"America, Listen to Them" - Gov. Buddy Roemer Speaks Out About Occupy Wall Street

[esca8652]

Rocky Anderson 2012!! Nah I'm just joking.... Ron Paul 2012!!!!!

[Hmsheena12]

Paul has an awesome foreign policy and civil liberty policy but his economic policy is too extreme (no regulations at all? His spokespeople at my school were trying to convince me that we should get rid of the FDIC and stop insuring banks).

Also his Paulbots are really getting annoying, all they do is comment on videos and try to argue with everyone, then vote all their own comments up on every video

[esca8652]

@Hmsheena12 The reason why "Paulbots" are so persistent and dedicated is because Ron Paul represents freedom, and believing freedom is like believing in a religion. Vote for Buddy Roemer if you want. Please don't do any "lesser of the two evil" voting this presidential election though. We want REAL change.

[esca8652]

@Hmsheena12 I agree that deregulation is dangerous, but if we can throw this establishment out. You will see within a very short time period a huge shift in society's preferences toward products. Ron Paul would open the doors on renewable energy. We the people, would have to invest in it though.I believe that there is EASILY enough treehuggers (myself included) that would work to make renewable energy our dominant energy source faster than any ecological disaster from oil (if it should happen).

[esca8652]

@Hmsheena12 We don't need the government to achieve this either. In Germany, 51% of the country's renewable energy is owned by the CITIZENS. The people united with the same goals can mimic the actions of government programs better or equal to the government.

[pizzicatoiv]

Ron Paul thinks regulating money in politics is an infringement of liberty. Paulbots go away, the world is more complex than a set of clear choices which "honor the constitution." Libertarianism is easy when there are no conflicting interests.

@states37

Becuse those guys have billions to spend on their campaigns, they take money from corporations and pacs and they are corrupt. Buddy Roemer is the only honest candidate there is.

[dbraddillon]

@T662W379C I wouldn't say ONLY, Ron Paul!!! I do really like this guy, finally getting around to exhausting what media I can find on him.

[YoungIvyScholar]

Jon Huntsman 2012!

[rockylee3281]

Ron Paul takes special interest money! Could not vote for him!

[redhotRISPOLIpeppers]

Buddy Roemer, Gary Johnson, Ron Paul. The Oligarchy

[johncbat]

Simply put. Roemer is fighting for the people. Let's elect this guy.

[SchleckBros]

@rockylee3281 Paul is not bought by Wall Street. He is supported by we the people. He isn't bought by the special interests or the corporations. RON PAUL 2012

[soxfan0408]

@SchleckBros No but Paul also says the Voting Rights Act of 1964 was unconstitutional. There are some very good things Paul says, but also things that are downright crazy

[esca8652]

@soxfan0408 That's because Paul is an absolutist. If something violates the Constitution, then he won't vote on it. Ron Paul voted against the Civil Rights Act because it FORCED businesses to choose to let black people enter their business. This is all insignificant though. Ron Paul represents the change we need to destroy this failed establishment, bring us back to a Constitutional government, and create a sound Foreign policy.

[eddiestardust]

Governor Roemer is the ONLY candidate that is making sense right now, and America should listen to him!

We need to create JOBS not outsource America's future!

[danger370]

I love Ron Paul, but the liberal answer to fixing unfair trade is that the markets will work themselves out, as stated by Gov. Gary Johnson when he debated Buddy a week or two ago. Buddy is on a mission to end unfair trade in order to get our jobs back from China. GE wrote a tax code that allows corporations to write off the price of building and sending jobs overseas on our US taxes and paid no taxes. Several others are now doing the same. This isn't going to fix itself, I'm with Roemer!

[TAXlDRlVER]

Buddy and Ron Paul are diametrically opposite on globalization, but that's another debate. If anybody has an hour to spare, Buddy makes his position clear on c-spanvideo

[states37]

See, I like this guy. Why isn't this guy getting any real exposure from the media and not dummies like Cain and Perry?

[AntumDeluge]

Go Buddy! And get Ron Paul as your running mate! And if Paul gets in there, you've got to be his!

