  • so is he saying that we can privatize regulation? Is there a such thing called privatized regulation? what would be there goal? How do they make money? We wouldn't be paying them so someone must be. They can't receive our funding because that wouldn't make sense based on what Ron just said. A clarity would be nice.

  • Ron Paul 2011!

  • holy shit the republicans have a black dude

  • republicans love sucking the placid rotting cock of ronald reagan.

  • he sure keeps you on the edge of your seat .

  • I love him and im following him from a few years also if im not american.

    but I have 2 questions:

    what does he think about universal healthcare?

    and what does he think about universal educational system?

  • He is so great.. I love him

  • Amazing American Deep rooted following we will win this in 2012!!!

  • HOLY CHRIST HE IS MY SAVIOR

    "THE WAY WE USE THE INTERSTATE COMMERCE CLAUSE IS A DISASTER"

    HOLY FUCK, HOLY FUCK

    THIS MAN IS A GOD

  • What a stud!

  • 100000% Drumvain..if not I feel bad for the sheeple its over Ron Paul 2012!!

  • The GOP are the Redcoats of today, who want a plutocratic kingdom. So what if Paul is not a warmonger? He's the same goddamn unAmerican plutocrat as the rest of them. Give me a break.

  • True patriot.

  • Three years later, we no longer need excuses for Palin. But it remains true even now that Republicans do not take intelligence or expertise very seriously as qualifications for the presidency. Mitt Romney’s smarts do him surprisingly little good; Rick Perry’s non-smarts do him disturbingly little harm; and Michele Bachmann’s out-beyond-the-Orion-belt substitutions for familiarity with life here on Earth only intensify the admiration of her fan base

  • viva ron paul!!

  • This is our last shot..this man is getting old..spread the word

  • Ron Paul "I fricking LOVE you man"

  • @femmepoetykable "My own kind" ? First of all I am a human being and I do not associate a political party with my identity. If you do you are living in a falsely created paradigm. How could you be awake to Zionism infiltration into our media but stuck in a right vs left mindset? Perry & Obama both work for the same military industrial complex and the banks that run it. That's why the wars have not stopped. Perry would continue the same agenda Obama, Bush, Clinton & Bush 41 had, a New world order

  • Warning to all Ron Paul voters/supporters:

    If you’re planning on voting for Ron Paul then you’re going to have to register with the Republican Party. Every time Paul runs for president the RINOs in the GOP ranks organize closed ballot primaries (this means you have to be registered with the party to vote for party members) to isolate Paul’s cross party appeal from his would be voters. This man is our only hope. If you agree copy & paste this in every Ron Paul you see on youtube.

  • I like Paul the most out of the republican field, but the government bashing is so absurd.

    Do people honestly forget the good things government has done:

    -NASA

    -The interstate highway

    -Internet

    -Social security (drastically cut the # of seniors living in poverty)

    -Consumer protection

    ...I could go on. The point is government is good, but it can become bloated. I think he should stick with cutting the military budget (as he has suggested) as that has the most waste of any federal department.

  • @maxEmoose36 His message is to reign in government, of by & for the people means little if we allow the gov to expand like what has happened post 9/11. Our government is not controlled by us but by the banks and corporations that run it. So while many good things can come from establishing a legal constitutional government, what we have now is turning into a police state control grid nanny state. Ron Paul knows the solution but it may mean we sacrifice now for the future of our grandchildren.

  • @maxEmoose36 Nasa is a great program and i really appreciate what those people do, unfortunately when we're 14-15Trill in debt its just not the top priority, the gov. has already cut it alottt.

    the internet is DEFINITELY not controlled by gov, if it did it there would be all sort of censors. Be glad that government is not limiting or controlling it.

    yes soc. security is helpful but there are alternatives for young people, its aimed toward old.

    consumer protection yes i agree but its costly

  • @MrBigEnchilada

    Nasa-agreed to some extent.

    Internet-never claim they control it just claimed they were a HUGE part in its early stages, google ARPANET

    Soc security-reduced poverty in seniors from 30% when it was implemented to around 10% now. Thats its purpose.

  • wow Ron Paul learned from his 2008 campaign and turns every suggestive question into a winner.

