CNBC Chicago traders cheering for Ron Paul 2008.02.27

[miazagora]

RON PAUL, 2012! 

[JohnnyMac2237]

Ron Paul would hate to here this. But you can be my dictator. That is how much I trust you to do the right thing.

[bellcord]

Santelli's a 9 year old who sets the kitchen on fire then screams at his parent for allowing fire in the house..

[uturniaphobic]

I'm sure am glad the Federal Reserve is a separate entity from Government...Maybe China will kill just them...fingers crossed...

We the People are more like the House in a bad loan, while the Fed is the borrower...and usually the house survives but not the borrower....see ya Ben....Sianara!

[stater68]

most people can believe in the constitution without believing in a complete military disarmament, finding any excuse not to defend America, blame America for terrorism, and blatantly ignore threats that exist in the world.

[stealthpakfa]

america is the biggest threat to humanity's very existence.

[mit26chell]

@stater68 Who advocates for a complete military disarmament, and who doesn't want to defend America? Ron Paul advocates bringing all of our troops home to *defend* OUR borders, and OUR country - the man who warned, while voting to impeach Clinton, that he would vote 'yes', but not for the reasons cited for impeachment, rather a more serious problem - our illegal bombing of the Middle East & went on to warn that it would put us at a huge risk of a terror attack. Couple years later - 9/11/2001.

I saw on TV, this woman is currently under water on her $800k house, she is asking for help, her bathroom looks bigger than my bedroom, she makes less than me, and yet I now have to help pay for her so she can stay in this nice house.

America is heading to the wrong direction.

[Arthirias]

Its funny how Rush, Hannity, Drudge are just NOW saying that a revolution is starting more than a year after it began. They are a year behind apparently because Dr. Ron Paul inspired us all.

[andrewbnkjv]

I shined Bernanke's head with an old rag and my pee.

GO AMERICA- End jewish economics/end the fed.

[MeanMachine69]

i was naked while I watched this video! j

[bkekss]

I sincerely believe that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies, and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale.

Thomas Jefferson

[SpiritofTerror]

All loans, stock prices, commodity prices etc are recorded and a mathematical formula is applied and this formula is of a great benefit for those comcerned.

The formula has no concern for any emotional hysteria or opinions.

[19Truth53]

And only complete fools and Fascists would disagree with Paul on "Political and Foreign Policy issues," either!

[wellingtonian]

Ron Paul is the only financial expert here.

these clowns don't even have a clue.

[eclipsxe2000]

Paper value is a joke !!!

[Hmongguitargod]

I totally agree. A burnt piece of paper is worth more than our dollar.

[mujaku]

The mandate of the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 (and 77) is "to promote effectively the goals of maximum employment, stable prices, and moderate long-term interest rates." Thus far the Fed has created a housing bubble to promote employment. It has lowered interest rates too much which gives rise to commodity speculation (put the interest at 7% watch oil prices fall) leading to price instability. By no stretch of the imagination is Bernake following the Fed mandate.

[garyowen4ever]

RICK SANTELLI IS THE "MARIO LANZA" of the trading pits,,,,,

[SCOOTERBALLUSA]

Bernanke is part of the problem because of his human error. Without human error we don't lose. It is fixed to destroy our standard of living by human errors, even Ron Paul's Human error in congress being there doing nothing.

Let the american people decide their fate not Bernanke. 1 % on the dollar can do exactly that, with a new banking division in the social security banking institution. Letting Americans decide their fate.

[AirelonTrading]

Oh, and "Chicago" isn't Wall St. It's Main St. This is the problem. The Chicago folks understand that the PPI is GOING to flow over into the CPI. The producers can only hold back their rising costs from the end consumer for so long.

[AirelonTrading]

Wall Street has become FAR too disconnected from is going on at Main Street

[Deliman17]

If even the greedy wall street traders are cheering, you know there something one.

[Deliman17]

*there's something wrong with our financial system.

[AirelonTrading]

I'm a 'wall street' trader, and an investor. I don't support Ron Paul. But his statements that day made sense. As Rick stated, the Fed's monetary policy hasn't made sense for over 15 years. Bernake is inherieting a disaster from Greenspan (who, if you ask me, should be brought up on charges for economic crimes) and is trying to delay, so volatility can play price out on the indexes. CPI Inflation lowered a bit this month, but Paul was correct. PPI will carry over into the CPI soon enough.

