  • this is opinionated for a mormon

  • Comment removed

  • 0:32 - emphasis on 'base'

  • Ron Paul and Jesse Ventura 2012 !!!  (shit, why not?)

  • @1livingdeadgrl Jesse Ventura, I like him. However, Ron Paul is a puppet working for the corporations.

  • @syzygy502 do you ever watch that show of his called "Conspiracy Theories" ? (or something to that effect) he has some interesting things to say on there. :-)

  • @1livingdeadgrl Do you mean Ron Paul or Jesse Ventura?

  • @syzygy502 Jesse Ventura,  I watched quite a few here youtube pretty interesting stuff going on in the world that we don't hear about.

  • @1livingdeadgrl Very true, I would not be surprised by the theories being true.

  • @syzygy502 You kidding me? Ron Paul does not get any corporate donations unlike Romney and Perry. That says a lot. Please learn more about him.

  • @naveclipsys Ron Paul has taken 400 billion dollars in corporate donations.

  • @syzygy502 Wahahahahaha, I can't help but find your comments and read them. You are absolutely hilarious. Yes...Ron Paul received 400 billion in corporate donations. Yes, that's true. It's not in any way a complete fabrication. Lol! If there weren't so many eligible voters as stupid as you, it would be even funnier. Unfortunately, I don't even think you're the most idiotic of the citizens that vote, which is saying something serious about them.

  • @syzygy502 ... $400 billion in donations? LOL

  • she's too crazy... even for the mormon lol

  • "Christian intellectual conservatives" LOL, oxymoron if i've ever seen one

  • @wakawl I respect your enthusiasm, if only more people had such passion for democracy. Got some sad news for ya though. Ron Paul IS a republican. And he can talk a good game to convince you hes something hes not. Hes a statesman, and a politician. Why vote for another politician? What exactly would you call someone who runs for a political office? Like a congressman from texas? A politician.

  • @wakawl flat out lies? nah, I jsut do research and know how to read, like when I researched the founding of the tea party(a libertarian lobby group btw) I found a funny name i thought, but ITs a fact, Ron Paul helped to found The Tea Party movement. Obama said hed bring the troops home too, its called politics. If Ron Paul is a republican, then hes a republican, if hes a libertarian, and wants change, he's sold out to further his career. Read up on the Tea Party.

  • "ultra-right wing repubican" that just shows that you know didley squat about Ron Paul. Why don't you open a dictionary and look up "libertarian" ya ignorant moron. You call his ideas "crackpot" that just shows you are totally clueless about the issues. Just stfu already, you just sound more and more stupid every time you speak.

  • @Nakor420ish its sad that you cant make an argument without swearing or getting angry. Libertarian is NOT what Ron Paul actually is, he believes in liberty for all, but then says he wants to repeal the civil rights act? Hes a two faced liar is what he is, just like every other politician.

  • Is very sad to know that some americans don't know that irs is inconstitutional. irs is not in the constitution.Ron Paul is basically showing you the facts. hum...i would love those 300 dollars extra in my pay check. so lovely.

  • @wakawl lmao Ron paul is very much a politician. Just remember a vote for Ron Paul may seem like a vote for change, but what ron paul is, is a card carrying founding member of the tea party. Who want to strip voting privaleges from everyone but landowners, and somehow reduce all taxes to 5% and somehow still pay for the US war machine. Good luck with a ron paul campaign, assuming he lives long enough to survive it, guys frail and old, would be the oldest president in US history lol.

  • @howlingwolf8 Nothing you just said is true.

  • @Nakor420ish look it up dude. Ron Paul is a founding member of the tea party, its a fact. so is all the policies stated there. go to ron pauls website too. the tea party stands for all of that.

  • @howlingwolf8 Dude, I've been supporting and following Ron Paul for years. YES, his message started the tea party, but the tea party left Ron Paul. It's all neo-cons now. It's been hijacked, and Ron Paul doesn't represent them anymore. That whole landowner voting thing you mentioned is rubbish. I've seen every interview with him and he has never said anything like that. You claim he "still wants to pay for the war machine" but he's said over and over that he wants to END the military empire...

  • @Nakor420ish I will admit I respect some of what Ron Paul has to say. Of late he seems to be the only Republican(dont forget he is a republican) that seems to speak without having to shove his foot right in his mouth immediately afterwards. He seems to be an eloquent and intelligent man, which seems incredibly lacking in politics of late. Problem is that he IS a republican and is bound by the system that his party is behind...../

  • @Nakor420ish he IS a libertarian, and supports eliminating minimum wage(WHY?) He does support removing government regulations on businesses, trusting that in a free market economy, only ethical people will run and own businesses, and treat their workers ethically and likewise the environment. I respect his idealism, however, people that run big business are NOT innately ethical, in fact most are the opposite. If anything, MORE taxation and regulation on corporations is needed.

