Hi guys I am going to jump in the shower and then come back and check this thread

Me and my group are starting a tv show today on our public access channel for Ron Paul.


We were told to not have a script but an outline of the show and one of the questions we wanted to do was is Dr. Paul electable and why

I would like some really good answers for this because it is the question they are going to ask me as the moderator and Dr. Paul supporter on the show---any help would great. I have to be there at 11 to start filming

Um be careful when jumping in the shower.

My meetup went the local access route, but we used youtube videos instead.

He is running on the platform of what the Republican Party used to be years ago. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlacFmRGPgI

The current Democratic Party is socialist
The current Republican Party is what the Democrats used to be
The Libertarian Party is what the Republican Part used to be

Gerald Ford called Regan unelectable: http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,924192,00.html

Penn Gillette said he is only unelectable is we don’t vote for him!

But here is the bottom line for me. Why would anyone vote for someone because they think they will win and not because they believe in them of their message? If one votes for the person they think will get the most votes we are doomed because the MSM picks that person. Tell them to use their head and not be a sheep!

Of course he's electable. His message is the only one that is cohesive and sensible economically, defensively, and morally. People have perceptions about what RP is saying shaped by incorrect images and portrayals via the MSM that have prevented them from truly hearing his message. His message is that of the founders, and they were completely electable. The only way that RP wouldn't be electable is if the general population wants to disregard the Constitution and/or believes the rhetoric coming from the two dominant political parties who are vested in the status quo. His message is one of truth, integrity, and the American way. Ron Paul is the only truly electable candidate who represents what the USA stands for. Ron Paul is electable because he is unlike the other candidates: he is honest, faithful, a man of character and integrity, he is consistent, and he is promoting truly American ideals and is the only candidate truly committed to America and American sovereignty. If that's not electable, then we live in the wrong country.

There are some ideas here that I'm going to use in letters. For instance, he's beat Rudy 4 times already. If anyone thinks Rudy is electable, then so is Paul. Here's a link.

It's not hard. Basically just get the video on your computer and encode it to change the file type to a .flv file.

The show may be too long for youtube.
Google is best for long videos, or just break it up into parts for youtube.

It's a bit technical to explain it all.

When you're done filming and get your copy, maybe repost with at least how large the file is in MegaBytes. like - 50MB or whatever.

Really though, I hope you can find someone local who can handle it. It might be a large file,
which means a long upload to even send it to someone to do what needs to be done.

But if you can get it to me somehow, I might be able to get it on youtube or google.

If you look to the last few elections, you will notice that Democrats usually have an edge over Republicans in voter turnout. Thus, if you want a Republican to win, you need to have a Republican that can pull a significant number of votes back from across the aisle. Ron Paul is the ONLY candidate who can do this, and he's NOT doing it by being the wishy-washy moderate that most politicians try to be when they're on the losing side. If you're not voting for Ron Paul, you are voting for Hillary or Obama.

Also, would you rather vote for someone you like and have him lose, or someone you didn't like and have them win? The logic here is amazing.

Also, would you only support your favorite football team if you knew they were going to win the Superbowl? If people did that, there'd only be a handful of teams in the NFL, because the rest of them wouldn't have any fans.

Not only Ford, but the media said Reagan was unelectable.

Ron Paul is the only candidate that is for fiscal conservatism and against the war.
Ron Paul is a Constitutionalist for all of the Bill of Rights, not just the Second Amendment.
His integrity is so unimpeachable, he's known to the lobbyists as "Dr. No." His support comes from us, not special interests.
People look askance at his proposal to go back to the gold standard. Yet no one has a better idea to end inflation. If someone doesn't have the wherewithal to buy stock, financially or mentally, inflation means there's no point in them trying to save. With today's inflation, a nickel saved is a penny earned.
Reagan got a lot of traction saying government is the problem, not the solution. Katrina proved him right. Yet no candidate but Dr. Paul is saying it today.
Dr. Paul's federal sales tax is more progressive than any income tax, especially if things like groceries are exempt. It forces corporations, be they American, Korean or based in Nassau, to pull their weight.
Dr. Paul embodies Christian values but does not support theocracy (state religion). He believes in Matthew Chapter Six (pray in private, don't show your faith off) showing he's attentive to Jesus' teachings and no hypocrite.
He will implement a foreign policy that reflects the morals and values of Americans rather than supporting dictators designed to keep people and their wages down so we can export more jobs (which is why we've supported the Marcoses, Idi Amin "Dada", "Papa Doc" Devalier, Saddam Hussein, the Shah of Iran and many, many more).
For these reasons and more, only Dr. Paul among the G.O.P. candidates could possibly get enough crossover and independent votes to win.

That help? Thank you and good luck!

If it comes to Hillary vs. Paul in the general, Hillary will have no place the go on the war issue. Compared to Paul, she is a hawk and will have to run to the right (actually left) of Paul by saying things like we need to get troops out, but it's dangerous to do it all right away and get rid of our bases there, etc. When this happens, Hillary will look like a huge flip flopper. I'd love to see the national debates.

My response to those that like Ron Paul but don't think he is electable is that if everyone I heard that from was to vote for Ron Paul, He would win in the biggest landslide you have ever seen.

2 things to mention:

we got 2nd in Nevada.

70% of Americans are against the war in Iraq. A pro-war canidate is not electable, Ron Paul is the only anti-war Republican therefor he is the only one that is electable.
