Ron Paul booed during Tea Party debate after Osama bin Laden answer

[RavenMichaels]

Simple minded fools. Sorry that it's actually more complex than this "HE HATEZ TEH MERICUN FREEDUMS" narrative that the Neo-Cons have been trying to throw out for the past 10 years, but that's just the way it is...

[truthbtold42012]

Santorum is a cult member

[BooBowen99]

LMAO You think Osama's really jealous about our freedom and prosperous ways. The Guys from the friken Bin Laden family. His dad built Saudi Arabia and is wealthier than all the GOP candidates combined. Ron Paul's my nigga!!!!!

[MrOrgangina]

Holy shyt.... And americans didnt vote for this guy? Let alone BOOED him? You guys are fked!

[Seabreeze843]

I love how he's restating what Osama said, not his own opinions, and people are still booing him. Lol gotta love how funny Republicans are ;)

[haifab1]

zionist killed thousands christian ame as muslims in ME palestine /lebanon CANT BELIEVE the american christian who continue to support israhell while they killing our christian brothers and destroy their homes/churches/schoold. deporated thousands to arab countries

WE still give our $ to this criminals

Israeli terrorism against america youtube what CNN dont want u to know

they spitting on christian faces on palestinE wake up american stupid

[RJhasFLOW]

God, I just want to smack that face right of Santorum.

[daltonj2317]

Rick Santorum always looks like he just smelled a fart.

[EGarrett01]

The problem is that when Ron Paul is asked about Osama Bin Laden, he's being asked whether he would've responded to the 9/11 Attacks. When Ron Paul ANSWERS, he describes why the 9/11 attacks happened and how you would stop that from happening in the future. People take his answer to mean that he wouldn't have responded. I don't know if Ron Paul realizes he's coming off that way...but he should tell everyone that he would've attacked back, but would change policy to stop it in the future.

[music4826]

And yes whether the people choose to acknowledge it or not we have done things that are cruel and vile to others, from turning down Hi Chi Minh when he asked us for help to bombing the middle east (because we do not mind our own business), it does not make it right that some would attack us but we are being pulled in a direction of blind hatred and many refuse to admit that because they just want to point fingers at a simple answer, without admitting that our own government failed us and lied!

[music4826]

This country has used "communism" and "terrorism" to give up our freedoms for security and it will not work! We should not be involved in other peoples business for example Rick Perry want's a petition to keep us in Israel when we should be HOME, here fixing our own problems, vietnam and korean veterans who came home to a promise kept but never sustained, our government still refuses to call it a war because they don't want to help the vets, meanwhile all this money spent on war can help FEED!

[music4826]

The American people are BRAINWASHED. Ron Paul never stated that the U.S. attacked itself! But that no matter what we were told it was NOT the full story, that the U.S. was WARNED before the attacks, that we TRAINED and gave Weapons to the people we now call "terrorists", and it is stuff like this that is manipulated by the lying politicians to gather people to a false sense of patriotism, and that is NOT unpatriotic the american people need to WAKE UP what we are told isnt always true!

[rammer561]

with that said "IF" muslims were responsible for 911 Ron Pauls view would be right on the money. We (the USA) have been the biggest terrorists in the world for a very long time. We have been killing and stealing from countries all over the world for Corp interests for at least over 100 years. War Is A Racket and always has been.

[rammer561]

All the debate about why the muslims attacked us is a joke. Get your heads outta the MSMs ass and do your own research.The whole world knows that bushes boys and or the zionists were responsble for 911. The US citizens that soak up the corp, owned and controlled MSM propaganda hasnt got a clue about 911 cuz they only tell you what they want you to know. Youtube the "Toronto Hearings" a 4 day event that took place last week if you want an in depth report from professionals on 911.

[surfer53]

Sad. The Tea Party used to be a libertarian movement against Bush's wars and spending. Now it's just a right wing, neo-con group that parrots the same bs politicians have been saying forever. They think this is a movie where the hero is good because he's good and the villain can't help but be bad. There are no shades of grey.

[Skeptic121]

Watch Rick Santorum. Watch his EYES. Poor Rick is in shock. Rick is very angry and does not really understand what is happening to him. If I were Rick, I would ask for an in depth tutoring session from Ron Paul. Always better to UNDERSTAND an enemy before fighting him....unless you ENJOY getting knocked silly.

