I'm all for improving the verbage we use... we are the sales force for Dr. Paul, or better yet for Freedom, Liberty and the American Idea.

Cool OP!

Good point Alex - People have to understand who their audience is. Some of the comments on here concern me sometime as they speak more to people who already appreciate Ron Paul rather than those that haven't quite figured it out yet.

Whenever we communicate Ron Paul's message, we need to understand who it is we're speaking to to ensure it's said in a way they'll be receptive.

There's another recent thread here about posting Billboard ads in Saint Paul - quoting Ron Paul (something like this anyway):

"Truth is treason in in THE EMPIRE of lies"

Makes perfect sense to me, however - to someone who perceives Ron Paul as the enemy thanks to our wonderful media and their ignorance, this just makes them think "Oh this guy must really hate America..."

It really depends on who you're talking to, and whether the situation is formal or not.

But yes, I agree Ron Paul supporters can sometimes be a little more tactful in their discussions.

Good OP!

Especially like this response to people who say he is unrealistic or is too radical...

Alex Merced has my vote for office! Well said sir. On the abortion rights, he does promote leaving it up to the States. He has pretty much ran a platform of "Getting the Federal Government out of the State Governments business."

We should include the best verbage as well as other forms of communicating the right answer... video, song etc.