  • Notice.....How ALL other candidates do not go into depth about their responses...And then Ron Paul annihilates them....If he was a Mortal Kombat character, he'd proudly be more immortal than Raiden.

  • Instead of Back to the Future featuring Michael J. Fox

    It should be Back to the Constitution featuring Ron Paul!!!!

  • Pure genius.

  • So let me get this straight, delete the minimum wage laws is ron pauls "solution" to getting more jobs. wow is that pathetic. obama is trying to pass a jobs act and rick perry is pullin a ronald reagan. ugh.... this is all just terrible, terrible. vote ron paul in, see what the happens. no crying when ur pay gets raped and you can hardly buy anything at all because ron paul is an isolationist

  • @NUGNESS123 why do people talk and dont know s-it damm please hear me and hear me good if the xbox360 is 59.99 you be like damm that cheap but if you make 400.00 bi weekly then that a lot we wont have less it would be the same just less money being made and spent

  • @BIGDREADPRODUCTIONS what are you saying.....? i cant even comprehend you.

  • yeah if ron doesnt get elected ive lost all hope and respect for the american people. but i guess theres not much left anyway

  • HE HAS ADHD/WOW THIS IS TOO MUCH HE CANNOT RUN THIS COUNTRY.

  • @Handoncockst1 Why didn’t you just say you were an Obama supporter and employed by a public unions where entitlement are a way of life. That’s why you don’t understand him and that’s OK! You aren’t expected to, you will never understand until the coffers are empty..Just wait be patient!

  • @razoredge45 Ron Paul is a government employee with a union benefits. Get a grip you folks never want to hear anything that suggest there is something wrong with this candidate. His presentation speaks volumes for me.  You Paul supporters are very hostile and frightening.

  • @Hancockst1 hate to tell you this, but all the people on this stage are or have been in the past, other than Hermain Cain. unfortunately, being part of the system is the only way to get on that stage.

  • @Hancockst1 We are hostile and frightening because we believe in Liberty, nonviolence, and private property? Let me guess, you are not frightened by people who want to tax us all to hell, regulate business and personal freedom into bankruptcy, prop up failing companies with tax payers' money, inflate our currency till we poor are eating our shoes, and send our children off to die in foreign wars. Certainly, that is just par for the course. He may have accepted Union benefits? We are in 5 wars!

  • @LemurOfMercy That is simply no excuse for that behavior. Yeah you believe in liberty you should you were born with it. What is it about the idea of getting rid of the minimum wage that convinces me that Mr. Paul is not the best candidate for office (Communist China) . Without regulations and rules this country would have been on fire by now. You folks need to stop fantasing about the constituion and liberty. It took intervention by Gov. to abolish slavery, control contaminants, etc

  • @LemurOfMercy That is simply no excuse for that behavior. Yeah you believe in liberty you should you were born with it. What is it about the idea of getting rid of the minimum wage that convinces me that Mr. Paul is not the best candidate for office (Communist China) . Without regulations and rules this country would have gone up in smoke. You folks need to stop dreaming about the constitution and liberty. It took intervention by Gov. to abolish slavery, control contaminants, etc

  • @Hancockst1 And look where it has gotten us... The fallacy here is that rules and regulations are inseparable from the Federal Gov. If you want to look into RP's stance on the minimum wage issue, here is one place to start: John Stossel - The State Against Blacks. It is on Youtube, but I can't link it.

    You say they abolished slavery; I say they did it violently, when the rest of the world was able to do it simply by purchasing slaves and releasing them. The ends don't justify the means.

  • @Hancockst1 I really hope you know that he gives a substantial portion of his salary back and has proposed legislation to reduce congressional pay.

  • HE HAS ADHD

  • IF GOVERNMENT IS SO BIG WHY DON'T THEY ALL JUST GO HOME. THAT WILL MAKE IT ALOT SMALLER. BY THE WAY RON PAUL IS CRAZY.

  • @Hancockst1 that made absolutely no fucking sense...im ashamed to live in the same country as you

  • What the HELL are you guys talking about? "Republican policy/Liberal policy" wrecking the market place?! There's two policies: "Keynesian, and Austrian". Keynesian is the economic policies of both the Republicans AND Liberals! Austrian is the policy of Ron Paul! Read some Ludwig Von Mises or Hayek or Goldberg before you go playing the "left vs right blame game". BOTH your parties are to blame because NEITHER has any comprehension of Austrian economic policies. You both sound like jackasses!

