I guess you are the racist you reference, I know now that RP has no chance period, But MCCAIN, what a rusty old fart that is, Let's stay in the middle east 100 years woo whooo! what an idiot.
Democrats and Republicans are both corrupt anyways, so it's a lose-lose situation, especially without independents to have the voice of the people be heard.
wow, you still think that they are really two separate parties?? I knew better than that when I was 10 yrs old. Theres nothing I can really say that will ever convince you otherwise, so I'll just say that you should start looking at whats happening in our govt in places other than the mainstream media. They say its free speech yaada yaada... but its really just crap for you to argue with people about, and to keep you in the dark about what is really goin on.
THIS IS THE SAME QUESTION WOLF ON THE SITUATION ROOM HAS ASKED RON PAUL THE LAST 3 TIMES HE WAS ON THE SHOW! EVERYTIME THEY ASK HIM THIS! AND NOW THE YOUTUBE DEBATE?
get over it MAINSTREAM MEDIA, if HE does run as a independant, im sure youll use all the footage stating he said he doesnt plan to run and now he is, SO HE IS A LIAR!
I am truely glad to see people have reached out to there mouse, and gave up $50.00, that is much easier to do than registering republican and voting in the primarys.
Have you in fact seen a huge surge in registered republican voters?
Please understand I am for a RP presidency, but I do not beleive it can be achieved as a republican.
RP should drop from the primary race. if he shows poorly it will hinder his chances at an independent run.
Besides if he would have said that's not off the table I might have even registered rpublican and the swithed back, but he said no independent run. if that is the case he is not the one anyway!
That's why we're handing out Voter registration packets. If you have even a glimmer of faith in Ron paul (that's probably more excitment than the other politicians generate for you, right?), the you should vote for him.
Where did we get the notion in America that we should only back a "winner"? Vote your heart, Vote Ron Paul, and you'll see that together we can make a difference.
I'm glad to see you are all so excited. But money is not what matters, how many new voters and independents have sign up to vote in the republican primary, I am not trying to thow water on the flame, but it takes republican voters not money to win the primary's.
What happens to the money after super tuesday, does RP just hand it over to the winner? does that money stengthen the Rep. party?
That was the most loaded question in the history of politics. (One about NAU is close though)
You and I both know that the system is rigged against independents and that the Republican party has been invaded by illogical Neo-cons. The only way forward is to reclaim our party.
Mark Strauss told OffTheBus (Huffington post) that "CNN called him and requested that he re-shoot the question..." And THAT was for a Democratic debate question. What, out of 5000 questions, they use him again?
GOOGLE IT. This guy is a CNN tool.
Read his comments below to another poster. He says he never spoke with CNN. Liar!
He is a resident of Iowa. He can register at the Caucus Republican and Vote for Dr. PAul. In the post debate interview he said he was a independent and coulnd't vote for Dr. Paul.
Apparently he doesn't know his own states rules.
Register Republican and vote in the Primary. Getting people to the straw polls is not enough. We must get them to the polls on primary / caucus night. get involved in a meetup.
Dishonorable Sir! I am a Veteran for RON PAUL and those in the military give more money to
RON PAUL then any other Candidate. And you clearly know that an independent candidate cannot win the presidency. Not to mention RON PAUL has won 10 terms in Congress as a Republican and truly represents what the Republican party has always claimed to be about. Oh, I was a Democrat till RON PAUL. I would love to interview you.
Of course the Republican Party isn't going to give Ron Paul the nomination. 20 million voters are going to HI-JACK the Republican Party and TAKE the nomination!
Dude, Sorry, but you slammed Ron Paul and with CNN being outed, it all seems fishy. Your choice of words were odd. "Crazy like a Fox" - "Never Gonna Give You The Nomination" - "Let America Down". You are not even a Ron Paul supporter, and your videos are clearly biased against Republicans. You already asked a question at the Democaric debate. If you were me, what would you think ?
Fuzzybekool, you are being too nice to this fucking prick Mark Strauss. He is an asshole for using his video to smear Dr. Paul. It really wouldn't bother me at all if someone bitch-slapped him to the ground, kicked him in the fucking teeth, and then stomped on his balls a few times.
The fact is I had submitted a question concerning Mitt Romney, it was 1:12 , I received an e-mail (labeled CNN You Tube debates) saying excellent question, but it must be under 30 seconds to qualify for the contest.
I re-shot the video under 30 second and sent it in.
I told this to WQAD, and told them I was trying to get that one to get on the CNN You Tube Republican Debates. I sent many in that had far more views than most.
WQAD was as confused as I was thinking that CNN had any control over what videos are posted on the contest. Nor did You Tube have any say as to what videos get on the debate.