[Skeptic121]

UNDERSTANDING Osama does not mean we AGREE with him. UNDERSTANDING is very much like spying: a useful tool to use against an enemy. Do you pro-war conservatives REALLY believe IGNORANCE is STRENGTH?

If Iraqis hate us for bombing their country,

If Muslims do not like how we treat the Palestinians,

Maybe we should at least EXPLAIN our policies BETTER?

EXPLAIN BETTER to them and to our own people!

[theboyyan]

I hope the elite don't do something against Ron Paul to stop him

[sonicfanrs]

Indoctrination is awesome.

[Mutedvox]

the tea bag party is intellectually bankrupt.

[TearofFriendship]

Being educated about history is irresponsible and unpatriotic. Be stupid, that's what neocons like. Nice, obedient slaves that will take to their historical revisionism.

@ICantDecryptTheCode Dude haha you an idiot.. He is more American then any of them standing up there He is the only one that wants to go by the constitution.. You need to read it and your Bill Of Rights to understand that unless of course your not American if not get the fuck out of our country..

[nukeworksdigital]

Paul is right. Both Liberals and Conservatives are dead wrong on this issue. The liberal faggots and egalitarians watch Jewish movies while arabs are being slaughtered. Conservatives are lunatic Christians that are inherently Jewish and support zionism.

[Sublime570]

The crowd still cheered. No matter how hard they roll their eyes at him, it won't change the fact that 75% of the audience still supports Ron Paul.

[AustralianAllTheWay]

Obama vs Ron Paul in a 1hr debate.

That's what I want to see.

The truth would come out very quickly.

[NoremacNotroh]

Foreign policy is the main issue that puts Paul at odds with the Neo-con half of the Republicans. I really don't think they consider this concept rationally, as for them to do so would be considered un-patriotic.

[rmccay88]

@NoremacNotroh

That is the problem with the party. Don't get me wrong, both parties are warmongering parties but in terms of foreign policy, the GOP position is just radically right filled with a bunch of bought and sold Neocons who promote jingoism and nationalism. The media, in particular Fox and talk radio, has been the main driving force in society to help get so many people to feel this nationalistic way. I am from Alabama and you can't imagine how bad that is down here.

[jcline87]

Pathetic audience... the booers should have just stayed home and continued watching faux news. It's obvious they can only nod their heads and agree with whatever sounds good to their ears immediately. Get brains and think peasants.

[Sonofman1231]

I love how the field tries to act like Paul is crazy... how dare u suggest we weren't attacked for "our freedoms". Do u guys have any idea what motivates people? This is not a hero movie. These same guys would blame a woman for a rape due to clothing choice, but would never consider our actions & foreign policy had any part in our being targeted as a nation. The attacks were cowardly, shameful & a true tragedy... but to preach about American exceptionalism & rail against Paul's view is absurd.

[LMl3LackDeath]

EVERYTHING RON PAUL SAID IS RIGHT!

[clivec00]

Gingrich is looking at Ron Paul like he's just taken a dump on the stage lol!! I don't understand what the morons in the audience are booing at, is it because:

1. They don't think Ron Paul is telling the truth (which he was)?

2. They don't want to hear the truth as it interferes with their preconceptions?

3. They don't want Al Qeada or bin Laden to be mentioned?

My money is point 2.

[TheSteve4200]

I'M NOT DEFENDING THE T-PARTY ANYMORE..

THEY SHOWED ME THEY'RE IGNORANTS THE OTHER NIGHT. STARTING WITH THAT HEALTH CARE QUESTION WHEN WOLF SAID -WOULD U LET A KID DIE IF HE WAS UN-INSURED? -I DON'T WANT TO LIVE IN A COUNTRY LIKE THAT, AND THE BOOOOS PAUL GOT ON 9/11. PLUS THEY CLAP FOR RICK PERRY EVEN WHEN HES WRONG... I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THEM.. MAYBE EVERYTHING THE LEFT WAS SAYING ABOUT THEM IS TRUE..

[MrTitiez]

Canada and the Netherlands are free and prosperous too. They don't get terrorist attacks like the U.S. does!

