I seriously hope they'll post the link on FB and Tweeter.

[Darin]

Love the plan... but politically I think he maybe should have avoided the Dept. of Energy... and maybe the Dept. of Education. The media, and the left will be automatically disgusted by these. Might have been better to go with a less controversial Dept. I guess he's going for the Republican nomination, so these may be winners for that (although I think you'll find most neocons love them almost as much as the left).

Still, the guarantee to balance the budget and pay off the debt SHOULD be attractive to anyone who isn't dumb. Unfortunately everyone will get caught up in the unimportant details and continue to ignore the huge problem of debt.

Though eliminating the Dept. of Education may lose some Blue Republican votes, it is a platform Reagan ran on (yet didn't follow through with). Many Republicans wish there were not a Dept. of Education, and will love this part of the plan.

The Tea Party will drool over the cutting of departments and the balanced budget. They are a major part of our target audience. I salute the Blue Republicans that stick with us for the whole journey, but registered Republicans are much more important in places like Iowa.

[JPriest91]

A lot of you guys seem to care more about getting the Liberal vote, instead of the vote that matters right now. REPUBLICANS will eat this up, once we win the primary then lets worry about winning the liberals overs.

[PauliticsPolitics]

If you are talking to a potential "Blue Republican" - just point out that most education funding is already within the state, and the Federal level is very unpopular, maybe even disastrous (just mention No Child Left Behind - I am yet to meet a teacher who is a fan of that.) Cutting the Dept. of Education leaves more money in the states so they can deal with education in a location-appropriate way.

With a count down and on youtube, PERFECT. I'm pleased.

[specsaregood]

i hope one of the media pawns asks him who helped him with the plan.

[low preference guy]

i hope one of the media pawns asks him who helped him with the plan.

why?

[eduardo89]

When does the event start?

[specsaregood]

why?
cuz I guarantee its gonna be a lot better than some podunk wells fargo branch manager.

[TheDriver]

When does the event start?

In less than an hour according to the youtube link (ticker).

[Endthefednow]

I heard from a friend who listens to Rush, say he loves Ron Paul`s plan ;)

[low preference guy]

i believed he thought all of it by himself.

[ross11988]

LIKE IT. LETS GET 1,000 Likes before the Boss gets up there.

[eduardo89]

Is this the official thread Matt? I don't see the official stamp?

[zerosdontcount]

Yes, bring in the family!

[HeyArchie]

Where is this streaming from?
Like what city? I believe Las Vegas.

[eduardo89]

Where is this streaming from?

Las Vegas

[eduardo89]

Holy shit, the comments on the video are appearing at like 10 per second!

[ross11988]

Where is this streaming from?

Venetian Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas

[HeyArchie]

Holy shit, the comments on the video are appearing at like 10 per second!
I know! It's sufficiently nuts. Lol idk if it happens all the time though. This is my first stream.

[Kords21]

Ron Paul girls are very pretty

[eduardo89]

Ron Paul girls are very pretty

intelligence and good morals is very attractive in a woman.

[badger4RP]

front row is all girls... genius

[libertyfanatic]

Holy shit, the comments on the video are appearing at like 10 per second!
Freedom is popular

[Uriah]

video is lagging bad for me

[AdamT]

And Benton is out...

[eduardo89]

I hear clapping!! I wonder who's going to speak... ;)

[Kords21]

intelligence and good morals is very attractive in a woman.

Very. The one time I'm not in Vegas...

[slamhead]

here on youtube.

[1836]

Wow. He's being very direct and succinct. He's doing a good job!

[AdamT]

"All the other candidates talk around the problems..."

[eduardo89]

The radicals have been in charge too long!

Ron Paul!!!

[WD-NY]

Wow. He's being very direct and succinct. He's doing a good job!

Started off very on script... which was great. But quickly went into 'off-the-cuff' mode... which is ok (but not great).

Oh well.

[michaelkellenger]

Doesn't he have a prompter or a prepared speech? He's stumbling....

[eduardo89]

Doesn't he have a prompter or a prepared speech? He's stumbling....

Has Ron ever used a teleprompter?

[Bruno]

"We have cut not one penny from the veterans, not one penny from defense, it is all from militarism!"

#winning

[eleganz]

RP still needs to be polished with details of this new plan but fighters aren't trained overnight. I support him all the way.

[Kords21]

Unless he starts stumbling like Perry did in that one debate, it's all good

[michaelkellenger]

Has Ron ever used a teleprompter?

Probably not and he would refuse to I'm sure if someone asked him to use one, but stumbling is distracting.

[pacelli]

Ok, I'm watching the cable news mix, it shows all of the mainstream news channels... how come nobody is covering this???

CNN has a live interview w/ cain... CNN has al sharpton.... Fox is showing Brit Hume.. CNBC is covering Kramer..

What the fuck? Hey.. BlackThisOut.Com, thanks MSM, you make it easier for us to promote it!

