Ron Paul the Capitalism is Dead ....24 Mar 2009

[aviomaster]

Federal Reserve enabled USA goverment to borrow huge sums of money for Military bases  and wars ...

[TotalWarJunkie]

Go vote for the most unknown, loser, freak candidate you can find as long as it is not the encumbent. And when they run again, vote them out, too. After a while they will get the picture.

[hwypictures]

What makes me wretch and laugh at the same time is how Fox News went out of their way to demonize, criticize, and attempt to destroy Ron Paul's presidental campaign, and now they seem to be falling all over themselves to make him out to be their spokesman. "It's always great to talk to you, congressman." I wonder why that wasn't true about two years back.

[Jaspian]

He's a genius.

[LetsNotBeSoStupid]

He voted against the bill because he knew it would pass through Congress because Democrats hold the majority there. That is how politians work, they get the work done by someone else taking the blame.

[LetsNotBeSoStupid]

This is not about being a Republican or Democrat this is about being an American and having the government work for us.I came here to help people take a closer look at who we elect; to help voters not be swayed by their words but by their actions. I understand people here may not agree with me but I hope that what I say will at least empower you to look closer at who you elect.

[tmac9938]

michael williams, eh? i'm gonna look into him.

so why would the media completely dog ron paul during the election if he didnt genuwinly represent the truth. my consensus is that they dogged him because he DOES represent the truth. i've heard lots of bills being produced by him, such as eliminating the fed reserve, dumping dept of education and homeland security...... all that. those are good moves.

however, we never truly know what happens behind closed doors.

[LetsNotBeSoStupid]

As a texan I know he is running for Senate to take over Kay Bailey's seat. He is a liar and swindler of our money. He signed the omnibus bill and added $73,799.000.00 to our debt. After speaking at CPAC about the spending and making the government work for us. He lied to all our faces and he will be held accountable for his actions. He talks the talk but can not walk the walk. He cheated us of a more loyal congressman that would have listened to our outrage and stood up for us.

[tmac9938]

tell us how ronpaul swindled us. tell us how he is not representing free market and capitalism. sure he talks the talk. but where has he misstepped in his walk moreso than other "republicans"?

[LetsNotBeSoStupid]

Ron Pauls speech at CPAC was incredibly moving and I agreed with everything that he SAID I would love to support Ron Paul if his actions matched his words He spoke about fiscal responsibility yet he himself attached a $73,799,000.00 earmark to Obama's omnibus spening bill. He is just as deceptive and reckless as everyone else in Washington Which is why I am supporting Michael Williams for Senate over Ron Paul He hasnt sold us out anymore than other republicans theyve ALL let us down

[tmac9938]

but i'm gonna look into what you're saying. you got any good references of where i should start?

[masflojo]

Dr Paul is in the House not the Senate. You are a little mixed up, he didn't ADD anything. An earmark just designates where the money in a bill goes, rather then just handing a blank check to the federal government. Eliminate all earmarks and you eliminate less than 1% of the bill. He voted against the bill, but he was smart enough to know it was going to pass so he added that earmark so his district would get some money too rather then pay taxes and get nothing in return for their district.

[thegrimlin93]

Look up the video "Ron Paul- We need more earmarks." Earmarks are only 1% of the money that Congress spends, and if those earmarks are removed then that money goes to the executive branch, where spending goes on behind closed doors. Earmarks allow for the people to see where their money is being spent. It is better for a free government (if you can still call it that) to spend their money in congress, by the people's elected representatives; instead of being spent by one man on who-knows-what.

[hadtohappen]

Please just name the politician you are shilling for. Tells us the superior politician you want us to endorse. Who is the better crusader for the people than Ron Paul? We are dying to know.

[tristramshandy3]

Ralph Nader is FAR BETTER for the American people than Ron Paul. Ralph Nader is the ONLY politician that has a lifelong track record of standing up for American consumers and workers.

[thegrimlin93]

All he wants, is for the money to go back to the people, and you need specific earmarks to get it back to the people

[666sigma]

He's right, but he failed to mention the overleveraging and gambling on Wall Street.