[JustThink86]

its sad how many people booed. let me guess who was in the audience and go with "The Media" i bet they were selected based on who hates ron paul the most for no reason. if ron paul doesnt get elected, can we(all the ron paul voters) just secede from the US and make ron paul our first president. now the question is, what area do we want to live in cause i wouldn't mind living in a desert if it meant ron paul was the leader

[shafta99]

people dont' want the truth. they want empty promises like hope and change and politicians blowing smoke up our ass to placate us.

[ismogivenchy]

Americans here do not realize what their country does abroad in less powerful country to keep their status as world leader.You will not hear those negative things on CNN, FOX or any media here because that is the way it is. Go outside the USA, in those foreign countries and listen to the people there, trust me you will understand.

[Priebe251]

Politically I'm very different than Ron Paul.... But he speaks the truth. He's very honest.

[1717jbs]

Ron Paul's the name. Anyone else is just more of the same.

[Chomskian1]

This a sample of UN resolutions VETOED by the USA (1972-81)

-The admission of Vietnam to the United Nations.

-Promotes co-operative movements in developing countries.

-Affirms the right of every state to choose its economic and social system in accord with the will of its people, without outside interference in whatever form it takes

[MadnessOnFilm]

He is speaking the truth.

Holy crap. That was the smartest thing he's ever said.

[D10SdelFutbol]

NEO CON SUPPORTERS WHO BOOED ARE THE MORONS OF AMERICA.

[TheBubbaZinetti]

Disgusting that the tea bag simps don't even get what they're supposed to be so strong on, national defense against "terrorists".



Check this out: Of 2,200 incidents of suicide attacks worldwide since 1980, 95% were in response to foreign occupation.

Before our invasion of Iraq, only about 10% of suicide terrorism was aimed at Americans or American interests. Since, then however, not only is suicide terrorism greatly on the rise, but 91% of it is now directed at us.

[DiverseLA]

Ron Paul was 100% correct. The people booing were your typical low-IQ Teabagging Conservatives that find the truth to be too painful & complex for their pea-sized brains.

They want short impulsive answers like "they hate our freedom" or "they want to impose Sharia Law on the world."

[DevilBoyVex]

@DiverseLA LOL they hate America because we are Christian. If we were a Muslim nation and we adopted sharia law do you think they would mind us occupying their land? If America right now was 99% Muslims then I doubt they would be angry with us. THEY HATE US BECAUSE WE ARE NOT MUSLIMS. ANSWER ME, IF AMERICA WAS A MUSLIM NATION, WOULD THEY STILL COMMIT TERROR ON US?

[DiverseLA]

@DevilBoyVex You're wrong on all counts. Osama Bin Laden wanted to fight Saddam Hussein in 1991. The Iraqi government is Muslim, although they were more secular than say Saudi Arabia. Osama Bin Laden wanted to overthrow the Saudi Arabian government for allying with the US. Saudi Arabia is Muslim. OBL's groups in Iraq targeted Shias there. And they are Muslim.

OBL wants a strict brand of Islam, and he feels the US is impeding that progress by occupying their lands & influencing Arab governments.

[nukeworksdigital]

We are not Christian you bible thumping freak! Prove your claim or stick your Jewish book up your ass!

[Gunnar00]

holy shit.........he just spoke the truth

[PyroManiacFagumz]

@Gunnar00 Is that even legal in politics? Does the truth even EXIST?! The answer lies in 2012. ron paul for president!!!!!!!

[EMPIRE0FLIES]

So they hate us because we have to pay taxes and are in debt up to our eyeballs? Santorum is a jackass!

[Baddassattuide]

@EMPIRE0FLIES Funny thing about that. Osama's goal with the 9/11 attacks was to wreck America financially good thing he failed... Only an idiot would think attacks like that could destroy this country it was minor compared to the population of our nation but we let ourselves get scared like cattle. Had we made minor changes to how security is handled in America another 9/11 would be rare but instead we panic and let the government start taking rights in exchange for security.

[Stunned1970]

The biggest boo line? The suggesting that America is being unfair to Palestinians.

When did AIPAC infiltrate the tea party?

[JokersAce0]

I don't agree with his economic policy but I'm glad there's at least one politician who would admit this truth.

