[rooteroa]

Uh, it just says hes allowing us to call in and speak about Ron. He's not on the show.

[itsnobody]

Thanks

[No1ButPaul08]

Thanks

Yeah, it's been all commercials for 5 minutes. They are taking RP calls at 7

[rollingpig]

let's kick his @ss

[rooteroa]

Be respectful if you call in.

[itshappening]

can we have some eloquent callers please :)

is Derek around?

use the Reagan quotes and the fact that Ron supported him before anyone else but became disillusioned with the growth of government

[No1ButPaul08]

What's this shit he's spewing about Colin Powell's character.

Powell was gutless when it came to Iraq

[itsnobody]

let's all call in early, well get in faster

[itshappening]

RP for the whole hour he says !!!

[Chibioz]

This next hour is Ron Paul hour

[itshappening]

oh dear, he's associating truthers :(

[RonPaul_SantaMonica]

Is this the same idiot who is on fox?

[itshappening]

yes :(

dont get too mad with him...

[OptionsTrader]

Have fun. Looks like it is going to be a Beck-like bait and smear job.

[itsnobody]

fuckin 9/11 truthers, always ruining Ron Paul with their nonsense

Now everyone thinks if you support Ron Paul you must be a 9/11 truther

[No1ButPaul08]

i'm on hold...any suggestion??

[OptionsTrader]

i'm on hold...any suggestion??

Yes. Speak to Ron's stances on the issues, not your own.

[itsnobody]

Mention all the best things about Ron Paul

Smartest on monetary policy, endorsed by a large number of economic experts, would really cut spending, abolish the IRS, grow the economy

[Scott Wilson]

Speak about David Walker the Comptroller of the currency if you are familiar with the issue.

Speak about how the U.S. is no longer a Constitutional Republic if the Constitution is violated. If He wants specifics on violations speak about the welfare state, the patriot act etc. Be specific and do not talk about subjects you are unfamiliar with.

Terrorism is a tactic. A war against a tactic will have no end. Going bankrupt, having open borders, failing to uphold the foundational constitutional principles of the U.S. can only destroy the USA.

[itshappening]

the troops support RP, war will ruin the economy (look at oil price pre-invasion 25$ now over 100$)

[itshappening]

800-468-6453

[itsnobody]

its starting now

listen now

[frasu]

economy subjects all out...

[RonPaul_SantaMonica]

This guy sounds like a moron.

[rooteroa]

smear hour

[Chibioz]

he is smearing us

[Scott Wilson]

If he asks about the supporters simply say that it is a very small and loud minority that brings the bad publicity. There is a vast majority of Ron Paul supporters who love honesty, the constitution and limited government, they also like economic conservatism.

[Soccrmastr]

WATCH THIS VIDEO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STLR6tFP4S4 THEN CALL IN

[itshappening]

great 1st call !

[frasu]

good first call...

[OptionsTrader]

Reagan basically parrotted the neocon agenda item that we all want the war to end, but we want to "win" first. Turning this idiot off, I've heard plenty.

[itsnobody]

fuckin 9/11 truthers always ruining Ron Paul again

you muthafuckin truthers should not associate Ron Paul with the 9/11 truth movement

[Luft97]

Oh no..

[Chibioz]

this is painful

[Scott Wilson]

Ron Paul actually walks the walk and does not simply talk the talk. This is why Ron is different to all the other candidates.

Ron does not pay lip service to the Constitution.

The U.S. is established on the principle of limited government. The Constitution limits the government and if the government operates outside its authority then the U.S. is no longer a republic but a nation ruled by bureaucratic whim.



Callers need to keep it simple. Don't get into more vague topics. Constitution and economics.

[rollingpig]

Michael Reagan is obvoiusly not a math major..

[VoluntaryMan]

RP is the only candidate advocating that the federal gov't get out of the education business. How did Mike miss that?

[dreicher]

Can we get some callers that have some confidence in their messages? Also, might help to find some who know/listen to Reagan and can speak to issues we are aligned on.