  • @howlingwolf8 You can't shackle businesses because someone MIGHT break the law. If someone breaks the law, they go to jail, end of story. Free markets work. Free markets are what made America rich to begin with, wtf are you talking about?!

  • @Nakor420ish free markets work? It has actually been VERY apparent that pure free market economy doesnt work. If someone breaks the law they go to jail? Not if there isnt a law to govern his behavior. Free Markets are what plunged america into financial crisis of late. What doesnt work is unfettered business. The US HAD unfettered business, then those businesses abused that, and abused its workers, and the environment. Free market doesnt work, at least not in its pure form.

  • @howlingwolf8 Dude., I was done talking to you but I have to comment on this because everything you say seems to reflect the exact OPPOSITE of reality. We havn't had a true free market since the 1800's You can't blame a system we don't even use on our current finacial crisis. This system is corporatism, not capitalism. Noone alive in this country has ever even SEEN a pure free market. I'm done waiting time with you. Go vote for fucking Romney or Obama or whoever you want. sheep boy.

  • @Nakor420ish Ive heard Ron Paul refer to new isms he makes up all the time. Keynesianism, and Corporateism, its funny, hes the only one to use those terms. Corporations are a product of a free market. Paul decided to abandon his principles and run for the leadership of the party responsible for all the things he claims hes against. It is moot anyway. Perry is leading the GOP polls, and Paul barely blips the radar, so unless he runs third party or independant, he wont even have a campaign.

  • @Nakor420ish frankly I understand your desire for change, and if ron paul is what you think will bring that change, support him all you want. but all your wanting wont give him a campaign. Its not like you will be able to vote for him if hes not even running. as it stands now, he has to win the GOP nomination, and hes just not doing that. You dont just get to pick which one you want to vote for, only one of the GOP candidates will be running for prez. Paul is just not winning republicans.

  • @howlingwolf8 He didn't MAKE those terms up you moron! just shut up already. Yes he is winning republican votes, why do you think he went from "the crazy kook" to what fox disinformation channel now calls a "top teir candidate"? If FOX will accept him at this point, you can bet he's doing a LOT better than they let on. He's not winning YOU over because you are a moron. It's that simple. Now fuck off, cause I'm not talking to you anymore.

  • @Nakor420ish Keynesianism" yeah ron paul coined that term, there is no such "ism" Corporateism is just a semantic way of glossing over the dangers of capitalism unfettered. You are an angry guy, and it seems that like the rest of the christian right, you are unable to see whats in front of you. Why be bothered with facts when you have Ron Paul's rhetoric to contest with?

  • @Nakor420ish LMAO, you went to Fox news for your information? That explains a lot. Fox news can call Ron Paul a "top tier candidate" but the reality is this, perry is sitting at 29% in the polling, with romney close behind at 14%, Coming in third (I dont get this) is bachman at 12%, Ron paul simply is not winning in the polls, no matter how loud his followers are, the message is just not resonating with the actual republican voters.

  • @howlingwolf8 I just called them fox DISINFORMATION channel. Why would I call them "fox disinformation channel" if I got my news from them? Fucking idiot, obviously critical reading isn't your strong suite. For someone who doesn't trust FOX, you sure are quick to post the same faulty poll that they have all over their channels. Ron Paul IS the real front runner. No amount of lies and propaganda is going to change that fact.

  • @Nakor420ish front runner? really? Funny that the actual electoral statistics do not support that idea. I respect that you support your candidate, but you don't even know the man for what he is. A hypocrite. The man wants to repeal the civil rights act. No its not the same thing as affirmative action, its the law that eliminated segregation. Think segregation is a good idea? No? Well ron paul does. He blasts earmarks, then earmarks money for his own district, Hypocrite.

  • @Nakor420ish suppose you could just go to Alex Jones for his paranoid take on things. There's a reliable source. Perry is a frontrunner with more than twice the support that paul has. I suppose there is plenty of time for things to change. Its funny. you republicans (a vote for paul is a vote for his party) talk about how only a republican can fix things(in this case ron paul) yet its almost always the republicans causing the mess in the first place. Why trust the ones that made the mess?

  • @Nakor420ish Its not the opposite of reality, just the opposite of what your delusions. Free market is the cornerstone of the American greed machine. Free market is what led to the crisis whether you want to believe it or not. Greed drives capitalism, capitalism drove the financial downfall. IT wasnt regulations that caused it as Paul claims. IT was greedy bankers preying on the middle class, giving out toxic loans. Lack of regulation would simply have made it easier for them to do it.