[Iain1962]

@JokersAce0 What is it you don't agree with? He has the soundest economic policy of all, I can't understand how people think that the govt has an endless pool of money they can just spend, inevitably you or your grandchildren are going to have to pick up the tab. A govt job is an extra expense, a drain on the economy, not a benefit.

[JokersAce0]

@Iain1962

Unregulated capitalism is anarchy. Increased taxation and decreasing spending to close the deficit and put some money aside to start paying back is the only way. There are few if any Republican candidates who know the first thing about economics.

[Iain1962]

@JokersAce0 That's nonsense, increased taxation discourages buinsess and drives it overseas, it is proven that when you decrease taxation net revenues increase. Corporatism is the problem, when did you last see a little company introduce a new drug into the market? There are so many regulations there only the big boys have the finances to get a drug on the market and then they milk you, that's one example. McDonalds exempted from health care plan etc etc...

[JokersAce0]

@Iain1962

Only when businesses are allowed to do such things thanks to NAFTA and other free trade agreements. Comapnies release new drugs into the market all the time actually. To say that regulations prevent corporations like McDonalds from giving their employees health insurance is just utterly preposterous.

[Iain1962]

@JokersAce0 The regulations don't prevent them, but they allow them to opt out, but the mom and pop burger joint, they don't have the same rules, no opt out for them.

[Iain1962]

@JokersAce0 The regulations end up getting written by the big boys with a view to excluding competition, sure they have to pay some fees and lawyers but the benefits for them are enormous compared to having a free market with free competition.

[JokersAce0]

@Iain1962

Regulations aren't designed to exclude competition. Regulations are made to reduce external costs on society. A perfect example of unregulated capitalism are the cartels in Mexico. Letting the market balance itself is a chaotic equilibrium that never properly equalizes.

[Iain1962]

@JokersAce0 What regulation reduces a cost? That's a good one, regulations always require expense, lawyers, licences etc.no regulation results in reduced costs, and who pays the costs ultimately...the consumer, lovely if you can ring fence your product.

Regulations create cartels, for example it is illegal for any non US airline to pick up a passenger in the US and drop him off in the US, talk about a Cartel, if Virgin Fly from LA to NY to London, they can't take passengers from LA to NY.

[JokersAce0]

@Iain1962

I believe you need to learn the concept of an "External cost", ex. pollution. Yes, regulations raise the other more primary form of a cost, because more often than not firms are cutting costs at the expense of society as a whole. Have you not heard of the Sherman anti-trust act? The law which forbade cartels by enforcing them to compete? Regulations also break up monopolies, and allow for more firms to enter an industry and compete.

[Iain1962]

@JokersAce0 Yeah those stupid laws, what happens lemme see, lets take the case of Microsoft in Europe, they were found guilty of overpricing their products and fined one billion euors, great, but who got it? The folk who had been ripped off? No it went to the EU cabal, so MS ripped us off and then the EU took their cut so effectively in collusion we were all taxed !

Same thing applies over your way.

[JokersAce0]

@Iain1962

"Yeah those stupid laws, what happens lemme see, lets take the case of Microsoft in Europe, they were found guilty of overpricing their products and fined one billion euors, great, but who got it? The folk who had been ripped off? No it went to the EU cabal, so MS ripped us off and then the EU took their cut so effectively in collusion we were all taxed !"

That's interesting, because you basically admit that unregulated monopolies can be disadvantageous to the consumer.

[Iain1962]

@JokersAce0 No you get it all wrong, how did the consumer benefit? Microsoft are still in business, the consumers have still been overcharged and not refunded, so where is the benfit for the consumer? I'm sure MS made more than a billion in overcharging, and the EU has a billion but what about us?

A proper ruling would have forced them to go back and refund each and every customer however much they were overcharged.

[JokersAce0]

@Iain1962

The consumer did not benefit, and Microsoft still possesses a fair amount of monopoly because the firm was never truly regulated, it seems like you are now arguing for what you were initially arguing against.

[Iain1962]

@JokersAce0 I am confused with your logic, you just admitted the consumer didn't benefit, so how do regulations help the consumer? MS made a ton of money the govt made a ton of money and we paid.

In my opinion they can charge what they like it's up to us to buy or not, but if you are going to have a govt intervention why is it that the consumer ends up paying? That just encourages them both to do it again !