[mudwhistle]

I'll bite. Who do you support?

[AirelonTrading]

Me. :) I don't support any of them. Most people out there are concerned with one thing: More money, or more power. I'm just trying to see to me and mine.

[Founders1776]

Ron Paul's message about the critical importance of the Constitution and the Republic will never die. For the anti-American, anti-Constitution, anti-Republic Paul bashers out there who think this is about Ron Paul, you can kiss my lily-white Irish ass.

[voteDRNO]

CUNDC 6/21 Does it bother any one that the CFR controls the American presidency?

[TeamGOP]

Finally someone says it! It bothers the hell out of me.

[voteDRNO]

We have to stop voting for any one who is in the CFR!

[TeamGOP]

Our voting doesn't matter, if you ARE part of the CFR, you will win. If your not, you won't.

[haywood9876]

So I guess that means Obama will win, since he's connected to the CFR.

[TeamGOP]

Well, so is McCain, and Clinton, that's why their getting the media attention. If any candidate is being propped up by the media, they are part of the CFR, because Rupert Murdoch, who runs NBC, and ABC is part of the CFR, as well as the News Corporation.

[egorew]

murdoch owns news corporation. NBC is run by Jeff Zucker and owned by general electric.

[TeamGOP]

My bad. But you get the point.

[eboneemoviemaker]

dammit,

we need everyone to support Bill # H.R.2755

Contact your local Congressman and write him a letter to sponsor Ron Paul's bill:

Bill # H.R.2755

This will repeal the Federal Reserve Act!

Why can't we get rid of the Fed. Reserve and the IRS altogether!

Good luck to all.

Ron Paul is our only hope to freedom, liberty, and true free markets!

[jrwindett]

Americans surely lost a great chance at restoring the public. What can you expect from a bunch of sheeple?

[marxbitesall]

Bernanke and all his predecessor's are controlled by the world's largest banks and banking families - they ARE the men behind Oz's curtain (ounce & yellow brick rd - get it?) that rule the world thru the banks they systematically taken over via the indebtedness for war finance and supply they profit mightily from over and over again.

mises dot org is who Ron Paul learned his Austrian economics from - its a banking cycle & there never was a business cycle that ever impoverished people as badly

[djfirm420]

Who cares if he's in the race or not, just keep the message alive, that's what's important!

RON PAUL!!!!!!!!!

[snpage2001]

RP is still in this race folks.  The media is lying! ronpaul2008DOTcom

[Timesobserver]

It's amazing how many Ron Paul supporters are in denial right now. In that video, it's not like he's saying "Keep up the good fight until I'm in the Oval Office." I hate to break it to the lot of you, and trust me, I like what the man stands for, but he's not going to be winning this election any time soon.

timesobserver DOT blogspot DOT com

[Boscovius]

Ron said he's winding the campain down. But he also told us the the Revolution is just getting started. That is the long term project. We have to get credible people to run for office at all levels of Government. Only then can we be a force that cannot be ignored.

[LetFreedomRlng]

He's not dropping out. He's just being reasonable in saying their is almost no chance to win. However, Ron Paul says he will continue to campaign in the remaining states, because the rEVOLution is much bigger than one election.

P.S. Ron Paul f-cking owns Bernanke!!!

[Timesobserver]

It's shame that Ron Paul is quitting the race but with his lack of major support and low poll numbers, it's time for him to do so.

At least, that's what his video on his campaign Web site seems to suggest.

[KenMacMillan]

The state of American Politics...

One wants "change" but nobody knows what kind of change

One claims experience but still hasn't said how it would be used.

One wants to keep fighting a war we can't afford.

One & only one wants to restore the dollar, restore civil liberties, restore the constitution, & restore the Nation.

Ron Paul - Eight Years

[DCUPtoejuice]

Ron Paul is the daddy mac

[meekbrea]

Wow, Rick is my hero. The only guy in the msm

that notices the truth.

[Naedine23]

Haha! Love how the guy is all "Call it what it is!!" Damn straight. (Ron Paul for Prez!)

[trec485]

I just love that shout that shut the commentator up. Thumbs up.

[elroacho420]

They are killing the dollar so that they can replace it with the Amero. This will make transitioning into the North American Union easier.

Soon we will be begging for the Amero to come in and save us. Even though the same people that are pushing for the Amero are killing the dollar.