I am sure you are a nice guy and no hard feelings, but it seems like CNN used you to make Ron Paul seem unelectable, and as the biased main stream media knows, slamming Ron Paul unfairly will only bring wrath of the VERY LOYAL Ron Paul supporters down upon them.
READ IT HERE YOURSELF: (from the Huffington Post) "Mark Strauss from Davenport, Iowa, asked what the candidates intend to do about healthcare for the elderly. He told OffTheBus that "CNN called him and requested that he re-shoot the question and keep it to twenty-seven seconds."
Turns out CNN actually helped this tool "shape" his question! There's a BIG story here. First, the gay general is a Hillary plant, now this. It was abundantly obvious to anyone with half a brain that the CNN/YouTube SHOW was rigged!
Why is push polling against Romney unAmerican and yet this jackass can give a totally loaded and highly insulting question to Dr. Paul? CNN helped him "shape the question". "Crazy" "Disappoint" "Never win" Mr. Strauss you are a vile steaming pile of excrement.
Your a fraud. Nice to see you join the mainstream press in subverting Ron Paul's Presidency. Your a fake and this question is a fake. BTW Ron Paul still won the debate according to the public.
You must understand that "Independent" is not a political party of which you are a member, and if you find yourself agreeing with Ron Paul YOU ARE A RON PAUL REPUBLICAN. Quit whining about how you can't vote for him in the primary (in your CNN interview) and REGISTER REPUBLICAN so you CAN vote for him.
yea... this question has been ask for 40+ times on the MSM the pass 5 months. There is more important questions he should ask Paul. Ron been fighting for our Liberty over 30years do you think he will turn back on us now??? What a silly question
My video is uploaded if anyone wants to check it out. I call into question the legitimacy of the Mark Strauss question posed to Ron Paul about Dr. Paul running as an independent.
Did CNN have Mark Strauss craft this specific question just for this debate ? Check my proof and you be the judge.
You know when Ron Paul gets elected president I'm gonna look back at this and say to you.. "what!... what I couldn't hear you. can you repeat that question again?.."
I disagree with those who think this video did ron paul a disservice. It just gives Ron another chance to show what reason and logic can do in politics! People need to get exposed to that!
Why dont you go to a Ron Paul rally before thinking he cant get the nomination? Remember, most of the polls are based on republicans who actually voted in the primaries 4 years ago. That isnt many.
CNN didn't just "pick the questions." They identified contributors and in some cases worked with them to shape the video. Mark Strauss from Davenport, Iowa, ... told OffTheBus that "CNN called him and requested that he re-shoot the question and keep it to twenty-seven seconds."
While Mark Strauss has made numerous public political statements, he has never publicaly expressed support for Ron Paul either on his YouTube site.
"CNN didn't just "pick the questions." They identified contributors and in some cases worked with them to shape the video. Mark Strauss from Davenport, Iowa, ... told OffTheBus that "CNN called him and requested that he re-shoot the question and keep it to twenty-seven seconds."
This youtube debate wasn't really a real debate. CNN just used questions that Blizter would ask anyway. And Mark you can delete the comments all you want but I can just post on some blog somewhere letting people know the truth. Anyway, I'm through with this moron. He can't own up to being a CNN pawn.
Is there a possibility that Paul IS using this to propel himself into an Independent run? How would that work an by when would he have to declare himself Independent?
I think he is as genuine as they come. That being said, he could be sticking to his roots (10 term republican) long enough to see what kind of support he has, never anticipating how strong it has become. Then, if the nomination does not come through, evealuate his options. That is not at all deceptive... it is very wise.
Here is a challenge to all... find an audio or video recording of Ron Paul saying specifically that he WILL NOT run as a 3rd party candidate. GOOD LUCK SEARCHIng! No such recording will be found because he has never said so.
Mark, he never said no. He said it was a difficult question because he has no intentions to do so. Does anyone know of a time Ron Paul was affraid to say no whe he was certain that his answer was no? Think strategy folks... WAKE UP!
Mark, Not only did he NOT say NO... he said, "now thats what I call a difficult question." Why would he say this? He is very firm on his yes's and no's wouldnt you say. He has never said NO to this question Sir, only that he has no intentions in running as a 3rd party candidate. PAY ATTENTION PEOPLE!
That debate question was set up. CNN would used filtering authority to search and find questions they would have asked anyway. CNN was contacting YouTube participants to solicit editorialized versions of their questions. It's a bunch of cooperate media BS!!!!!! If mark denies this he's lying.
