Attn:  Schiff is NOT a neocon...YAY!!

[libertyplayground]

dont worry about schiff.

[iannetta11]

PETER SCHIFF 2010 !!!

[nurser11]

please kick dodd's ass..

[dougeastman]

why "republicans".. I'd vote for you and I'm usually a more liberal/democrat voter. I hate to tell ya but I don't think many people really understand our economy (and therefore what you're talking about) and that's why you aren't very popular. You offer something VERY different from your traditional dem/rep candidate.. don't let yourself get drawn into the two party battle.. you can't win.

[mardups]

I would just like Peter to clarify his stance on foreign policy, then I can make an educated decision on whether I vote for him or not (I live in CT). Given the alternatives and my agreement with his economic policy I would likely vote for Mr. Schiff anyway.

[ChiefRocka01]

@mardups Given the candidates, how does this matter? His policy is likely Libertarian style; i.e. non-interventionist. I would guess that he would vote similarly to Ron Paul.

[mardups]

That's what I'm hoping/expecting. And you're right given the other candidates it really is a moot point.

[noogie123]

I have heard peter talk a bit on foriegn policy before, ie. the the war in afghanistan etc. he basically said the US needs to bring its troops home, because there isn't enough money (linking everything back to economics as he often does) and we need to fix our own country etc. WHich would suggest he is in support of a non-interventionalist foriegn policy.

[358Liberty]

He is Jewish however I don't know if he is a neocon, he doesn't sound like one. What's his stance on Israel and foreign and milatary aid?

[michaelpshipley1]

using ethnicity to judge someone's is just being lazy; you dont want to do the work of learning about the person so you say, oh, he's jewish or she's italian, so he or she must be this way or that. schiff and bernanke are polar opposites yet they are both jewish. it just doesn't work.

[scarecrowhcn]

You are a closet neocon. I've been following you for a couple years now and I lost faith in you when you spoke about bombing Iran if they had nuclear weapons. Logically you would want to bomb Israel too, right?

You are a fraud.

[residentzombie]

Why do you either believe 100% of what a person says or disbelieve them 100%. Nobody is 100% right or wrong and many intelligent people change their point of view as more factors get brought up to them. Only ignorant fools either totally agree or totally disagree with everything that someone says.

[aiursrage]

Where did you see that?

[ChiefRocka01]

@scarecrowhcn Performing a surgical strike against a threat and then leaving the area is different than invading and a country. And he did not say "if Iran had nuclear weapons." What he said was more along the lines of if we are threatened by Iran and we request to search a specific location and we are denied permission, then we should "blow the place up." That isn't neocon. On the contrary, it is Jeffersonian. Research Jefferson's involvement in the "Barbary Wars." You will see the parallels.

[mardups]

Peter, I'm a huge supporter of yours. However, I just watched this video: watch?v=73vVEY8zNCE you made a comment regarding nuclear weapons in Iran where you state: "If they dont let us in, just blow the place up." Could you clarify this comment? I think this could be detrimental to your campaign as it advocates a NeoCon foreign policy. Thanks Peter! I love your views on the economy, but disagree wholeheartedly on that type of foreign policy and would like you to clarify your stance.

[michaelpshipley1]

i think people mistake libertarians for pacifists. libertarians are not pacifists. as a matter of fact you dont want to mess with libertarians. if you attack them they will do whatever it takes to defend themselves; no rules, no geneva convention, all out war. you got flame throwers and the nukes? bring it on cause we gottem too. they just dont believe in creating a big government empire to run the world.

[AtlasShruggery]

With his Euro Pacific Fund in the toilet, it's no wonder Schiffty Pete is looking for another line of work.

[AmericanValues321]

in what way is europacific in the toilet. please bring facts

[ChiefRocka01]

@AtlasShruggery Lies. Do you have any facts to back up this statement?

[emp0rizzle]

it's in the toilet due to "losses" from market conditions from over one year ago when the dollar miraculously bounced up after being clobbered for years. Actually no it's just a retard regurgitating something he doesn't have a clue about. It's not like there were any gains in overseas market since, or that gold which hit the mid 700s didn't make record highs.

