how to get sheep on with Ron Paul

[garrettwombat]

i have a lot of friends who just arnt getting ron paul at all, no matter what video i send them or what i tell them they just are not interested in politics and they think that is all this is...

so instead of hounding them with boring political jargon i started to send them this video, and little by little they are all coming around.

yep.

1 likes politics, Obama fan. Huge fan. Then after being nice to me, she said Paul couldn't win.

1 likes Edwards. She is liberal, interesting girl. She used to like politics a lot more before, but I asked her about the Federal Reserve and she didn't know. But she does like Paul, thinks he can win and would vote for him if he faces Clinton.

and...my teacher likes Gore. Hates Goldwater, mentions him all the time and says "he said a nuke was just a bomb!!!!"

Think about your friends tastes and maybe try some of those.

I am stupider for having watched that video, but whatever works I guess. Congrats on finding their trigger video lol.

One thing I get from my friends when i talk about politics is "all politicians are corrupt". They think why even care? One crook vs another. It's hard to imagine Ron Paul really is different, we've gotten so used to the corruption.

lol, you replaced "dumbasses" with "sheep"?? How is that better? I can tolerate dumbass (yes, I'm leaving myself open) but I'll knock out anyone that calls me a sheep :p

The pizza rap video? Are you serious? A New Hope, Stop Dreaming, Don't Tread On Me weren't powerful enough, but a guy rapping in a pizza constume is what sealed it? That was the deal breaker? I'm at a loss for words right now.

I understand why you went to replace that word in your title, but with sheep?

Now it sounds like a beastiality question.

From your description of your friends, I think the word apathetic would work without offending anyone.

I have the same problem with a few people I know. I've just had to stop trying to convince them. I decided it was a waste of time. Sucks too, because one guy I know has very similar opinions as I do, but he's so apathetic that even Ron Paul can't fix him. (shocking I know) He thinks all this grass root support is put out be Ron Paul's campaign and it's all fake(sigh). Just got to move on.

Carlin has a way of perking people up.

Depending on your friends, mention our 'Remember, Remember the 5th of November' day.

One guy who was over having a beer last night was a hug Glen Beck fan!!

He started making excuses when I told him Glen Beck called me a terrorist.

Many Sheep!

[kutibah]

Wow....just wow....anyone who votes for Ron Paul based on that video is...well hey, it's still a vote right? haha

DO the sheep know they are sheep?

[garrettwombat]

anyone know how to change the title to your own thread... because i didnt change it to that.. a mod did, and i cant figure out how to make it something else.

that video is garbage.

you're showing them the wrong videos.

Tell them how
"He does not participate in the lucrative congressional pension program.
He returns a portion of his annual congressional office budget to the U.S. treasury every year."
This alone is quite astonishing, given that he is not particularly wealthy. If you add that paul does not accept ANY money from corporations, that he did not flip flop ONCE and that he votes against anything that goes against his principles, that usually (in my experience) baffels anyone. And if they are STILL not interested after that.. well.. then there is no way you'll change their minds :-/
