undertsanding the need of the hour (in a very good and selfless way) to get their message out that I still get amazed.
This man is just getting started. The concept of failure has not been introduced to such personalities. I had thought that those kind of ppl are extinct but I am proven wrong. I will buy Ron Paul's stock right now while it is low and let others just wander around.
Romney with all his money may not be around coming November but Ron Paul will. Mark my words.
Why didn't the campaign station Barry Goldwater Jr. to be standing right behind him to the side for the cameras? A professional political marketer would know to do this.
Ron Paul is so right. This is just the beginning in every sense. He has fathered a movement that can only gain in momentum.
This isn't a game about popularity. This is a final stand for our Constitution. We must win or be forever changed as a nation.
I want to kick some ideas around for better attack plans.
Ron's speech on CNN sounded almost like he was ready to retire, but if this doesn't happen, we've got a lot of fighting to do, and we may do it anyway if there's another viable candidate that the Ron Paul revolution can be shifted over to, even partially intact...
So I just slapped this site together, and hope I'm not alone on some of these ideas ... Here's the site (sorry about the foul language, I was irritated when I slapped it together).
Amazing. Those are the same thoughts I was having. I was thinking of something like WakeUpAmerica.com. Have a series of commericials asking questions like "Who owns the Federal Reserve?" and "Can they actually print as much money as they want?" or "Why didn't we need to amend the Constitution to outlaw marijuana like we had to do for Prohibitioin?" or "Do they really want to kill us because they hate our freedom and prosperity?"
Have a common person ask those questions and then Ron Paul come on and say "Wake up America!! Go to WakeUpAmerica.com and find out what they don't want you to know.
Ron Paul needs to pull out the stops. Quit being so nice and humble. He has nothing to lose. He still has a platform to get the truth out.
We need to forget about being so attached to winning. We are trying too hard. We need to become unattached to the results and focus on educating America and waking them up to the truth.
I'll look over your site and give you my ideas later after I settle down and do a little more thinking. I think you have an excellent idea.
I like the idea of asking a question in the commercial. It takes the opposing position and then shots it down. I would suggest to try to formulate a question about the major philosophical difference - globalism vs sovereignty. This is a major dividing line that all of the other candidates stand on the other side than RP.
Questions are more informative and might appeal to the intellectual viewers that like education. We need to fight on all fronts, and this type of ad could be good for the average interested person that hasn't started their journey of discovery.
This actually makes me think. Paul is talking about just beginning. If you look at the donation density by state on ronpaulgraphs.com, you'll see the West Coast has a much higher donation level (green rather than yellow) especially in Nevada, Alaska, California, Oregon, etc.
I think the polls will be much better in these states. Especially now that people who've seen him on Leno or some other tv will talk about him and research about him.
I got chills
Awesome. There is not an insincere bone in this man's body, and people can just feel it.
Question: how did you manage to embed the video? I tried the YouTube embed code for mine and it didn't work.
So for now just a link:

NH Speech
A more extended version of this speech is on the C-SPAN Convention page and it is BRILLIANT!! They have labled it his NH concession speech, but I would contend that this is truly a Victory speech. I hope someone can find a way to post that longer version.
GO RON PAUL ! ! !
Electric! We will continue
Electric! We will continue with the work Dr. Paul started!
I was there
and this truly was a victory party. As soon as we saw his speech being broadcast on CNN live on a bigscreen next to the stage, everyone went crazy. it was one of the best moments of the campaign so far no doubt.
47 STATES, AND A FEW TERRITORIES TO GO!!
Rich in NH
I wish
I wish there was another person out there with Ron Paul's ideals and honesty, who was actually "electable". I hate to say it, but Dr. Paul can come across as a bit of a "bumbling old man" on television - as sad as the truth is, that makes him basically "unelectable". That and the fact that the mainstream media blows him off. And now we are going to give the mainstream media all of those dollars from the campaign for what reason?
Would be nice to find a competent person with "star power" that could run on the basic platform Ron Paul subscribes to. Think Arnold becoming governor of California (obviously he's not our man, but that's what I mean by "star power").
I can't believe no one is stepping up to offer an honest to goodness change, and fiscal responsibility. Voter polling indicates "the economy" is the most important thing on voter minds, and yet there isn't a single fiscal conservative in the race except Dr. Paul.

It is not the triumph... it's the struggle.
Remember, it is not the triumph... it's the struggle.
Anyone notice?
How happy he is in this? How excited?
This isn't an overnight process boys and girls. We are a LONGSHOT. You don't make a longshot with the first time you shoot. You can make the longshot, you just have to keep working at it.

The true judge of Ron Paul's progress is Ron Paul

Let's Keep on Going
Hey Guys,
I know we wanted Ron Paul to finish a little higher, but it was not to be. Let's keep on truckin' though. Other campaigns are feeling the financial pain. They are feeling it because they are dependent on big money from lobbying groups. They are dependent on big money from companies that want to buy influence as an investment from a "leading" candidate.

We'll see some of the other candidates drop out soon, but it won't be Ron Paul.

Wake up commercial theme
Sorry, wrong placement - see below
Something very strange is going on with the vote tallies!!
Check out the tallies at the Boston Globe:
http://www.boston.com/new...
According to the tallies, Ron Paul WON!
I dropped it in Excel. The column tallies don't add up. (and it's not a column labeling problem).
There is a hidden column on the far right. To view it, do a search for "145" (this happens to be a number in the hidden column), then you can see the hidden column. Refresh, and the column is gone.

I don't think you're adding it correctly
I assume you cut and pasted from the website into excel. I don't think your numbers are correct. The columns add up correctly on the website.
Could This Be The Reason?
Vote RON PAUL 2008

The Campaign needs to get affidavits from all NH voters for RP!
This should be easy to settle. Accurate data still exists! in the form of walking, talking humans that voted for Dr. Paul. If the affidavit totals don't change Dr. Paul's ranking, we'll shut up. But if they do, then we've got what's described here:

Great Video
These are the true supporters.
We need to realize NO ONE IS GIVING UP, the people that are saying they are were planted. Ignore the posts and don't even offer a single comment.

It's the Message
We need to keep going all the way to Feb 5th. It is so important for others to wake up to the message of freedom, liberty, and peace.
February 5th??? I'm in it until November 4th!!
Ideology of freedom for the people does not stop with super Tuesday.
in it for life
I'm in it for my life.
The idea of individual liberty is a major part of what gives sense to it.
Remember, Ron Paul is only one possible messenger.

He's really started something.