  • @Nakor420ish "You can't shackle businesses because someone MIGHT break the law. If someone breaks the law, they go to jail, end of story." Hmm, those "shackles" are the Law, and without those shackles, there is no law with which to punish said lawbreakers. The laws are in place to protect those without the power of a huge corporation behind them, from the unscrupulous businesses that only seek to make wealth off the backs of the hard working.

  • @howlingwolf8 Honestly, I'm not waisting any more time on you, your ideas are fucking backwards as shit, and nothing you claim about Ron Paul is true. Stop spreading dis-information you asshole. Ron Paul is the last chance this country has to regain it's freedom, and people like you are standing in the way. FUCK OFF!

  • @Nakor420ish Really? an Ultra right wing republican is the messiah? You really are fooled. He says some wonderful things, and has some great ideas, also some really odd ideas, but its not like any of his crackpot ideas could ever pass into legislation anyway. You clearly dont have a clue how little power a president actually has. In order for him to even have a shot at the oval office he needs to have a party behind him, and he wont have his party if he doesn't tow the line.

  • @Nakor420ish and if you truly disagree with my take on Paul's positions, actually watch the interviews hes done. He does have some good ideas, but those things I mentioned are some of the more crackpot things him and his Tea Party have endorsed. I realize hes about more than those things, but those things should be enough to make a person realize that Paul is just as much a politician and Teabagger as Bachman or Romney.

  • @howlingwolf8 Dude, I have seen EVERY interview he has ever done. I've been a libertarian for years, you are WRONG. Stop spreading lies about Ron Paul. He's the only candidate that gives a crap about the american people. He's fighting for YOUR civil liberties, and you are fighting against him. Wake up

  • @Nakor420ish Really? And here I was thinking I had civil liberties. And the knowledge that Ron Paul is a republican. That a lie? Nope. That he helped found the Tea Party and has yet to make any real indication that he has distanced himself from that movement. And the system that the US uses for elections (It needs to be fixed) is completely guided by the Electoral college. This system all but eliminates any chance of a non partisan president. And being a rogue rarely impresses republicans

  • @howlingwolf8 He's only running as a republican because the two times he ran as a libertarian, he spent most of his money trying to get onto ballots and into debates. Of course you would know that if you actually payed any attention to the man instead of taking your opinion on him from the corporate media. You think you still have your civil liberties? read the patriot act. Look up US supreme court decision Kentucky vs King. They don't even need a warrent to kick your door in and arrest you now.

  • @Nakor420ish I realize the patriot act changed things significantly. And the Republicans are the architecht of said Act. Curious, if Paul is so opposed to violations of civil liberty, why run behind the party that designed the current attack on liberty? You realize that the Electoral college makes it the next thing to impossible for a non partisan or third party candidate to stand a chance in an election. Its how bush stole the 2nd term.

  • @Nakor420ish now I understand on the surface, Libertarianism looks great. No laws, companies operating without government oversight. No Building codes, labour laws, pure free market economy. Its paradise right? What about those on the bottom, the ones breaking their necks to build said paradise? When theres no law to prevent companies from polluting. Do you really think that corporations will just treat and pay workers well if they dont have to?

  • Comment removed

  • @Nakor420ish and the 5 % flat tax? Sounds great dont it? I would love to only pay such a small amount to the government, but there is a tiny problem with that. See when my house is broken into, I like knowing that I can call police to come and help. I like knowing that I can call an ambulance if I have an emergency, and if I serve my country, I like knowing that they can afford to take care of my medical needs should I be severely hurt in the line of duty..../

  • @howlingwolf8 Yeah, the republican NEO-CONS desighned the patriot act, but Obama extended it and actually STRENGTHENED it. as for your question, he's not a REAL republican, he's only running on the ticket because it's easier. BTW, all those civil services you say you like so much have nothing to do with federal taxes, those are state services. People act like Ron Paul wants to just "get rid" of all these things, but in reality, those powers belong to the STATES, and that's the whole point.

  • @Nakor420ish So you advocate breaking all the states into little autonomous land masses? Thats an odd idea to promote unity of one country. Yes many of those things are run by the state, so you say hes set to reduce the federal tax to 5% and allow the states to tax as they see fit? oh I see, so its about passing the buck down, okay, that sounds so much better. Suppose a dozen or so little state-countries is better than one united nation.

  • @howlingwolf8 YES, the states are SUPPOSED to be semi-autonomous. That's how the system was set up, and that's what made America great to begin with. So what's so strange about running our country the way we were meant to by law? It's not about "passing the buck down" It's about limiting the federal governments power over the states. The states are supposed to control the federal government, not the other way around.

  • @Nakor420ish great to begin with? You mean great like the civil war? The reason it isnt like that anymore is because IT DIDNT WORK!. Going back in time isnt going to change that. You cant jsut go back a century and try to get a do over. LEarn from history and change things progressively, not backwards to something that already failed.

