  • i hate his forin defence views but love all his other view i will vote for him in florida!!

  • He speaks with major in depth knowledge, he doesn't dodge the question, he's obviously the only one who knows what he's talking about. 

  • ron paul educates everyone even the other canidates standing next to him.

  • I'm sorry, but it's almost fucking unbelievable to think anyone would vote for him.

  • @Westphal93 Is it really that hard to believe that the entire system is fucked? This guy is the only person offering any real change (you know that stuff Obama told everybody he was doing?

    )

  • @SlappaDaBass18 No it's not hard to believe, your really only kidding yourself if you don't believe it's fucked. But do you really believe Ron Paul will change anything? Even if he does, it's not going to be what you want. I can guarantee you that. And Obama said all the things he planned to do, if you remember the Republican congress voted everything down.

  • @Westphal93 So your argument is that since congress voted down Obama they will do the same thing to Ron Paul? Explain that to me please. I'd also like to know "what I want" and how you'll guarantee me that isn't what I'll get. 

  • @SlappaDaBass18 No my argument is that Obama never got to do what he wanted because Congress voted everything down, that part had nothing to do with Ron Paul. You'd probably want the economy to be stable and progressing, lots of jobs being created, less taxes, no war, and a stronger United States as a whole right? He's not going to magically fix the economy, he's going to knock everyone off of medi-care, cut spending to aid the poor by a huge margin, and reduce taxes, especially for the rich.

  • @Westphal93 I don't expect anybody to "magically fix the economy" I just think that Dr Paul has the been plan out of those being presented. He isn't going to "knock" everybody off of government programs, but phase them out over a matter of decades. Most of his cuts directly benefit the middle class. The idea is that instead of having money taken out of your checks in taxes and the gov't spending it for you, you keep your own damned money and find your own healthcare/retirement.

  • @Westphal93 And the person saying all this to you is somebody who has lived below the poverty line his entire life. Watch Dr Paul's response to the question at 6:45, and pay particular attention to the last bit he says, from about 8:00 on. That's pretty much what I'm getting at.

  • Why does that panel smile every time ron speaks?

  • Have you ever thought of how stupid man is? i mean deforestation, killing the trees that allow us to live, global warming, level of water rising, debt crisis, conspiracies corruption, hatred, but especially war!

    IT blows my mind, have you any IDEa of how much money is spent WORLDWIDe for weaponry and army? a lot i can assure you, and think if man were a truly civilized and evolved species; think abou a world without war, where there is no debt, and where everything works together! Ron Paul 2012

  • Cheers for GANDALF! Hope he wins...

  • 100 years of horrible policy and reckless authority and people today expect some magical plan were everyone is happy, we have to cut departments which does mean jobs but we can transition and give tax credits and other incentives to businesses to get these people employed, young people opt out of SS and Gov Medicine while still providing the benefits people obviously earned in their lifetime, end the fed and break away from IMF UN monsters before we sell our sovereignty for this fake debt

  • Governments don't and shouldn't be responsible for creating jobs, hover they are responsible in creating a favorable environment for all business and trade, from making it easy to start a small business to making it easier for big business to invest here. The people create jobs Gov needs to get the fuck out of the way, this isnt some right wing opinion that gets debated like it used to be before we had a good understanding of economics it is fact

  • As soon as he mentioned M1 money the moderator was lost.

  • If you count all American debt it's 300% of GDP. If you want to help your country pay off your debts!

  • Too bad most people are ignorant sheeps with an IQ around 80. The man in power know that very well.

  • I don't understand how spending is bad. If everyone spends, including the government, it increases money circulation.

  • @ferose2 'Spending,' by itself, isn't 'bad.' But spending, when you can't pay your current debts, IS bad and financing your spending (by going further into debt) is even worse. When government does this, there are the added disadvantages of distorting the productive structure and pricing signals in our economy and the steady destruction of purchasing power. (Nevermind the special interests that benefit from the system at the expense of others.)

  • @realjoeplummer Makes sense, the government is in debt and we need to somehow get out of it. I see how cutting finance from certain government programs such as student financial aids can help us, at the price of increasing short term unemployment. I don't see how reducing tax on the private US organizations can help us.