  • Thanks to liberal policy the world economy is crashing. We must do two things to stop the meltdown NOW!!! Firstly, we need to raise all payroll taxes 10% for one year. We also need to stop (right now) wasteful handout programs like medicare, social security, unemployment,, etc. and lower the minimum wage to $2/hr so we can compete with China. I will work with Perry, Ryan and my other republican colleagues and take immediate action on these proposals. God bless the GOP!

  • @GOPkicksbutt USA economy is crashing because of REPUBLICAN policy.

  • Paul should precursor inflation with INTENTIONAL every time. He should NEVER say "business cycle" but should say market manipulation.

  • The silver dime is worth $3.50 because of INTENTIONAL inflation by a MAFIA which criminally influenced Congress to create the Federal Reserve act in 1913 (a regulation).

    If Dr. Paul had been CLEAR on that, it would have been even a better comment.

    Instead he generalized regulation as if ALL regulation is bad and all regulation was the source of inflation.

    SOMEBODY wake HIM UP..

  • @StratusBlue The Jewish Mafia? All is clear in hindsight, maybe you could run for president, congress, senate or? No, I am serious.

  • @Drumvain Mafia is an italian acronym that refers to a Italian revolutionary freemason named Mazzini. They used Freemasonry to infiltrate many Euro nations and Albert Pike was their agent in the USA. Zionism is there mechanism to create a religious war that sets up their rule of entire world. Mazzini authorizes theft, arson and murder in Italian is acronym MAFIA. Judaism is a scapegoat for Zionists. It will take more than legislation to oust the MAFIA from power.

  • @StratusBlue Thanks

  • The silver dime comment was very good

  • ONLY Romney mentioned that the social security TRUST fund was looted. WHY?

    OBVIOUSLY they ALL do not want you to know that your TRUST has been violated.

    The power of money creation is the SUPREME PREROGATIVE of nations.

    The CONGRESS gave that power to the MAFIA in 1913. THESE FOLKS ALL KNOW IT. There is no issue that is not related to that CRIME.

    Why do these puppets NOT answer every question in how it relates to that ABSOLUTE POWER IN MAFIA HANDS? Why are they ALL liars?

  • Why does Ron Paul seem extreme? Imagine: Rick Perry is elected and finishes Bush's job - screwing everything up. The banking system and the poor are all that's left. A small band of people fed the fuck up start a new country on an island. The desire is to get away from banks and government, although by that point the two terms are synonymous with dictators controlling the poor. We've turned into old Britain. Of course American values are going to sound extreme to us. It's what we've lost.

  • America's only hope for salvation!!! lets hope he doesn't get assassinated after he becomes president

  • He only got 13 minutes?

  • Thank you

  • we are doomed......Ron Paul will die and go to heaven.........and the rest of us will live in Hell by December 21rst 2012

  • MSN.com has a new poll cause they can't believe who won on the other ones.

    Please log on and vote.

  • As much as we're all trying to get Ron Paul elected, I think what many people say about Paul supporters is unfortunately true, they get overheated and throw in too many hateful, personal attacks. Perry obviously got pissed at Paul last night (good, because he knows Paul was right!), but you lose credibility when you sound like nothing but an irate a-hole. Keep it cordial folks :) nobody listens when you kick and scream. Keep spreading the message. Paul 2012.

  • @mbear14

    I subscribe to this. Entusiasm is good and is welcomed, but giving in to personal attacks and not being considerate to others is a step back to Ron Pauls image. However, there have been injustices to Ron Pauls campaign, namely the media coverage, and being aware of this kind of situation is necessary in order to call it in time, and people don't react very well to this, so anyone should be sympathetic. But treat others as you would like them to treat you, as Ron Paul said.

    Ron Paul2012

  • @mbear14 I'm very liberal-leaning, but I find Paul very enticing. And I wholeheartedly agree with you. If he has more supporters like you, who support rather than attack, he may sway my vote.

