Ron Paul Teaches Fred Thompson How To Be President

[johneverymann1]

Fred pulled a Cain. In a 2008 debate Paul also owned McCain on a defense question. McCain used the universal presidential debate cop out "I would ask my advisers"..

[nolan1186]

thmpson knows he got owned! and has no response its like will ferrill in the debate in old school

[buddymacs]

thompson your outbrained outclassed give it up/////////////go ron go

[PeacefulParadox]

Ron Paul is so smart and intelligent. He does his research, hes a medical doctor for gods sake.

[EMPIRE0FLIES]

you wonder how these elected officials can be soo stiupid. I remember this exchange. You can just sense Dr Pauls dispair as he tries to teach these imbeciles.

[bnfox]

Thompson obviously feels like he's still on a dramatic TV series and not aspiring to lead a nation = politician.

[truthIsStranger]

HAHAHAHA, PAUL: "KEEP TRYING."

[Chslosers]

what the fuck is fred thompson even talking about? It's obvious he keeps blabbing while he tries to think of something to say. "Let me break this down, so if we stop printing money, we can get out of the war and provide health care"-thompson

"we wouldn't have to ....whats wrong with backing up the money"- paul

"let me break this down... let me break this down so i can understand it better'"-thompson

That was seriously just plain stupid.. straight up retarded. Who agrees

[jeffdkillman]

bahahhahahahhahah did anybody notice when Fred was like..im gonna break it down so i can understand it...and Ron paul says...Keep trying..bahhahahahha

[roflcopter2006]

Print less money, decrease inflation, people's standard of living increases, thus more people can afford healthcare.

Is it any wonder Thompson got owned in the primaries.

[hailtotheking324]

thompson is like wait so let me get this straight your saying we should look out for the best interests of the people?

[adam1mc]

Good Memories.

All off these assclowns are getting their asses handed to them now.

[GrayGhost8]

Thompson knows is your typical D.C. booze hound.

[JTsmokes]

Fred Thompson should go back to Law and Order and leave important issues to real men like Ron Paul.

[LeifEiriksson]

Ron, don't bother. That went right over that dunce's head.

[borat443]

FT is a blowhard with nothing to say and RP showed him up for the phony he is just like the rest of the people in DC a bunch of Actors, Hollywood for Ugly people, and crooked academics thats all it is.

[Orbit915]

Ron Paul is awesome

[LORDOFWARS8]

There is no such thing as GOP or Democratic party.. Thats is just a facade so that they canb keep the circus every 4 yrs and 2 yrs. There is, in reality, a cabal and that is operated by a few.

One of the main piece of that "club/cabal" is Federal Reserve of US. That is their cash machine. When we end it we can say that we have ended their cash supply.

Things will be much easier and simpler after that.

Let us Audit the fed and then automatically end it.

[PTTHOR]

101% CORRECT !!!

[gobbledygookie]

Fred Thompson is such an actor... he thinks just by saying something with a great deal of irony with his voice it's gonna make him right

[KBploys]

I'm so glad Paul didn't make it...too bad Thompson didn't though.

[kebin311]

Im guessing you wrote that before you saw the video and if you didnt....im glad he lost

[FATToney12]

LOL. Ron Paul: "You try."

[Retic92]

Ron Paul ripped the republican party a new one during the debates and wouldn't ya know it, he didn't get the gop nomination. The people who need to be in power can't be in power due to this corrupted system we have now.

[muham8]

Agreed. I consider myself a moderate, slightly on the left side, but Ron Paul is a true republican that I'd vote for, unlike all these other fakes who think they're republican just because they're pro life, pro war, and "religious".

[soldatna]

David and Goliath. Now who looks the fool

[strongblackwoman22]

all of these people are eating their shoes now because of Ron Paul

[chatsworthsharp420]

that's cool, but we are still slaves playing the slave game

Solution: End the State. Global Anarchism

google: The Venus Project. / The Zeitgeist Movement

[BATCH420]

keep trying....

[lampchin57]

amen ron

amen

[liike28]

Hah! Thompson is like... "what????" RP is way above Thompson...and the rest of the Republican party.

[lampchin57]

amen

[Jakeblood240]

All I'm saying is Ron Paul would do better not to eliminate himself by debating finer points with people who MOSTLY agree with him.

Certainly on domestic issues. Republicans would be mostly improved in finding room for conservative libertarians and social conservatives.  Rather than fighting each other and letting Pelosi run the show. Can we agree on that much?

By the way, I wasn't a supporter of Bush as he was NO conservative. The only thing I did support was the war on terror and Iraq.

