10-9-2007, Ron Paul @ CNBC Republican Debate - Economics

[pigolf69]

They probably dont do these economic debates anymore because they know that it would hurt all the candidates except Ron Paul haha

[alCIAdadidit]

This is classic! One of the best debates! Ron Paul OWNED it! Oh how different the world would be now if he won in 2008. No Iran sanctions. no bailouts. No TARP. No NDAA. no SOPA. no TSA. No Libya. Bin laden would have been captured within a couple months. Dollar would be stable. Sound currency. People would have jobs. Occupy wall street would have never have had to happen. The federal reserve wouldnt have to keep printing more money. We'd have more liberties and freedoms... Let's hope America w

[2wheels88]

This is a message to all Paulites,please pass it on.Today 16th Nov 2011 Rand paul needs our help to sign a petition on passing a Balance the Budget Bill.Please google:- Balance the Budget Petition - RAND PAC . Spread this message like wildfire otherwise it will not be put through congress.Remember Obama has no say on this one it's totally up to congress and YOU !!! Spend 5 minutes copying and pasting this message if you want REAL change and sign the Petition yourself.

7:50

Matthews: Do you promise to support the Republican Nominee?

Ron Paul: Not unless they're willing to end the war and bring our troops home, and not unless they want to look at the excessive spending.

McCain: "You don't want me then pal." (laughs)

We were already at the "laugh at you stage in 2007-08".. I guess the ignore you stage was 1988-2007.... Only thing left to do is Win!

[mattykRonPaul2012]

Logic sending shockwaves.

[Lateralus8808]

Ron Paul just owns every fucking election. Those guys were nervous throughout that whole debate if you watch them. They spew bullshit answers and try to make the crowd laugh to get their votes while Ron Paul tells you what needs to be done. Luckily for the other candidates most people are ignorant. It's truely sad Paul wasn't elected in 2010 because he beat out everyone in the debates.

[jburke8491]

Whether your an anarchist or for true small gov't, you have to agree Ron Paul has courage and conviction in delivering his philosophy.

[Bahia82]

BTW the first person to push for a income tax was a Repub name Lincoln, but I guess the GREAT GENIUS RON PAUL knows better than all, but yet can't get 2 percent of 300 million people to even vote for him or join his campaign, and thinks its the MEDIAS faul, LOL, talk about lack of personal responsibility. some people like ron paul make great book writers and philosophers, but just because something looks good on paper or on a document has nothing to do with it actually working in reality!

[Sivels]

"live within our means" - obama should learn from Ron Paul

[Bahia82]

so funny is a democrat said these things, people would call him a socialist and say he hates the rich, so why do ron paul get away with saying these things, obama has been saying this for damn near 2 years and he gets attacked on every financial show for it

[danbowski40]

Oh My GOD are you that clueless? Obama doesn't know the first thing about ECONOMICS! If he did he would ABOLISH the Federal Reserve! He is a Corporate Puppet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

RON PAUL'S CAMPAIGN FOR LIBERTY!!!!!!!!

[Claytrainor]

wow... you actually think what Obama and Ron Paul are saying is similar?

Please, be specific and provide exact examples of similarities in Ron Paul and Obama's economic philosophy?

[MethMojimbo]

Dr.Paul has been saying what he's been saying for over 25 years. Obama was what? 22 yrs old at the time. He is a socialist, he believes that the government has the right to steal from people. Paul doesn't, he believes in true freedom and liberty, especially on an economic level. Typically, through history, socialism leads to despotism and financial ruin. In other words, America is going to see some very dark times ahead and even darker still, should the socialistic trends remain unaltered.

[Zerza02]

''He is a socialist, he believes that the government has the right to steal from people. Paul doesn't, he believes in true freedom and liberty, especially on an economic level.''

If you ask an anarcho-capitalist, Paul sure to hell believe in stealing from people, he is not for an *entirely* free market either.

Now, at what tax rate does ''economic freedom'' suddenly switch over to ''socialism'', or are you just throwing out labels without having a clue what you're talking about?