  • @GKEnder Thanks for the positive feedback :) Keep listening to his message, it only gets better ;)

  • @GKEnder P.S. I got turned onto RP as a huge George Carlin fan, who'da thunk it? Basically the same message.

  • @mbear14 Well said!

    

  • I want to know if it was the news casters asking the questions or a candidate. I wont watch anything that shows disrespect on such a national level, I wont vote for a candidate that shows such lack of respect; WHO WAS IT?

  • I want to know who disrespected Dr. Ron Paul So I dont vote for them!

  • @shannalgreen rick perry during a commercial break, but I'm not sure that is what you are referring to.

  • WHO COUGHED TWICE!?

  • all of you who think the government has our best interest at heart as opposed to our own people are ignorant. government regulations never benefit us, and government hand-outs lead to a wel-fare state. we can barely take care of ourselves right now and people want to be overseas fighting a war in the name of democracy? we don't even have a true democracy, based on the fact that a libertarian candidate would never be able to win. get us out of war. VOTE RON PAUL 2012. he's our only chance

  • For those at the top of the heap, it's all about maintaining their control and position at the top. They would rather throw bones down to those below them. Then provide them with equal opportunity, that might jeopardize their position at the top. It's the status quo, against those who struggle for a tiny slice of the pie.

  • Of course all you saw on the news and websites last night were Perry vs Romney.

  • At the state level? Proof the Paul favors the Articles of Confederation over the US Constitution! This why Paul is at 8% approval with Republicans! Then he tries to brown nose Reagan what a sham!

  • @jesushatesyoutoo wrong. wrong. wrong.

  • @amcent2 Prove it! He ALWAYS defers to the states!

  • @jesushatesyoutoo US Constitution 10th amendment The powers not delegated to the US by the constitution, nor prohibited to it by the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people. 9th amendment The enumeration in the constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

  • @amcent2 Read the fucking 14th!

  • @jesushatesyoutoo as far as the 14th pertains to birthright citizenship, it has been perverted and should be repealed. It was never intended to grant citizenship to the children of illegal aliens. Anyway, what's your point?

  • @Drumvain sorry Ron Paul is crazy. He believes in no regulation whatsoever. So you can poison the water, poison the air poison the food we eat and get away with it. Look, the fact is Capitalism is crumbling just like communism did. The point is the so called free markets are bullshit and are based on corruption and greed.

  • @star50ify You've got it all wrong. You couldn't do anything you just said because even without regulations there are laws protecting people and property and if your air, or food, or water, or whatever is poisoned you have the right to sue them and press criminal charges against them. Capitalism isn't crumbling because we haven't have capitalism for a long time. We've have corparatism. Corporations buy laws that protect themselves and harm competition like Obama's campain supporters who

  • @BlindMaphisto got exemptions that protected them from having to provide health care.

  • @star50ify wrong. wrong. wrong.

  • @star50ify Sorry, that's just a wrong classification of Ron Paul. Just because you say he believes in no regulation whatsoever does not make it so. Educate yourself before you say something false.

  • This "Crazy old man" is the last best hope for this nation, not another fake conservative or fake ass liberal. Look at his RECORD! He has been right all along.

  • @Drumvain Truth

  • This was set up , They try to put the Ron Paul down and make Pery look smart and can run the country !!!!! Nice Job MSNBC !!!!!!

  • @ThePeace3777 what did you expect?

  • They are so fucking scared of you, Doctor!!!!!!!!! It's not even funny. Keep the TRUTH coming, Dr Paul. It hurts, but then it sets you FREE.

  • The fact is Ron Paul is as crazy as Perry and Bachmann and all the rest of those loony Republicans. OK Paul is right on how crazy our foreign policy is but on the economy he is nuts. The rest are nuts on everything. The truth is these people will impoverish the American people. The problem is many Democrats are no better.

  • @star50ify WTF are you talking about? Ron Paul predicted the entire financial meltdown to a T. The other meat puppets on the stage only know what they are told. Ron Paul knows the key is the free market, not the private federal reserve and it's lapdog the IRS. Everything Obama has done with the economy has continued it's destruction, notice how the jobs keep going overseas? That's because Obama represents the same establishment Bush did, the same one every other person on this panel works for.