[Jakeblood240]

I agree, no war for profit .

Ron Paul people show such intelligence in other matters but are so ignorant of the war in Iraq. Its okay to love the man and disagree with his assertions on Iraq.

Do me a favor and check out the real reasons for the war besides liberal talking points:

search you tube: Hitchens Vs. Alterman Debate Part 1/6

Watch it as it explains the real reasons for the war...sorry not enough room here. There's only enough room if you care to say "haliburton' or whatever.

[return135]

Ron Paul knows the economy better then any politician and for that matter even some economists. So for Fred to laugh show how dumb he is.

[fraudgov]

a good man sorrounded by evil men

[bbenjers]

Say what you want about Ron Paul, but no one ever called him "dumb as hell."

[bbenjers]

Proverbs says, "A fool finds no pleasure in understanding, but delights in airing his opinion."

[OneEyedPony]

Fred Thompson is a Moron and the FOOLS laughing in the background. My Oh My, Lazy Fred has done a 180 turn. Ron Paul once again has to school these NEOCON political Silver-Tongued Devils.

Typical for the Political shortsightedness of all these Washington DC politicians or should I say "Corporate Whores".

Don't blame me for this mess, I Voted For RON PAUL!

[goma3]

Funny enough how Thompson just made a recent video actually defending most of points that Ron Paul talked about years ago. When the sky is falling, everybody becomes a prophet.

[metalmike06]

I know, I was laughing at the end of Fred's video when he starts talking about inflation and printing money...I then started remembering this very debate.

[YazDawg]

same

[ourgreatcountry]

I saw Fred's recent video on this as well. I wish he had the spine then to stand in the truth.

[Jakeblood240]

You all don't get it...oh Ron Paul's a prophet, please. This was before the bailout you kooky Paulers. He's not talking about recession or anything else, he's talking about health care and Iraq...completely different issue. Ron Paul lost cuz his nutty foreign policy rants...which is what this is, again. I can show you plenty of videos of Fred talking about mortgaging our futures...no, Ron Paul didn't invent it. Its called context you Ron Paul robots.

[ferrozm]

actually in some of his speeches to congress Ron Paul did predict the bail outs and he also predicted the Georgia Russia debacle and the housing crisis. you need to do more reading you fucking idiot.

[Jakeblood240]

He talked about printing money and the Fed for sure. However, if he thinks that Iraq is responsible for the financial crisis hes just wrong.

Look, I can't stand Obama and the democrats, and aside from his foreign policy stance, I would vote for RP in a SECOND.

I take issue with the context of these comments, that RP was lecturing everyone about money problems as if they don't know. Many did and they were right. I hate that RP people exclude everyone with their high and mighty attitudes.

[ferrozm]

He never said that Iraq was responsible for the financial crisis. However, both Iraq and the crisis are merely symptoms of the FEDs ability to create money out of thin air.

I only try to exclude people who will dilute our message with war mongering other than that no. Those who believe the govt knows best how to control the economy and other countries domestic affairs are the "high and mighty" ones

[Jakeblood240]

Fair enough.

Perhaps, scaling back our military presence around the world would be a good idea.

I just disagreed with leaving Iraq at the time. However, the day will come and perhaps our tradition of having bases all over the globe has come to an end.

I just think it's more complicated, with a global economy, than the simple answer of reducing our military budget.

[irival]

Nutty foreign policy rants?

Who are you trying to fool, yourself?

George Bush coerced/forced/and lied us into a war with Iraq...A HUGELY unpopular war. (ie...we had no business there.)

This war has cost 900 BILLION. (Mostly paid to Bush and Cheney's friends in Halliburton)

Our first ~Bailout~ cost 750 BILLION....

I'll wait while you do the math and assimilate that info.

[Fernoe]

i heard the war on iraq cost 3 trillion. either way it's a huge amount of money spent which doesn't seem to be justified by what we got out of it.

[Jakeblood240]

Thats not true. Congress voted for the war almost unanimously (not quite, but almost).

The deficit will be almost 9 trillion in 8 years. I'll let YOU do the math.

I can point to dozens of entitlements that would dwarf the spending on the war. The military budget = 17% and entitlements are around 60% How is that for math?

[irival]

Ron Paul is not a prophet. He is an honest man with integrity who TELLS THE TRUTH as he sees it.

The powers that existed behind government were afraid of him. That's why he was marginalized by THEIR controlled media so his campaign could not gain a mainstream foothold.

If his foreign policy is "nutty"....I'M A NUT.