  • @ferose2 "I don't see how reducing tax on the private US organizations can help us." There are a few ways to answer that. I think the shortest / easiest answer is: If the US has a favorable corporate tax structure, companies will be more likely to build their plants and produce their products here. (More jobs and more investment in the US instead of chasing both offshore.)

  • @realjoeplummer I understand that, it is important for foreign companies to have some of their business inside the US. Couldn't we have a different type of tax for the foreign companies to make it more appealing to do business here instead of reducing the tax for all companies?

  • @ferose2 ...sure, but that wouldn't really be fair to US companies. Also, as Milton Friedman pointed out, corporations don't really pay taxes (the costs are simply added to the price of their products / services.) Just to be clear, I'm no fan of the corporations that benefit from govt handouts / bailouts. We basically have no control of how the $ is spent...that's why I focus on trying to reduce how much they can get their hands on. (More than taxes, the Federal Reserve has to be addressed.)

  • @realjoeplummer You just showed how Ron Paul electors are MUCH more aducated on economic terms than any other! Great explanation! Americans have the privilege of having an AMAZING option for government with Ron! Here in Brazil all we have are former marxisist and trtskian revolutionaires on the leash of major corporations and ABSOLUTELY NO ONE in our political scene has the guts to talk against spending or taxation, and not even the explicit and absurd corruption is being adressed as it should!

  • @ferose2 go spend all your money, and let me know how great you do afterward.

  • @WONDOCTORJ That's exactly what I do. Letting my money sit in my savings account is a waste. I'm doing better than most people :-)

  • @ferose2 You are missing the point. Not too bright are ya?

  • @WONDOCTORJ Please, would you kindly enlighten me old wise one?

  • @ferose2 You said government spending is good because it puts more money into circulation. Well, that makes you a moron, as the more money they spend is freaking BORROWED MONEY moron.

    See ya at the food riots.

  • @WONDOCTORJ I usually prevent myself from saying personal insults, but you are a dumb mofo. I never suggested that the government should go on a spending spree. All I'm saying is money circulation is important, and voting for the president should not be done without questioning. In all honestly, Ron Paul is a good candidate, at least compared to everyone else in the GOP.

  • @ferose2 "spending" isn't bad per se, but you have to remember that government has no money of its own to spend; all money spent by the government is money that could have spent, saved, or invested by free people in the market.

  • Obama would not openly debate Ron Paul for obvious reasons. If there were a live unscripted debate, Ron Paul would tell everyone what is up.

  • viktor40

    That would be epic

  • I would love to see an Obama vs Paul debate in the near future...

  • Ron paul FTW

  • NON PAUL 2012

  • Hermain Cain: "What is he saying? Damn, I really think I am out of the league now."

  • NOTICE, DR. RON PAUL IS THE ONLY CANDIDATE SITING THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, HE IS OUR LAST CHANCE.

  • @Airshot06 I never knew someone could "sit" the constitution.

  • So, he wants higher interest rates and lower spending. He forgot to ask for flying unicorns and pots of gold at the end of rainbows.

  • That's my dude!

  • Beautiful ending :,)

    

  • he wrecks perry and cain

  • • It's not enough to say "Vote Ron Paul"

    PEOPLE NEED TO SWITCH PARTIES 12 WEEKS IN ADVANCE OF THE PRIMARIES IN MOST STATES.

    IF YOU DO NOT SWITCH IN TIME YOU CANNOT VOTE IN PRIMARY.

    IF YOU ARE NOT REGISTERED REPUBLICAN YOU CANNOT VOTE IN PRIMARY.

    IF RON PAUL DOES NOT WIN PRIMARY, NO GENERAL ELECTION ! REGISTER AS A REPUBLICAN. FIND OUT WHEN YOUR STATE HAS PRIMARIES. FIND OUT WHERE AND VOTE VOTE VOTE ! PLEASE !

