[dancjm]

Ron is OWNING!!!

"troops in Korea since the Korean War", "troops in Japan since WWII", "thats a subsidy to these countries!"

Well said. Amen.

 

[donnay]

Woo Hoo!!!! Dr. Paul spoke wonderfully!!!!! He deserves +50 reps!

 

[JordanL]

What just happened? Following on my phone is killing me!

Ron finally got to speak, and made a big deal out of sighing and wiping his eyebrow before saying, "I thought for a moment there you were prejudice against doctors. A doctor who served in the military."

Next Round: Newt vs Mitt on tax returns

 

[MJU1983]

Please recap last minute!!! No TV

 

[luctor-et-emergo]

HE NAILED IT!!!

Lets keep this going!

 

[flightlesskiwi]

the programs are going to end because we are going bankrupt and runaway inflation will cause our checks to bounce.

can't have cradle to grave care.. can't have world's policemen mentality.

FTW.

but probably went woosh over joe plumber's head.

 

[Giuliani was there on 911]

HAHA frothy didnt get to respond!

LOL

 

[kill the banks]

beauty

 

[SaulPaulinsky]

I wish he would have wrapped that up saying "if you don't elect me to lead the fight against this runaway spending." He sounded too fatalistic, IMO.

 

[Giuliani was there on 911]

Ron's doing great so far

 

[bluesc]

Ron is kicking ass .

He needs to talk more specifically about his plan though.

NO cuts to medicare, block grant Medicaid to states, NO cuts to SS.

 

[nowwearefree]

it is good that he is mentioning japan and korea, because they are lss controversial
i think he did great

 

[coffeewithgames]

COME ON RP! Mention you never took Medicare or Medicaid payments from patients, but did it for free. "Protect the seniors, protect the families, protect this nation. That's what I will do."

 

[donnay]

WE LOVE YOU, DR. PAUL!!!!!!!!

 

[Bruno]

My three week old little boy is cuddled up on my chest, and I swear he just gave an approving smile of Ron's last response!

 

[Pyruuub]

Brilliant. We can't afford it. Period.

 

[chipvogel]

Hopefully Ron will get to wrap up the health discussion in an authoritative (as a doctor) way and punctuate the subject with a degree of finality after these bozos opine.

and thats just what happened...good job

hope some more

 

[Drex]

Ron is doing great!

 

[Brett85]

Ron did a much better job of explaining his foreign policy views, but I'm still not convinced that it's a good idea for Ron to bring up foreign policy issues when he's not actually asked about it.
