Ron Paul youtube video from the New Hampshire Fox News GOP debate






Here's the highlights from the only pro-constitution, limited government, anti-war Republican running. It was GREAT to see an actual debate break out during this debate - thanks to the courage of Ron Paul. And watch for the "put words in his mouth" question from Chris Wallace. His dad, a real journalist, would be ashamed.

It's Ron Paul on his own versus the entire GOP field. Amazing position to be in. How any anti-war Republicans can vote for any of the other candidates is beyond me. If you're GOP and anti-war, you're with RP. If you're GOP and you're anti-big-government, you're with RP. If you're an Independent wanting a voice in the primaries, you're with RP.

America, we're in a whole heap of trouble, and more of the same will get you more of the same. It's time for a change. And I have nearly zero hope that there's enough enlightened Americans to make that change. You get the leaders you deserve, and America doesn't deserve Ron Paul.

It's not too late America. But it will be soon. And the housing crash will be the straw that broke the camel's back.

Donate here.

Yes, shame on Chris Wallace for his attempt at trying to belittle Mr. Paul. I have not been politically active in the past, but for the first time I DO plan on getting involved in this election.

Who filmed this?

Why is it that when the questioner asks RP the questions some guy can be heard laughing as if the questions are a joke? As if were to believe cutting the government is a joke? this is a setup.

The nervous laughter is from one of the other candidates, likely King of the Assholes Rudy

It is too late. We need a long hard recession in which the populace realizes you can't have something for nothing, everyone is not entitled to live like or be a millionaire, and that money and things will not fulfill you.

Most people will lose a lot and realize they never had it anyway.

Perhaps then a little wisdom will grow.

Did you guys notice how Huckabee's basic plan was "I don't care how many people die in Iraq so long as we leave "when we want to" meaning that we don't lose face. I was disgusted by that. Ron Paul was the only one who was not senile.

That scumbag Chris Wallace is trash for asking the question he did about taking marching orders from Al Queda.

Hannity is also human garbage. We all know Fox News polls are a real as professional wrestling. They don't even have msg boards on their website. Anyway, Hannity kept saying how Ron Paul winning the Fox poll was fake; maybe so but don't have a poll if you might not like the results you JACKASS!

Dear Keith,
I made a decision to watch the Republican presidential debate last night on Fox
Only to see who ‘Ron Paul’ is.
I was interested to see what he’s about because you have been promoting him here on HP.

I’m not really sure were to begin.
To say that he’s a total looser is an understatement
To say that I’m beyond surprised that you support him is also an understatement.
I just don’t get it …….. the Ron Paul that I saw last night does not appear capable
to manage his thermostat in his own living room, let alone be a leader of a country.

I believe they mentioned that he’s been a representative for the state of Texas for like 10 years (or 10 terms, not sure, but what are they smoking in Texas?).

Do you think he’s smart cause he advocates that people begin using gold and silver coins and not paper money, like they did about a thousand years ago?

WTF?

Pleeze explain why you support this guy.

I personally would not trust him in my house even when I’m home.
This guy looks and sounds spooky.

Man, I just don’t get it.

Hell, I've never been GOP and I'm voting for Ron Paul. My entire family , co-workers, and friends are doing voting for him, too.

You should see Hannity's reaction when the Fox poll showed Paul ahead with 37% and Giuliani second with only 14%. Man, he got pissed on camera, said "Let it go again", like the poll was fixed or untrue. Hey Faux News, why do a poll at all then, if you don't believe in it?

Keith, do you think Bernanke and Paulson can keep the dollar propped up long enough to extinguish the Ron Paul threat?
If the dollar were to collapse soon, everyone might awake from their long slumber to see what a great man this is. It's unfortunate that everyone gangs up on him. We have been off course for so long now, it seems like the Constitution is passe' to most people. Rudi & all the other G.O.P. Jackoffs seriously need to learn some manners. I am voting for Ron Paul if he is there, but let's face it, he's a long shot until the sheeple wake up. I think a dollar collapse will be the alarm clock. If Washington,Jefferson, and Franklin were alive in this era they probably would have left to try to start another America somewhere else.

Ron Paul is the real deal, folks. When people finally begin to wake up to the truth, RP will become endeared to the hearts and minds of the American people.

Those who continue to be in denial over the real prospects of the RP candicacy are in the same league as the sheeple who have placed their heads into the sand ignoring the housing crash.

If there were any sanity and probity among Republicans, the leading "sensible" candidates would be, by far,

Mitt Romney, a conventional but approximately competent and sane "CEO" republican,

and

Ron Paul, an ideological, but honest libertarian.

McCain is nuts, Thompson is a lazy airhead, and 'il Rudi' Giuliani is a dangerous warmonger policestatist. Others are regressive mouthbreathers.

Among Democrats, the leading candidates by sanity and merit would be Edwards and Dodd and Richardson.

I really like Ron Paul. It is obvious he is a critical thinker and came up with these thoughts mostly on his own rather than being indoctrinated by the status quo.

Anonymous said...

As much as I like some of Paul's libertarian positions with regard to domestic issues, he is a complete quack when it comes to foreign affairs and he proved that in this debate. His view of the world is too simplistic and trusting, and it seems he would run this country much like someone who can't see more than 5 feet in front of their face would drive a car.

