Ron Paul On Anderson Cooper 360

[deapitts]

I will start a riot if this man is not in office by 2012!!!! I am not joking!!

[raiden241]

Ron Paul for President 2012!!!!!!!!!

[Sivels]

wow, I'm pretty fucking stunned... Everything just turns out like he laid it out...!

[deletemepleez]

watch roman empire rules

[cobrajitsu]

RP: a Gold Standard in Leadership. Peace, Prosperity and Liberty as opposed Death, War, Greed, Poverty and Total Collapse. If Ron Paul is not the president by 2012... America will be destroyed. We are on a fight for our lives now.

R3VOLUTION!

[LiveFreeOrDieNow]

Real politicians are called to office by their fellow citizens -- they do not choose and plan to run. They are not motivated by greed; rather by integrity. Dr. Paul is just such a politician. He is my president.

[Martintfre]

I'd say statesman rather then politician ;)

[djburns318]

true integrity in a politician...the fact that this is so very rare is a very sad thing indeed

[ronheri]

Dr. Paul had to be coaxed into running for President. He's not on a power trip like the rest of them. He did what he set out to do, wake up the American people, to the evil of big government and the Federal Reserve. Thank you Ron Paul. The Revolution is going forth in tea parties and town halls across America.

[purplefetus3]

Thanks AC 360, but you're complete garbage. We all know you're really Anderson Cooper VANDERBILT.

You're with the bankers. You have no credibility!

[puppetjaw]

Ron Paul - A Political STUD

[lenny380]

Don't believe all the Democrats want this crap. It is way bigger that just Republican votes.  Ron Paul is someone this Country needs to bring personal liberty back - before we lose it ALL.

[robert7232]

A TRUE patriot and statesman.  I wish we had more like him in elected office.

[LORDOFWARS8]

Govt. managed HC plan in Britain led expansion of their system such that it is now the 3rd largset employer (after Chinese army and Indian Railways). Any talk about change to remove inefficiencies leads to talks about loss of livelihood/jobs. I DONT want to link quality of HC with loss of livehood. U cannot provide the best since that may involve laying off inefficient departments. A double whammy! Thats downright immoral.

[LORDOFWARS8]

The number of innovations and breakthroughs that has come from market controlled health-care far outweighs than that has come state-controlled ones. The govt. controlled health-care programs always end up squeezing the private programs by having them deficit-financed/subsidized in the first few years and thus kill all competition. The best example is that of the govt.-managed British health-care system.

[LORDOFWARS8]

Obama clearly mentioned that he either will introduce new taxes or get the money from other avenues for any universal plan. Americans pay enough in taxes, how an added tax can help?

The govt. managed programs like Medicare, etc have proven to be financially not sustainable. Given this and the track-record of govt. performance of managing health-care for the last 40+ years, how can the govt. role be promoted to handle health-care for all Americans?

[rayme4raw]

You're right, he's pushing for this health care plan before April 2010 when the reality of 20% less Tax Revenues hits the Federal Government and it won't be just next year, we will see a huge drop in revenues in 2011 and 2012, then they will be dealing with the fact that they take in less money for Social Security than they pay out. Even if Obamacare passes, they have no way to pay for it, it's pointless and beyond ridiculous.

[cwmillerrn]

I think Ron Paul may be the only one with a lick of sense on the hill. I hope his son wins his Senate race.

[2icebaked]

Ron Paul is a fraud!

[Radwar99]

Got any more dumb and ignorant comments like this, 2icebaked?

[pguitarb]

seriously, how can you not like that guy?

[ladalang]

Obama doesn't realize it isn't about him or any party the people don't want this socialized medicine.

[LORDOFWARS8]

Most probabaly, he does now...

it is just that his masters dont want to undertsand that!

[FreedomsReigning]

I guess Obama officially thinks that he is the "emperor"? He can't guarantee anything, and none of his CZARS get a vote in congress.

Perhaps he thinks that he controls congress, and nobody has any accountability to the people, or the constitution? Health care is a state issue, and if the federal government wasn't robbing us blind, we could fund our own systems.

Obama is a fraud, an egomaniac, and a liar. Impeachment NOW!

[AbuCihan]

Just admit that Ron Paul is a creationist is all I need to hear . . . whereas, you Mister Ebonicslover are a time-waster and that is that: over!!!