  • Hmmm, let's get rid of the bulk of the federal programs and therefore the infrastructure, but still keep the "top down" structure that's part of the problem to begin with? I think the history of ASME shows that industry won't regulate itself in a benevolent manner.

  • @gurnolla Industry now runs our government. So your point is?

  • @superfast3000gt Amen to that, especially the last question. The creeps word the questions with accusations and put downs towards Paul more than any other candidate, but Ron Paul schools them everytime and exposes their stupidity, and evil motives.

  • Great last 30 seconds! "Don't always try and turn it around to say those who believe in Liberty, we lack compassion. Because we who believe in liberty, and understand the market - we're the only ones who really understand how people are taken care of"... "It's the market. It's never the government that does it. So this whole idea that there's something wrong with people who don't lavish out free stuff from the federal government somehow aren't compassionate enough. I resist those accusations."

  • for the media hacks who always say "Ron Paul has no chance" - Ron Paul is currently tied for 3rd among Republican candidates. There are only 4 in the running. Romney, Perry, Bachmann, and Dr. Paul. The other 4 on the stage last night are also rans. Of the 4 still in the game, Perry is completely unacceptable, Romney is a middle of the road type, Bachmann would be acceptable, and Ron Paul's election would signal a resurgence or rebirth of American ideals and individual freedom. RON PAUL 2012

  • He did aight.

  • I think the biggest problem we face is not expanding enough. While we let the 2nd and 3rd world catch up, we should be expanding outside our little blue planet. We should of had colonies set-up in Mars by now, and yet we can't even get to the moon anymore. Our world is now too small, and there's just not enough room if we want everyone to share a good quality of life.

  • @jpusar definitely the destiny of the human race lies beyond this planet. we have invested astounding sums in "no failed culture or people left behind" nonsense instead of forging ahead as a unified nation. The doctrine of pc, multiculti, diversity, affirmative action, title 9 etc is a recipe for failure and doom. Who knows what kind of materials, fuel sources etc could be found in space. Recently a planet was discovered that scientists believe is made of diamond.

  • pau is an island isolated he is unlelectable

  • @samantha34ize Not so. He has the biggest following of any other candidate out there right now. The only reason why Obama and Perry are close to him right now is because they are getting all the media attention right now. Wait until the rest of the people get with what Dr. Paul is about, and he will have all their votes :)

  • Comment removed

  • Ron is on the ball all too many times

  • Comment removed

  • Amazing.

  • Great stuff from Ron Paul, but not keen on open borders, does he want open borders? Because in the UK that is leading to the death of their civilisation and occupation by colonists.

  • @americaisbacktrump I thought the UK was killing itself with taxes and inflation?

  • @jpusar Thats just part of it. For UK read Goldman-Sacks. The tyranny in the US is being imported from the UK and re-exported and has its basis in the Frankfurt School and in the fact that Marx, Lenin and Stalin all lived in London. Marx wrote 'Das Kapital' and the Communist manifesto there. It is a headquarters of ZOG.

    I implore you all to watch the video 'history of political correctness' Mr Paul is the only candidate against cultural Marxism even though he may not be aware of it.

  • @americaisbacktrump um...no. You can blame lazy workers in the 60's, or British politicians for taxing everything at absurd amounts. You can also blame multinational corporations for using cheap labor in low-income countries (ie: your former abandoned colonies, which is retribution for all the years you exploded them, and kinda ironic if you think about it). but "ITS A CONspiracy!!!" line? Naaaaa....

  • @americaisbacktrump The thing is that, if I said anymore about who I am under my avatar, you would go into a frenzy about who I am. I am an evil of multicultralism. You will hate me.

    Take 1 part evil small group who wants to take over the world

    One part labor stealers

    One part communisto

    And you got some KKK person's wet dream of a victim.

    Thus, I shall say no more in fear of you finding me.

  • @jpusar Your a liberal idiot and its me who has to fear you. It is the left who always engage in political violence.

  • @americaisbacktrump naa... I ain't liberal. I am in social policy, mostly because I don't think its teh gubment's business to tell people how to scratch their arse, and if you can do so in front of a lady (or worse if she's black *gasp!*)

    I am *mostly to a reasonable extent* for cutting the fat of government.