[Sivels]

Well that depends if you want the government to have an army... I personally would be ok with that as long as the citizenz also are allowed to be armed...

[yourboyken]

Kucinich said it and he is a Democrat and he got away with it and also got more popular! Ron Paul is Right and you are wrong sir.

[Betty5150]

You're a moron. He's talking about the federal reserver transferring the wealth to there buddies. When democrats talk about the Rich, they would tax them for being rich. And in there mind, when someone is getting rich, someone else is getting poor, which is completely false in a capitalist nation, which we are not. It is true, when someone get's rich, someone get's poor, and that only happens in fascism.

[Bahia82]

yea yea I am a moron and you being a ron paul fan makes you a genius, because you've served on the Federal reserve board? because your amember of congress? because you have a phd in economics? No. so please stop with your high and mighty attacks, which began with a stupid childish insult what are you in the 4th grade?

[Betty5150]

Sorry for calling you a moron. I mean, that's the only sort of childish attack I had in there. I'll admit I shouldn't have said it.

Secondly, I am not a Ron Paul fan. I agree with him on almost every issue, but remember, he is a politician. And I've learned, you can't trust any of them. Again, you didn't address the facts I gave you, but instead focused on my saying once, you're a moron.

And no, I don't think I'm higher and mightier then you, because I have a different opinion.

[hrdman2luv]

We were warned......The GOP has been warned... And now, after the GOP has shunned the only man who could have beaten Obama, we will all suffer for it. Remember, Obama voted for the patriot act re-authorization. Voted to give bush more money for Iraq (twice). Voted for Homeland. Voted for McCain's 20 million illegal aliean amnesty bill.

Recessions lead to depressions without proper leadership.

We were all warned.

[bobakpa21]

just remember he told ya so when where in a depression

[bigsexywzp]

He didn't say "We're in a depression". He said that "This country IS in the middle of a recession, for a lot of people."

In other words, we're not in a FULL recession, but there are people being hurt as they would in a full recession.

[TheShock3r]

teh people who get the money first always benefit.

wall street

military industrial complex

by the time new money gets to the average joe prices will make it useless. now they trying to give us free money

[kokeshififi]

the tide is finally turning america thank you, someone who believes in your constitution instead of selfish individualism and corporatism, there is hope for all, and hopefully americans will show the rest of the world by setting an example :-)

[cmoleon]

is ron paul the only grown up human being in that discussion?

[BigDaddyDJD]

@cmoleon Jack Caffertys file on CNN today was "Is Ron Paul the only adult running?"

[cityview1989]

Can you believe Huckabee is ahead of Ron Paul. Vote for Ron Paul here

news.aol. com/elections

[shanklinmike]

No, the president is suppose to protect the constitution and the people's liberty. This means defense, not PRE-emptive strikes on a country that doesn't even harbor a high percentage of the terrorists! Did the neo-cons forget about Bin Laden? Why do we need to go to war with countries when this has nothing to do with truly hunting down true terrorists!

[dumba55nsf]

wow, a politician who actually understands some economics

[wazntfuzy]

Have you noticed how rude and UN-presidential Rudy is with his comments and laughing when other candidates are speaking? Then, what about his last comment at the very end about the war and bringing the troops home? No way should he be president.

[jivillasenor]

The ONLY Republican worth listening to.

[stodles]

Why the hell do they have Chris Matthews doing things?

Good answer on fiat.

Ooooh wrong answer on Dubai.

He's saying some unpopular things about "living beyond our means"

I'd feel better if he was willing to paste Iran from the air if they tried to make nukes.

[cqyuesefu]

so you'd also feel better if our country would get pasted for having nukes and being a christian crusading megaplex? why do you fear Iran? why do you fear anyone? they sure as hell don't fear us and we're ten times stronger than them.

[NWKklown]

"this is just war propaganda"

drop those bombs, Congressman Dr. Paul.

[doubleaamazin]

Vote for Mike Gravel and the National Initiative that will give the Power to the People. Cast your vote now to give the Power to the People at ni4d dot com

[SpySlowhands]

Yes, he could beat Hillary. He's breathtaking to lisen to, is against these stupid wars, against the Patriot Act.