  • @howlingwolf8 What?! Dude, all this unconstitutional crap got started in the 1930's. and slowing in small incriments took us to where we are now. You obviously don't know political history either. And yes, the president has the power. It's called executive orders. You think congress has power right now? Then why has every president since JFK gotten away with trampling our constitution in one way or another?

  • @Nakor420ish Ron Paul cares too much about this country to waist a third campaign on a third party ticket. He needs to win for the countries sake, and he knows it. That's why he's joined the GOP. Dude, it's not going "backwards" when all you are doing is restoring the LAW.

  • @Nakor420ish restoring the law? didnt know the law had been scrapped. I think you have a bit too much faith in an old idealistic man. REstore to what? original constitution minus the amendments? Sounds great. Does that mean I can go buy a slave? Theres a reason things changed, because things werent great back then, nor were they in the 50s the libertarians yearn for so much.

  • @Nakor420ish The system is set up to prevent one branch of government from dominating another, to prevent one person from having that kind of power. Thats what they call checks and balances. There is a method in place for challenging a law as unconstitutional, the Supreme Court. Those guys love to make the news. President is bound by bureacracy, and by the limits of his position. theres a reason bush ASKED congress to approve Iraq, because they control the money, thats the system.

  • @howlingwolf8 Dude, the whole point is that the system is broken and the checks and balances aren't working. Laws have been passed giving the president sweeping executive powers. Have you forgotten the Bush presidency? He made himself "the decider" remember? Obama has only expanded the executive powers. Look at Kentucky vs King, the judiciary isn't doing it's job either. You have blind faith in your government, and they are leading you to the fire.

  • @Nakor420ish lol no I do not have blind faith in the government. I question everything the goverment does, and I totally support the abolishment of the Electoral college, and the current electoral system for presidential elections. I mean by rights, bush lost the 2nd election, if you go straight to counting votes. Popular vote was totally aginst him, but I digress. I did ask you what exactly has Obama done legislatively to entrench his powers? You make the claim, what exactly did he do?

  • @Nakor420ish See you dont get to pass the buck here. The Patriot Act was a republican notion, a republican bill, and while a small contingent of "neo-cons" may have drafted it, the party as a whole endorsed it. Throwing your hat in the ring with the party that created that mess doesnt make you a champion against that bill lol, it makes you a collaborator. Ron Paul may have gone Republican for the chance for the nod, but that jsut tells me that he sells out way too easily to be a real leader.

  • @howlingwolf8 Dude, almost nobody in congress READ the patriot act before endorsing it first of all, second of all, Ron Paul DID read it and voted AGAINST it, BOTH times. Ron Paul has a PERFECT 30 year voting record, and has NEVER compromised his libertarian principles. You calling him a "sellout" is just another example of how you know absolutely NOTHING about Ron Paul, his message OR his views.

  • @Nakor420ish Ron Paul is a card carrying REpublican. If he really believed in those principles and wasnt a sellout, he would have fought as a third party, like he tried before with the libertarian party, and championed their cause as an alternative to the same old politics, even get some candidates elected as libertarians to start having a say.

  • @Nakor420ish In Canada about 20ish years ago, there were 3 parties federally. Progressive Conservative, New Democrat and Liberal. A group of right oriented people formed an alternative party. Read up on Preston Manning. He fought to earn his reform party a seat at the table, and got it. Eventually the right parties merged, (PC and REform) and formed what is the Conservative party today with their leader as prime minister.........../cont

  • @howlingwolf8 Yeah, well this isn't Canada 20 years ago, this is the USA in 2011, and the world is on fire. Wake up dude, nothing you've said in all these hours of yakking has made any sense, and pretty much everything you've said about Ron Paul doesn't even APPLY to Ron Paul.

  • @Nakor420ish Everything Ive said is from Ron Paul's own lips or fingers. Getting the GOP nomination, means catering to the GOP, and binding his hands in bureaucracy in order to maintain his GOP status, since he doesnt do that fullheartedly, I doubt he will get the nomination, lol considering GOP history, the dumbest person usually wins the nod, so its probably between romney or bachman lol. The point is change doesnt happen by playing the same moves over and again, thats what paul's been doing

  • @Nakor420ish the point in bringing up the REform party of Canada was to illustrate that if people truly want to change things, following the same old parties of yesteryear instead of forging a path for a new party to force that change to happen, isnt going to change anything. Even if he won the GOP nod (doubtful) He needs more than the limited power of the oval office in order to do so. He would need like minded congressmen and senators to push that change, that means third party candidates.