    WE NEED EVERY LAST VOTE ! Copy and paste this everywhere, and vote up

  • where is this debate? and what network broadcast it cos i want to watch the full vid

  • I am a Young American, to be First time voter, in 2012, Dr. RON PAUL, I Have registered to the Republican Party, here in Nevada, You have my vote sir! Need to get this guy as our Primary winner!

  • @Airshot06 Good for you, Ron Paul is the best hope for America's future! But be aware that Nevada shut down the Republican Primary last time when it began to be clear that Dr Paul would win it.

  • Comment removed

  • GOP field= Morons, mormons, witches and attempted rapists. Is this some kind of joke?

  • @coltor9 Obama has enfiltrated the Republican establishment and hand picked these clowns so that he can win in a land slide victery in 2012. Its so obveous.

  • @teapartyxpress Yes. Cain get's confused between Libya and Youbeckybeckystan. Perry is day dreaming about hunting down at his Ni99erhead Ranch. Romney, is worried about what his 5,000 policies that he's flip-flopped on and can't remember what he was for before he was against it. Gingrich, is wondering if he'll have to serve divorce papers on his new wife on her deathbed because she hates the new ring he charged for her on credit. Bachman is basically a raving lunatic and just wants to waterboard

  • @teapartyxpress I can only hope your poor spelling is intentional.

  • @twogoodith So what. I am suffishently proud of who I am as a American. My spelling is compleetly extentional. I mite not spell rite but at leest I know what im talkin about.

    Thats the problem with you book smart liberols. Your smart but you dont know nuthing. Sad

  • @coltor9

    And what do you consider Ron Paul?

  • who let jim cramer in there?!

  • The amount of stupidity here is mindblowing..

    The Department of Education have absolutely NOTHING to do with setting college tuition. NOTHING.

    Government have absolutely NOTHING to do with health care insurance companies having a 40% profit margin. NOTHING.

    Government have absolutely NOTHING to do with Fannie and Freddie making bad loans.

    Deregulation is the cause of all three problems. Deregulation is pure evil and Ron Paul wants MORE deregulation.

  • @SquirrelFromGradLife go back to your art history class, moron

  • @SquirrelFromGradLife What a complete dumbass, You

    make Rick Perry look smart. Which shows how completely stupid you are.

  • @SquirrelFromGradLife

    You're simply wrong on all three.

    At the end of the day, the Government interferes in all three you mentioned, if you follow the line back you will eventually be led to the Government, either providing finance or calling the shots.

    If the Government gives every student 20k more then what they need for school costs, you'll generally see school costs go up 20k. If the government sets prices in Health, it removes competition.

  • Tired of your voice not getting heard due to greedy politicians? Then join AECNow, an organization whose goal is to abolish the electoral college and give the power of electing the extremely important position of president, back to the people. Like us on facebook (Abolish Electoral College, not AECNow), follow us on twitter @AECNow, or subscribe to our YouTube channel (note - we currently do not have any videos, but expect some within a week or two)

  • Watched the lame street news report on these debate's.... Not one of the Alphabet soup News channels even mentioned Ron Paul...Man I hope people will wake up...!

  • Ron Paul set me free! I'm 60 years old and have been lied to and manipulated by my government my entire life. The FederalReserve, WallStreet, the big banks, our ForeignPolicy, "entitlement" programs ... have nearly brought our country to ruin! The government has successfully brainwashed us and perverted our Constitution. Ron Paul is the only candidate who understands the big picture. The status quo is scared,very scared of Ron Paul. It's time to wake up America. DONATE NOW TO RON PAUL.

  • Ron Paul is a kindhearted man , and a realy courageous man , it takes a lot of bravery to stand up in front of these zionist golums

  • @viva he is a well known stock analyst, you don't really need smart people to ask questions anyway, just someone who is well known and you can say "Hey I know that guy" because it is a little more interesting than some random news anchor you've probably never seen.

  • Yah granny I seen that too, I've watch a few of these debates. Each debate the candidates incorporate more of his ideas into what they say...

  • as long a ron paul is not the illuminati I'm all for it

  • who let this dumb criminal ass jim cramer speak there , he is like an ugly parrot puking nonsense

  • Ron Paul is the only guy making sense any more in this country. As the smartest and most honest man in DC, he has my vote.