    HOWEVER, I am a globalist basterd. I think the only way to get rid of world hunger is to expand infinity like a parasite.

    And yes, closing NASA was the biggest crime in history.

  • @americaisbacktrump And dead industries like coal and cars?

  • @jpusar Murdered by globalism and internationalism. Beautiful cars they made and their coal higher quality than the imported.

  • @americaisbacktrump You mean "rubbish" (god I love british slang) cars that broke down the second they left the factory? Coal that is the same as any other coal because coal doesn't understand the British need to feel superior over everyone else?

    Here's the thing about globalism. Those countries (*ahem INDIA *ahem) are fast becoming richer without TOO much detriment to everyone else (at least in comparison).

    Give it 20 years or so and everything will even out well. All good things come in time

  • This is where I heavily disagree with Dr. Paul. Companies do not have the will-power, foresight, or willingness to go to the lengths of safety that public regulatory boards have. They currently do everything in their power to lessen regulations through bribes. History has shown this. For instance, McDonald Douglas did this when their DC-10 aircraft were falling from the sky due to a design flaw with the cargo bay latch. Instead of complying, they rather fought with bribes. That worked out well..

  • @jpusar I do not believe that the private sector looks out for the common folk (even if the 'common folk' are the ones making the product). In the past, profits have caused companies to give a blind eye to safety. To say that such organizations like the NTSB or IIHS are useless and will be practiced the same in a non-regulated private sector is nonsense.

    The sad thing is that these regulatory bodies have also helped companies as well. Air travel is safer, but you get no thanks to the gubment.

  • @jpusar Also, time has shown that individuals, and sometimes an entire corporate body, would go to extreme lengths of greed and manipulation to gain short-term results. Does Dr. Paul trust a body governed by the same people whom are possibly perpetrating fraud to look into the matters of fraud? Who will be amending new accounting practices and making sure they are worthy (as opposed to being a joke like in the 90's)?

    Getting rid of regulatory agencies is not the answer to fiscal responsibility

  • @jpusar Would you invest in a company you don't trust? Or would you buy products from a company you don't trust? The big reason companies become so corrupt is because they are protected by government. Everyone believes the government is making us safer when in fact had set up the conditions to make the corruption possible. The government gives a private bank a monopoly to create money and charge interest and when their partners still manage to lose money the are bailed out with tax dollars.

  • @MarkProffitt True, I completely agree. I agree that government's only place in working directly with companies is buying traffic lights and such. But why do they seek government protection? Shouldn't they want to compete in a fair market and deliver products people want rather than what they're forced? Or are they just spoiled, ruthless little children looking always for the easy way out?

    That's why government regulatory agencies that are NON-PROFIT and exist in complete openness must exist.

  • @jpusar "ruthless...looking always for the easy way out?" That sums it up.

    The only "non-profits" have a loss. Every system profit or it fails. Profits aren't always monetary. Customers give money to gain the benefits of the product or service. Unless the employees of government volunteer their services they are profiting monetarily. Quite often they do that through much more than their salaries. If you set up a system of force someone will use it for their own benefit.

  • @jpusar In a free market the companies have to please the customer and if they provide bad product people buy elsewhere. If they harm the consumer there is redress in court. You are talking about corrupt government contracts. Less government less goverments corruption.

  • @americaisbacktrump Only in a very ideal world where companies do not own a virtual monopoly over their products. How many manufactures of commercial airplanes exist? Do you know how expensive it is to start a R&D division for things like fluid dynamics and whathaveyou? Airbus and Boeing have an monopoly over the airplane industry. Do you really trust them to provide safe air travel? Because both companies track records haven't been too clean...

  • Here's another example: Cars. If you crashed a car in the 1960's you would die. Now, your car would, but you'd wonder how you don't have a scratch.

    This transformation wasn't because of the collective hearts of the automotive industry.

    More because of....wait for it.....EVIL GOVERNMENT! DUN DUN DUN!

  • @americaisbacktrump Another example: Food recalls. USDA constantly recalls food from those large companies you so willingly trust all the time. Why's that? Maybe because ConAgra owns the damn fvukin business?!?

    The disadvantage of globalism: All companies are "Too big to fail", in that they can do whatever they like unless someone (aka: government) tells them otherwise.