  • @howlingwolf8 ..../ if Ron Paul really champions this change instead of the same old thing, thats what he shoudl do. Form a party. Run candidates of like mind in as many districts as he can. and subsequently when the party is getting recognized, he runs a campaign for presidency. I can already predict, on the current path, Ron Paul will not be the next president, unless he gets the republican nod. That is unlikely to happen unless he champions republican ideals.

  • @howlingwolf8 Dude, he did that twice already. He needs to WIN this time, and getting the GOP nomination is the best way to do that. It doesn't matter what ticket he is on, what matters is his vision for the country.

  • Even as a republican president, he's not gonna appoint any of those neo-cons scumbags to his cabinet.

  • @Nakor420ish that would be great, but thats not how politics works. He wont have the backing of his party should he not make concessions, its unfortunate, but its the way the game is played. I doubt ron paul will win the republican nod anyway. I mean lol they had palin in the limelight last time. They chose McCain as a harmless choice to take the brunt of the Bush backlash, in order to make way for a new leader, Dunno who that will be yet, but Im sure it wont be Paul.

  • @Nakor420ish I am curious about one thing. You say obama strengthened the patriot act. This is a new one for me Ill admit. What legislation did he propose to "enhance" said act? And if so, does congress not bear some of the blame for ratifying such a bill?

  • @howlingwolf8 I meant to say he extended it longer than republicans wanted to. and yes, congress had a role in it as well. Our whole government is full of corporate yes men, and Ron Paul is the only candidate that isn't bought and payed for. That's why the establishment hates him on both sides of the isle. He's the one honest politician in washington. Read a book called "The Creature from Jeckyll Island" and you will have AMPLE reason to vote for Ron Paul.

  • @Nakor420ish I respect the man as honest, but you cant pretend like he isnt one of those yes men. He had a movement to make a real change in US politics.  unfortunately he saw the monster that the electoral process is. and instead of pioneering bills to reform the process, he capitulates and embraces the party that is against most of what he says he stands for. Im sorry if you want change, real change, you need a candidate with the courage to put his career on the line to stand up.

  • @howlingwolf8 Are you kidding me?! Ron Paul puts his career on the line every time he speaks. You obviously have NOT been paying attention to this eclection cycle, and I honestly think you are just trolling at this point. You seriously just said Ron Paul put his career on the line to stand up for change?! SERIOUSLY?! lol, I'm done with you dude. You are rediculous. Go learn about the federal reserve, and learn what Ron Paul is doing, you are just saying the most absurd bullshit at this point.

  • @Nakor420ish Like I said before, if you actually took the crazy hat off for a second and read it, I do agree with some of the things he says, but if he TRULY put his career on the line, hed be in front of these issues. He would draft bills to LEAD the way for change, not just sit back and vote his ideals. He would run as a Libertarian instead of joining the party responsible for most of the things he opposes. Ron Paul isnt DOING anything, he occasionally says his piece, then sits back and votes.

  • Seriously dude, I don't think we are even talking about the same guy. 

  • @howlingwolf8 You said he DOESN'T put his career on the line to stand up. sorry, was a typo last post. Yeah man, that is rediculous. You don't even know what you are saying.

  • @Nakor420ish if he was really putting his political career on the line, why join the republican party if he doesnt hold with their ideals? If he joined a political party and doesnt hold with their ideals, hes either using them to further his political career, or he is acknowledging that his cause isnt strong enough to stand on its own. If he isnt in line with today's tea party, then he should to say so, publicly, which he doesnt. Either scenario makes him the same as every other politician.

  • @howlingwolf8 You could NOT be further from the truth.

  • @Nakor420ish You are simply too blinded by hope in this man to actually DO any of the pipe dreams that he claims he can. 1. The Tea Party claims Ron Paul as one of its founders. 2. The Tea Party and Paul both refer to themselves as Libertarian. 3. Ron Paul claims to be against the current electoral system, but instead of using his current post to promote change, he sits back and votes, without presenting progressive bills. 4. He is a republican, and runs as a republican all facts

  • @Nakor420ish Perhaps if Ron Paul ran as a third candidate not affiliated with either of the parties that are culprit for the mess that the US was in, Yeah I may vote Paul. If he wasnt REpublican. Right now he is republican, thus compromising his ideals. HE is catering to the REpublicans in order to win the nod, so he actually gets to run as republican for president. If he really was such a leader, hed be leading a new party, one that might actually be able to change things.

  • @Nakor420ish /..How does the government afford things like Defense and Justice, and say Veterans Affairs, wheres the money come from if the funds are limited to 1/5 of what they are now? How bout paying off that ridiculous debt? Think that can be done without raising taxes? its not just about balancing a budget, its about having enough surplus to pay the debt down without hurting the country to do it. Im sure deep Health care and education cuts arent going to hurt americans, nah.

  • @howlingwolf8 Nothing you said jives with anything Ron Paul says, you need to get your facts straight.