[dreicher]

How did Mike miss that?

You think he's going to fall over and make our points for us?

[rockandrollsouls]

someone needs to call in and say ron paul doesn't endorse the truthers and that's not his viewpoint. We need someone to call in and talk about what the doctor is REALLY about.

Ron Paul was on the banking committee, has written several books, and knows what he is talking about. Not this 9/11 scandal garbage...STOP GIVING HIM A BAD NAME

[mavtek]

Mike Reagan is an idiot, he's a disgrace to his father

[Scott Wilson]

My phone doesn't connect. :(

[Chibioz]

Good tries by the callers, Michael was ignorant on the drug war and acts like we are all the same (which we know is obviously not true)

[jj111]

great 1st call !

Thanks, that was mine. What did you like?

[itsnobody]

Michael Reagan isn't even Reagan's real son

Doesn't he get the racism? 14% of drug users are black yet 63% of the people jailed are black, that's racism...

[OptionsTrader]

A host attacking the supporters of a candidate instead of the candidate's stances on the issues is a sign of a small mind.

[itshappening]

he is very difficult to deal with, im sure we have some good callers that can get through to him...

[jj111]

Avoid talking about the war. He does not agree with Ron on the war. However, Ronald Reagan supported virtually every other plank of Ron's platform in 1964.

[jj111]

Talk about Ron Paul's RECORD of walking the walk, not just talking the talk.

[VoluntaryMan]

Mike says that the fact that blacks are prosecuted at many times their representation as offenders in "not racist." However, he seems to think that attributing their overrepresentation in incarceration for a crime for which they represent a minority of offenders to being "illiterate bastards" is not a racist stereotype...and a non sequitur.

[VoluntaryMan]

Mike says we can and should police the war.

[VoluntaryMan]

Lost ME because of the PATRIOT Act.

[VoluntaryMan]

Mike thinks liberty for security is a good deal.

[VoluntaryMan]

You can pardon people unjustly incarcerated.

[itsnobody]

Oh shit

SOmeone has to call in and say Ron Paul DOES NOT want to legalize cocaine, and other drugs, he believes in federalism, let the states decide

[dreicher]

There is a BIG difference between a strike and an occupation.

[Chibioz]

He can't attack ron's viewpoint so he attacks him by saying he won't have any support in congress etc.

[MayTheRonBeWithYou]

number??

[dreicher]

Did I miss something...is Ron Paul running against Ronald Reagan?

[dirka]

That is why we have a congress!!! to keep Ron's crazy idea's in check!!!!!

What Ron wants to do is bring the troops home, cut spending, get the government out of our lives...and if he has any pet projects he wants to work on, he will have to work with the congress!!!!

this just shows how much of an idiot M.reagan is...jeez

[itsnobody]

call in 800-468-6453

[frasu]

he keep mentioning that he agrees with some of the things that RP and OTHERS are talking about... who is the others? he is diminishing his unique message with vague references to that others... (ex: he agrees with Ron Paul and OTHERS about UN and the role of it etc)
:mad:

[itshappening]

1800-468-6453

[jj111]

Get Michael straight on this:
Ronald Reagan RAN on a platform to reduce the size and cost of government and debt, but he FAILED. Government spending and debt went up during 8 years of Reagan dramatically.

ONLY Ron Paul has a record of 20 years of NEVER voting for an unbalanced budget, NEVER voting for a tax increase, and NEVER voting for a budget increase.

Ron Paul has a record of delivering on the promises that Ronald Reagan ran on but did not deliver.

[itsnobody]

Also get his straight

Reagan ran out getting rid of the Dept. of Education, something now lost in the Republican party, something that only Ron Paul is running on right now

[jj111]

Even if Congress does not agree with all of Ron's plans to reduce government, Ron Paul can keep Congress in check with the veto pen, and also appeal to the American people to put pressure on their Congressional representatives. If we cannot change Congress this year, we can keep Congress in check with a true fiscal conservative like Ron Paul.