  • He speaks the truth and he is real! Most people cannot realize the truth in his words! I only just realized how strong his words are and how strong are his policies! He can really change the world to a better one. Unfortunately the majority of voters is dumb and hypnotized by the media!

  • Canada loves Ron Paul!

  • Jim Cramer is a loon Ron Paul is smart man who needs to be president

  • @rnbuffjo JIm Cramer is a dumbass, ALL HIS ADVISE HAS ALWAYS ALWAYS BEEN WRONG, I rather take my financial advise from a drug dealer than that dumbass

  • Ron Paul is a loon!

  • @hawkermustang Do us a favor and jump off a cliff. IQ would jump up a few points. Thank you

  • As Ron Paul explains how to fix the problems of the country. Notice, all other debaters are transfixed with him. They stand totally still and listen to his words of wisdom. A picture is worth a thousand words.

    Ron Paul speaking while Romney, Cain, Perry stand mesmerized by his knowledge.  Ron Paul in 2012. He will win, one vote at a time.

  • @GrannySays When Ron Paul speaks, it's like the teacher explaining something to his students. They all stand silently - even nodding their heads as he explains what has caused our nation's collapse. The other candidates, the debate moderators all get a lesson every time Ron Paul speaks. So, if people have never donated to a campaign before... now is the time! It takes money to run ads on TV. This is the only way. The media will do nothing to help Ron Paul. Let's surprise them! Help RON PAUL!

  • Damn... now I have to think when I listen to Ron Paul's messages.

  • Doctor Paul treating country exactly as he would treat patient ,lol

  • This Jim, Cramer scum should be in jail , what is he doing there in presidential debate

  • How many times must Ron Paul be right before people stop laughing at him? Everything he has predicted in the past about the economy and foreign policy has come true, yet people still laugh at him when he makes current predictions about what will happen to the US if we don't put an end to what we are doing. It's a sad day when most Americans would rather live in their bubble thinking the US is the best country in the world, and that we cannot do any wrong.

  • when RP talks about monetary policy you can see the other candidates eyes glaze over like a deer in the headlights

  • I think what Dr Paul needs to emphasize especially to students is the real reason education costs are so high and why they need loans to begin with. He can start by asking them why with the costs of communications and data plummeting, has no education costs also plummeted. essentially education is nothing more than the delivery of information. The costs of information have dropped by orders of magnitude in every area where government is not or minimally involved.

  • Smart man! He has my vote, no matter what..

  • The ron paul sticker on the back of a government motors chevy volt was extremely ironic

  • @boristhepython In all fairness the Volt project was started before GM was Government Motors, but your point was well taken

  • Larger government hides it's corruption a lot better than smaller government.

  • Ron Paul seems to be getting a lot more respect from the candidates lately. Romney has stopped making smug faces every time Ron is speaking.

  • Have you noticed when Ron Paul speaks, all the other listen to him very intently.

    RON PAUL IS THE TRUE LEADER OF THE AMERICAN REPUBLIC.

  • NO OTHER CANDIDATES NUMBERS ARE REAL, THE CORPORATE MEDIA IS LYING TO EVERYONE

    RON PAUL IS THE REAL FRONT RUNNER.

    THINK ABOUT IT, ROMNEY DOES NOT DO STRAW POLLS AND HE HAS HIGH NUMBERS ??????

    HES FUNDED BY GOLADMAN SACKS AND THE BANKS

    WHERE ARE THE THOUSANDS OF ROMNEY SUPPORTERS ? WHERE ?

    i NEVER SEE ANY SUPPORTERS BUT RON PAUL.

    PAUL SUPPORTERS ARE IN THE MILLIONS.

    WITHOUT THE CORPORATE MEDIA, NONE OF THE OTHER CANDIDATES HAVE A CHANCE.

    RON PAUL 4 LIFE.

  • Ron was a lot more confident during this debate. This was a great performance.