  • @howlingwolf8 Seriously, show me where he said he wants to strip people of their voting rights. You can't cause Ron Paul would never do something like that. He stands for the constitution and the bill of rights, why the fuck would he do something so obviously unconstitutional and illegal?

  • @Nakor420ish read all the information about his lobby group, the Tea Party, and what they stand for. He himself says he wants to have the constitution restored to its original text, meaning pre amendment state. The Tea Party stands up for the original text, (which states clearly only landowners can vote) but thats a minor one of their beliefs. He stands for LIBERTARIANISM, meaning, no laws govenrning business (no minimum wage, labour codes, or environmental laws)...../..

  • @howlingwolf8 uhh, wrong again, Ron Paul only wants to get rid of the 14th amendment. Stop getting your info from third party sources dude, they are stearing you wrong.

  • @Nakor420ish and 5% tax, yeah he stands for that, as well as endorsing Christianity as an official religion (Treaty of Tripoli clearly states the US is NOT a christian country). If you think a die hard conservative christian is gonna champion the legalized marijuana movement(a cause I support) you are confused. I have seen what he says to reporters when asked that question. He evades (typical tea party) and gives a non committal answer. besides hed never with the rep. nod with that stance.

  • @howlingwolf8 DUDE, there are MASSES of interviews right here on you tube where he says he wouls legalize marijauna! He even introduced a bill with Barney Frank to end the federal ban on it already. Ron Paul also has stated many times his firm beliefe in the seperation of church and state. You have Ron Paul confused with someone else or something, cause you are claiming he supports the exact opposite of everything he stands for.

  • @Nakor420ish oh and shrinking the "government by 50%" explain this one to me, cause I fail to see how putting that many people on the unemployment line better serves the common good. I agree that government overspends. I agree that the current tax scheme is ridiculous. but a 5% blanket tax? the us is about to go bankrupt and he would eliminate the only real source of money to pay the bills? Im confused, how do you pay off the trillions you owe, if you have limited money coming in?

  • @Nakor420ish oh what else, oh yeah Trickle down economics. Wonderful right wing idea. Give money to businesses to keep them afloat, and tax breaks in an effort to encourage job growth. Great idea in theory, problem is that Corporations are inherently unethical by their vary nature. They take that money and gie bonuses to their executives. They open factories in india. The Ceo gets a really sweet retirement. Free Market at its purest.

  • @howlingwolf8 OMFG, Ron Paul would NEVER "give money to businesses" lol, wtf. The government affords things by cutting spending. We wouldn't NEED all these taxes if we weren't funding over 900 major military bases around the world, not to mention dozens of useless beauracracies that blow billions upon billions of dollars a year. If you trim the federal gov back to what it's supposed to be under the constitution, then the taxes he proposes are perfectly adequate.

  • @Nakor420ish you really think the president has the power to make those sorts of sweeping financial changes? Did you sleep through poliSci? The president has very little power over the pursestrings. Thats Congress's mandate, checks and balances remember? The US owes enough, and its people are complicit for electing bush the 2nd time to pay that debt. Increasing taxes on the rich, with a moderate break for the not rich is ideal and appropriate to pay this debt off.

  • @Nakor420ish Heres the simplicity of it, if you ask me if the federal reserve needs to go? Yeah it does. The overseas "empire?" yep thats gotta go too. The Electoral College that maintains the bipartisan system? yep that too. And I know Ron Paul says he wants those things gone. Can he actually do it? Not the way hes running. If you think that ideals can put him in the white house, then you simply dont understand politics.

  • @howlingwolf8 If people like you stopped voting for who the media tells them to, and voted with your mind, then he WILL win.

  • @howlingwolf8 I'm done talking to you now. Don't expect a response anymore.

  • marijuana will finally be legalize and regulated and the war on drugs will be over if you vote for Ron Paul 2012

  • i didn't see him struggling at all...

  • Romney has no solutions, he's just going to trad the same path until the dollar collapses and the Neo-cons start WWIII

    Palin is an idiot that will parrot whatever her backers tell her to.

    RON PAUL HAS VISION, INTEGRETY AND A SOLUTION!!

  • Palin=dim bulb. It's amazing how far the GOP has fallen propping up anti-intellectuals.

  • Do not judge Americans by this uninformed group of zombies. Most people here don't research or question anything that main street news or the white house administration claims. Its a sad state when the TV is your GOD.. The sleeping giant is coming out of hibernation

  • Romneys the biggest puke there ever was. Ron Paul 2012

  • I have a problem electing Mitt, who believes that one day he will become "a god" and govern a planet! That is what they are being taught and must believe if you are a Mormon! How can someone with that mentality that run our country????? I can NEVER vote for this guy. Mormons are NOT Christians, they are Mormons. He should be an Independent, not a Republican.