[JackNeedles]

Ron Paul is the ONLY republican who will and can win. Why? Because he is the ONLY anti-war candidate who can beat Hillary, who is now for the war in Iran( so is Oboma, Romney, and Rudy). Americans aren't going to vote for another pro-war neocon like Fred Tomson, Mitt Romney, or Rudy Giuliani. Ron Paul is our only hope to put America back on track, folks.

[CactusAttackedUs]

By God I wish this were true!

[mindurbuisiness]

ha ha LMFAO why do you need to talk to a lawyer jerkweed just open the constitution and read it!!!! slam dunk RON PAUL 08!!!!

[bjm9282]

This man is just incredible! He will be getting my vote in the primaries and general election...And I'm a Democrat.

RON PAUL 2008!!!

[jjdollbuggy]

Donate as much as you can to Ron Paul the only candidate that speaks the truth. I'm donating $100 a month. If you can let's show this Liberal News Media they can't keep an honest man from becoming President. We need Ron Paul for President or this country is doomed.

[turbobrain]

I'm up to $600 so far, consider it an investment and being part of history!

[ronpaul4america]

If you like him and you are a democrat or independent you should register republican. He will do more for peace than Obama or Clinton who are bought and paid for.

[scwilder1]

This guy is so refreshing. I'm a Democrat....but I would totally vote for him over Obama or Clinton.

[bandog87]

im democrat to, but this guy has my vote.

[artemas33]

then do it. You owe nothing to a party, but everything to your country. Vote Ron Paul.

Want change? DO SOMETHING!

[joebholla]

i like to think of myself as a democrat. but i got to say- ron paul is extremely impressive. i could see myself voting for a republican if he wins the nomination.

[tru2daflu]

rudy loves him some 9/11 war propaganda.

[LockeFighter]

If you're a Ron Paul supporter, please try not to insult or attack them the same way they do to you and many other Ron Paul supporters. By them I mean people who TRY to make Ron Paul sound crazy. Take the higher ground =).

[cannuckistan]

I've just made a contribution of my suddenly valuable canuck bucks to the campaign of Dr. Paul. If he were able to implement his economic policy, the $US price of gold would drop, and the Dow would go through the roof. Sound money always brings a strong economy...the price of gold hovered around 250.00 in 80s/90s when the Dow rose 10 times!! Dr. Paul is totally right on this.

[EVOKIN]

All candidates got schooled by a Real True American.

Vote Ron Paul 2008

[ski007mw]

Ron Paul is talking about the War of 1812. (190 years). I guess you're a complete moron about history. Hawaii is not mainland US, and in WW2 it was a territory. It became a US State on Aug 21, 1959. Now tell me who the fucking dumbass is !!

[JoeTube27]

He talks about changing the monetary system, how about talking about the other option to the FED. Someone talk about the opposition. You can talk about it for so long until you need an answer.

[maximhuss]

Also the first step in getting him elected is getting him the nomination. And you can't vote in the primaries if you are not registered as a Republican. So take a couple seconds to find out what you need to do to get that done. If we can't see throught the media smokescreen and get this honest guy Ron Paul elected, maybe we don't deserve our liberty anymore.

[Juggaloserialeater]

an emminent attack in 290 years????? hes a tard dosent he remeber pearl harbor

[ski007mw]

Pearl Harbor was known about by FDR and his cousin Freemason buddy Winston Churchill...they wanted the US in the war. Bush's grandfather Prescott Bush was funding the Nazis, and Standard Oil (Rockefeller) was supplying Nazi warships with refined fuels.... you apparently are the retard who doesn't know the real history of these wars, thats why you're easy to manipulate today.

[Juggaloserialeater]

Japan a country attacked Pearl Harbor and it was less then what he said..bottom line

[ski007mw]

I am sure you just don't know much about the Freemasons, or the Rothschild banking cartel in Europe. Do yourself a favor. Go to DC, and cross the river to Alexandria, VA. Go tour the George Washington Masonic Memorial and go into the Great Hall and Auditorium and check out how many Presidents were in that Lodge started by GW. That is lesson plan 1 for you.