[AtlasShruggery]

Being short the market in March 2009 probably didn't help the fund either.

[thirdcoastguy]

President Obama predicts US Bankruptcy. Check this out on Jberni1 Youtube site.

[michaelpshipley1]

self fulfilling prophecy.

[rikestard]

Yea i missed it, good looking out Peter. I'd love to volunteer for you:}

[socomplete]

not a good idea to call anybody that early lol

[SENTRY000]

Hey peter, is there anyway a Canadian like myself can help out?

I always like helping out our neighbors south of the border. I believe the united states greatly contributes to the successful of both countries.

[Panpiper]

I second that question. I'd be on the phone bank if I was a US citizen.

[pwoznic]

You don't buy gold to make a quick buck. You buy it to secure your future because the Federal Reserve is run by a bunch of corrupt statists.

[nikmarkwell]

Please explain the 1:1 stock market to gold theory.

[stoneeh]

it was there 2 times before when either gold rallied or stocks collapsed or both - in particular 1930 and 1980. just makes sense that it should go there again, but my personal prediction is that it might go noticeably higher, because more factors are at work this time

[zappos49]

Gold is about 1,100. Say the Dow goes up and is 11,000. The ratio is 1 to 10. He says that one day it will be 1 to 1. So maybe gold 5,000 bucks and Dow 5,000

[residentzombie]

a 1:1 ratio will never happen unless we have hyper inflation to the USD. Then you won't care about getting dollars for your gold.

[PairoftheSocks]

gold is having a small correction! Now is the time to by before it goes back up again.

[AmericanValues321]

IF they ask me about details...I just simply let them know that Peter has long been a true advocate of liberty and the free market and then I direct them to the website furth info..then I go back on script.

[AmericanValues321]

making phone calls ..kinda fun

[residentzombie]

Keep in mind too people, many of us are aware of what the New World Order is, but it is important not to get into United Nation conspiracies. You will polarize the voters if you start talking about that stuff. Keep to the basics of the economy. Peter and the Pauls don't talk about the New World Order because of this fact.

[StuGibson]

Peter, what about voters that don't have internet access or aren't computer savvy? Some of the older population like to have printed information. Will you be sending out flyers or memos to the Republican voters in CT? It doesn't seem fair to call up a Republican voter and direct them to the website to look up your stance on issues or to YouTube for some of your speeches when they may not have access or knowledge of how to do so.

[Voy2378]

@StuGibson

very good point.

[SchiffReport]

We will be doing direct mail and radio and TV spots. In the mean time just tell them my story.

[AtlasShruggery]

"We tell the Iranians: This is where we think those weapons are, you need to let our inspectors in there. If they dont let us in, just blow the place up. - Peter Schiff November 19, 2009

Spoken like a true neocon.

[emp0rizzle]

@AtlasShruggery

a true neo-con would put boots on the ground to drag out the war for the benefit of private contractors who get overpaid billions in no-bid contracts to rebuild everything that got just got blown up.

[koki4o]

Where exactly did he say that? I'd like to know.

[AtlasShruggery]

In Woodberry, Connecticut about a month ago.

You can either google "Peter Schiff Advocates Neocon Foreign Policy" or you can watch it on the You Tube video titled "SCHIFF on National Security".

Sadly, Schiffty Pete is just another fearmongering neocon Republican politician a la Dick Cheney.

[FUZZYisBIG]

@AtlasShruggery

Oh wow, really? Are you down to quote mining? Read the article in its entire context.

[Vunks2000]

@AtlasShruggery Really? Defending this country is being a neocon?

Turn off Alex Jones.

[AtlasShruggery]

Nah. Unprovoked attacks against a country which is not an imminent threat to the US, as Schiffty Pete has advocated, is "being a neocon"

[caltrop69]

@Vunks2000

Shruggery is just a troll. Don't pay it any mind.

