"Goldman friggin' Sachs" - Gov. Buddy Roemer on MSNBC's Morning Joe

[VainGame]

I like Buddy, but I'm a Ron Paul guy.

[Northeastbaseball]

Occupy Wall street smells like shit.

[jaquen1977]

Obama supporter. Democrat. If this man is on the ticket, he's getting my vote. Fuck party lines.

[GTBeauregard]

Now I'm pissed - I've never even heard of this guy. Rigged fucking system.

[sinceilostmytooth]

Ron Paul and Buddy Roemer would make a great team. Something is brewing in America! Corrupt America beware!

[melipell]

@sinceilostmytooth OR Ron Paul and Judge Napolitano??? Switch to Independent ticket 2 months before election and there'd be a STAMPEDE!! Can you imagine??

[oldpossum]

An article on Buddy in the New Yorker brought the old OccupyZurich activist to this site.

Seems he didn't grasp Occupy's objective by stating that we want "more government". He should have said "DIFFERENT government".



[DarkWillg21]

Roemer is more democratic than Obama

[nielyeager]

DEAR REPUBLICANS! You don't like Obama. I do. But if you want my help getting him out of the white house, put THIS MAN on the Republican ticket. He has my vote.

[melipell]

@nielyeager OR RON PAUL and HIM?? Or Judge Napolitano?? Oh yeah!

[nielyeager]

@melipell -_- *sigh* no... i would never vote for Ron Paul.

[VainGame]

I like Buddy and all, but I'm a Ron Paul guy!

[NYPhilsPhan]

@VainGame You know, you CAN like them both (I do). Their messages mesh very well...smaller, responsive government that is not corrupt and does not infringe on our rights and does not unbalance the playing field through government meddling (or favoritism). I love what he has to say.

[scottfreedom2012]

I like Buddy and he has good Ideas and could be a great choice other than Newt, Romney and Santorum from what was said in this clip. I don't know what his stand is on National Defense and other topics but I am a huge Ron Paul supporter. Maybe he could be Ron's VP. RON PAUL 2012!!

[MickyG4444]

What bullshit they wouldn't let him debate

[MrMillsmo]

Buddy shows the scam of the left right political machine, It depresses me to find REAL candidates like Buddy who wants to get rid of the corruption that's poisoned America, but instead we are fed these soulless millionaire corporate puppets,Gingrich, Romney, Santorum... It's a RIGGED GAME! The media, the whole fucking thing...

[youdevil6]

love him

[southerngirl3702]

I would vote for him. He is right though, he'll never get on the ballot. They'll make sure of that.

[MickyG4444]

@southerngirl3702 Hey they said the same about Ron Paul. Buddy's gotta stick to it. Remember Ron Paul in 2004? Totally different candidacy.

[AIMFILMGROUP]

It's impossible to enforce campaign finance law; the problem lies with the representative system itself. Direct democracy, and until then, RON PAUL 2012.

[dcaroon]

Wow! I really like this guy..If it wasn't for Ron Paul he would have my vote.

[comflmregistry]

PACs are the culprit and the organization behind candidates. Buddy has hit the nail on the head. Would a Lincoln survive this generation if he showed up out of nowhere and refused to set up a PAC. Some say he would shoot himself in the foot while others would shoot him themselves. Truth always has a friction in it. Do we still have a reference point of truth. No Government will stand with special interest lies as a foundation& bullies as money lenders. That is mobster government in my book.

[comflmregistry]

HEY BUDDY! ASK ROMNEY WHY HE PURGED HIS EMAILS WHEN HE LEFT BOSTON? DO YOU SUPPORT PULBIC RECORD LAW IN THE LEGISLATURE?  COURTS? ALL EYES ON DECK!

[Northeastbaseball]

Well this guy just lost my vote because he supports the Occupy loonies

[Gunzzzzup]

@Northeastbaseball Stop being brainwashed by the media. Yeah, they're easily marginalized by the fringe elements, but the core of the movement is right. This same type of marginalization happens with the Tea-party also btw. Did you listen to anything he just said about how our candidates on both sides are bought and sold by Goldman Sachs? They play for the same team and it's not ours.

[HYTUBEH]

"Someone makes the rules." That's coming from a former Governor and Senator.

[HalfBornUnicornFetus]

Paul/Roemer 2012!