NEXPRES - You said during your post debate interview that you were upset because RP said he would not. HE HAS NEVER SAID HE WOULD NOT RUN, only that he has NO INTENTION to run. I repeat... HE HAS NEVER EXPLICITLY SAID NO! Pay attention people, it's an excellent strategy!
Lame question Mark. He has answered many times before last night. The Dems and Rep and media are baised against independents. Dr. Paul explained this before and even back in the 1980s. Its sad but its true. Just change your party affliation to vote for Ron Paul then switch back. Whats so hard about that?
Mark, first off it is Doctor Paul or Senator Paul not mister.
Second, there is huge momentum for him to receive the nomination for the Republican party. Any Stooge Democrat that supports his ideas and platform had better get changed over if there ancient state policy requires them to declare a party. If for some odd reason he doesn't get the party nomination, yeah he will still be on the ticket, but WHY would you demand it at this point in time?
"It takes Regitered Republicans to vote in a primary, RP's base is not of that group."
If this is the case how has he been able to come in either 1rst or 2nd in over half of the Straw Polls held across the country. People like yourself are the reason why this country is in the trouble it's in now...
You know, Mark, you've really got me thinking. I guess I really don't like Ron Paul afterall. Come to think of it, I'd really rather have one of the annointees, any of them, doesn't matter which. What was I thinking when I entertained the idea that we could actually have a real person as the nominee this time around? Silly me; thanks for straightening me out!
Conza88 if YOU had a conscience, YOU would realise your actions DO symbolise spitting in the face of the founding fathers, as do the actions of every non-RonPaul fan, and anyone who is anti-RonPaul.
Jewliani and his supporters _A_R_E_ manipulating the public with media-control. This debate was one of many which sidelined the peoples choice: ron paul.
The media is being manipulated AGAINST him, and the majority masses who support him.
What the F--K, are you talking about? please enlighten me! Were you dropped on your head as a child? I agree with everything you said, not because you said it, but because its the truth. WTF did I do to warrant an attack?
I'm more of a Ron Paul supporter than you are...! MAN, you bring us down, at least try to act intelligent, geez. What a douche.
Strangely interesting. CNN chose to wrap the (real) questions up with this, which is supposed to be a supporter, and yet basically totally craps on him for not being "viable" and puts him in a really hard spot of a) disenfranchising primary voters or b) demoralizing his own base...
You got used man. Used hardcore. But you totally set it up. ...unless you aren't really a supporter.
I'm concerned about the psychological effect of the question. It was simply reinforcing a thought "meme" that Ron Paul won't win primaries, and for those that will fight for him until the end, you can just "hang back" and wait for his 3rd party run. Whether you are a genuine supporter of Ron Paul or no, you played right into the MSM hands.
Are you kidding me? And they interviewed you after the debate?
Do you seriously think he has a chance as an independent? I don't know if you realize this Mr. Strauss, but we're currently under a two-party system, and it's going to stay that way until someone breaks the mold of what we consider THIS or THAT in someone that represents sides of BOTH as well as the NEW.
Terrible question that has already been answered, can't believe it was asked.
Your question sucked, it would have been better if you ask Giuliani if he's considering running as a Democrat considering he ran as one before.
You gave him the same idiot question that these idiot talking heads gave. They are thanking you now because they found someone that couldn't think of an original question.
Hey Mark! Way to let the machine try to chip away at the creditability of Ron Paul as a Republican candidate!! How dose it feel to be made the towel boy of the CFR? Crazy like a Fox...? Nice... It happened to be the only hit question offered up in the debate.... Thanks for the question maybe you should just save your energy for voting.... WOW!
The fuk who picked these Blind to the world MF sorry ass video Qs ought to be shot, bias and they picked yours outa 5,000 yeah tell me it wasn't rigged
I will vote for Ron Paul even if I have to do a write in! If the voting machine does not allow write in, then I will personally file a complaint before the Grand Jury (by passing the DA's office) for official oppression and the violation of my rights. Ron Paul is the only true republican running!
Why would they put your stupid question on the debate when he has already answered that question a hundred times. Not only does it go to show that you don't really pay attention, but that CNN used your ignorance to discredit Ron Paul. You may think he has no chance at winning, but there are millions who know he can.
Why dude? Why. That is just about the only question Ron Paul gets asked in interviews. He is a Republican, he is more Republican then anyone else using the title. He is running as a Republican and if America really wants change, then they will elect him as a Republican.
