I'm not sure the email mattered?
But CNN® just "re-ran" a sizable segment of the "GREAT" interview again this morning at 11:30 EST. Come on people ! Email CNN® and thank'em for the [TV - PRESS]... As you can see above, I thanked 'em and they re-ran the RP clip as a leed-in to a Lindsey Graham skit...
I'm not asking for $$ cuz I have no webpage, I'm just asking fellow patriots to email CNN, like we have many other entities. Thank you for your time, in any case.

Ron Paul is the only man
Ron Paul is the only man I've ever fell in love with....uhhh gotta go....hahahaha
Interesting point you make...
"Your men love you. If I knew nothing else about you that would be enough." A Knight's Tale. Prince Edward right before knighting William Thatcher.
I can say I love that man too, Ron Paul that is, the only leader wanting to give us our complete freedom back. The only leader wanting to do so, so that he too can go back HOME and enjoy that same freedom.
I'm in love with Ron Paul too!
I'm in love with Ron Paul too! He is absolutely adorable. Everytime I hear him speak I get goosebumps.
This was an excellent
This was an excellent interview!!!
These journalists never pass up the opportunity to spin things, though. His rivals fell by the wayside in the name of party unity? Um.... as far as I know, they were all running out of money - because not enough people were supporting them...
Nice one on CNN
What a display! The world is watching.
(BTW- I think McCain looks like a Dinochipmunkersauarse).
'I always think of all you canvassors and precinct leaders and delegates at the front line and caucuses.
Good luck out there &Thank you. You're a gift.
Wow.
That is all I can say. Wow. I remain in in awe of Dr. Paul. This is millions and millions of dollars in free advertising for the cause of liberty. Amazing.
America's Grandfather
I think that some people want Ron Paul to be more aggressive, more in your face, but I think his manner of being a simple academic / grandfather type appeals to a lot of Americans. Remember how Reagan sort of had this persona as everyone's favorite grandpa? I think if RP gets more positive coverage once his book is in the hands of all Americans, and they can't stop us - we will have millions of new converts into the rEVOLution. RP should just keep being America's grandfather teaching us the wisdom of our forefathers. This interview was great - one of the best.
I agree,
you can hardly imagine how President Paul as a person will improve the image of your country. Sorry, but people around the world are rather pissed with the snooty way of the Bushes, Clintons, Cheneys and Rumsfelds.
Ron Paul embodies the America all the world looked at a model of liberty and prosperity up to the beginning of the 20th century.
Dr. Paul cured my apathy
Agreed
Let Ron be Ron.

Finally, RP is bucking up to the camera! He looked great, sounded Presidential! THANKs, CNN for this incredible 5-6 minutes!
Hope my copy of the new book arrives today!!!
Any NC attendees from yesterday to comment?
Yeah Baby!
That was one of the best interviews I've seen yet! No he doesn't need to get more aggressive.. Just look how the MSM talkes about us like kooks.. And even the Nevada Rep Convention singles us out as roudy.. Since Ron is not they can't group him with his followers. Whom I don't think are that roudy, we just need to get the word out some how.
Assertive and emphatic does not mean aggressive
For example, when asked why he has not dropped out don't say "I guess the race is still on" say “The race is still on, there are millions of Americans behind this campaign committed to the principles of...."
Don't say "I think our platform...." simply say "Our platform is....." These little nuances will give him more of a commanding presence.
Ron Paul has the authority, intellect and the moral high ground. He just needs to assert it. He needs to anticipate the questions and be prepared.
Also, when they attempted to compare him with the democrats he should have responded, "I may have come to the same conclusion as the other two regarding Iraq but when you look at it, Clinton, Obama and McCain are all offering America more of the same. Their approach to more government, more debt, more government control is no different. Our campaign is a clear contrast. ....."
"My real difference with McCain is that politically he is no different than the democrats, he is a liberal in many areas even compared to Obama and Clinton....."
That's what I mean.
he's just so cool.
he's just so cool.

Pssst,
I left out the censored words plz digg.
We gain more and more
We gain more and more supporters every day. I still think we need to have some large regional rallies leading up to the Neo-Con Party Convention.
And by large, I mean at least a basketball arena full of supporters.
Hey, That's a Great Idea!
Fortune Favors the Bold
Like, a "Real" Republican convention before hand, where we state the party platform and commit to a long term goal of continuing the process!
Exactly, a series of events
Exactly, a series of events the media can't ignore. I'd like to see McCrap try to fill a HS gym, let alone a real arena.
HS gym...
HS gym :-) Thats funny :-))))))))) Thanx...
Ron Paul was awesome on Wolf Blitzer
Funny, about 10 minutes after Ron Paul was on, McCain was on saying how he wants us to get off foreign oil dependency so we never have to go to war again for OIL!!!
Basically, it was a MAJOR screw up. Everybody picked up on that right away. Then Wolf had some cute little binket on there defending McCain and trying say that he really meant the 1st Gulf War and that we went to war with Iraq over weapons of mass destruction (which were never found of course). Then some other talking head was on there also in damage control mode and insisted that McCain was talking about the first Gulf War.
Definition of "gaff"
A gaff is when a politician tells the truth. McCain just committed a gaff. Ron Paul tells the truth all the time so the establishment thinks he's nuts, as his campaign is one long series of gaffs.
Actually McCains 'blunder"
Was exactly his position during the film "Why We Fight" which was pretty anti-corporate welfare/warfare if you've seen it. At least he's being honest...it's only the pundits who keep trying to protect him. I say let him really say what he wants. It'd be at least what this country needs to hear, and that is we are the global hegemon and it's all about natural resources.

it's from the dems, but they really picked up on alot of our points.
we should try to start making the case to the "retain power" republican non-paul delegates that McCain can't beat the democrats.
akak...
You always kill me with that "chipmunk" reference. :-) ROFL..... Thanx
Well, he DOES look like a
Well, he DOES look like a chipmunk --- a really, really mean and nasty one! But those little T-Rex arms make him look like the dinosaur that he is as well, so I can never decide which image to go with.

