TPMtv: TPMtv Highlight Reel: FOX News Republican Forum

[istanbul18]

Hey! Where is Ron Paul??!?!

[adamaxiom]

they sound like amateurs.

[GrandOldPete]

I agree, It's unacceptable to exclude Ron Paul from debates. I hardly believe it can happen in a free society. Ron Paul is a really good and honest man, although clearly believes America's international position is like in the early nineteens. That's the only problem with him.

[kswiatlo]

Fox said there was no room in the studio for Ron Paul. Have a look -- a lot of room there. They just picked a small table to exclude RP.

[GrandOldPete]

I'm not American, can't vote on primaries, so don't be afraid!:)

[GrandOldPete]

Whoo, I'm afraid of myself. I am more and more supportive toward McCain. Romney is the Republican John Kerry. He was against Reagan, for abortion, for gays, and now he tries to sell himself as the only true conservative.I like Huck, but he's weak on national sec. and economy. I like Fred Thompson, but I don't think he will win the nomination. Rudy can only talk about his NY experience. Ron Paul knows nothing about foreign affairs and the Mideast. Is it possible I will support McCain???

[intarwebzz]

wait a minute, where's ron paul? they look like the fox sunday nfl setup; i can't help but think that's not a coincidence.

[mogzy]

I like Huckabee the best of this lot.

[Randomambusher]

Oh man - I love seeing Republicans out-asshole each other.

[swankrecords]

I love it when Mitt squirms. Hot and nasty.

At least we know that 99% of these candidates will not be elected.

VOTE RON PAUL FOR PRESIDENT!

[AndyInsane515]

FUCK FOXnews!!! RON PAUL AINT EVEN THERE!!!

[7thStreetSaints]

they excluded Paul because "the studio/table isn't big enough".

isn't Murdoch like a rich motherfucker though?

[milkmantx]

I think this video should be renamed The Kings Of Comedy!! hahaha!!

[Alz21]

what garbage. Don't let any of these criminal and dishonest candidates fool you.

[GTOJudge68]

Fox's reason for not allowing Ron Paul into this forum was because they were holding the forum in a modified bus with very limited room. Does this look like a modifed bus? Looks like they have plenty of room to have another person or two. Fox News is pathetic.

[roullettechick]

Huck has got a good sense of humor but got the rest of these fools are full of it esp that Romney nut. RON PAUL over these monkey asses!

[Rsd79]

To quote Redstateupdate:

Huckabee? Fuck me!

[videostuf]

if a republican talks on fox, do they make a sound?

[DBradford07]

Huckabee at 5:25 - "The fact is I don't care what the rest of the world thinks, I care what America thinks."

Precisely why I won't be voting for a Republican.

[ColorfulSundays]

Not all Republicans are like this.

These candidates are FOX NEWS favorites...

They did a good job in blurring the picture again...

Vote for you know who in 2008 !

[Gilliatt83]

fuck fox and there candidates. and the people who believe them

[mrssharp]

haha Huckabee is the only one that wants to get rid of taxes! He doesn't want to get rid of them he wants to screw over the people who don't pay taxes right now with the Fair Tax. His "get rid of the IRS" is a new thing he stole from Ron Paul.

[AC101666]

The American economy? Fix it with Romney!!!

Mitt Romney for President.

[Hukeshy]

romney is sooo out...

[RobDSmart]

hahahaha "these people"

we are all people.

[Ender1zero1]

smarmy every single time I listen to these guys smarmy is the only thing that stands out

[JONSLIMAK]

is this for real?

c'mon... smarten up america!!!! NOW!!!!

[snarkwaupaca]

I'm an Obama supporter but the fact that these hacks would not allow Ron Paul on this stage is at best negligent and at worst a fraudulent dereliction of media responsibility.

[columbusclipper]

Nice comment. Can I ask you why you support Obama instead of Paul?

[snarkwaupaca]

While I tend left-libertarian there are a few things that Obama has that Paul does not: Health care, Environment, Immigration, Foreign Policy, Pro-Choice. Much of the other stuff is a draw: War,Ethics, Fiscal, Love of Constitution. Paul Wins on farm policy. Oh I nnow all the paulites are going to want a 3 page defense of my views....

[columbusclipper]

Makes sense. I tend left-libertarian too. Don't worry, no 3 page defense needed! You make sense to me! Here's why I'm voting for Paul: Paul is most clear about getting us out of Iraq, and, even more importantly, completely changing our foreign policy--closing bases accross the globe.

[columbusclipper]

Plus, Obama is a member of the Council of Foreign Relations, a globalist organization out to weaken US soverignty and therefore undermine our constitution (not that that is directly Obama's intention; I'm sure it isn't, but his membership will compromise whatever pristine constitutional ideals he may have.)

[snarkwaupaca]

Is his membership in CFR and support for AIPAC a political necessity in the US? If you look back to his career and past statements I believe that deep down he is balanced and believes in real change and democracy in the middle east and not simply to parrot back what the pro-Israel neo-cons that run AIPAC want. The problem is that so far his focus has been on domestic issues and that is really what I want out of a president. I don't want more international entanglements.

[columbusclipper]

You may want to do some research on the CFR. Try "The CFR Controls American Media" on You Tube. If you have a couple hours to spare, watch "Freedom to Fascism" on Google video. Problem with AlPAC is that it urges US premptive military involvement in the Middle East.