[dreicher]

Are muslims blowing up mini-marts that I'm unaware of?

[VoluntaryMan]

Did I miss something...is Ron Paul running against Ronald Reagan?

Aren't all of the candidates?:D

[VoluntaryMan]

"Since the beginning of time"? Never heard of Geo. Washington, I guess.

[Chibioz]

I want to bash my head against the wall listening to this guy

[rollingpig]

i'm done listening to this idiot. i cant stand him..

[itshappening]

lol...

[jj111]

Talk about the debt. Talk about the deficits. Talk about how we are borrowing money from Chinese bankers.

[skeryl]

Ron Paul needs to all in and set him straight

[firebirdnation]

He should have invited Ron Paul on if he wanted to debate Ron Pauls ideas.

[jj111]

Governors no longer are in charge of national guard, now President is because of recent legislation.

[dirka]

is this guy insane???

[jj111]

Ask him why he doesn't invite Ron Paul onto his show again (if he has already?)

[VoluntaryMan]

Moron Mike just said it was better to do it yourself, and not wait for the gov't, then criticized RP for being an advocate of self-reliance, who would withhold gov't services like FEMA. Is this guy on crack?

[jj111]

You can veto bills , you have a bullypulpit to the public as President. To imply that the President has no power to work towards reducing runaway spending is plain wrong.

[OptionsTrader]

He should have invited Ron Paul on if he wanted to debate Ron Pauls ideas.

Of course he doesn't want to debate ideas, that is not the purpose of this hour. The purpose is the same as when O'Reilly or Beck or Hannity discuss Paul, the purpose of marginalizing the candidate by attacking his supporters. It is much easier than actually debating the politician on the issues, and more effective at causing argument and dissent amongst the ranks.

[VoluntaryMan]

Yeah, Mike, why not invite RP on the show?

[jj111]

We have border guards that have been sent from the US border to the Iraqi border.

[itsnobody]

Damn these callers aren't doing so well, Michael is putting up a good fight

[jj111]

Ask Michael why he is not inviting Ron Paul to speak for himself - even if he has had him on before?

[Scott Wilson]

You can veto bills , you have a bullypulpit to the public as President. To imply that the President has no power to work towards reducing runaway spending is plain wrong.

Good post.

[VoluntaryMan]

Mike Reagan is an imbecile.

[frasu]

Mention relation btw. war and the broken finances! No more money!

[VoluntaryMan]

If Mike appears to be doing well, it's because he's interrupting his caller's arguments, and then muting then, so that you don't know their still talking. Then he hangs up on them and prtends their still there.

[VoluntaryMan]

Mike just agreed that libertarianism is the basis of conservatism.

[VoluntaryMan]

Mike also agreed that his father was impotent to even get rid of DoE, but agreed that doing so is a good idea.

[firebirdnation]

If Mike appears to be doing well, it's because he's interrupting his caller's arguments, and then muting then, so that you don't know their still talking. Then he hangs up on them and prtends their still there.

I have noticed that as well.

[VoluntaryMan]

Mike just said that Republicans are sheep.

[Luft97]

I wish Ron Paul would call in and set this knucklehead straight.

[RonPaul_SantaMonica]

I have noticed that as well.

Yup. Ron Paul should call in. Put him in his place :)

[jj111]

Is Michael Reagan really this stupid, or is he another bought and paid for corrupt propagandist?

[RonPaul_SantaMonica]

I wish Ron Paul would call in and set this knucklehead straight.

LOL. You beat me to the same thought.

[firebirdnation]

I wish someone would ask him if he invited Ron Paul on to discuss his view points.

[dreicher]

1. Listen to viewpoint
2. Mute microphone
3. Establish straw man
4. Defeat straw man
5. Say "my dad"
6. Next caller
7. Repeat, as necessary

[mavtek]

I called I was the one on conservative principles, Ron at 5%, he said it's because we lack leaders, I was going to retort, but he hung up on me.