In the case of the bail outs, the government should make it clear that these companies are BANKRUPT and that their solvency from government bail outs does not mean that they are solvent. They weren't.

The problem with AIG bonuses is that the FP division should have been shutdown in September. In fact, this entire market should be shutdown because of the systemic damage by one company or so we are told.

[Ooftyman]

Where do you think the overleveraging and gambling comes from? Artificially low interest rates and a lender of last resort result in moral hazard.

[666sigma]

Really? What are CDS? AIG wrote $2 trillion worth of CDS. Did they have the money to back those bets?

How about Bears? Lehman? Merrill? Citi?

There are $4 quadrillion in derivatives. Tell me, why do we need $4 quadrillion in derivatives to HEDGE the risk of a $50 trillion per year world economy?

Answer: Wall Street greed.

Someone was ALWAYS going to WELCH on their bet if the markets move against them by too much. Heads, I win. Tails, the taxpayer loses and I still got FAT bonuses,

[mrbhave]

It's an illusion to think we have free markets in the first place. So long as government interferes, be in the form of direct bailouts or by creating unfair advantages such as tax write-offs (corporate welfare funded at the expense of taxpayers), the market is not "free."

[psbyowner]

the Federal Reserve has just got to GO

[pshinspections]

Won't happen as long as the masses of sheeple believe the tube. No way in hell.

[psbyowner]

Ron Paul: JFK and our lord Jesus Christ. Easy decision to make when choosing a side.

[GreenrushCapital]

Yay.  3 minutes with Ron Paul but 8 minutes about Anna Nicole Smith.

Madness!

[pretorious700]

Where do they get all of these bimbo broadcasters? Are they cloning them somewhere?

[Igor707]

This is cheap mainstream media propaganda and spreading of LIES by taking the words OUT OF CONTEXT! Why did Fox cut the words Dr. Paul said before? Dr. Ron Paul is NOT saying that capitalism is dead! On the contrary! He is saying that the problems occurred because the free market didn't exist/work. It is INTERFERENCE of the US federal government and FED that PREVENTED free market to work! Solution is LET the free-market work! Keep the US government and FED OUT of market! Don't let them INTERFERE

[pretorious700]

It's all catchphrases and soundbites now.

The average American doesn't want too much thought interfering with his news, you know.

[BeginLifeNow]

Typical spin from the mainstream media...

Like this woman did... they all mostly portionally quote what was said... to sell their misguided message.

[matt32539]

In the beginning she says Ron Paul says, "free market and capitalism isn't working" but that's not what he was saying. He said we don't have free markets or capitalism due to gov't interference.

[fjaos633]

Hyperinflation could start to hit in the second half of 2009 and we need to call all of our friends and family to try and convince them to get out of the Dollar before it collapses. I am telling everybody I know to check out: Inflation . us

[becauseicare2]

AIG=The Wizard of Oz

[wilsonspaulding]

Ron is exactly on the money. The next disaster which is only exacerbated by Obama's policies, is the collapse of the US dollar. When that happens all bets are off and we as a country will enter a new reality. And none of us are going to lke it.

[roddiero]

There's no way to prevent the collapse of the dollar at this point. The US is already bankrupt.

The plan is to get as much bang out of the last remnants of the dollar to invest in projects and science. They know it's done for.

If you knew the dollar could not be saved, and you had to invest in something, you'd try to invest in technology or science or something, to give yourself a future after it collapses. My guess is, again, this is what is going on, and China knows this.

[matt32539]

Yes, I believe that many countries are already calling for the dollar to be removed as the standard world currency. I think some news may come out of this G20 coming up.

[tickhound]

I remember when, not too long ago, Fox News marginalized Ron Paul more than the media on the left...

Clowns to the left of me,

Jokers to the right...

"It's the Fed, stupid"

Thx Dr. Paul, once again, for making perfect sense.

[Rizky06]

Fox News..(Murdoch is actually a Democrat) would be long gone if it weren't for Ron Paul, Glenn Beck and a few 'Eye Candy' reporters!