[Silverweed]

its a shame and a disgrace that roemer has not been allowed to participate in the debates

[VideogamesAreSerious]

You know the system is broken when Michelle Bachman is allowed on the debate stage and this guy isn't...

[SENORMEBS]

This Ron Paul supporter loves the message and passion behind Buddy! More AMERICANS like this please!

[skatzat]

I am an absolute Ron Paul supporter...But this is the first I have actually heard Buddy Roemer speak....I LOVE HIM....I love his message... we need PRINCIPLED candidates over all else.

[GTBeauregard]

@skatzat I left the Ron Paul crowd. Free Trade is THE issue and the fact that Ron Paul doesn't address it strongly is telling.

[VainGame]

@GTBeauregard LOLOL He's the one that talks about Free Trade the most.

[GTBeauregard]

@VainGame You laugh easily. Ron Paul says he supports it. What does he have to say about the trade imbalance with China?

Then Jesus went into the temple, threw out everyone who was selling and buying in the temple, and overturned the moneychangers' tables and the chairs of those who sold doves.

[RobertDavidSteele]

Buddy is delusional if he thinks he can break into the Republican party mafia. He has TWICE refused overtures from the Reform Party, where I am a Reform Party candidate for the nomination and offered to step aside for him. He is also delusional if he thinks Americans Elect is going to be allowed to pick him when their corrupt leaders favor John Huntsman, and the public favors Bernie Sanders. Like all other candidates except myself, he does not play well with others.

[muslimgiga]

this guys like ron paul

[Solarfactor]

@muslimgiga Unfortunately, he's full of it. Do you know who he would choose to be his running mate? Brace yourself... Joe Lieberman...

[muslimgiga]

@Solarfactor A democrat? lol?

[Solarfactor]

@muslimgiga Lieberman is an "Independent". He's pure scum. He advocates torture and wants to censor the internet: watch?v=WI735iBAkvQ. It bothers these tools that the internet is the last bastion of true free speech, and they want to control it.

[muslimgiga]

@Solarfactor Then I should crack Lieberman's head. Pure scum. I watched some of him after you mentioned it. He's represents what's wrong with this country.

[RobertDavidSteele]

@Solarfactor AGREE! That for me was the truth-teller. Joe Lieberman has always been the Israeli penetration of the Senate, closely representing Goldman Sachs, and not to be trusted when it comes to actually protecting American interests. For me, this confirmed that Buddy Sachs might be the Manchurian candidate in the 2012 cycle, the Wall Street "Plan B" to their money man Romney if he fails. The more people pay attention, the more possible Ron Paul becomes.

[DillonDee1]

Buddy -- the middle class needs you -- run 3rd party

[ji94552]

Buddy, RUN AS A 3RD PARTY, PLEASE!

[trentreker]

msnbc, learn to spell "louisiana" before you stick it on your telecast.

[yellowjade1]

LOVE THIS VIDEO. WHY does the Media Ignore HIm?????

[ji94552]

@yellowjade1 He's not getting enough vote from Repubs.

[dmcarefuldriver]

Paul - Roemer 2012!!!

[chrisdabdoub]

Ron Paul is also a republican but the difference between them and the other republicans is that Ron Paul and Buddy Rhomer are good human beings. They will never change their principles or sell their soul for power.

[PheniousTop]

Buddy Roemer may be the man. The only problem is that he's a Republican.

[1corpoaratekochwhore]

@Ron Paul Supporters

No offence, but are you people retarded? How does Governor Roemer sound even remotely like Ron Paul. Mr. Paul IS NOT FOR campaign finance reform, he has Super PACs supporting him. They both are against bailouts but thats pretty much it. Roemer is much more reasonable and moderate, he has his own message he is not copying Ron Paul.

[LibertyMike1]

Ron Paul, Gary Johnson, Buddy Roemer.. The only honest ones running for the GOP ticket, yet are the most ignored by the party's establishment.

[overcominginertia]

@LibertyMike1 Go Figure. Right? What does that tell you?

[Phreakwars]

This guy is getting the treatment Ron Paul got in 08'. At least this time around they are letting Ron Paul in the door. GO BUDDY !!! BTW, I am a Progressive. I support ideas that make sense, nothing more, nothing less. Buddy is the only SANE candidate besides Ron Paul worth voting for. Anything less, Obama gets my vote, PERIOD. Lesser of 2 evils? Uhm, NO, lesser of 2 CRAZY'S!!