  • Yahoo! posted an article today about how Newt Gingrich was trying to take advantage of missteps by Cain and Perry. Then the article went on to bring up Bachmann and even Santorum as possibly stepping into the void. There was not one mention of Ron Paul in the entire article and HE'S IN DOUBLE DIGITS! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

  • It's incredible and scary how any other Republican candidate is even being considered above Ron Paul. Herman Cain in the lead...really!? Americans have become so deluded and blind to the truth, and we're going to reap everything we've sowed. God help us in these coming years - it's going to be beyond anything we can imagine.

  • Maria Bartaromo looks just amazing.. She got rid of those raccoon eyes and looks like she's 35 again. Dreamy. Heard shes got a phat ass too.

  • Hey, where can i get that chart from the end of the debate?

  • If you want the chart, add Wonder Wendy on facebook, and look in my Argument Starters 2 photo album...

  • CNBC, like O'Reilly and others, took down the poll when it was apparent that Paul won, claiming that Paul supporters had tampered with it and slammed the polls. Funny - if your technology was so advanced, then how could your poll be slammed, if each IP address was counted only once? And why is it that only Paul supporters are punished for being organized and showing up to vote for their candidate? Is that not the point of polling and elections? Screw the MSM.

  • Ron Paul rocks! Ron Paul for President!

  • Where can I get the chart at the end of the debate? Don't you think it would make a great T-shirt?? Thanks for the info.

  • @diannaeco A link to the graph is available under the video description. Yes, it would make a good T-shirt (good conversation starter.)

  • I wanna see this guy debate Obama.

  • Like a Boss

  • Perry sees God in the flesh at 1:10

  • Paul is the man!

  • I love how Dr Paul doesn't mudsling vs. the other candidates. He stays on point. "Crony Capitalists" include every candidate on stage besides him. RON PAUL 2012

  • "1 trillion dollars in one year" not this 500 million in ten year bull ish

  • Let's stop calling it "crony capitalism" that's an oxymoron -- like saying "atheist Baptist." It's simple cronyism. Nothing more; nothing less. It's not capitalism at all. 

  • @SoulTax Corporatism is a better description.

  • Comment removed

  • I went to college in the early 90s when student loans were small. I went to school for engineering which cost $10k/yr. The starting salary for an engineering grad was $55k. I graduated with $30k in loans so my debt to income was about 0.50. The school now costs $50k/yr and the starting salary for an engineer is $55/60k so you will graduate with about $150k in loans and a debt to income of 3x. Schools charge more if the students can get loans.

  • @buffteethr And because the cost per student is just higher for the materials to educate a student now. Think of the computers bought, software and all included that are NEEDED for the student to learn what is needed to be learned.

  • "How do they now pay for college?"

    "The same way you pay cellphones and computers."

    I have never heard a more simple, yet profoundly ture statement in regardless to this subject. If you want it, you buy it. That fucking simple.

  • @alkalisunshine Ron Paul has to explain extremely complex ideas in a short period of time. This at least gets people thinking on the right track, before people can rebel they need to understand HOW they are being lied to, HOW they are being manipulated. Competition is good for prices, and right now the loan program is making the prices sky rocket, once people understand we need to remove the gov. from the loan program things will change. Thanks Dr Paul for helping people understand this concept.

  • @syborius Why is directed towards me? I don't disargee with you or Dr. Paul, I'm just confused. I think the way he put it was brilliant. Yes, there's more to it, but most people only like hearing talking points and little snippets that sound good.

  • The chart at 10:11 should tell anyone EVERYTHING they need to know about the differences between the Democrats, the Republicans, and Ron Paul.

    It's not Democrats vs. Republicans.

    It's Ron Paul vs. the entire duopoly.

  • Chart at the end says it all. Well done.

  • We definitely need to get rid of the Dept of Education. A shocking, completely documented expose' entitled "the deliberate dumbing down of america" by Charlotte Thomson Iserbyt is a book which presents a chronology of the educational restructuring supported by all political stripes to be a totalitarian plan. Vote Ron Paul 2012!

  • Romney, Perry, Cain, take notes! Class is in session!

  • Hate how the media covers him up! We need to spread the word!