[MayTheRonBeWithYou]

That guy is a baboon.

[itshappening]

nice try Mav....

[RonPaul_SantaMonica]

I called I was the one on conservative principles, Ron at 5%, he said it's because we lack leaders, I was going to retort, but he hung up on me.

Nice call. He was all messed up.

[Luft97]

LOL. You beat me to the same thought.

:D

[jj111]

How thick can Michael be? He didn't understand what you meant when you were talking about Republicans losing their way by only 5% of them supporting the most conservative candidate running.

[VoluntaryMan]

1. Listen to viewpoint
2. Mute microphone
3. Establish straw man
4. Defeat straw man
5. Say "my dad"
6. Next caller
7. Repeat, as necessary

exactly!

[dreicher]

Oh, dear lord...

[Chibioz]

lol he said Ron Paul can't raise above congress because people are fearful of him rising above congress

[VoluntaryMan]

I called I was the one on conservative principles, Ron at 5%, he said it's because we lack leaders, I was going to retort, but he hung up on me.

Yeah. I picked up on that. That's his M.O.

[VoluntaryMan]

He's muting this caller, right now.

[firebirdnation]

Damn, he didn't allow that last guy to finish his statement!

[VoluntaryMan]

lol he said Ron Paul can't raise above congress because people are fearful of him rising above congress

Mike's a tool. Believe it or not, that's his attempt to make ammends, to throw RP a bone. Me thinks he's mending fences.

[Chibioz]

I feel dumber now that I listened to that

[thexjib]

I was just on teh show I was the guy who said that libertarianism is the foundation of conservativism. But I dont know if I was muted or not

[jj111]

Boy what an idiotic radio show he hosts. What kind of morons would spend their time listening to that crap every day?

[dreicher]

Speaking of needing to take a shower...I've got that feeling right now.

[RonPaul_SantaMonica]

lol he said Ron Paul can't raise above congress because people are fearful of him rising above congress

Yeah. WTF :)

[dirka]

WHOA I MADE IT ON THE RADIO!! But i wasn't given enough time to say what i wanted!

I was the guy about if france germany japan have money to pay for our army

[Chibioz]

I was just on teh show I was the guy who said that libertarianism is the foundation of conservativism. But I dont know if I was muted or not

I heard you, mike agreed with you on that!

[VoluntaryMan]

Damn, he didn't allow that last guy to finish his statement!

He thinks he's fooling his audience, and, as far as his regular audience goes, he probably is.

[frasu]

good job guys, but what can you say to this guy... he just used us again...

[RonPaul_SantaMonica]

I was just on teh show I was the guy who said that libertarianism is the foundation of conservativism. But I dont know if I was muted or not

You got him MAN. He muted u later, but that was good. Nice job.

[dreicher]

I was the guy about if france germany japan have money to pay for our army

And Mike picked out Korea as his straw man. Gee, if China put troops along the Mississippi River - I wonder if our economy would suffer?

[VoluntaryMan]

I heard you, mike agreed with you on that!

He only agreed because he was caught off guard, when the caller quoted his "father." Before that, he was trying to paint libertarianism as an odd duck.

[dirka]

And Mike picked out Korea as his straw man. Gee, if China put troops along the Mississippi River - I wonder if our economy would suffer?

I KNOW!!

And he cut me off before i yelled

are you telling me that south korea doesn't have any money, to fight agaisnt north korea!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!1?!?!?!

[VoluntaryMan]

He ought to call that travesty 'The Pimp My Daddy Show.'

[VoluntaryMan]

You can't make the dumbest presidents list, unless you get elected, at least once, Mike. Duh.

[RonPaul_SantaMonica]

He ought to call that travesty 'The Pimp My Adopted Daddy Show.'

Fixed

[dreicher]

Reagan's show highlights the biggest obstacle we have in America right now: good vs. bad, Red State/Blue State, For/Against [insert issue], Us/Them. Americans, on the whole, can't seem to get past the fundamental construct that there are two (and only two) sides to any issue - so when a nuanced candidate like Ron Paul comes along - we don't know what to do with him.