So...you're sayin the debate was fair? O right cause this is a democracy and all...O wait no it's not. IT IS A FASCIST DICTATORSHIP where things are how the leader makes them. Ron Paul is the only chance this country has at FREEDOM. WE need you to support the Constitution. Not the Corporation. Ron Paul would win the Nomination if it were FAIR. But it isn't. But we'll see.
What a shill? I switched from Libertarian to support the man - can't you do that in Iowa? What a wasted question - why don't you ask them why they aren't growing industrial hemp out in Iowa vs all that corn? _ Dr. Paul has supported the Industrial hemp act twice which would benefit all farmers & consumers vs importing it all...I'm sorry but your question has been seen over & over by the media - want to do something re-register now if you Really care about this country.
The two party system is corrupt. The only way he has a chance is by working within the system and getting the Republican nomination. That is why he is not going to run as an Independent. Thank you for your dumb question that he has answered numerous times before.
He's a Congressman, and he's said a large number of times he's NOT going to change parties.
This question was lame ass and I question the intelligence of the person that picked this question. I posted a question about how Russia could be considered the new Iraq and if we should consider invading it...
I am interested to know what government office you work for? Your question felt contrived and rehearsed. Let me just say, there are many indications that Ron Paul is overwhelmingly the peoples (not the puppet media)choice.
Why would you do this to our candidate? Why would you set him up like this? Why would you make a debate thats already bias into an even more bias Spectacle? How could you betray him like this by even thinking about asking this question in such a high profile debate? How Sir?
There's a lot of negativity towards you over here and I think you really enjoy Ron Paul's message. I think you have a hard time believe that Ron Paul will be able to win the Primaries, but I do think it's possible.
hey dumbfuck.. have you looked into how telephone "polls" that place him? they don't mention his name .. they fuckin called me and didn't offer his fucking name
If you go to myspace and look up Steve Watson you can read his blog. The WORLD wants Ron Paul. They can maybe screw America and get away with it, but they cant screw the the WORLD.
hmmm... did you really mean for your question to come off that way? To make Ron Paul seem like he wont win the nomination? Dumbass, I assume you must be in a position to forecast the will of the nation? Lets really hope everyone switched off before your question was asked.
what is your mental dysfunction? Ron Paul IS a REPUBLICAN. You are doing a disservice to your party and your country by asking such a loaded question. Good Job, you showed all of America just how much of an idiot you are. Enjoy the infamy!
I don't know why everyone hates this question. It provided Ron Paul with a great opportunity to tell people about the power of this campaign. I've been a Ron Paul fanatic since day 1 of his campaign, and I'm fairly sure he'll run as an independent if the Republicans reject him. This is why Republicans need to wake up now. It's Ron Paul or nothing.
2 questions i noticed were very pointed, this one and the one about the NAU. If it wasnt ovbious CNN hates Paul, during the after debate chat with various people, they said NAU doesnt exist, when any idiot with a computer can find all the evidence they want within 1 minute of looking
You said during your post debate interview that you were upset because RP said he would not. HE HAS NEVER SAID HE WOULD NOT RUN, only that he has NO INTENTION to run. I repeat... HE HAS NEVER EXPLICITLY SAID NO! Pay attention people, it's an excellent strategy!
nexpres: I respect your support for Ron Paul, but CNN basically used you as a pawn. They (MSM) have been asking him that question in various ways and he has been able to easily deflect them, but your question was phrased so wonderfully they couldn't pass it up. Their objective is to marginalize him, and there is no better way than to do it than for him to run third party where the majority of American's will not listen to him.
I don't think he is smart enough to be ringer. I think he believes that his stupid question was some kind of grass-roots independent clarion call. What an idiot. Frank Luntz > mark strauss
MARK STRAUSS, what is wrong with you? Are you actually a ringer? You asked the same stupid BS that the FOX toads ask every time they have Ron Paul on. You're an Indy? Fine, switch to Republican to vote for Ron Paul in the Rep primary as ALL OF THE OTHER RON PAUL SUPPORTERS ARE DOING! Geez...
You said during your post debate interview that you were upset because RP said he would not. HE HAS NEVER SAID HE WOULD NOT RUN, only that he has NO INTENTION to run. I repeat... HE HAS NEVER EXPLICITLY SAID NO! Pay attention people, it's an excellent strategy!
Mark, I think we both know you're a shit-for-brains, but if Ron Paul wins this debate will you let Youtube down by blocking comments on any video you ever post again? With "friends" like you, freedom needs no enemies.
I guess you are the racist you reference, I know now that RP has no chance period, But MCCAIN, what a rusty old fart that is, Let's stay in the middle east 100 years woo whooo! what an idiot.