  • HEY ROMNEY...

    ARE YOU GOING TO END THE FEDERAL RESERVE(CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION FACT)

    ARE YOU GOING TO CLOSE 900 MILITARY BASES AROUND THE WORLD SO WE CAN HAVE SOME PEACE?

    ARE YOU GOING TO END THE PATRIOT ACT?

    ARE YOU GOING TO SHRINK THE GOV BY 50%?

    IF YOUR ANSWER IS NO TO ANY OF THESE QUESTIONS.THEN...YOU ARE USELESS TO ME AND MY FAMILY.

    SO....WHAT CANDIDATE IS GOING TO ACCOMPLISH THE PROBLEMS I MENTIONED?

    DR. RON PAUL. BECAUSE I REFUSE TO WASTE MY VOTE.

  • @Gioxtream

    amen brother.

  • @Gioxtream Libertarians are annoying because with the _exception_ of Ron Paul, they can't express their opinions except by yelling like lunatics. Though Ron Paul sounds like he's whining all the time, too. Cool out! You've got good points!

  • @Gioxtream ron paul? I respect the idea of libertarianism to some degree in its bare bones, unfortunately upon further scrutiny, Libertarian really is a misnomer for anarchy, or corporate controlled government. Lets see, no laws regulating business, such as labor codes or environmental protection. Cause the corporations would just honor its workers properly and protect the environment on their own? lol sure they would. Only landowners get to vote? really, thats the ideals you value?

  • listening to you guys makes me laugh. How many of you make more than 250000 a year? You guys talk about obama lying and raising taxes...Huh? What did obama lie about? his birthplace? nope, his religion? nope(not that it matters in a country that is secular) you think hes raising your taxes? nope, not true either. At least not if you are middle class or lower. hes talking about repealing the bush tax breaks for billion dollar corporations, and increasing by 3 % taxes only on the very rich.

  • @howlingwolf8

    Please.Don't get mad.I was like you once.Let me show you with facts how wrong you are.Allow me to share this videos with you.Copy and paste In youtube as you see:

    Good luck.

  • @Gioxtream wow, is that the new "I Hate Obama" conspiracy manual? Lemme guess, hes a muslim that is controlled by zionist israel, and has his strings pulled by the bilderberger group. Heard all the rhetoric before. Now aside from cryptic conspiracy theories, the reality is what he proposed. 5% reduction in taxes for those making less than 250000 a year and 3% increase on taxes for those above that margin, along with repealing the bush corporate tax breaks.

  • he wasnt struggling to answer the question at all

  • Ron Paul is the only qualified candidate.  Romney knows about 1 sentence worth of economic theory. Wake up, people.

  • @EastCoastAvenger Lol if that. He is a total fucktard when it comes to the basic principles of economics and national debt. He does not even understand how the monetary system we have attained through the federal reserve has totally fucked this country.

  • RON PAUL END THE FED 2012

  • He answered it in his own way, I don't understand

  • Fuck Romney. He is a pathetic lying bitch like the rest of the Republican candidates.

  • @vdarte May I add a few more zingers vdarte? Romney is an empty suitted phoney who will never be president.He always has a shit eatin grin on his fuck face and I'd like to ask him, what da hell's so funny? Just compare records: Repub Party, 2001-2009, Bush:O jobs, 2 wars started but not finished, 2 cities destroyed, NYC, and New Orl, Nat debt from 5 to 11 tril, 50K factories closed, Bin Laden still alive, 50 mil uninsured.etc, etc. Obama,in 2 yrs: 2 mil.jobs, Bin Laden dead, health care& more!!

  • Romney was a member of the mormon church when it was still officially racist back in 1978.

  • They're Both Shitty Candidates.Romney Wants A NAtional ID Card And Palin Wants To "Pray the Gay Away".

  • She still had a much more impressive track record than the inexperienced President Obama. The difference is with him it didn't look as though that would matter much.

  • mitt the flop romney.

  • I guess I'll give Romney credit for being honest enough to avoid answering. This is a good demonstration of why he'll never be the GOP nominee for president though; guy just isn't a "team player" and that's a requirement for that particular collective.

  • Governor Mitt Romney is a RINO. He supports stringent gun laws. His Massachusetts Health care overhaul pales in comparison to the atrocity of Obamacare, but it was similar. He has never expressed public regret for this. He told Michigan residents at an event there that the financial services bailout was absolutely necessary. He stated you said that the Republican Party needs to pass "immigration reform" (amnesty) in order to attract new voters.

  • @TheModelification Did you really use the word "atrocity" to describe Obama's health care law?

    I'll tell you what. Find a dictionary and define the word "atrocity" for me, and then provide me with information about the law justifying your word choice. I have mixed feelings about the bill but that doesn't stop me from mocking hyperbolic wing-nuts.