We can't just put him in a table and have a check mark or a blank space in a side-by-side. Ron Paul can't just say "our economy is bad" or "our economy is good", he has to talk about WHY and what needs to be changed beyond manipulating a decimal point. When he talks about unintended consequences - you can LITERALLY see eyes gloss over as if to say "I didn't realize I was going to have to think"...are you for it or against it?

Take this to its end and what you eventually end up with is an uneducated and apathetic populace with no discretionary money to support an outlier like Paul.

[Xenophage]

South Korea has a hundred times the military force of the North. Gimme a break! Their economy is so much stronger, they could produce fifty heavy tanks for every horse carriage with fireworks on it that the north produced.

[Staupostek]

He's just like too many conservatives today. He goes out ranting about all the crap they disagree with. But then when they have a real chance to deal with it and correct it, they just throw up there hands and say we don't have a chance of changing this. Then they go back to ranting against it again. Reminds me of the Scottish lords who paid lip service to freedom behind William Wallace in the movie Braveheart, then sold out at the last minute to the English for a small bag of coins because they didn't think they could win.

[VoluntaryMan]

Mike says he's called the RP campaign "27 times," for an interview, but has gotten no reply. True?

[VoluntaryMan]

Fixed

Thanks. I was trying not to offend any adoptees.;)

[firebirdnation]

Mike says he's called the RP campaign "27 times," for an interview, but has gotten no reply. True?

I sure hope this isn't true!!!!!!!:eek:

[RonPaul_SantaMonica]

Thanks. I was trying not to offend any adoptees.;)

What a sensitive Ron Paul Supporter. Impossible. We are mean and throw snowballs at people. AAAAARRRRGHHHHHH.

[dreicher]

Regarding Korea

I forget...who was it...right on the tip of my tongue...no...okay, guys, help me out...

Which of our president's said "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down that wall!"? When you remove barriers between sovereign nations, the natural exchange of proximity allows better ideas to permeate first at the border areas then gradually work their way inward.

Great fences make great neighbors...indeed.

[VoluntaryMan]

I sure hope this isn't true!!!!!!!:eek:

Anyone feel like forwarding to HQ our insistence that RP confront Mike?

[Mike S.]

Mike Reagan is still blaming 30 years of Democrats for all the spending and national debt. In spite of the fact that the Republican's have outspent the Democrats greatly in the last 14 years.

[Danny Molina]

youtube!

[Hook]

Mike says he's called the RP campaign "27 times," for an interview, but has gotten no reply. True?

That would sound about right.

[Swmorgan77]

Ron is on the Michael Reagan show today (Mon. 14th).

The message on MR's website (http://www.reagan.com/) reads:



ETA: Sorry for the misinformation! I could have sworn Mike said Ron would be on the show.

Somebody's trying to boost his ratings. :D

this just shows how much of an idiot M.reagan is...jeez

Ron's "Crazy ideas" are to follow the Constituiton. Congress shouldn't have a CHOICE in whether or not the do that, unless they are willing to amend it.

[coffeewithchess]

Mike says he's called the RP campaign "27 times," for an interview, but has gotten no reply. True?

I wouldn't doubt if he has called, I don't know about 27 times though. Mike wouldn't be the only radio or tv show the campaign has done this to...and we grassroots wonder why people don't know more about RP.

[Swmorgan77]

Come on guys, do you know how many interviews Dr. Paul has done? He's wearing himself out. Go look at www.ronpaulaudio.com if you want an idea of this.

[coffeewithchess]

Come on guys, do you know how many interviews Dr. Paul has done? He's wearing himself out. Go look at www.ronpaulaudio.com if you want an idea of this.

This doesn't excuse his campaign from not answering phone calls and it doesn't explain his campaign making appointments and then canceling them(i.e. Glenn Beck and Neal Boortz).