  • 8:36 pure passion

  • Comment removed

  • This was a solid debate, and the moderators were pretty good, I think.

    Ron Paul owned it big time.

  • Nobody else (in the race) even comes close

  • Ron Paul swept the floor with all the other candidates. I can't see what American voters see in empty vessels such as Romney, Perry and that new Keynesian shill Cain. They are all BS candidates - it's so clear.

  • I'm no fan of Reps but at least Ron Paul isn't completely bat shit like the others.

  • Wow! Doc was awesome!!!

  • My god, he schooled the ever living shit out of that poor woman on student loans.

  • The big difference: Ron Paul teaches you, the other guys tell you what they think you want to hear.

  • Jim Cramer is nuts

  • i agree with about half of what he says, the other half is nuts, we do need some federal government; the most corruption can be found in big business, and politics, we are the ones that get screwed at the end, especially when everything becomes private, and only a limited # of people have access to things like a relatively good education.there are already private schools, and i can't afford to go to one now, making them private closes off access to many, but other than that yes.

  • @Rudawg350 I dont mean to be rash, but how well do you think the Department of Education has done? Whats your opinion of public schools as a whole? Since its inception, has standards or educational value gone up or down since goverment intervention? And do you belive the corrilation, that goverment intervention has caused spikes in the cost of homes, tuition, or medical care.... because for many of us, thats why education is expensive now.

  • @ashkaji as a whole they are shit, but that is because they are underfunded, and the "no child left behind" standards have fucked thing over, primarily getting rid of creativity and thought, and making everything standardized. Like i said i do agree with half the stuff, one of them being the Gov. involvement in the housing stuff.

  • @Rudawg350

    I don't see where Ron Paul said anything about having absolutely no federal government. Even he will tell you that Federal Government is necessary for some vital contributions to the stability of the nation. But the Federal Government has been blowing it, and it is primarily due to everything he just talked about. Just get a little more educated on the facts. They won't teach you the truth about this shit in public schools. They're run by the Govt. and only serve their interests.

  • @screemzndigital yup,but the major issue i have is with the cutting of the education system,primarily in the student loans,for i am currently attending college,and that is only because i am able to get a federal student loan,which offers a way better overall price.I just don't see everything as being solved by business,an example would be health care,people's lives should not be business,i dont like businesses betting on when i will die,however, the banks should be private @ allowed to collapse

  • @Rudawg350

    They won't teach you the truth about this shit in public schools. They're run by the Govt. and only serve their interests. And that is the goal of the FDE; to control and limit what you know so you can remain ignorant about the big red, white and blue dick being shoved up our asses every day. "I do not want a nation of thinkers. I want a nation of workers." - John D. Rockefeller.

  • @screemzndigital depends on what you are learning. they cannot manipulate math and science. Also, i study in a field that is often pessimistic,& we see the flaws in all things society. They will not teach you the truth about politics, but that is not something really taught to a public school student. Another thing that cannot be truly changed is history;yes it can be manipulated, but if you have doubts you can find the information yourself; there as history revisionist,and they are a good thing

  • @screemzndigital also, this is assuming you just accept everything they tell you, and NO. I personally question everything, and if i have doubts i will research the stuff myself, if i find more compelling evidence, then i will not agree with the lecturer, fortunately i go to a "liberal" college, and they too do not like the gov, at least the instructors, and they do not have to follow a script, and i know this for certain because of history. i am offered revisionist history, & it is not pro gov

  • @Rudawg350

    I have read everything you posted in replay, and I perfectly understand where you are coming from. I too am a college student, studying CDC. I am currently on student loan, yet most of my tuition is covered by Post 9/11 GI Bill. So, I may have it as rough as you do, unless you are receiving anything similar. Even though many colleges offer revisionist history, I still have my doubts about its authenticity. Continued...

  • @Rudawg350

    and even though math and science cannot be so easily manipulated, the degree or level of it taught in schools can be controlled and limited, making most people less or even unqualified for certain high paying jobs. If they taught all these courses to the extent of true human potential, people would be amazingly brilliant. But even critical thinking is not taught in most schools (K-12) and that is essential to judgement. Continued...