  • @jetelegen

    yes.

    Obamacare was signed in March 2010 with 59% of the people disapproving according to a CNN poll. The CBO scored Obamacare on six years of coverage for 10 years of taxes, which is how the CBO showed the bill to be deficit neutral . It's unconstitutional mandating all citizens to purchase health care. Even Pelosi said, "We have to pass the bill, so you can find out what is in it." watch?v=KoE1R-xH5To xH5To It's also meant to take over industry watch?v=p-bY92mcOdk

  • @TheModelification OK. You've got a single CNN poll indicating 59% disapproval (without breaking down the numbers to show that roughly 10% wanted MORE than what Obama got)...most polls were slightly to significantly more favorable, you're cherry-picking; the "unconstitutional" claim is highly debatable (it runs contrary to Scalia's past rulings, for instance), and Nancy Pelosi's poor word choice.

    The bill is going to be a BOON for health insurers.

    Wanna back down a bit from "atrocity?"

  • I don't see being a governor being a big deal. Arnold Schwarzenegger is one and yeah he isn't so good. Also Palin was one and people from Alaska call her incompetent but she did okay. I am from Illinois, we are well known for our corrupt governors but there was a reason Blagojevich kept getting elected before the scandal, he was a great governor. It doesn't feel like it takes much to be a governor of anything.

  • Romney is an alright guy. Leave him alone. No need to pick on him, he's a Mormon, he'll never be president because of it.

  • @braddyboy82 haha so true

  • Liked the clip- like to keep abreast- but Romney most certainly did NOT struggle with the question. He knows he will be quoted, so he searches for the precise words carefully and his delivery appears unscripted... because it is!

  • I watched the vid--so where is the struggle? He answered positively. She is vastly more qualified to hold office than Obama. BHO is the least qualified man to be elected--ever, and it is now obvious to everyone but the braindead lemming Libs who follow blindly. Everyone else sees Obama as an empty suit. He has no answers.

  • Republicans doomed their own party to save face

  • Christian intellectuals? These two words together don't make sense.

  • Romney is a flip flop.

    Palin is a beautiful woman.

    Ron Paul is a real conservative.

  • Look how fast his eyes start blinking whens he was asked id palin was experianced. He started stressing out

  • @williamiwu haha...W/ elected officials, blinks per minute=amount of bullshit per minute

  • @mastershake99 He blinks at about the same rate through the whole time he's talking, and the whole first part is true, common knowledge. Energizing people is what Palin was good at. Blinking a lot means you have dry eyes, probably from lack of sleep.

  • @TheBalefire Come on, dude. How many thinking Repubs really believed that Palin was the best choice?

  • @mastershake99 I didn't say she was the best choice, and neither was Romney, he was just saying she had enough executive experience.

    Qualified =/= Best

  • @mastershake99 Everyone knows that, but ask the teabaggers, they will tell you yes she is. lol

  • Mitt 2012

  • answer no

  • "christian intellectual"?? Did I hear Wolf right?? Isn't that an oxymoron or at least a reason to get your wife and children stoned to death at the hands of the republicans?

  • @callouschristian

    You heard him right. I had to go back and make sure hid did not throw in Ted Haggard or Larry Craig in the list he rattled off.

    Remember Haggard used to meet and "pray" with bush every Monday morning? And they bashed Clinton for getting blown in the white house by a jew on Easter. We just don't have the stained garments to prove haggard was blowing bush.

  • Im pretty positive mitt romney wasnt struggling at all.....

    he said she has the executive experience from being mayor and governor.

  • lol ya he was, he didn't say Yes she is, or No shes not, he delayed and struggled

    God as a republican, I can't stand to see my party be THIS DUMB, we better not have this dumb bitch anywhere near us in 2012

  • How did I miss this the first time from Wolf, at .024 he is saying "these christian intelectuals" WHAT?

  • yeah i heard that too ..... how are the two ever associated? christian/intellectual ..... nahhhh it doesnt work, does it?

  • I caught it the first time and thought it odd, but Blitzer is weird and creepy anyway. The only Christian intellectuals around these days unwisely stand up to Christopher Hitchens and get their asses handed to them. Ilike your anti-theist, anti-intelligent design screen name. It is almost as pretentious as mine.

  • Hitchens isnt even that serious business..

    its a total slaughter when they try to debate dawkins

  • Oh gee, look at the time, I really got to go, I have a sudden interview on the Liberman Show

  • She isn't qualified. Romney is. Argument over.

  • @platinumcar

    is 'NEITHER' an option?

     NONE OF THE ABOVE?!? hahaha...

  • @platinumcar Romney isn't qualified, lol, his crackpot religious beliefs alone should disqualify him