  • @americaisbacktrump If most companies truly work on the behest of the consumers nowadays, then why does the government have to step in for the consumer so often? Especially nowadays? Are we more pampered or are companies not giving a sh!ts because there's so few of them?

  • @americaisbacktrump So the centerpiece of my point: We don't truly live in a free market society. Too few players own too much of the pie. It makes the game rigged.

  • @jpusar absolutely correct. everything is gamed. outcomes are predetermined. everyone loves competition - for everyone except themselves.

  • @amcent2 Exactly...and that's why government regulations are needed. Its impossible to compete with companies like P&G and ConAgra, so there's not much that can be done. This is the inevitability. So the only party that has any influence or say IS the government.

  • @jpusar sorry I don't understand what you mean. What sort of gov't regulations do you think are necessary?

  • @amcent2 Safety and fraud/Accounting regulatory boards. NTSB, IIHS, USDA (obviously in a less corrupt form), a non-profit FDA, IFRS and SOX laws, etc...

  • @jpusar the gov'ts job is to protect the people from invasion (FAIL). Secondly to provide basic services and verify safety of air, water, food, and a watchdog policy on all products in the market. for example if complaints are received about a product , gov't should investigate.

  • @amcent2 Then we'd still be living in the 1950's: Planes falling from the sky on a weekly basis due to no FAA regulations on air travel meaning daily air collisions and plane manufacturers not addressing/not spending money on fixing design flaws with their aircraft. Aircraft carriers would still be using non-certified parts that would lead to more people dead. Cars that would survive a crash, but kill the people inside of them. Food with cow dung because of the conditions in farms nowadays.

  • @jpusar c'mon now. I'm not saying there should be no oversight of major industry, but gov't has grown FAR too large and intrusive, and they simply cannot live within the means provided to them by private sector industry - which currently amounts to about 2 and a half trillion per year. Seriously, that's not enough?

  • I've followed politics a long time.....Ron Paul has the best ideas and if you look at his record you know you can trust him to obey the Constitution and make America fall more in line with our founding fathers beliefs.

  • Guys... we gotta do better to spread his message.

  • Finally, a politician who speaks the Truth!

    Vote for Ron Paul!

  • God Bless Ron Paul

  • This guy speaks the truth and is logical, thus he hasnt a chance of winning the ticket. Ya gotta be a liar and a cheat to gain office. If ur black, ur a shoe in, regardless of your views. People are stupid. They vote on appearance. Actually had a friend say theyd vote romney, cause hes handsome! Dee Duh Dee!

  • @jobad72 unfortunately there are a lot of stupid Americans. All the more reason why Ron Paul MUST win.

  • thank you for putting this together for us without cable. he's got my vote

  • Ron Paul is the only one making sense. All the people that think he's an idiot don't have the intellectual capacity to keep up with his explanations longer than 10 seconds because allot of America is a bunch of doped-up, A.D.D., welfare sucking imbeciles.

  • I appreciate Ron Paul.

  • Ron Paul's ideas make a lot of sense until someone has to explain them. I think I even saw Herman Cain doing a face-palm during one of these meandering explanations.

  • @deadeyedick1933 his ideas are very simplistic. maybe you saw Herman Cain doing a face-palm because he was saying to himself, "man i need to hitch a ride on the liberty-pro constitution bus."

  • @deadeyedick1933 He's not nearly as good on delivery as many others. He drags out over the time limit almost every time and stumbles sometimes to put together the thought on the spot.

  • For the life of me I can't understand why republicans deify Ronald Reagan!

    Ron Paul's cool though, at least he's not a liar like the rest of his party.

  • RON PAUL THE TRUTH

  • I spoke with an American friend of mine, and he said that Ron Paul does not stand a chance because he does not have the same financial support that Rommney does for exemple. Is this statment accurate? If it is, I am very sad.

  • @xcuter9

    No, in fact he has a substantial monetary base all provided by regular Americans donating to his campaign. Rommney has big business and special interests giving him money but not hte American people themselves. Lol, if you look it up, Ron Paul holds the record for most money ever raised in a campaign, period.

  • What A retard!!

  • I wish I could like this more than once...

  • excellent stuff