A nut who believes America SHOULD NOT wage war for profit.

[Sangimino81kg]

@goma3 Lol no, he didn't. Nice sourceless comment with 21 thumbs from brainless idiots though.

[goma3]

@Sangimino81kg

Too bad you have the habit of replying to comments that are 2 years old, otherwise I would have given you the link as well as time and date of the referred video. Now who knows where that is.

But since was over 2 years ago and Fred Thompson has disappeared into oblivion, who cares?

And don't troll comments just bc they are highly rated, specially not ones that are over 2 years old. You can't expect to poster to remember, heck he/she might even be dead

[RonPaulGeorgeRingo]

Out of control BORROW & spend goes back decades. The current leverage crisis is just the LATEST example - the straw that FINALLY BROKE the camel's back. Don't forget, MANY warned about the DANGEROUS LONG TERM consequences back in the 80's, when Reagan took this CREDIT CARD approach to governing, injected it with steroids, & essentially made it PSEUDO conservative dogma, the NATIONAL RELIGION!

Ron Paul was right - in 1988, & in 2008. His LOST party (& country) ignored him. Shame.

[runleonrun]

Damn,I thought Thompson was about to shit his pants through the new asshole that Ron just tore him!

[amartin7889]

Printing a lot of money to pay for a massive debt worked really good for the Germans after WWI.

[overmind25]

Fred Thompson needs to take a basic economics course! The larger the supply of money there is and the less it is demanded foreignly, the less the currency is worth!

[engine2truck6]

His lesson is on its way. Paid for by the us taxpayer.

[ferrozm]

"keep trying"

[bluemangos]

why didnt americans vote for ron paul? Are americans really that retarded?

[ferrozm]

yes.

[drunkenboxer1985]

yes

[vincentvendetta1]

Media pretty much trashed him calling him the Sanjaya of the race. I like this guy.

[stickplayer2]

All too often. Retarded=not looking, either at the facts or even checking if what a candidate says is true, or makes sense. Sadly, any population gets the government it deserves, if only by failing to push aside a bad government. Any population, in total, is more powerful than its government because in the end it includes the people who form government and military who are not yet complete robots.

[punk19777]

yes they are the media controls americans

[cooljj82]

No wonder he was the first out.

Those laughing to this legitimate explanation certainly don't have any explanation of their own. That commentators can do that is new to society and our media is entertainment not journalism, turn them off-don't buy the products they advertise. Fuck those guys.

[jwka2001]

Fred Thompson is a fucking idiot. God i wish he would fucking die like the rest of the fucks

[oaklandjj19]

The best quote so far came from Rudy saying " comming from someone who lived through the attacks of 9/11" he is the biggest piece of shit out there! mccain is a fucking moron and has no idea on anything no one wants Ron Paul because theyll lose their jobs and be forced to compete with all the immigrants in america we need to stand together and get rid of these fucking people RON PAUL 08 WRITE HIM IN !!!!!

[kabrams20]

fred thompson sounds like he just woke up

[meleniumshane90]

Finally someone realizes this! Ron Paul is still serverely misguided.

[Buzztootight1990]

how in the hell is ron paul misguided? ron paul has been the only man running in this election who actually understands the constitution and what his duty would be as president.

he is the only person who truly understands what is wrong with our economy, and the only person who can fix what dubya did to us.

[russia21]

it's not easy for Americans to understand basic concepts. Americans are brainwashed puppets

[mucast]

No wonder Thompson is out!

[BLAGASPANTS]

Its fucking simple, you don't spend trillions of dollars on illegal wars that only get certain politicians and business men rich and with those trillions of dollars you sort your people out with a good health system amongst other things. Not very hard to understand is it you horrible lying bunch of corporate brainwashing bastards. Fucking hate the lot of them.

[BLAGASPANTS]

Why do the media laugh as if Ron Paul is talking shit, and why do they act like they don't get what he is saying. Fucking shocking, all the brain dead fucks in the US will be watching that thinking Ron Paul is talking shite, when he is the only one talking any fucking sense.

Thompson " let me get this, you stop printing money to get out the war ".. acting dumb cos he knows what Ron Paul is saying is the truth.

USA WAKE THE FUCK UP.

[garylandy]

thompson is a real idiot, you dont stop printing money to get out of the war, you get out of the war in order to stop printing money which causes the great inflation... what an idiot.

vote RON PAUL!!!

[freedomusa101]

Thompson looked really bad, oh well, he's out of the race now. Hopefully his supporters will take a look at Dr. Ron Paul as an alternative.