[chroNick546]

By the way, I read the script. I haven't called anyone yet, but it sounds like if we read that, it comes on a bit too strong. Shouldn't we at least ask, "Can I take a moment of your time?" or something along those lines? Or would you rather not ask at the risk of them hanging up before having a chance to introduce your campaign?

[residentzombie]

The currency collapsing is more important than coming off too strong. These are drier times for Americans to understand what inflation is and who is causing it. I haven't read the script, but the key when calling is to sound like you aren't reading and come off as you are talking with people, not at them.

[chroNick546]

lol, then you might want to read the script before you make such a remark. Coming off the wrong way can have an adverse impact on what you want to accomplish. Do we want to risk that?

[residentzombie]

Could you send me a copy so I could review it? Trust me I have been a very successful telemarketer most of my life. I understand that Peter doesn't want us offending people, but just by calling someone you are offending them.

[Thrice13]

Hey Schiff, you really need to start traveling more and visiting the state like Rand Paul is. He is leading in the polls right now, and you very well should be too! You can easily accomplish this by getting out there more. Cheers.

[KeanOOO]

He's travelling all around the place. There are a load of CTSchiffSupporter videos showing his meetings with various Republican groups.

[chroNick546]

You aren't in your suit Pete. I thought you slept with that thing on.

[MrSteve125]

Peter, it would be great if you could post a video with your views beyond the economy. The typical distraction subjects would be nice like education, healthcare, immigration, abortion, and foreign policy. I know the libertarian (lower case l) view but lets hear you articulate it in a relatable way to the average voter. Thanks

[ForTehNguyen]

he has an education/economy related video.  It's called "how govt programs drive college tuition" or something like that

[MrSteve125]

Thanks I checked that out.

[Chitownboy1023]

I will sabotage your campaign by calling in the wee hours.

[residentzombie]

Calling after 9 PM and before 8 AM is against the law. You want to be very receptive when calling others and very respectful. I just wish I could state Peter's points of view since I understand him almost 100% on the governments role and the economy in general. If Peter wants me to call for him I would be down, but I would need to be given more freedom to relay his message to the sheeple. Peter if you are interested in my services send me a message.

[residentzombie]

I'm a telemarketer of 6 years and have mad debate, rebutal, and coddling skills.

[Dyhalto10]

heh. In Mr. Schiff's position, I'd be hesitant to contact someone who claimed to have "mad skills".

[residentzombie]

A stance on the freedom to vier from a script is very important for most telemarketers.

[residentzombie]

Peter wants people to stick to the script and I would like to see if Peter would like someone who understands what it takes to run a successful telemarketing campaign. Like I said when people have questions (if you 100% know Peter's stance on the subject) it would be counter productive to direct people to the website. People are lazy and many if not most won't do it.

[residentzombie]

heh. In a Connecticut voter's position, I'd be hesitant to vote for someone who claim to 'have predicted the mortgage crisis' and not know how they view many important issues which Peter has made in previous vlogs. An average CT voter will not spend hours viewing Peter's vlogs.

[texxta]

hahahaha

[dbman086]

Ill try and do what i can here in oregon.

[mythrail]

Odd, I thought I was the only libertarian in Oregon :)

[AmericanValues321]

mostly everybody is a libertarian at heart ...just to brain washed to know it

[AUX999]

Sure, but if the government was smaller, we paid less taxes, and paid the majority to our state, we would have more money to be philanthropists in our community rather then libertarian. That is why at heart I am a libertarian. So I can distribute my excess in my community. Not for the governmnet to redistribute for me losing half of it along the way and supporting things that are unconstitutional and that I don't support. Money goes to where the people see it is most important, not gove whim.

[dbman086]

its wednesday hahahahahah

[lvecsey]

The banks are a shell and it's the "hitting them from all angles" that was responsible for keeping them going. So in hindsight this will be looked back upon as a minimal of effort done from all sides to get a proper result.

Having watched the money as debt video on Google I still don't like the long term outlook though. It just seems like a class separation tool with the banks and citizens as pawns to the larger financial instruments.

[Halonkata]

Cool haircut :)

[cloudstrife543]

Shut down the database at 9pm est. That sounds easy enough to do to me.