[ski007mw]

Ron Paul is talking about the War of 1812. (190 years). I guess you're a complete moron about history. Hawaii is not mainland US, and in WW2 it was a territory. It became a US State on Aug 21, 1959. Now tell me who the fucking dumbass is !!

[odessaboy]

Hawaii is not in the mainland us, but the Japanese didn't attack Hawaii; they attacked Pearl Harbor, a United States Naval Base and therefore sovereign territory of the United States of America. Why are you calling people dumbasses?

[ski007mw]

HEY MORON. JUST SO YOU CAN CORRECT YOURSELF :

Ron Paul is talking about the War of 1812. (190 years). I guess you're a complete moron about history. Hawaii is not mainland US, and in WW2 it was a territory. It became a US State on Aug 21, 1959. DUMBASS !!

[Juggaloserialeater]

Okay, no need to call me a dumb ass, or insult me..i may have been wrong no reason to throw a fit and start throwing out insults..jesus christ..

[thebigt82]

Thompson: dumb-fuck talking potato on a stick

Brownback: FAMILY GOOD. GOOD ME FAMILY STRONG.

McCain: What happened to him?

Huckabee: His names kinda fun to say...

Giuliani: *cough*crook*cough*

RON PAUL: Our kick-ass future president

[troyborresen]

I'd take a bullet for this man! Ron Paul for President. Spread the word! I've never had interest in politic until now, this guy is the real deal. Do it for the future, do it for your kids!!!!

[ski007mw]

Put your money where your mouth is alongside the rest of us... DONATE. Go to his website and pledge $200.00. I do it every quarter. Join the revolution. Its not RON PAUL who is creating this revolution...this is America.. We don't want HiloBama and we don't want these other crooks, but we must fund this campaign to restore the Republic, by donating to Paul's campaign and spreading the word.

[itsmesunny]

Romney's response to consult with his lawyers is absolutely unbelievable! absolutely unbelievable. This guy outghtta be tarred and feathered and deported.

Go get em doc! they cannot touch you with a 10' pole.

[Nuumind]

* Also, say "NO!" to Electronic Voting Machines, they can be hacked into! *

[rodeobadger]

CNBC posted a letter 3 hours ago as to why they pulled the poll it's because of all us Ron Paul hackers check it out.

[tedkuhlmann]

did you guys watch this debate? 1st off, they put Paul all the way @ the end and put the 'favorites' in the middle. 2nd...they asked the 'favorites' most of the questions while Paul got the least airtime of all the candidates! Ridiculous BS!! GO RON PAUL IN 2008!!!!

[vanhalenkid]

Wow, guiliani sad 9/11 again....

[MyFurryAss]

go Ron Paul...

[niginit]

wow paul just put them all in their place. giuliani got to say sept. 11th again and good ole mitt sounded like a complete idiot!

good one with the UM UM consult a lawyer, sry but anyone running for pres that suggests a lawyer for a moral solution is a fucking CRoOked piece of crap!

[blueyellow20002000]

Wow, that was amazing when he mentioned the illogic behind Romney's assumption that Bush should consult with lawyers in order to justify his possible foreign/war policy with Iran. My God..is Romney really serious with that answer? Talk to lawyers???

[jmahuron]

Too bad half of America doesn't have the logic or the intellect to understand what Ron Paul is trying to say.

[sentencing]

All the candidates intelligence put together are still a little behind Ron Paul.

[joncgsxr]

That about sums it up. This guy makes so much sense, crazy that they only give him 7 or so minutes of 2 hrs. What a disgrace. Shame on you CNBC. He is the only TRUE STATESMAN he is not a politician. This guy is the real deal. Check out his consistent voting record. He is the last hope for this republic.

[CorruptCom]

God I love this man.

You are looking at our next president.

Remember the primaries - change your party affilition if required and vote Ron Paul

Republician For President in your states primary.

[djdedeo0]

This guy is a political genius up against these people.