[columbusclipper]

Just think about the billions of dollars we spend on policing the world on behalf of the Israeli lobby. We're borrowing money from China to fund these wars. You may want to give Paul an extra look, keeping in mind that the Democrats are going to gain seats in the House and Senate to ensure that the money we save by bringing our troops home will be, to Paul's dismay, on federal domestic programs.

[snarkwaupaca]

As a matter of style, your should expect that anybody that knows a canidates relationship and history with AIPAC will know everything your talking about. If you look back at the last 30 years you will see that under republican administrations the deficit and overall spending increased while under democrats it goes down. I expect the same from Obama(fiscal responsibility)

[columbusclipper]

Oh, absolutely. Republicans are largely responsible for our huge debt. Couldn't agree with you more. But Ron Paul is not your typical Republican. He's hated by those who run the Republican party on the national level because he is such a truth teller. Paul wants to put an end to deficit spending, and he is the most outspoken critic of our foreign policy. He wants to get troops not only out of Iraq, but also in places like Korea!

[snarkwaupaca]

My Wife and I talked about all the great jobs current canidates would fit in a new(obama;-) ) administration. Edwards(Attorney General), Richardson(Sec State), Kucinich(EPA administrator), Dodd(UN embasador). I think what you've said is true and would Paul make a great Director of OMB or Treasury Secretary? He would make sure waste was rooted out.

[columbusclipper]

Yes, Paul would be great as a Treasury Secretary, but no presidential winner would nominate Paul. Nobody. He's the enemy of the left-right establishment. Sure, there is a legitimate liberal and legitimate conservative position, but notice how the true representatives of each of these positions are being rooted out--Kucinich and Paul. If you were to travel to Manchester, NH right now, you'd notice the overwhelming support for Ron Paul, and CNN/FOX/etc. are doing the best they can to censor them.

[dafttool]

Mitt plays the victim, accusing all of personally attacking him when they question his unRepublican flipflopping history, yet he's the one putting out millions of dollars of negative attack ads over the airwaves.

Rudy: 9/11, 9/11, 9/11, Islamic terrorists, 9/11.

[F4O4U4R4S]

ahh the american way, let everyones voice be heard, well, except ron paul because he just makes way to much sense!

all these guys are loose cannons except fred thompson, the only thing that fred is good at is pretending he is someone else!

where is ron paul?

[cleftronix]

Huckabee is the worst, most slippery liar I have ever seen, and that's saying something. He avoids the tax issue which Romney nailed him on, Huck is for AMNISTY and then lies and says it's not amnisty. He uses slick talk and the bible to avoid issues. Huckabee is WORSE than Bush!

[harrison1184]

I thought Ron Paul's town hall meeting was much better than this thing.

[duder113]

it's right Ron Paul is not there. These people are slime, you can not talk to liars.

[unzarjones]

Any of these guys would make a much better leader than the Euro-wannabe Dems. Dems don't lead, they just kiss ass.

[wiskawind]

This world belongs to the young ones now; we old ones need to shut up! Don't listen to any of these old bastards; they will keep their kids safe and try and draft your young ass off to die for their profits! This is YOUR world now; let the old guard hear you roar. (smile)

[Davidthorough]

What a bunch of scary, self serving gasbags! How sad that this is the "best" we can do as a country in one of our major political parties.

[martinaoe2]

that fuking eejit using 9/11 again... how the fuk has he experience in dealing with terrism.. romney seems to bash everyone else ... wer the fuk is ron paul...

[marcusjansen239369]

I thought there was no space for Ron Paul?:)) Guess that was a joke! Welcome to the MUPPET SHOW!:)))

[Fringe111]

Rudy is the biggest liar of them all. What he did to the firefighters after 911 is criminal

[Fringe111]

I am so sick and tired of the rhetoric. I want to hear the platforms in detail.

[foodope]

Fringe, there just IS no detail in any of these five platforms.

[marcusjansen239369]

OK, I will decide:) This forum made it extreamly easy for us. I decide on (NONE)!

RON PAUL!

[wntoply6]

now i'm not for taxes at all, but with the defecit this last congress and stupid president have run up, if we cut taxes, how the hell will the budget ever be balanced?

[marcusjansen239369]

These BOYS are a freakin Joke! They appeal to the most ignorrant in this country with no intelligence. Exactly how they want us!

RON PAUL!

[CHA0SM00SE]

when ever these people talk about change the change for the worse

[revolutionvendetta22]

Fox News is a joke! Anybody who actually thinks FAUX News is fair and balanced deserves to be a slave to elite lairs. WAKE UP! How can we just stand by while the big media censor candidates on frivolous criteria? Ron Paul has the poll numbers, election numbers (Iowa), the fund raising, the grass roots support and political buzz that warrants equal time. Fox News is run by Neo conservative liars!

[JobDDT]

Chris Wallace is a smarmy ass.

[brotherblues2112]

if you look closly you can almost see the strings on these puppets...

[Fringe111]

hahahahaha I've seen them for along time, funny

[DevBlazed]

if i had a gun, and half a brain:

There would be 6th man on stage and 5 less fascists.

[CHA0SM00SE]

what happened to all of Americas psycho snipers, how is bush still alive?

[roullettechick]

dude, Ive been wondering that for a while, but hes not that important you see. Just a robot, only "free thinkers are dangerous".

you know who 08

[supertommy1]

Ron Paul's Town Hall Meeting was much more enlightening than this soap opera of crap.

[tito45]

They are all Fascists !