[rooti70]

I'm Canadian, but I see this guy just stealing votes from RON PAUL. He sounds like Ron Paul Jr. Is he just watching Ron Paul and stealing his platform? Seems odd to me.

[danger370]

@rooti70 He served with Ron Paul in Congress in the 80's and is friends with Paul. They are very alike but differ on trade and national defense.

[MrConnaman]

This guy needs to run as VP for Ron Paul.

[jimbod819]

he still has no plan on fiscal policy...saying you want to end corruption on wall street and K street is great and all but thats just one facet of what we should be looking for in a candidate. What about fiscal policy, foreign policy, and how we're going to lower unemployment by competing in the global marketplace? He seems like a nice guy but serious presidential contender? C'mon.

[overcominginertia]

@jimbod819 Oh yes he does. You need to see his speech from the Republican Leadership Convention that was on C-span. It's 35 minutes long and he lays it all out. Campaign reform, social security, medicare, foreign trade and employment. Don't judge him by this interview alone. He is a smart man.

[DillonDee1]

4 times elected to USA Congress!

2 tumes elected as Governor of a state!

And yet they let a pizza guy in the debates & deny him?

WHY?

[thirdrobot]

sup bros, die hard liberal here and democratic foot soldier in every statewide/national election since 2004, but I would love to hear more from this guy and have him as a part of the political discussion, the conversation we need to have, about corruption in politics and government.

forget the partisan bs and let's ask some hard questions.

[thenoirofficial]

I find it commendable that a banker & a Harvard graduate in economics takes a hard-line stance against the corruptive influence of money. Love it.

[newsblaze]

Buddy Roemer is right. The "Big Guys" play games to keep out the other guys

[Blueshoe40]

Jon + Buddy ticket would be refreshing (and this is coming from a Democrat)

[FightingStreets]

With the GOP presidential field looking like a circus, they exclude this logical, rational person? They let Michele "Crazy Eyes" Bachmann debate, but not Gov. Roemer?

Actually, I can understand this decision. He speaks with logic, something much of the GOP base is allergic to.

Fuck Romney. Fuck Obama. I'd vote for this guy, and that's coming from a Democrat. Both parties are corrupt as hell and GODDAMN IT I'M NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANY MORE.

[Turkxi]

I love how Buddy Roemer speaks to the point about money destroying our government. I think he means more to the debates then the Republicans would like to admit. Even though he hasn't been on the debates his message pierces the heart of the problems.

[concretetundra]

Great interview. But how can he still be in the Republican party? If he leaves the Republican party I would consider voting for him. It would make a great statement. If he supports Occupy Wall Street he is not a Republican.

[lights779]

@concretetundra What??? You boggle my mind. So, because he actually admits the economic realities that started off the OWS protests, he can't be a Republican, and therefore you won't vote for him? But you might vote for him if he changed parties?

This comment is stupid in so many ways I can't even. America is fucked.

[Sernte]

@concretetundra I don't even...Oh sweet jesus.

[ldboyle1]

Lets all forget about who is the best, just as long as we get Obama out! Another four years of obama, will be be bad! Just wait until Obama care kicks in!

[kykis9]

@ldboyle1 how incredibly imbecilic. yeah, i will wait until the affordable care act kicks in so i can judge it on its merits instead of something that's based on some brutish republican power grab.

[thirdrobot]

@ldboyle1 i'm looking forward to having health insurance for the first time in over 5 years.  there are 50 million people out there just like me.

[webyter]

if something stinks ... throw it out

[botono9]

I hate our system of federal elections because guys like this don't get a fair shake. I don't know much about him, but everything he is saying makes sense. Roemer 2012!

[Tempolisto]

It looks like Roemer is trying to be Ron Paul.

[Tomcat418]

@Tempolisto Not at all. His campaign is very different then Ron Paul. You give Paul too much credit.

[SeerSucker1981]

God...I would LOVE to see Buddy as a third party candidate, up on stage during the debates, just frickin SWEATING Obama and the republican candidate over where they got their funding.

[brunner625]

Great interview, Buddy! You are EXACTLY what this country needs, and we need you right now!

[Nigomsa]

Awesome interview, keep it up Buddy!

[Anonanoid]

Nice to see the lame stream media letting a few get through the cracks and tell the truth live on the boob tube. Great Job !!!

I like this guy.