[elitedragoon2115]

Fred Thompson quited the race!!!

He wasted people's time and money on his stupid ass.

[bigscolari]

It is truly magnificent that our next President will either be Mr. Barack Hussein Obama or Mrs. Hillary Clinton.

Barack Hussein Obama, being a former Muslim, may be kinder to Muslims and obviously Hillary loves Mexican immigrants and wants to target and help black people more.

Huckabee has absolutely no chance of winning as he is a moron and thankfully the media hate him.

[colinfranken]

Can someon please send Thompson accounting for Dummies what a M.....

[Repost]

[opticle108]

I think none of these candidates have any clue about economics or monetary policy (excluding Dr. Paul). The sad fact is, that neither do most Americans. Hopefully this is starting to change.

[mutedmajority]

THOMPSON RWNED!

[MMadmike]

As Dr Paul said to Thompson , keep trying to understand monetary policy you might wakeup.

Ignorant fools.

RP 08

[xylemphoenix]

Tax cuts are an illusion when they inflate the currency as they have.

[cajunatheist]

How can America even consider voting for such a fucking baffon. Fred Thomson is a joke, and American's show their ignorance by supporting him.

This country needs an enema!!

[jeremy837]

Romney in the least should understand monetary policy enough to side with Dr. Paul's stated view.

[gsuitter]

Fred Thompson is an economic moron.

[crazzyviet]

Thompson is an idiot! Trying to make fun of Ron Paul saying "if we dont print more money how are we gonna fund the war and provide health care". Wow Thompson does not understand the monetary system. The more money you print the more you hurt the currency. Thompson great actor but doesnt know jack about the economics.

[johanwolfe]

"Keep trying."

[cinnamoncluster]

lmao!

[labartic]

LOL spanked his assssssss, skeletor looking motherfucker

[Ayanami0001]

*trying hard not to laugh*

[JONtheBASSIST89]

wow i just laughed so loud when i hear that, thats the ron paul i like!

[daveho77]

Thompson's an idiot. He's funny at times but he's a bad actor and an even shittier politician. He knows nothing about economics or monetary policy, just like every other candidate in this election. RON PAUL is the ONLY choice, period.

[cs2excalibur]

Ron Paul FTW. Thomson is a respectable man thou. Unlike Rudy and Mitt and McCain and Mike

[kasdri]

thompson and the rest are a bunch of clowns ,

Ron Paul knows policy more than all these clowns.

[qstendious]

It is so utterly disgusting to hear those fascist cackling hyenas in the background. Making a mockery of facts and embracing fiction. Is that all they have left, elementary school tactics? Simply repulsive.

[landgsmith]

how true....sometimes when people here the TRUTH, their only defensive mechanism is to laugh...

[publius87]

Make sure you buy some gold and silver coins because clearly the next president will not rein in spending. I bought some gold in october when it was 680/oz... and now it is at 860/oz. If Thompson or any of the other dolts gets elected you can bet it will be at 1000/oz.

REAL Republicans abhor deficits and it is clear that Thompson thinks they're OK.

[sunbeam7]

Thompson is so dumb!

Duh! Any 6 yr old can comprehend that if we werent wasting TRILLIONS of dollars on the endless wars we obviously could be spending that money HERE in the USA on better things like health-care or environment.

[LawrenciumTradera]

Keep Trying - LOL!

[niginit]

he got it all wrong, what a pompus ass.

[Shalashaska315]

I concur. Thompson is the most prideful guy on stage. He thinks he should get the nomination just because he's Fred Thompson.

[niginit]

i know!hey how did i get a thumbs down?

thompson's problem was that he thought,he needs to go learn more before he gets to think again!

[Brak2002]

I think Ron Paul never had a cohesive argument during this debate. He would always take great leaps to connect issues that really have nothing to do with eachother. Connecting monetary policy with the war in Iraq? C'mon Paul... They were talking about healthcare. At least Fred Thompson had a consistent message of a Constitutional government.

[picardout]

hmm.. I in't see this part last night.. When did this happen?

[blaster575]

yeah keep laughing, the jokes on you thompson

[Carlitos1010]

The sad thing is, I think they don't have to keep trying, they understand everything Dr. Paul says is true. When the moment comes and they have to make the choice between money profits and us, they don't choose us.

[suexian]

Thompson = dolt.

[bluemonday2020]

I hope those two idiots Giuliani and McCain die from their cancer so I don't have to listen to their laughter anymore.

[taviacantarini]

"KEEP TRYING" One of the best lines of the night.

[bms7715]

"Keep trying" that was awsome. Great post
