Ron Paul on 'GMA': A Candidate for President (May 13, 2011)

[dethcorebree]

why? why the fuck now u dumb ass reporter

[bccdddeef]

If politics concerned itself primarily with logic, then Dr Paul wouldn't necessarily be voted in, but the issues he raises -- of financial crisis, empire building, big government, and etc etc -- would be of much greater concern to media and other candidates. Logic has little to do with the political scene. Logic is weak against clever rhetoric, for most television-watchers who operate on the cranial frequency of dogs and other trainable creatures.

[bccdddeef]

People begin to believe that Dr Paul is of poor thinking, he's senile, or just insane. But really he's just a poor conversationalist. Logic carries very little weight for most people. They take their cues in body language, tone of voice, how long one speaks for, etc. And Dr Paul's message is all conveyed by logic. Most of it is above the average person, it would seem. People understand Dr Paul is being socially overpowered. Of course it's more of a low-blow, really.

[bccdddeef]

Dr Paul's greatest weakness is rhetoric. Meaning basically the way he conducts himself socially. Predators like Stepanopoulos are masters of conversation. From the beginning of this interview Stephanopoulos is incredibly dismissive. Body language and tone of voice suggest a contempt for Dr Paul. He distrusts Dr Paul. It's difficult to pin Stephanopoulos because his rhetoric is subtle. He doesn't say anything quote-worthy but he insinuates a lot, which you notice in Youtube comments.

[chopin999]

love paul message, we need to vote for him and not these candidates that will only make sure their special interests group richer

[NYSEGOP]

Listen to this buffoon. It took him like 10 seconds to answer why he's running for president.

[MayoPie]

@NYSEGOP That is because there are delays in satellites. Camera/mic signals are not perfect.

[TheTheLydiakwano]

@NYSEGOP takw it easy man.. it's not a live interview.. prob the delays in satallites or signal thing..

[pdv022]

@NYSEGOP It's satelite delay and...you don't ask people why you run for president. DUHHH

[Privat3Kag3]

Ron Paul isn't a Republican, he's a common sense.

[DemonSesshyy]

@Privat3Kag3 Ok I love ron paul but wtf jus u say LOL

[Privat3Kag3]

@DemonSesshyy What??? You kinda lost me there...

[sinceilostmytooth]

Mitt Romney is a joke.

[rbthorneaquila]

Where has Ron Paul told the truth, that there were demolition charges in the World Trade Center buildings, that 9/11 was an inside job by some people in the U.S. and Israeli Mossad, that the two wars are based on Big Lies, and that we're living under Big Lies as bad as Nazi Germany ever committed? I don't trust any of them, at all. The people had better wake up and stand up for the truth. An attack on Iran means World War 3, and this is the plan off some of these liars and warmongers.

[pathfindercrasher]

@rbthorneaquila I can respect your right to your opinion but the things you've stated are close but incorrect about Ron Paul's position. And it may not be your fault 'cause you might have read or heard them from various media sources who tend to exaggerate and/or misquote the candidates. I won't try to convince you but I will ask you to take the time to watch the videos where you can hear it directly from him. Cheers. USA 2012!!!

[AdamRainStopper]

The smug look on this demagogue's face makes me want to offer him an in-house interview in my basement dungeon. Never again would that face be smirking across the screen while ridiculing someone for criticizing imperialism. I want to smash his face in.

[JagerFrostTroll]

ABC is NOT news. Just like Fox, TV watching America are becoming the Governments drones. Ron Paul 2012

[drag4630]

@JagerFrostTroll ABC is ran by the illuminati the try to control what you hear

[Kittie547]

What has the this world come to. The words asshole and journalist are interchangeable these days.

[puttefnask]

How does one go on television every day and try so hard to appear as a douchebag?

[toThe9thPower]

@puttefnask who? Ron Paul? he is not a douche bag, he is right about everything. We are not supposed to be the police of the world. Yet we are? why? we don't need 900 bases around the world in 130 countries. It is making us go broke

[puttefnask]

@toThe9thPower I was talking about the news guy. I'm all about Ron Paul. Been a consistant follower since 2006. =)

[toThe9thPower]

@puttefnask thank God. I probably would of face palmed so hard I would of knocked myself unconscious

[Ihateregistrations1]

Thank you for not letting george stephanopoulos talk Dr. Paul.

[MinisterAilingTongue]

Stephanie is a crap head.

[Ihateregistrations1]

I hate this george stephanopoulos faggot. He doesn't deserve to have his name capitalized.

[kj369kj]

compared to everyone else, this guy seems like he knows what he's doing, and takes logical stand points. Even with his answers he takes a few seconds to think about it before speaking.

[WisKidUnity]

Most of the republican candidates are complete idiots.

Ron Paul is a smart guy and he has a good grasp on the problems that face America.

But his solutions are just crazy.

We already tried Ron Pauls form of government. Its called Feudalism and its a few ruling billionaires and oligarchs ruling all the serfs.

No education, social safety net, minimum wage.

All the power in the hands of a few and you are "free" to wallow in your own poverty, disease, and ignorance as long as you work cheap.

[loganator56]

Ron Paul for president would be good for the United States!

[ThEuNkNoWn9999999]

funny how he is not president yet he makes more sense. why is that?

[RonPaulTRUTH]

Ron Paul knew what he was doing...Don't let snuffaluffagus speak. It's wasted airtime.

[OrogDeMalfur]

lol that news announcer can sit on a fat dick, cuz he keeps trying to interupt ron

[AshleySchafferBMW]

RON FUCKIN PAUL BABY

[MrTitiez]

Restore America Now!



[jjjbot1]

Paul has offered legislation (H.R. 3216) to authorize Bush to issue “letters of marque and reprisal” to those private citizens or entities that want “to seize outside the geographic boundaries of the United States and its territories the person and property of Osama bin Laden, ... responsible for the air piratical aggressions and depredations perpetrated upon the United States of America on September 11, 2001,” or future attacks.

This would have been so much cheaper than 2 foreign wars.

[TheFordv10]

Lets go Paul 2012!

[MrParkerclrk]