Stop it! Now you're making me laugh, too.
And that's just not nice, to laugh about how funny some people look! :-)

Ron Paul neds to quit the soft sale. It makes him look weak.
He appears too academic. He needs to come on as one that wants to lead this nation.
Question from Wolf:
Ron Paul, Will you support John McCain. You are so close in line with him? He is pro life and for low taxes, blah, blah, blah….
RP Answer.
I have a new book out talking about our Revolution. This is not really a Revolution but a return to the principles of liberty and limited government. The idea that the state is here to seve the people not that the people are here to serve the state through taxes.This is the idea this country was founded upon.
Currently we have a Marxist Obama, a soft socialist Hillary and a fascist McCain. Each of these believe strongly in a statist form of government.
So, even though John McCain and I are both Republicans I am the only one that believes in the principles this country was founded upon. The principles of limited government, state sovereignty, individual responsibility, non intervention and a limited federal government.
So no, until John McCain renounces deficit spending, infringement on the rights of the staes, socialistic programs, and any form of federal regulation that benefits one corporation over another I can not support him.
People today are over taxed and over regulated and the prices are soaring as a result of inflation. They just want a sound economy and a stable currency and that is what we will help them achieve. So, we will fight to restore these principles until the very end.
I would agree but....
Listening to Ron Paul speaking ( or being passed over in the debates) infuriates me too. I always say I'm glad I'm not present during the debates because I'd probably charge the mediator and throttle him for bypassing Dr. Paul or asking some inane question.
I've come to see it as part of his charm, though. At this point I can't imagine Ron Paul -Pit Bull. It's a slower, more low-key approach to the problem. One I certainly wouldn't have the patience for. He must have the patience of an oyster to put up with it without exploding.
They think they are putting things over on him. Instead, I think they are infuriating guys like you and me and several million more who now see through the media bias that exists. They have cut their own throats on Ron Paul's very patient scalpel and we get to watch them bleed out now.
The truth it, Ron Paul's campaign is stronger than ever right now. His grassroots appeal has started to take over conventions. Instead of disappearing, like they hoped their tactics would guarantee, he has gained power from the blackout. The book sales show that if nothing else.
Now the press is starting to begrudgingly give him airtime and he is blossoming in the light. Sure, Wolf and the other morons will through in the obligatory stupid question like "Who would you support in this election" or "If you were a tree, what sort of tree would you be?", but Paul's honest, even temper and honest answers are so refreshing we forgive the halting manner in which he speaks.
So he's not a polished speaker! The words he speaks are what resonate with Americans. If he sounded like Elmer Fudd, it would still have the same effect. Look at the opposite of Ron Paul.... Mitt Romney. A well polished, well groomed suit with nothing to say. Yes, he's a better public speaker but I can't remember anything important Romney said when he was running.
Paul's return to constitutional values reflect in how he treats people. There is no attack, no vindictiveness, no back-biting. He has gotten this far and garnered this many supporters with a gentle, honest approach to politics.... and hasn't said a cross word about anyone.
Who would have thought that approach would have worked in 2008?
Rising prices
Prices are rising as a result of the Federal Reserve printing excesses of currency, thus making each dollar worth less. Printing un-backed, fiat currency is the "cause" of inflation.
Soaring prices are the "effect" of a devalued paper money, which is then reflected in rising prices. Grouped together, these rising prices are then seen as inflation.
There is no cause and effect relationship between inflation and rising prices. Both are the result of devalued paper currency.
Of course, only a few in congress understand this, anyway.
Really?
Fortune Favors the Bold
I think it's one of his great strengths. He had a more aggressive manner in his 1988 campaign, and it didn't go as well.
I thought this was a brilliant PR move. He realized they would be all over the "Ron Paul prefers Obama" story. Which will get Obama people (young, and basically good intentioned, although perhaps a bit uninformed) to take a second look at ron paul, and start connecting the war with the underlying economic issues.
I have to share with you
a comment I saw recently,
Rest assured they'll start on Hillary
Obama was the Democrat's assumed candidate
Now it seems Clinton has made some strides.
Politics are like that
Always focus on the front runner
Usually there is a clearer choice, however
Less was known about Obama before.
I caught the reference, lol, not sure if the people it was aimed at (Obama supporters) did. http://clipmarks.com/clip...
Yes,
absolutely. His diplomatic style attracts people as being nice. Especially with the platform being so different than those of the others, it is easy for the media to portray Dr. Paul as being a "fringe candidate" and alone. But he shows he is open, rational and very wise. If Paul would ever use the term Marxist Obama, fascist McCain etc. it would be a total disaster, as people would be totally put off and blocked and how are you going to appeal on their supporters and win them over? You should be diplomatic and not say all the things you may think. it must be done within a framework.
Good point JohnGalt300...
I would 2nd that. :-)
Thanks
Thanks for showin' that, I couldn't find it on CNN.
This book release is perfect timing I think.
Under the most popular tab...

I don't go to CNN much, who would have figured that it was under "most popular".
Better & better
How blessed we are to have such an awesome leader of our rEVOLution. He only gets better each time he is interviewed. His latest interview with John Roberts of CNN and now with Wolf Blitzer are two of his very best. Go, Ron Paul! I can't wait for Minneapolis!