[edandmer62]

I am not in the job market , if I had a student loan however, and could not pay it back on account of the lack of jobs and political leadership in DC . I most likely be one of them.I am for free markets and capitalism not self interest and greed by some , that have stop the american dream.

[sys49512]

He is fighting symptoms - Washington needs a real Doctor: Ron Paul

[danger370]

@sys49512 You are incorrect, Money is the root of the problem, and Roemer takes no PAC money and no donation over $100. Corruption is the root and Ron Paul as much as I like him, by taking PAC money falls in with the rest. (Real) doctors work on broken bones, Roemer is the only candidate that has a degree in economics and finance. He made a billion dollar bank and didn't foreclose on a single homeowner or business, while not taking bailout money.

[skier137]

This is a great ad. However, my advice to Governor Roemer is this; you and Gary Johnson should withdraw from the race and endorse Ron Paul. We need to be united in this election, for too much is at stake. Roemer even stated to Wikinews that Ron Paul was his favorite GOP candidate.

[rjayz2]

@skier137 I've been thinking the same. I absolutely love Buddy's passion for fiscal responsibility. However, Ron Paul + Buddy Roemer 2012 would be REAL HOPE + CHANGE that we all voted for in 2008 but never received.

Yes, I'm a 'labeled democrat, voting GOP for Paul/Roemer in 2012.' big deal, priorities first.

Fiscal & Social responsibility not only needs to be fixed... it needs to begin!

[rockylee3281]

@skier137 - Problem with Paul is he has taken the big Wall Street Checks and won't be free to lead!!!

[chitownphilly21]

@skier137 ron paul is an idiot and a 1%. He is a horrible choice. Wake up!

[KyleKJune]

@skier137 Roemer has stated over and over again, he doesn't agree with Ron Paul on many things. I personally would only vote republican if Buddy Roemer was the candidate. I would rather have Obama over Paul as president.

[maxx1000]

Buddy,

You are the only Republican in the field that actually makes sense.

No wonder the MSM (voice of the 1%) and their reporters (protectors of the 1%) want to silence you. You're honest and truthful. Keep it up.

[davidmrosenberg]

The E-Mail I received said "Governor Roemer does not endorse everything they stand for" and the signs shown in the video didn't include any of the anti-semitic slogans that some protesters were promoting. It would be good for Buddy Roemer to explicitly and forcefully repudiate the anti-semitism being expressed by some of the Occupy protesters.

[maxx1000]

@davidmrosenberg

OWS does NOT tolerate racism of any sorts.

STOP propagating a LIE!

[soxfan0408]

@davidmrosenberg the antisemitism in the movement is so ridiculously small. Many of the occupy protestors have condemned that language. it is not really a factor, the far right just wishes it was

[saltshaker98]

Buddy is the ONLY candidate to serve in the private sector, Congress, and as a Governor.

[coolmamac]

@saltshaker98 I love Ron Paul, but Buddy is a problem solver. I am going to have to vote for him. He is heads above the rest of the other candidates in getting things done.

[rilogenes]

Since I'm in SC, i can't vote for Buddy. I have put lots of effort into this campaign myself personally, and I would just like to say that this video is top-of-the-line, knock-it-in-the-head spot on! Go Buddy! Your message is not dead in SC!

[danger370]

@rilogenes Write him in please, you will still be able to do that and make a difference.

[222billp]

Good Luck Buddy ! you got my vote !

[LungisMaximus]

BADASS!

[theantiantihero]

Gov. Roemer is the one person in this race who refuses to be bought. I've waited my entire adult life for a candidate who would challenge our "pay to play" system. Buddy is the one.

[peamac100]

Americans need to get behind this man or at least listen to him...it can't hurt to listen

[rjayz2]

Buddy, you are 'winning' !!

[EdotAnonymous]

You have my vote.Obama wouldn't dare stand up to you in a debate on campaign finance issues...and it's sad that his "hope" message was diluted by millions donated by wallstreet firms I.e Goldman sachs

[coolmamac]

@EdotAnonymous You've got that right!

[Nigomsa]

Awesome vid Buddy, You're the only sensible candidate in the running, sharing this on FB, keep it up.