Why dont you go to a Ron Paul rally before thinking he cant get the nomination? Remember, most of the polls are based on republicans who actually voted in the primaries 4 years ago. That isnt many.

I hope you can sleep at night, knowing you have done to Dr. Paul a disservice. If you receive money for this stunt, I hope you choke on it.
Can you swear on your Mom that you didn't do this intentionally to hurt Dr. Paul's chance to win the nomination?

CNN didn't just "pick the questions." They identified contributors and in some cases worked with them to shape the video. Mark Strauss from Davenport, Iowa, ... told OffTheBus that "CNN called him and requested that he re-shoot the question and keep it to twenty-seven seconds."
While Mark Strauss has made numerous public political statements, he has never publicaly expressed support for Ron Paul either on his YouTube site.

While Mark Strauss has made numerous public political statements, he has never publicaly expressed support for Ron Paul either on his YouTube site.
However, Strauss publicly stated in April that he likes Democrat Bill Richardson, saying:
"He's not keen on any of the Democratic candidates at this point though he admits to liking Bill Richardson."

This youtube debate wasn't really a real debate. CNN just used questions that Blizter would ask anyway. And Mark you can delete the comments all you want but I can just post on some blog somewhere letting people know the truth. Anyway, I'm through with this moron. He can't own up to being a CNN pawn.

Is there a possibility that Paul IS using this to propel himself into an Independent run? How would that work an by when would he have to declare himself Independent?
wonderfluf 4 years ago
I think he is as genuine as they come. That being said, he could be sticking to his roots (10 term republican) long enough to see what kind of support he has, never anticipating how strong it has become. Then, if the nomination does not come through, evealuate his options. That is not at all deceptive... it is very wise.

In other words never say never... and as I already said... he has NEVER SAID NO, only no INTENTION.

Here is a challenge to all... find an audio or video recording of Ron Paul saying specifically that he WILL NOT run as a 3rd party candidate. GOOD LUCK SEARCHIng! No such recording will be found because he has never said so.
ronpaulpetition 4 years ago
Mark, he never said no. He said it was a difficult question because he has no intentions to do so. Does anyone know of a time Ron Paul was affraid to say no whe he was certain that his answer was no? Think strategy folks... WAKE UP!
ronpaulpetition 4 years ago
Mark, Not only did he NOT say NO... he said, "now thats what I call a difficult question." Why would he say this? He is very firm on his yes's and no's wouldnt you say. He has never said NO to this question Sir, only that he has no intentions in running as a 3rd party candidate. PAY ATTENTION PEOPLE!

That debate question was set up. CNN would used filtering authority to search and find questions they would have asked anyway. CNN was contacting YouTube participants to solicit editorialized versions of their questions. It's a bunch of cooperate media BS!!!!!! If mark denies this he's lying.

Lame question Mark. He has answered many times before last night. The Dems and Rep and media are baised against independents. Dr. Paul explained this before and even back in the 1980s. Its sad but its true. Just change your party affliation to vote for Ron Paul then switch back. Whats so hard about that?

Mark, first off it is Doctor Paul or Senator Paul not mister.
Second, there is huge momentum for him to receive the nomination for the Republican party. Any Stooge Democrat that supports his ideas and platform had better get changed over if there ancient state policy requires them to declare a party. If for some odd reason he doesn't get the party nomination, yeah he will still be on the ticket, but WHY would you demand it at this point in time?
StandingNext2Her 4 years ago
It takes Regitered Republicans to vote in a primary, RP's base is not of that group.
If he get's people how ever few to re-register republican to vote for him he would only further strengthen the republican base.
And trhen where would the money go left over from his current campaign? to the republican party.

You know, Mark, you've really got me thinking. I guess I really don't like Ron Paul afterall. Come to think of it, I'd really rather have one of the annointees, any of them, doesn't matter which. What was I thinking when I entertained the idea that we could actually have a real person as the nominee this time around? Silly me; thanks for straightening me out!

Strangely interesting. CNN chose to wrap the (real) questions up with this, which is supposed to be a supporter, and yet basically totally craps on him for not being "viable" and puts him in a really hard spot of a) disenfranchising primary voters or b) demoralizing his own base...
You got used man. Used hardcore. But you totally set it up. ...unless you aren't really a supporter.

I'm concerned about the psychological effect of the question. It was simply reinforcing a thought "meme" that Ron Paul won't win primaries, and for those that will fight for him until the end, you can just "hang back" and wait for his 3rd party run. Whether you are a genuine supporter of Ron Paul or no, you played right into the MSM hands.