[guitarland]

Dr Paul claims he is a Christian, although he rarely speaks of religious things. I do not know why it matters what Ron Paul's religious beliefs are except that he closely follows the founders of our nation.

"We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are CREATED equal, that they are endowed by their CREATOR with certain unalienable Rights..."

So does our Declaration of Independence embarrass you? Do YOUR rights come from a monkey?

[Radwar99]

I'm an Atheist and I support Ron Paul. Why? Because unlike other politicians, he doesn't try to cram his religious beliefs down my throat. Dr. Paul has always respected other's beliefs because he believes in liberty. REAL liberty, not the fake one that's going on today. Patriot Act anyone? Instead of making ignorant comments, do some research on Dr. Paul instead, and take a look at his voting record because nobody comes even close to him when it comes to consistency.

[UnderseaCaveman]

wow....America really fucked up....

We could have had RON PAUL in office RIGHT NOW.... the right CAPT to steer the good ship thru treacherous waters, right now we have the Progressives (short-sighted ideologs, who's actions end up costing lives and wealth).

[Swmorgan77]

Right on, but I'd add one thing. Partisan, and uninformed though much of it may be, the bitter resistance to Obama's Health care is at least SOME form of resistance to expanding government intrusion. If we can educate these Hannity/limbaugh crowd enough to recognize and resist big government from their own party, we'll be in better shape and would avoided the mess we're in now.

[PrinceBandar]

People with the character of Ron Paul made America great - the bad news is he's a dieing breed. That the lamestream media gives him a bit of airtime can be chalked up not only to the fact that he has a large following, but it's also because the media has a sinking feeling that he may be right.

[sjfmeyers67]

it's a slippery slope you're standing on... to assume that any of these politicians arent a part of the same master plan is naive. Ron gets the air time because he keeps 3/4 of conservatives in the mind set that someone is working for them. well ... i find it hard to believe.

[APZH09]

Ron Paul is a true leader. Honest and Smart.

I would LOVE FOR HIM TO BE OUR PRESIDENT

[MilanTbay]

I don't think Obama or anyone Dem or Rep actually is trying to get a real Health Care program in place.

They are all paid by HMOs and just telling the people what they want to hear.

Every person in other industrial nations can receive basic health care.

[RosenKrantz666]

Talk about poor editing, unless this was not what aired on AC360, who is an admitted CIA hack.

[AbuCihan]

Yeah sure, you want to be my mistress, you sissy bitch???

As a matter of fact, this Ron Paul character is just a conservative guy who's not afraid to put his foot in his mouth, while being supposedly "controversial" . . .

[thedeadtellnotales]

I believe Lehrman is his name.

[thedeadtellnotales]

The powers that be will never let him in.

[bulldogger]

They let him on Mainstream media daily, don't get to heavily invested, they have a tendency of offering the solution to problems they create.

[thedeadtellnotales]

He co-wrote a book about gold with a PNAC member. That says alot about him.

[llshamelessll]

ever since anderson lied about the guns in mexico i hate that sombitch. hes a real crapbag

[KARStarla]

Was Obama suggestion a conspiracy theory?

[guitarland]

AbuCihan you speak as a fool. the smartest thing you can do is listen to dr paul.

[AbuCihan]

Play some more guitar, boy . . .

[AbuCihan]

Ron Paul is a dunce, and a creationist to boot . . .

[AnnInFL]

Dr. Paul is a class act, as always. And his free market ideas ARE the best. Even that scumbag Anderson Cooper doesn't have the "teabags" to disrespect Dr. Paul here.

I'll never forget how Cooper flat out lied to Ron Paul during the Republican debates. Cooper was the moderator and after cutting off Ron Paul as he started to speak, he, promised to return to let him answer a question, then never did.

[33ItHappens]

Ron Paul is the man!

[martysoffice]

...always a pleasure to hear a wise man such as Dr. Paul speak... Thanks for posting.

[TheBravo345]

WOW

[israelandersonvideo]

That is EXACTLY what I was going to post. "WOW".

Ron Paul is looking and speaking like a President. I have never seen him like this, and I have watched every single clip of his for more than 2 years. Something, is happening....

[katey1dog]

This man must be our President.

[katey1dog]

Although I believe the government can be efficient with health care. Afterall, they're efficient with Social Security checks, Post Offices, and killing poor Muslims.

My taxes pay for their deaths, why can't my taxes help save American health care?

[bulldogger]

Socialized medicine not working is a myth, only suckers fall for it.