[SchiffReport]

I am trying but so far it can not be done.

[IAmHilarious]

Peter, I have found a way to turn fiat money into gold. But it always keeps turning back into fiat money again, then into bread. What should I do?

a) Buy bread company stocks

b) Buy gold stocks

c) Buy paper stocks

or

d) Send Bernanke love letters.

Thankyou in advance.

[adsense1]

Citi gets all the tax breaks bro.....I am done....You can do nothing...........Ron Paul can do nothing,,,,,,Rand Paul can do nothing.....All that is left is the certainty of a bullet....It is time for death it is time for blood.....Bernake is time magazines man of the year......It is time for bullets....It is time for blood...and...Register 4 and 7 times the pulp....Click the purse and begin the 7-10 split.

[diipadaapa1]

Send this video to everyone you know!

[fazadeset]

Peter today is Wednesday !!!!!

[senses2000]

Anyone who understands that there is something wrong with our government, should vote for Peter Schiff, Ron Paul, Dennis Kucinich, Jim Bunning, Louie Gohmert, Jim DeMint, Bernard Sanders, Judy Biggert, Bill Posey, and Alan Grayson. Who else out there is willing to vote out the shadow government (the FED). Who will "End the Ben"?

[kihjin]

peter, your dial for votes video has 275 votes, this isn't consistent with the 572 views that youtube is reporting. i'd wager that the video has been view more times.

[143DREWID]

Schiff,

please stop saying "anyway"

not good; for you

[RCinPAWA]

Who do you think you are, anyway?

[143DREWID]

A contributor

a client

a volunteer

anyway...

see how "anyway" lessens value and impact of message...?

[RCinPAWA]

Well, anyway . . . .

[Atoyota]

I saw both

[dave997]

i donated $500 from capital gains i made on my GDX i sold some last month around 54, i bought it at 32. I think you deserved some of the profit since you are the only reason i bought it, and i made a ton of money! Thank u Peter and goodluck

[loudsilence321]

i watched both :DDDD

[cofree22]

It's Wednesday morning, lol

[Intervene]

Go Peter. Chillin at home. lol.

[BlacksAreBeautiful]

Peter, as a candidate for Senate, do you have views on anything else besides the economy? I fully appreciate the critical nature of the economy, but lets face it, there are potential voters out there that have no interest or no real understanding of the economy and how it works. Bottom line, there are other issues out there that are important. Education comes to mind really quickly.

[herbs814]

Schiff has already explained that the government involvement in education is the problem for why education costs are so high and quality is so low. Union monopolies over government schools degrade the quality of education. And government subsidies cause the prices to soar beyond the reach of many families. The best course is to get the government OUT of education. When the taxpayers aren't forced to subsidize inadequate government education they can afford better alternatives for their children.

[latewire]

If people knew his views on other issues, he'd never be elected.

Peter is basically a libertarian. Visit "LP" dot "org" if you don't know what that means.

[Robert697]

latewire .. it means you're a spammer, you troll

Why don't you spell out right here what it means to be a libertarian instead of spamming your website?

[latewire]

Dear genius,

"LP" dot "org" is NOT my website, it is the website of THE LIBERTARIAN PARTY.

You can feel free to attempt to explain what a libertarian is in 500 characters. Good luck with that.

Want proof libertarian views are unpopular? see ron paul's presidential poll numbers.

I AM a libertarian, but you've got to be realistic: The economy is the only issue Schiff is aligned with voters on, as the majority of voters are idiots.

-LW

[bertly71]

If the economy is not repaired, none of these other issues will matter. We are heading toward bankruptcy as a nation. If the economy gets fixed, many of these other concerns will correct themselves.

[Shaunt1]

You deserve to win!

[partyhouse88]

hahahahahahahahah

[imitator777]

No, it's Wednesday....learn how to spell....Schiff get some sleep man. LOL.

[ArchaicRevivalx2012]

Take that letter 's' and...

[happyrichie]

1st bitch!

[ArchaicRevivalx2012]

It's Wedneday.