Abolish the CIA and the FBI? Is he out of his mind? I'm all for smaller government, but that's just ridiculous.

He, like Dennis Kucinich on the Democratic side, is far too idealistic to manage anything other than his own life. Leadership at the national level requires pragmatism and a willingness to make decisions that run counter to one's beliefs, and he appears capable of neither.

He is taking long standing Republican Libertarian principals and rubbing them in the face of the "so called" legitimate candidates.

It seems that the shady government within the government asked their Israeli pals to start a phony conflict with Syria, by invading their air space. Be prepared to see lots and lots of these schemes from now on, as the shady government tries to hold on to the money making machine phony wars they create to transfer taxpayer money into their bank accounts.

GOP, their facilitators, are losing ground on public opinion, so the time calls for drastic measures, such as Osama "new" tapes shwoing up here and there to scare the sheeple and make Giuliana look good, phony terror plots that get busted, increased terror alerts, etc, etc, etc. Just pay attention to the news from now on to spot the pattern forming, as the elections approach and pressure to pull out of Iraq increases. You will see more of Osama, Syria, Iran, phony terror plots..the same BS to fool you again.

Wake up, sheeple, it's all rigged by the shady group. Don't believe a word that comes out of MSM, GOP, or the White House!

I really think a lot of this is going to back fire against the GOP. The way they all were acting in front of the camera, the way the host was smug and dismissive, it's gonna back fire. Ron Paul makes sense and he bucks the popular view of the GOP. I really think most people watching the debates are going to slowly agree whith what Ron Paul said.

It's really sad the way they all ganged up and laughed at him. But Americans always root for the underdog, cause at inception we were a nation of underdogs.

Go Ron Paul!

Fox News moderators weighed in with glee in an attempt to ruffle, smear and sidetrack Ron Paul. His first question revolved around a purposeful misquote of the Congressman’s position on allowing pilots to be armed and it only went downhill from there.

“The second question though revealed the unbelievable bias of Fox News,” writes Anthony Wade. “In response to a question about Iraq and troops, Paul reiterated that we needed to pull the troops home, period. He has consistently said that we need to address the entire foreign policy and start protecting our own borders and our own country. In response to the false notion that there would be a “bloodbath” if we just pulled out, Paul quickly reminded everyone that the same people speculating that there would be a bloodbath are the same people who said Iraq would be a “cakewalk” and a “slam dunk.” He then correctly pointed out the faulty logic that says we need to stay for stability when it is widely reported that our presence on the Arabian Peninsula is what prompted the attacks of 911. The response from Chris Wallace was to pose his own follow up question which was, “So you are saying you would take your marching orders from al Qaeda?”

“Are you kidding me? The inherent bias in the question was disgusting during a debate forum and Chris Wallace revealed himself as nothing but a whore for the machine and not a credible newsperson. Thankfully, Dr. Paul was up to the task by responding that he would take his marching orders from the Constitution.”

NEWSFLASH, there are already guns on the plane, it's called air marshals. DUH! He said airlines should improve security, not the government. Maybe if we didn't rely on the government for every single stupid thing in our life we wouldn't be in the mess that we are. Wake up clown!

Anonymous said...

guns are on planes now in the hands of trained marshalls. what this dolt proposes is allowing everyone to carry one. great idea, 50 drunks carrying loaded guns at 30,000 feet.

And you wonder why this guy's poll numbers are below whole numbers.

penguindev said...

Ron Paul's position is that Airlines protect their property and their passengers. If they want to allow pilots to carry guns, they should be able to. (I believe right now the pilots can not carry guns, even stun guns!)

If they want to allow passengers to carry guns, they can too, but most likely they would just have pilots carry them. You guys are completely misunderstanding him, but that's ok - freedom is a foggy concept these days!

Airlines should be held accountable for security. We should have a choice - how can we hold the TSA bureaucrats accountable for banning stuff like tennis racquets and toothpaste and taking our shoes off? What's next?

September 7, 2007


Has this been a hectic and encouraging time! First we got almost 17% in
the Texas straw poll, an event set-up to represent the establishment,
with very restrictive voting rules. That 17% of the Republican
hierarchy would support our views, after a full day of pro-war propaganda, is
good news. Then we won the more open Maryland Republican straw poll with
28%. In both cases, as usual, hard-working, well-organized volunteers
made all the difference.

The Fox debate was a lot of fun as well. It's true that a few of the
network people are not exactly with us on foreign or domestic policy
(though one famous guy whispered to me that he is a libertarian), but the
audience-with lots of students from the University of New Hampshire-was
definitely fair and balanced, as their enthusiastic reaction showed.

My opponents called for more war, more torture, more secret prisons,
more eavesdropping, more presidential power. Some seemed to identify the
government and the people as if they were one entity. But you and I
know that once the government moves beyond its very limited constitutional
mandate, it is an opponent of the people, a rip-off operation that
takes our money and our freedom and our social peace, and gives us a mess
of statist pottage in return.