[Founders1776]

Fall of the Dollar(currency)=Fall of the Empire.

It's been that way forever. Those who forget history are condemned to repeat it. I hope Americans wake up and smell the stench in Washington and put Ron Paul in the White House. He is the ONLY guy running for office who seems to see the storm ahead.

I want off this friggin' boat. Where's the Exit sign?

[youngblood007007]

you hit the nail on the head with that comment, the sad truth is though that there is no exit for us, we have no choice but to tag along for the ride where ever they take us and suffer like the rest of civilization, what is install for our children, thats what worries me.

[KenMacMillan]

Founders1776, I agree.

This is a problem with education. Without a proper education history is limited to ones own memories, if it didn't happen in my lifetime, it didn't happen. A SERIOUS problem today. I think it comes down to parenting. Remember when parents used to MAKE their kids learn? A novel consept. Let kids do what they want & it's always smoke pot & play video games. It's not the kids fault, they don't know any better. The responsibility falls squarely on parents shoulders.

[KenMacMillan]

Founders1776, I agree.

[Founders1776]

KenMacMillan... I agree that education is a HUGE problem, and we're not getting any help in American schools either. They don't teach World and American history now like they did when I was a kid. Unfortunately, books have fallen out of style for kids. One thing though, I have four children of my own who are aware of what's going on in Washington and vote accordingly.

[MISTAFIEDONEEIGHTSEV]

¥T

[TBRambo]

RON PAUL is the SHIZ NIT

[Treveda]

So was this Rick guy instructed to put words in the traders mouths saying they disagree with Paul on foreign policy? How does he know?

For fuck sake when are people going to wake up and realize our treasure being pissed away overseas is the #1 reason for the fall of the dollar.

If people don't stop loving their insane Iraq war we will never solve this monetary problem.

[Treveda]

And not just the Iraq war, but the policing the rest of the world under UN rule as well.

The shit is expensive and we've got to stop. Roll back the US into a Republic the way it was meant to be. Not an empire. I don't wanna see the US go down like Rome.

[janelso33]

Yeah... sadly, the actual cost of living is not getting higher. Nothing is more expensive than it ever was in terms of absolute costs. A pound of flour is always worth a pound of flour. Gallon of milk = gallon of milk. A Troy oz. of gold is a Troy oz. of gold. Nothing is becoming more valuable. The dollar, which is used to buy all these things, is GETTING WEAKER over time.

[Rattlesrevenge]

Ron is always right. How does he do that/ Oh yeah -he's smart.

[NanaHall55]

Hear, hear, Nakedrat! Paris Hilton, Britney Spears & even the 2008 election, it's mass distraction. RP is the clear choice. But.... Google HR1955. Write your Senator, sign the petition. American censorship is about to be made law! It will put You-Tube out of business! We will become like Putin's Russia, all propaganda, no truth! Long live Internet Freedom!

[anyusmoon1]

Nice grab off the MSM peacespeech thank you.

[nakedrat]

By the time most Americans realize Ron Paul is right (when the dollar is worthless and their savings are wiped out), it will be too late to save our monetary system. In the meantime I can only do my best to prepare my family for the upcoming crisis. Good luck to the rest of you out there that think Britney Spears is more important than understanding some basic economics. "But CNN and Fox News told me Ron Paul was a wacko!!"

[xsleef]

I will write in Ron Pauls name.Sad that the others running is the best we have ..haha what a joke,How is it a chance to fix this country and they vote for pipe dreams and war mongers.

[benggyy]

i know you guysss, it was a hypothetical idea

[roblafeve]

I like that guy:)

[Founders1776]

Hello Darkness, My Old Friend.

[cmanw]

DUH!

Why are Ron Paul supporters the only ones who grasp this concept?

[mj011n1r]

They listened to what he was saying and/or read what he wrote. That's all it takes.

[BostonBeatnik]

I would love to hear Obama's opinion on this but he doesn't have one. Because he's as clueless on this issue as McCain.

Ron Paul is already my President.

[LaurieBluedorn]

Absolutely!!

[mit26chell]

@BostonBeatnik Obama knows nothing about the economy, as most presidents don't. He does what all the others do - lets other people tinker with it and distort it, while frequently planting into the heads of the American people that the president somehow has the authority & ability to alter, run & make more prosperous the economy. The manipulation and lack of stability in this countries economy begins when America's dictator, Bernanke, creates the moral hazard by magically setting interest rates.