[JokersAce0]

@Iain1962

Consumer didn't benefit because there was no proper regulation, like I just said. Your argument for a proper ruling is a regulation in itself, no government would protect conumers from being overcharged or damaged by externalitie if it weren't for regulatory agencies such as the FDA, FFA, EPA, and numerous other organizations that ensure the afety of society as whole. Consumers end up paying because greedy corporations hate reducing profit margins and would rather raise prices.

[Iain1962]

@JokersAce0 Have you ever been in business? You don't make more profit by raising prices unless you have a captive market, you make more money by reducing prices and increasing sales and throughput. The only way to use the greed model is if there is no competetion, and the best way to ensure there is no competition is to make the market too complex to enter by fixing up a whole bunch of rules and regulations,in collusion with government.

[Iain1962]

[JokersAce0]

@Iain1962

Yes, I know that in a competetive industry firms can only maximize profit at a price level that can only minimize costs whilst still being competetive against firms of a similar product quality. It is simply not true that lack of competition is caused by governments, I'm sure it has happened in some cases and still does but government regulation has broken up far more monopolistic/oligopolistic firms than it has created. Government barriers to entry is nil in against other factors.

[Iain1962]

@JokersAce0 But it is, the marginal cost for a big business is so small compared to a small business. Let's say you need a license to sell sojmething or other, if it costs 20,000 dollars, that's nothing to Walmart, but to a Mom and Pop store it is a fortune.

So the rules favour the big and with the current system, with their lobbyists they end up writing a lot of their own rules, how can a Mom and Pop store pay for a lobbyist in Washington?

[JokersAce0]

@Iain1962

There shouldn't even be lobbyists in existence, as they are a flaw in democracy itself. I agree the rules should be different, the license costs perhaps lower or higher depending on the size of the firm, or some other thing to offset the cost of a license to those that need. As for small firms not being able to thrive because of giving employees healthcare, it's another reason why our healthcare system should be univeral.

[Iain1962]

@JokersAce0 But there are lobbyists, and the price is the same for all, because that's fair right? You see the system in existence IS weighted to favour the big guys, you are even starting to agree yourself, although on paper and in philosophical principle it looks good the reality is it sucks !

The "invisible hand" of the market is the most powerful power there is, if a restaurant sucks they have no customers, if it's good they're full.

[JokersAce0]

@Iain1962

Not always so. A restaurant can suck and be extremely unhealthy yet there may still be customers if they cannot afford to go to the restaurants that don't suck. Besides, it is the big boys who support unregulated capitalism far more than small businessess. Adam Smith's economic philosophy has done nothing but give more and more externalities on society. And Gibson deserved it for violating an environmental law and exploiting poverty and corruption, just like Nike and other fuckers.

[Iain1962]

@JokersAce0 What Gibson deserved it for importing wood, how do you make a guitar without specific types of wood? Maybe next you think model plane enthusiasts should be raided for buying balsa wood?

Look at McDonalds, when there was accustaions of them being unhealthy, they revamped the menu added salads, stopped marketing the super size thing, and in a few years they are back on top in the Fast food biz, not by selling putrid meat, but by improving their offer, it didn't need regulations.

[JokersAce0]

@Iain1962

Simple, you use other types of wood... specifically wood that isn't already illegal. You wouldn't support the eventual extinction of elephants by making toilets out of ivory would you? McDonald's changed their menu in accordance to a change of demand. Their food was up to regulatory standards already, they don't need the government telling them to start making salads.

[Iain1962]

@JokersAce0 Well there you go, "use other types of wood" so they would have to make an inferior product, if you know anything about resonance and music, the type of wood is crucial, perhaps they could mold them out of concrete that would be easier.

Good grief, they are lutiers they know what raw materials they need to make QUALITY product.

[JokersAce0]

@Iain1962

Don't ignore the critical point in my argument, the fact that the wood is ILLEGAL. Why not make the instruments out of ivory tusks, or the spines of children? Good grief indeed.

And yes, a $100 hamburger when you consider EXTERNALITIES, the part of my argument you like to ignore so much.

[Iain1962]

@JokersAce0 OK enjoy being taken care of until the money runs out. You are just making stuff up, $100 hamburger, haha.

