Kudlow fired up in defense of Ron Paul`s economic policies

[TheTexan]

Kudlow and guy on bottom right = awesome.

They didn't really do a good job defending him. Top right guy made the case that all the Republicans want to cut spending, and what sets RP apart is he wants to decriminalize drugs, and they didn't really correct him. RP is the only one that wants to cut spending.

 

[Jeremy Tyler]

Yeah I'm not sure how good this video actually was. Cause that one guy was lying left and right and no one was correcting him.

 

[puppetmaster]

I sometimes wonder how many of these guys get checks from the CIA.....

Not really. Maybe you remember Perry`s gaffe at that debate when he mentioned cutting 3 gov agencies. Others want to cut also but no one is so serious about cutting spending like Paul.

It`s not about being good propaganda video for the campaign. Kudlow often has a number of guests grouped in 2 sides when debating an issue. Some in favor and some against.
What`s interesting is that the mainstream is coming around to Paul. Kudlow had Paul on a number of times in the past but was usually pumping other GOP candidates. This is the beggining of a major shift as they start to realize Paul is the only good alternative business wise and putting economy back on track.

Don`t know if anyone caught the segment on CNN when Erin Burnett mentioned she talked to few business people and one of the biggest bond investors was in favor of Paul as president. CNN cut her short but I`d really like to know who that bond investor is.
Idea is that business community is opening up to idea of Paul as president and start to see lots of benefits, while Romney seems less inspiring because he breeds uncertainty.

Kudlow is in our corner though. No doubt about it.

Much doubt about it. Kudlow doesn't like to do the dirty work himself, but often had guests on to attack Austrian economics in the form of Peter Schiff. He was a great fan of Greenspan and the Fed. He just wants our fiat currency to be the best in the world (king dollar), but he doesn't share any other concerns with Austrians.

… there's the new narratives:

• Young people only want weed.
• His supporters HATE the military
• His supporters don't understand economics

Added to the:

• Misunderstanding of foreign policy

At least 2/3 want sound money.

O'Reilly stated last night on the Factor that the only reason the young crowd voted for PAUL is because he wants to legalize weed. Asshole, as I yelled at the TV. Dick Morris DID defend Paul stating it was his message and enthusiasm that draws the younger crowd. I still can't tolerate Morris though either. He is a bigger asshole than Bill.

The WAR has begun...let's finish it!

Can someone tube the Kudlow video?

I don't know. He specifically said in this video that he wants a gold standard and has always been very kind to Paul. I think you read too much into the fact that he has people who dissent from that view on his show.

 

[helmuth_hubener]

Reich is terrified

He was pretty funny for a Treasury boss, though. He screamed "I read it when I was six years old!!", referring to Hayek's The Constitution of Liberty. That was funny. No one's read the Constitution of Liberty! Even I haven't read the Constitution of Liberty!

They may all say they want to cut, but let me phrase that a different way. Ron Paul is the only one who will cut. Every President in the last 100 years has increased the size and scope of government, and Ron Paul is the only one that has any intention of reversing that trend. The others will not cut, for each department that they do cut (if any) they will add 2 more.

 

[georgiaboy]

Ha! Classic. Love it.

"Do you want the gold standard?"

-"Yes!"

"Do you want the gold standard?"

-"Yes!"

He changed his tune over the years. He can't really continue to say things like the economy is in great shape and the housing market will keep going up. Schiff and Ron Paul were right, Kudlow was wrong. If Kudlow supports Ron now, that's great. But no doubt he still gives the caveat that he disagrees with Ron on foreign policy.

 

[Keith and stuff]

Great video but that Keynesian was wrong on a lot of points, or at least misleading. Ron Paul hasn't called for legalizing marijuana. His Plan to Restore America doesn't call for ending the federal reserve or a gold standard. Also, most of the young Ron Paul supporters I know don't hate or dislike the troops. As for legalizing marijuana, it is certainly true that the majority of young people (Republican, Democrat and other) support that. However, I am not sure if I even met a single Ron Paul activist that said that was their top issue. It may be for some people but it isn't very common.

I have not.

 

[axiomata]

Its just Ron's grandma support chanting "End th Fed" at his rallies. Duh.

 

[TheTexan]

"End the Fed" is just short for "End the Federal war on drugs so we can all smoke pot"

 

[normal_rc]

I lost a lot of respect for Kudlow when he supported the Wall Street bailouts.

He spent years ranting about free markets, free markets, free markets.

But then his buddies on Wall Street needed help in 2008, so he supported the Wall Street bailouts, and mumbled some excuse about how this was the one time big government socialism made sense.

At least Rick Santelli stood firm, and opposed the Wall Street bailouts.

I hate this argument. I just turned 21 and I spend a good majority of my time listening to mises.org lectures and reading Rothbard, Hayek, Mises, and various other works on libertarian thought, economics, history, etc... The one thing the media doesn't understand is the fact that we actually know what Ron is talking about to a tee and understand/know a lot of things the average voter does not. Hell, we know more than the average informed voter.

 

[Crystallas]

Ugh... Robert Reich. He's being propped up as the new Krugman for the reservists.

Kudlow: "wild!...free markets"

lol