[benggyy]

could u imagine if Ron Paul really did rule the world? there would be a lot more peace

[MooseOfReason]

He wouldn't want to "rule" the world, per se.

[PresidenteCamacho]

benggyy, Ron Paul doesn't want to "rule" anybody. That's the basic premise of his message and it used to be what America was all about too: individual liberty and free markets!!!

[babaprad]

Ron Paul should rule the world.

[webovisionca]

people should be free. no government whatsoever. I admit Ron Paul is cool and may be somewhat responsible with that kind of power, but you never know

[ang9967]

Amen. If the American people vote for ANYONE other than Ron Paul, you can kiss this country goodbye. Obama, Clinton, MccInsane, are all schills for the establishment and your not a member! Obama=TAXES and a empty voice, Clinton=NAFTA, and she needs more white house china ( she didnt get all of it the first time ) MccInsane=Amnesty,War,Taxes.. Get busy and become a delegate for Ron Paul and or write him in.

[HYWT]

He doesn't advocate the gold standard but allowing competing currencies, rather, including gold and silver bonds. I.e. bonds backed by those two precious metals, which, if they were the sole legal currency, would be equivalent to the gold & silver standard, but that's not his position.

[choloman05]

He's just saying we need to go to a hard-assets backed dollar - not necessarily gold or silver.

Just imagine if the dollar was actually a reflection of the actual wealth, hard-assets, of this country.

[webovisionca]

I think the transition back may be a painful process

[midwestcharm]

I always cheer for Ron Paul..especially on foreign policy

[ohponderthis]

People cheering questions? I hope the cheers turn into VOTES!

[johnb321]

Americans are just too dumb to grasp this subject. Ron Paul would be the front runner if they did.

[6782485]

If they had been cheering for Hillary, McCain, Obama, Huckabee, Guilliani,or Joe Shmoe - it would have made the front page of every newspaper in the country, the top spot on the Drudge report and the Huffington Post, and the lead-in story on the nightly news.

[cincinnatusnow]

A weak dollar is a threat to the security of America.We cannot afford to maintain a strong defense without a stong economy and monatary policy.

[xkjdhdglksh]

Come on. The darn voting machines are rigged. The Constitution is gone. It's all moot.

[eekdog2005]

Send us your gold and we'll send you this worthless fiat currency. call now for your gold kit! 1-800-screwed!

[sratiug]

The lone ranger, Ron Paul, rides in to return gold to the dollar. Actually, you must agree with his political and foreign policy ideas other than monetary policy in order to save the dollar and save our nation from terrorism.

[wasuretta]

They are trying to manufacture and brainwash for the Amero, they are not for the gold standards. Oligarchy media trash.

[magicpick76]

Without Ron Paul, we are lost...

MP76

[MrNewDaddy]

As Ron Paul so adamantly points out, it's not him it's the ideas that he and many other Americans hold that are important. But in spirit I agree with you, without a leader who believes as Ron Paul we will soon be an admittedly socialist country heading towards communism. (right now most would not admit that we live in a socialist country)

[tlkshowhst]

And somehow, he's on the fringe.

Nice job.

This revolution has only begun; he has brought us together and has changed America indefinitely. He will continue to lead the fight long after the election is over.

[shostetler]

Ron Paul will NOT be president, and we WILL go bankrupt, and we WILL lose our sovereignty as we merge with Canada and Mexico with the Amero. With what I've learned since backing Ron Paul, it's sad, it's sickening, but it's sobering that the powers to be WANT us to go down so they can gain more power.

[Parman08]

Keep fighting! We are winning and mccain is a glass house ready to fall. Take it to the convention all!

[lastnymleft]

We are soon to be hit by a financial tsunami. Dr Paul is the ONLY candidate with the knowledge, the experience, the policies, the COURAGE, to be able to do what is necessary to put this country back on its feet. We NEED him. Supporting anyone else is just a folly - one that not just us, but our children will have to pay.

[TrevorJNoyes]

They always try and twist his message.

[Tasadaru]

Peter Schiff, Jim Rogers, and even Robert Kiyosaki like Ron Paul. Become a delegate and vote for Ron Paul. Look at how Lincoln became the nominee.