What externalities could make a hamburger cost $100, you are just being totally ridiculous now. Even with the Fed printing money like there is no tomorrow it will take while for the $100 Big Mac.

|The wood wasn't illegal by the way, it was all exported and imported with the agreement of the Indian authorities.

[Iain1962]

@Iain1962 According to the accusation, guitar shops could be liable, in fact you could be liable, if you bought a Gibson and then sold it to somebody else, then you are have been handling illegal goods.

musicians could have their guitars seized at airports, it's totally ridiculous.

That's the law.

[JokersAce0]

@Iain1962

google "100 dollar hamburger bbcnews",

The wood wasn't from India, but Madagascar, and it was illegal. McDonald's never broke a law with their food. Gibson did. And I doubt it would be illegal to the point of arresting guitarists, given the fact that ivory isn't illegal... but the trade of it is.

[JokersAce0]

And don't act as if just because McDonald's added some salads to their menu and took out the super size option, they're food is any less healthy or they are no longer a cause for obesity and other health problems in the world.

[JokersAce0]

@JokersAce0

any less unhealthy*

[Iain1962]

@JokersAce0 * Except the government, they force you to pay taxes and now you have to have to pay for healthcare and you pay tax on everything you buy, they can force you to pay but nobody else can force you to buy.

So only when the govt is in collusion with business are your FORCED to pay, otherwise it's up to you, that's the way it should be, but gradually it becomes harder and harder for the small guy to compete with the big guy, this is the opposite of capitalism.

[Iain1962]

@JokersAce0 Look I don't eat at the place I hate it, it's just an example of how the market can look after things rather than needing regulations. Coke changed their recipe a decade a go and the people didn't like it so they had to change it back, they use High Fructose Corn Syrup sometimes instead of sugar, I make sure I don't buy a can unless it states it has sugar not corn syrup, if not I buy something else, that's us the consumer, we have the power nobody forces you to buy anything

[JokersAce0]

@Iain1962

Without regulations you would not be able to discern whether or not a product had sugar or corn syrup, as there would be no Nutrition Facts. I'm not even sure what you are talking about anymore as you change the topic too much. All I have to say is that you can follow Ron Paul and have privatized regulatory agencies which would prove infinitely worse than public agencies, but I sure damn won't. Redistribute the wealth, far too little own far too much. Peace.

[toolejitful]

@JokersAce0 Great! Let's begin redistributing the wealth, starting with you: give me either your car and half your annual income, or your house, because I'm poor and you make more then me. Cool? When can I swing by and get your stuff?

[JokersAce0]

@toolejitful

haha no wonder why you guys hold on to such backwards poltical and economic philosophy if that's what you people think redistributing the wealth is.

[toolejitful]

@JokersAce0 Ok, so please enlighten me on how money will get transferred from those who have it to those who don't without raising taxes or taking what rightfully belongs to those who earned it and giving it to lazy turds such as yourself who just sit on their ass all day waiting for a hand out from the government?

[JokersAce0]

@toolejitful

haha I don't feel the need to try and enlighten someone like you, because you will undoubtedly attempt to change the topic and you've already resorted to ad hominem. Take a few college level courses in economics and then come back.

[Iain1962]

@JokersAce0 However, let's imagine that the wood was in fact illegal, is the response to go in there with a SWAT team and grill employees? Surely an announcement through the media that Gibson are exploiting unsustainable natural resources, blah blah, would have an immediate result, just like McDonalds they would change their menu pretty fast if people didn't want to buy their product. Since the swat teams went in, sales have gone up !

[Iain1962]

@JokersAce0 "McDonald's changed their menu in accordance to a change of demand."

Precisely the invisible hand of the market, did you know they now regulate how much salt restaurants in New York can use in their preparation of dishes !

How much salt !!! Maybe I happen to like it salty...but the government doesn't allow me to EAT how I want.

[JokersAce0]

@Iain1962

You need to stop trying to put words into my mouth. I believe in regulation when it comes to reducing or destroying externalities. Liquor licenses are made because it caters to alcoholism, aids DUI's and drunk driving accidents. Laws are made to protect certain animals and plants from being exploited to extinction. Safety inspections are made on our food and vehicles to insure our safety. And not to forget that workers are given rights to insure they themselves aren't being exploited

[Iain1962]

@JokersAce0 Well they are catering for people who like their product, if a restaurant sucks I don't go back, they get my money one time that's it, if it's good I could be there every other day, if they sell me one time putrid meat, I don't go back again. What you are saying is that people are too stupid to make rational decisions, and they need the state to decide for them, I find that very sad, and certainly not the American way I know of.