The government failed miserably on 911 to protect us, despite spending
trillions. So the answer was supposed to be the giant, socialist
Department of Homeland Security, protecting you and me from taking our
toothpaste on the airplane. I was ridiculed for saying that the airlines,
which know best how to protect their property, should have been allowed to
arm their pilots. But then, you and I really believe in the Second
Amendment. It is not just a political slogan for us.

When I discussed the blowback that came from us intervening on the
Arabian peninsula, Chris Wallace asked me if I wanted to follow the
marching orders of al-Qaeda. I responded that I wanted to follow the marching
orders of the Constitution, and not wage undeclared, aggressive wars
that cause us only trouble. This is a mystifying to some, of course, but
not to more and more Americans.

There was much talk of taxes, and a pledge not to raise rates. But as
usual, I was not allowed to discuss my lifelong pledge to abolish the
income tax. Just holding the line, when the government takes such vast
sums through an illegitimate guilty-until-proven-innocent system, is
hardly enough. We need to slash taxes and spending if we are to have a
future of prosperity for ourselves and our families.

After the debate, many young people gathered around the stage to
discuss our ideas and ask questions about them (and to have me sign their
badges). My colleagues got no such response, and after a few moments,
"security" ordered me off the stage. Can't have any such demonstration of
interest in liberty.

But the young are with us, and so are Americans of every stripe. Even
party officials. When one of my opponent said it was OK to lose
elections through supporting the Iraq war, that set party people's teeth on
edge, and rightly so. The Republican party is shrinking. We need new
people. It's either our ideas or President Hillary, and more and more people
recognize it.

But the media, and everyone else, will be looking at fundraising totals
at the end of this month. They'll judge us by how we do. And we need
help to wage what we hope will be a full-scale, 50-state campaign.
Please help me head into the next quarter fully armed to do battle for
freedom, peace and prosperity. Make your most generous contribution

but it very much needs your support.

Wall Street hides impact of sub-prime mortgage meltdown
_________________________________
Excerpt from article is below:

"While according to ABAlert, what Merrill did with investments in the sub-prime market estimated at $15 billion is not yet known. 'One often-cited theory is that the bank transferred the banged-up investments from an available-for-sale account within its brokerage unit to a hold to maturity portfolio at affiliate Merrill Lynch Bank in late June.'"

“'Such a move,' the article continues, 'would have enabled the company to follow friendlier accounting procedures, since the contents of the for-sale portfolio must be marked to market [assigned a value based on what they would fetch at current market rates] on a routine basis and the values of assets in the hold book don’t have to be updated until they come due or are sold.'”

It sounds like America is following the practices of Japan when their own banks went insolvent during the '90s....

Ron Paul is a Weasel.
He really is NOT a Libertarian or a Republican or a Conservative.
If you really listen between the lines of what he is saying you will notice
An Islametised French message.
It goes kinda like this.
‘ we dumb Americans have no integrity, we shall not stand up and defend our way of life,
we shall not stand up and defend our allies, we have no roots, we shall only do things that make us ‘look’ good, right and wrong, good and bad are all the same, success is evil, etc.etc.

its about killing this great country softly.

We aught not jump and support him before we understand who is really funding him.

Please only reply after investigating were his funding really comes from, you will then understand his real message.

As an HPer I naturally agree with a lot of things he says, but my gut tells me, he does not have the citizens of the USA in his best interest.

You need to re-read the Constitution and the positions of our founding fathers. "No entangling alliances" was one of Washington's core tenets. So was the maintenance of a "very limited" standing army, to avoid this whole "Superpower" moniker, of which supporting same has been a huge waste of money and resources.

A few idiots are playing Chris Wallace on this thread trying to twist Ron Paul positions to make him look bad. It's not gonna work, crooks. Here's why:

1) He never advocated passengers taking guns on airplanes. His position is that the *airlines* should have the right to protect their private property and their passengers as they see fit, for instance by allowing pilots or other crew members access to guns on board. The federal government should have no say on this matter.

2) Regarding the CIA and the FBI, as far as I know Ron Paul has only suggested that the CIA could be at least reduced in size, especially if you change foreign policy towards non-interventionism and eliminate useless wasteful programs like the "war on drugs".
A lot of CIA's activities are border line, if not flat out, criminal; like financing and supporting military coups, political assassination, drug smuggling, and other delightful actions beyond US borders, which more often than not blow back on American people's face. As for the FBI, I've never heard anything about its elimination coming from Ron Paul's mouth (only Chris Wallace's).

3) He won't take us back to the old gold standard overnight. What he's repeatedly said is that he would legalize competition between fiat Fed money and a hard asset backed money system (gold and silver), leaving the market to sort out which one is best. In other words, make gold and silver legal tender again. Simple as that.

4) As far as Ron Paul being a pacifist or an idealist, that's just bullshit. He is more than willing to go to war if there's a REAL threat to national security provided that it's done in a CONSTITUTIONAL manner, i.e. war declaration signed by Congress.

So to all of you naysayers and haters: we know who you are, we know where you come from, we know and have suffered your twisted worldview for decades, we see how you're eroding the foundations of America, but we won't take it anymore. This time there's a true American running for office and his name is Ron Paul.