[leafwatch]

In fact, for all the past decades that socialism has been tried in one government program after another, the bigger the program to quicker it becomes bankrupt. Look at the Russian experiment. And China has backed away from its Maoist hard line. Canada's big system is severely stressed with terrible waiting times, sometimes literally years to see a specialist. You are being duped by the US media propagandists for the Establishment.

Medicare, medicaid both bankrupt. More gov., more debt.

[bulldogger]

I live in Canada buddy, and it ain't Russia or China, save the bullshit for somebody else.

[katey1dog]

We already have more government.

Healthcare seems rather cheap compared to our various wars. Terror, poverty, drugs, and crime.

BILLIONS are paid for them all. Just imagine if there were none of those wars.

We'd be out of debt, period.

[limitedgovt999]

Right on, and I might add that soon we will see massive inflation. Most people don't realize there are consequences to too excessive borrowing and to printing money out of thin air.

Foreigners have had it with our deficit spending and have stopped purchasing our bonds. Our deficits will have to be printed out of thin air which will bring on some of the worst inflation this country has ever seen.

[katey1dog]

Canadiens are suckers?

Frenchmen are suckers?

Englismen are suckers?

Japanese are suckers?

Australians are suckers?

New Zealanders are suckers?

Those are merely a few.

[YellowJarrett]

yes we are, but at least we dont get denied health care :)

oh yh, and we get preventative care. cant say that any americans get that. :)

(wow 46 million people who cant get health care. u guys are really bad at taking care of your own)

[katey1dog]

Damn right we are.

But we're pretty good at killing Iraqis and Afganis! Aren't we?

[YellowJarrett]

yes, u guys are good a killing people, killing animals for fun, steeling land, steeling people, using weapons of mass destruction, then getting people hanged for using weapons of mass destruction... etc

yes u guys are good at all the worst things that the human race is capable of doing.

well done.

[katey1dog]

That isn't a rebuke against me I hope,

[YellowJarrett]

why?

do u have a problem with what i wrote?

[katey1dog]

Nothing per se, but my country still spends billions on foreign aid and other such humanitarian concerns.

[YellowJarrett]

true, but they gave also spent trillions on war and as far as i know, since ur civil war, only Afghanistan was worth it. (and WW2 i guess).

and trust me, i'm not being a hypocrite, coz i know how bad my country has been (and still is). thats why native language is english and not krio.

[violet2048]

I don't think Afganistan is worth it. They caused our countries no harm.

If the NATO allies wish to achieve some semblance of victory, then they must relinquish their command and give it to the United Nations as a peacekeeping effort.

[deckchairs1]

You've got it 200% right.

I would leave this punitive every man for himself country & leave for Norway in a heartbeat. There is no basic human decency in the u.s..

Here I sit needing dental care I can't afford for 5 years keeping it together and here are these pompous asses w/o a clue THOSE ARE MY TAX DOLLARS.

Paul talks about illegals getting medical care MAKING NO MENTION OF THE OTHER 40 million of us who are w/o healthcare. He talks about HIS OWN family members w/o it!

[deckchairs1]

Katey1dog, they are insanely proprietary about framing the whole topic that makes absolutely no rational sense to me.

Societies like this one have plenty of resources for killing & occupying, and bailing out theives.

If only I could afford to leave this madhouse of a country I would leave today.

[katey1dog]

And miss the fun?

[deckchairs1]

About as much fun as a funeral in the dead of winter.

[davidpark68]

Americans are also suckers, Look at who we keep electing, on both sides of the Isle.

[deckchairs1]

You think we have real elections with democratically chosen candidates?

Where ya been?

It's ALL ONE Party. It's a shellgame without the pea.

[leafwatch]

Every one of those countries you named has a debt economy. The US leads the world in debt. Yeah, obviously we the people are suckers for letting the bureaucrats, bankers, and elite take our taxes and squander them and risk plunging the entire world into depression while they line their own pocket big time. It's easy for politicians to promises the moon, they're not spending their own money, they're protected from losses and don't have to pay for their vast mistakes at our expense.

[katey1dog]

Every one of those countries you named has a debt economy

Much like our own.

The US leads the world in debt

To the Chinese. And, you have King George the Second to blame for that.

The rest of your comment is a bit rambling.

[davidpark68]

Sarcasm? surely you can't believe what you wrote.

[spike8088]

That's a true Statesman.