[Iain1962]

@JokersAce0 The FDA that allows mercury in vaccines? The EPA that said the air was fit to breathe at Ground zero in 2001? If they say it's OK then you get poisened but with a seal of approval?

[JokersAce0]

@Iain1962

You can pick any little flaw in any good thing and make it seem bad, but that doesn't make it so. If Ron Paul were to have his way, we'd be living in Upton Sinclair's "The Jungle"... eating putrid meat and having no workers rights.

[Iain1962]

@JokersAce0 Where on Earth do you think up this nonsense, how long do you think a restaurant would last selling putrid meat? Would you go back afain? Would you tell all your friends to go there? A restaurant makes money by getting regular satisfied customers, you don't need an agency for that, if there are no customers the business will quickly close. Did you ever eat in a government run canteen? Would you say the food was as good as in a family run business?

[JokersAce0]

@Iain1962

It would last forever if everyone else was selling putrid( or meat that seemed clean when it wasn't) if every other firm is doing it to cut costs or if people couldn't afford meat that was cleaner. Without regulations it wouldn't be illegal to sell such a meat, and I already told you were I got this "nonsense", just look up Upton Sinclair's "The Jungle"... a book that forced regulations even when the incumbent president at the time refused to acknowledge the truth but still knew it

@JokersAce0 If you sell putrid meat people will get sick, word will get around, if you sell bad fuel that screws up engines word will get around, why do you think companies are always bring out "New and improved"?

You don't need regulations to provide good product the market finds out soon enough if it's good it sells if it sucks then it soon confined to the dustbin of history. To suggest that people would go into the food business in order to sell bad food is total nonsense.

@Iain1962

It isn't even just about the product per se, but the externalities caused by a product. They say if you take all the costs inflicted on society in what it takes to make one hamburger, that hamburger would be $100. Look at BP, if they had been enforced to undergo testing and not cut costs then the disaster would never have occured.

[Iain1962]

@JokersAce0 $100 hamburger? Are you kidding, take a cow, mince it up stick it on the grill, it should cost a few cents, the reason it costs so much already are all the regulations and rules and health and safety, health insurance for the employees etc etc.

Whatever happened to Caveat Emptor?

[Iain1962]

@JokersAce0 Of course there are con men who do anything for a buck, but it is short lived, and anybody who is out only to make a fast buck isn't going to pay attention to regulations anyway, so the result is that only those trying to provide a good service end up with tons of paperwork and red tape and whatnot, when all they wanted to do is sell some hamburgers or Guitars even, did you see what just happened to Gibson?

[Iain1962]

@JokersAce0 DHL for example, they were an American company but they got bought out by Deutsche Post a German company, from that moment on they couldn't fly their own planes intra US, they had to subcontract, result, eventually they got beaten out of the market by Fed EX and UPS, American owned companies, so how is that a free market?

[JokersAce0]

@Iain1962

I would prefer if you gave me the name of the exact law which forbids this. Regardless, this company seems to have found greater success outside of the states.

[00StangGT00]

Santorum's rebuttals all sound like Lois Griffin in family guy saying "America good, 9/11 bad" and listening to people cheer.

Nice to see a politician willing to say what is unpopular and he knows he will be attacked on.

[nizzlejizzle]

I'm so confused how this could be booed!! The truth is right in front of us and we don't want to see it!

[flyryguy420]

@nizzlejizzle and whats worse is it is common knowledge that we provided intermingled support and puppeteering throughout all of those territories, yetpeople cannot make the connection, that if they hated us for who we are, then why would they all trade with us for guns and profit and use our aid to dictate thier inner workings.....if you cant understand Dr. Paul, you have no logic and have no mind of your own. When you shit, you wipe your ass...stop ignoring reality.

[Melkay16]

If the GOP nominates Paul, the GOP will win. He will simply get so many social liberal votes, the anti-war, the gay vote, the young vote, the fiscal conservative vote, and most importantly, the 'fed up with politicians' vote ... He is all over the spectrum. Republicans worst mistake would be not to nominate him, because then all those moderate republicans, dissafected democrats and independents would RUN AWAY to Obama's loving arms. And Blitzer knows that. He's counting on that.

