Bill Maher Discusses Ron Paul with CNN's Anderson Cooper

[annebeck58]

HAHAHA

?? This is the party that LOVES JEEBUSS"

haha.

I Know. they should be ASHAMED IN SC for that ome. But, they don't know what they do it seems.

[Edgehead10075]

Huh? I don't even know what you just said there.

[Kitswain59]

The Constitution has some crazy ideas....oh pleeez

[BottleConcreteBlond]

@Kitswain59 You do realize that Ron Paul and the Constitution are different things, right?

[Kitswain59]

@BottleConcreteBlond When they say RP is crazy, they're saying the Constitution is crazy.

[Edgehead10075]

No. His interpretation of the Constitution is crazy, as are his views on healthcare. I hate to agree with Bill Maher, but he's right on that one.

[stealspell]

@Edgehead10075 "His interpretation of the Constitution is crazy". Somebody hasn't read the Constitution. And you call yourself a US Citizen? You should be ashamed of yourself.

[Edgehead10075]

Oh, shut up. I HAVE read the Constitution, and his interpretation of it is antiquated, and there's no one on the Supreme Court, liberal or conservative, who interprets the Constitution the same way as Ron Paul does. His interpretations of the general welfare and interstate commerce clauses would be laughed out of court. Even the founding fathers themselves disagreed with each other on what those clauses meant, so it's ludicrous for Ron Paul to act like only his view is correct.

[Edgehead10075]

We live in the twenty-first century, not the eighteenth century. The Constitution should be interpreted in a way that's befitting a twenty-first century society. That means that the government SHOULD be able to provide a social safety net because civilized, twenty-first century societies believe in that. Don't like it? Move to Somalia, or go back in time, assclown.

[stealspell]

"The Constitution should be interpreted in a way that's befitting a twenty-first century society." Who the fuck made made chancellor? I say the Constitution should be interpreted to cut your balls off and if you don't like it, you can just go fuck yourself. Let's take a founding document and make it subjective. Nice job asshole. Nice fucking job.

[Edgehead10075]

Sorry, but society and federal judges agree with me.

[Edgehead10075]

Okay, Mr. Strict Constructionist of the Constitution. Is the Air Force unconstitutional? Nowhere does the Constitution mention an Air Force. It only mentions the Army and Navy.

[stealspell]

@Edgehead10075 I'd give you a history lesson, but I really don't give a shit.

[Edgehead10075]

Yeah, whatever.

[Kitswain59]

@Edgehead10075 The Constitution limits the federal government of what they can do, and it doesn't permit them to get involved in healthcare. No more doctor/patient relationship with ObamaCare. It's a horrifying thought that DC bureaucrats can decide if you live or die. And btw, everything they get involved with the prices go up.

[Edgehead10075]

Wrong. The general welfare clause allows the federal government to get involved. Now I'm not in favor of bureaucrats deciding if you live or die, but there are people who can't afford health insurance, and the government should help them pay for it. BTW, we have government healthcare: Medicaid and Medicare, both of which are very popular programs. Ron Paul is naive to think that charities will take care of everyone who can't afford insurance; that's total nonsense.

[annebeck58]

@Edgehead10075 Again;  he does NOT believe it will be that way, NOW. he was only talking about how it used to be, when charities ran hospitals, when HE was an intern.

Cripes. You people make me CRAZY. Mahr was making a JOKE, and he may have been corrected by now. And, so have you been corrected. Listen to what Paul said in all debates about M;/Care. HE will protect it, unlike Obot or Rombot (esp RomBot, who stole from US)

[Edgehead10075]

Where are those charities now? I don't see them helping the millions without coverage. Ron Paul is looney, and Maher, for once, is right.

Seriously, what is your solution for people who can't afford insurance? Let them die?

Even if Obamacare is struck down, reforms will have to be made.

[annebeck58]

@Edgehead10075 Here's the thing. Ron Paul does NOT want to get rid of medicare OR medicaid. Romney DOES. Obama steals from medicare OFTEN. Romney was fined for MEDICARE FRAUD.

So, please get your facts straight. The only guy who's going to protect this is? RON PAUL.

[Edgehead10075]

Sarah Palin brought up death penals and was soundly criticized for it.

[briandrum1]

Not sure what debates Bill Maher has been watching, but I can't recall 1 debate when Ron Paul spoke about his foreign policy, and he got booed.

[2ruthfox82]

@briandrum1 SC debate, golden rule, on foreign policy did get booed... on another note maybe it was because SC was ranked 50th in education...

[briandrum1]

@2ruthfox82 Right you are! I completely forgot about that! And you're also right about their ranking in education....they may not really understand? derp? hehe

[jmnhowto]

@2ruthfox82 South Carolina is not 50th. That has been a fight between Louisiana and Mississippi since Reconstruction. Although maybe they deserve it.

[BringBRToTheUK]

@briandrum1 It was in the one when he said that he believed we shouldn't do unto other countries that which we would not like to be done unto us.

That was a fairly ironic repsonse from a Christian group, Maher is right.

[dewboy910]

@briandrum1 He was booed when he mentioned the Golden Rule while talking about foreign policy in the SC Debate.