[mullenium]

the lady on the left is weird. she keeps looking around.. sorta awkward

[WD-NY]

one more nitpick... he's wearing the jacket that doesn't fit right.

[anewvoice]

Yeah, Ron Paul is going off the cuff, a prepared speech would have been acceptable here. Either way, Ron Paul is speaking truth.

[eduardo89]

"We have cut not one penny from the veterans, not one penny from defense, it is all from militarism!"

[michaelkellenger]

He is speaking the truth, that's for sure....he's right on, but yes this is an instance where you used a prepared speech, stick with a script.

[eduardo89]

the lady on the left is weird. she keeps looking around.. sorta awkward

Yeah, the blonds behind him are very appealing though! Beautiful Ron Paul girls = #winning

[mullenium]

Yeah, the blonds behind him are very appealing though! Beautiful Ron Paul girls = #winning


lol she looks like shes in a skit from SNL

[michaelkellenger]

The brunette in glasses is very beautiful :D

[Lord Xar]

And Benton is out...

I don't follow, what do you mean?

[WD-NY]

Yeah, Ron Paul is going off the cuff, a prepared speech would have been acceptable here. Either way, Ron Paul is speaking truth.

̶A̶c̶c̶e̶p̶t̶a̶b̶l̶e̶ Expected.

Prepared speech = presidential.

Save the off-the-cuff comments for the Q&A after the speech.

[HeyArchie]

the lady on the left is weird. she keeps looking around.. sorta awkward
"the lady in the brown pants has gas" - YouTube commenter

lol ohh dear

[libertarian4321]

The video is very choppy- have we overwhelmed the web site?

[michaelkellenger]

Was it by accident those three women were placed right behind Ron Paul?

I got a thing for blonds, can't believe I missed her! She is very very beautiful!

[eduardo89]

I don't follow, what do you mean?

not out in that way

[mullenium]

man that lady on the left is cracking me up

[afwjam]

only under 25 can opt out of SS? Im 26, that ain't fair. Let me out.

[JamesButabi]

Oh no not 25 and under! I'm 26 lol

[badger4RP]

this is what its going to be like when he is president.

[eduardo89]

Oh no not 25 and under! I'm 26 lol


only under 25 can opt out of SS? Im 26, that ain't fair. Let me out.

Haha pwn3d.


I'm sure Ron could issue a waiver ;)

[Bruno]

Was it by accident those three women were placed right behind Ron Paul?

Having been placed myself behind a candidate previously, it was most likely not by accident.

[Darin]

Thought this might be covered on the news... Cain's on FOX and CNN talking about 9-9-9. MSNBC are talking about the economy with Sharpton.

- Darin

[eduardo89]

Having been placed myself behind a candidate previously, it was most likely not by accident.

are you a beautiful young woman?

[JamesButabi]

Still havent fixed that jacket lol

[Bruno]

are you a beautiful young woman?

No, but my wife is!! :D

I'm just the handsome silver-haired guy lucky enough to be married to her.

[thehighwaymanq]

Hahahahahahhahaha

[squarepusher]

are they trying to appeal to his weak demographics?

[Akus]

did you hear him say that the path to prosperity is less liberty and more government?
he did say that, no trolling

[WD-NY]

Still havent fixed that jacket lol

srsly. This jacket needs to be retired! That said, it did fit well while he was sitting down with Wolf. So perhaps this is a good jacket for sit down interviews but horrible for standup events.

[JamesButabi]

Boom! military support truthbomb!

[eleganz]

I'm on board for teleprompters, it is completely necessary. If we want RP to be considered top-tier, his speeches need to be top-tier as well. Obama bought his presidency with his charisma...Ron Paul would end this election right here and now with the charisma of Obama combined with his knowledge, record and honesty

[specsaregood]

are you a beautiful young woman?

its the internet, everybody is a beautiful young woman.

[flightlesskiwi]

"you made a very good point about why i better be the nominee if you are concerned about these wars!!"

[HeyArchie]

Ron is much more comfortable in the Q&A than the speech lol.

[eduardo89]

its the internet, everybody is a beautiful young woman.

Oh yeah...

[thehighwaymanq]

KILLING these questions! Awesome!

[Machiavelli]

That brunette is smokin

[michaelkellenger]

I don't like the fact that he keeps needing to ask Jesse what the question is :/

[ItsTime]

Just got back home, I love all the women behind him.

Anyone chant Black This Out yet?

[eduardo89]

That brunette is smokin

Yeah, that's my girlfriend.

[JamesButabi]

CBS Lady flabbergasted and interrupts lol

[WD-NY]

Not a big fan of Ron's "excited/goofy" persona in situations such as this. The stern/serious Paul comes across with far more gravitas and is a must when putting on press conferences about the Economy (which is in CRISIS).

Not sure what to make of this production today....

Assuming this is the first of many such 'formal press events' - hopefully Ron & Co. will review the tape and work on improving the presentation.

[thehighwaymanq]

He needs an ear-piece

[mac_hine]

mic the questioners

[HeyArchie]

I don't like the fact that he keeps needing to ask Jesse what the question is :/
It has only happened a couple of times. I can't hear the questions either, to be fair.