[2PacChopra]

listen carefully . the audience is being prompted. Those are CNN producers that are booing, trying to keep their jobs of manufacturing complacency and fear. Dr Paul is cheered for saying the same thing to all other crowds so far. This audience was hand picked and muzzled. Ron Paul still wins debate in landslide on ten different polls. MSM is the beast that we're starving out because real news is back in fashion. E-Word of mouth.

[rockandroll1110]

The people that were booing seriously need to learn the cause of 9/11. America's militarism has caused a great deal of hatred towards us.

[42underscored]

I disagree with Ron Paul on almost everything, I agree with him on this.

[TKDMike58]

the TEA PARTY is a CANCER on America

[deathguitrst]

@TKDMike58 americas ignorance is the cancer

[andresoasis]

Well said Ron Paul!

[jackooboy1]

Neo Cons want endless war... Perhaps they think they can spur the 2nd coming or spur a nuclear holocaust... War is NOT the answer.

[ForLiberty888]

It is indeed a complicated subject difficult to discuss in a few minute time-frame. RP was right citing what bin Laden and other muslims said. Santorum was right that we do not need to parrot bin Laden.

1) Muslim often lie for political purpose. Bin Laden used to work for CIA. We do not have to believe what he said.

2) If US bases in Saudi Arabia might sound reasonable excuse, Palestinian issue is not - it took 3-4 years to plan 9/11. In 1997 Israel was about to give 1/2 Jerusalem to Arafat.

[chuckler691]

THE FOOLS WON'T LISTEN AND WOLFMAN BLITZ CAN'T CUT RON OFF FAST ENOUGH!

[loricarlsonrealtor]

To suggest that they would leave us alone if we just left them alone is ignorant. You can not negotiate with someone who wants to kill you. Where is the compromise? Just maim you? The only thing that will satisfy them is if we all convert to Islam or pay the tax while submitting to Sharia. Is America perfect? No. But we are still the greatest country on earth and humanities best hope for peace.

[chaosbringer127]

@loricarlsonrealtor

Pathetic. The Muslim world doesn't want to kill you. It wants you to stop messing with their affairs. Stop invading their countries and putting military bases. They don't care if you follow Sharia law or not, just stop messing with them.

[nordqk]

@loricarlsonrealtor "You can not negotiate with someone who wants to kill you." That's a ridiculous statement. What do you think we do with North Korea, China, USSR, Chavez, and just about every other despot around the world. The difference here is that we need an undefinable, global "boogeyman" to rally the brainwashed around so we can have endless wars for oil and resources and readily relinquish our liberties. Just like what the Project for a New American Century outlined.

[nordqk]

If you came to bomb me and my family, I would certainly like to stick a knife in your chest.

[DerrEinzige]

Fucking jingoist cunts. I don't support any politician but at least RP has some sense.

vote nobody 2012

[nDelphi]

It's insane, we still have the freedoms to get the real truth in this country and the majority of the people don't even exercise that much. They will believe was the Bush administration fed them, "they hate us for our liberty and [our fast food restaurants, life is to easy for those Americans, let's attack them!]" LOL!

The U.S. is fighting at this very minute to stop a vote to give Palestinians the international recognition of being a state.

[chaosbringer127]

Tea partiers are so ignorant. Ron Paul tells you the truth and you reject it.

[fagan411]

Neocons are so brainwashed they're immune to the truth

[TheCanucksfan21]

@fagan411 Really they're bought n paid for is what it is, obviously the military-industrial-complex wants Americans running around think "dem Moslums gon' get me cuz Im a Whh-iite man"

[PatriotGoUSA]

Probably a good bet the Gingrich/Santorum ticket would send our boys into Iran and Turkey for the next 10 years.

[yadig2012]

*THUMBS-UP if you disagree with the crowd's reaction !

[RevoIUTl0N]

@yadig2012 I agree with the claps and cheers in the end

[MountainMan19831]

RON PAUL is the People's Choice in 2012! Join the REVOLUTION!

[M4sterCr4zy]

ignorant people! Ron Paul is right!!