Agreed. I think his next one will be better. But, I think overall he did well.

[speciallyblend]

where is the blackthisout chant??

[MJU1983]

That was pretty cool!

[eduardo89]

where is the blackthisout chant??
Blacked out.

[AdamT]

where is the blackthisout chant??

Didn't happen.

[specsaregood]

I don't like the fact that he keeps needing to ask Jesse what the question is :/

I'm in my 30's and would probably have to do the same thing.

[ItsTime]

Might have not been the right setting for the chant, Ill wait for what people on the ground tell us.

[bluesc]

did you hear him say that the path to prosperity is less liberty and more government?
he did say that, no trolling

He misspoke. The media won't quote him on it. No biggie.

[Xenophage]

I thought it was done pretty well.

[Liberty74]

exactly

[slamhead]

Don't know if you noticed the number of likes. Last I looked it was 3700 for that event. There were a lot of people tuning into the youtube stream.

[Eric21ND]

Need a mic on the floor so we can hear questions.

[SpicyTurkey]

I don't mean to down play the seriousness of this thread, but did anyone notice the hot blondes (and the hot brunette) behind RP? DAMN!!!

[eok321]

10.5k comments on the video already LOL

[Darin]

Yeah, production on that was pretty terrible. The stagging of the girls behind him... some are needed to convey the misconception that only young men support him... but almost the entire recorded stage was women. Minor problem though compared to the rest. The quality of the stage, podium, backdrop. The audio quality. The media should have been in the front rows and miced. His mannerisms should be more muted in an event like this - better podium could help here.

Anyway, I missed the first half, I'll have to go back and watch it. Great plan for the most part... but his campaign needs to work on upscaling the production values.

I was going to ride my harley out to Vegas for this but had another commitment. Wish I did now.

[Liberty74]

The live comments at YouTube are extremely fast meaning lots of people are watching. :D

[Tod]

Man, that was GREAT!

Looks like they are going to replay the press conference again....

[Rocket_pilot]

Is there a YouTube recap of this? I missed it.

[slamhead]

The live comments at YouTube are extremely fast meaning lots of people are watching. :D

One thing that became apparent about the Cain supporters from watching the comment stream. They are just blind supporters drinking from the MSM trough.

[raider4paul]

I think Ron needs to say he'd seek an amendment giving the States back their right to elect the senators themselves. IMO that would solve a lot of our problems.

[1836]

Is there a YouTube recap of this? I missed it.

Right, there should be. I missed the last part due to an important phone call.

[AdamT]

Do not hold your breath though. Much of the Tea Party has been usurped and neo-conned. :(

I don't think getting caught up in the debate over something that 95% of the public has never once thought about is the right strategy for a difficult campaign.

[raider4paul]

I don't think getting caught up in the debate over something that 95% of the public has never once thought about is the right strategy for a difficult campaign.

That's exactly what he's already done. But I think average people would be much more open to hearing that we should give the States back their representation in Congress than they typically are to hearing we should get rid of the Dept of Health or the TSA.

[specsaregood]

That's exactly what he's already done. But I think average people would be much more open to hearing that we should give the States back their representation in Congress than they typically are to hearing we should get rid of the Dept of Health or the TSA.

On the contrary. Every single media outlet would say that RP wants to take your right to vote away. Hell, NC State Rep. Bradley got attacked for that position and he was just running for state rep.

He could have paused a little bit but what he said is correct.

More Freedom = More Prosperity

More Government = Less Liberty = More Poverty


Oh and I realize your being sarcastic:toady:

[Echoes]

Taka that NeoCons !

A real plan from a real conservative.

[Patrick Henry]

I approve of this plan. :D

If you are talking to a potential "Blue Republican" - just point out that most education funding is already within the state, and the Federal level is very unpopular, maybe even disastrous (just mention No Child Left Behind - I am yet to meet a teacher who is a fan of that.) Cutting the Dept. of Education leaves more money in the states so they can deal with education in a location-appropriate way.

I am a teacher, and NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND WAS AND STILL IS STUPID!!! Poorly implemented and the only thing Obama does with it is change its name to Race to the Top. That too is another joke. Cut the Dept. of Ed, I'll manage. I just can't wait to tell all the NEA union people to start raising a stink. Oh I can't wait to start telling them off (of course as nicely as possible so I don't look like a RP kook:D)

I would give my right arm for a campaign manager. And enough funding to pay one.

[GunnyFreedom]

On the contrary. Every single media outlet would say that RP wants to take your right to vote away. Hell, NC State Rep. Bradley got attacked for that position and he was just running for state rep.

Not just attacked, attacked HARD. Only reason it didn't work is because people thought it was so crazy that it couldn't possibly be true. My opponent spent something like $75,000 hitting me on the 17th Amendment alone.

Gunny,
Unfortunately I'm up here in Michigan but if I was teaching in NC, you'd have my vote brother.
