Article 1 Section 8.

Example: Location of a post office.

honestly dude, we get it...

unfortunately, as much as you'd like to prop Dr. Paul up as a Living reincarnation of Jesus himself, the man has a friggin job to do, and that job includes securing as much money as he can for his constituents.

What part of the Constitution endorses such thievery and greed? Article and Section please, or the section of the Congressional Oath:

You're approaching this like Huckatard approaches the bibles (re: the earth is 3 thousands years old). Enough already..

Actually it's the fanboys who believe RP walks on water and that his flaws are virtues.

Post Offices are authorized by the Constitution. Shrimp are not.

So you'd be ok if the "rule" for selecting the speaker was a duel to the death?

It would be Constitutional, and we might get to nickname the Capitol building "the Thunderdome."

ok, you win.

Dr. Paul is just as corrupt, if not more than all the rest running for president, including Romney, McCain, Guilina, and Hillary.

 

[newmedia4ron]

I thought it went well. Reading the comments here I afraid to watch it but Ron handled it very well.

 

[fj45lvr]

I picked up something interesting in Paul's reasoning on the Reagan issue.

Paul said that Reagan was a total failure and yet Paul uses Reagan in his campaign literature due to what he stood for.

If the same logic were to be applied to Bush (a man whose policies Paul supported when Bush ran for office in 2000), then there is some justification of having Bush's images in Paul's campaign literature as well.

Clearly, Paul is making a judgement call as to which one of those Presidents, having run on decent campaign issues, was less of a failure once elected to office.
.

Paul didn't vote for GW either election (his own words)...he may have agreed on what was "said" but not the whole package obviously.

Reagan did state that Conservatism is actually Libertarianism so on this front he was so right in his understanding...too bad in so many ways he didn't follow through with shutting off the spigots (when the demographic had the people that could actually understand what had happened over time).

When was the last time a republican actually followed through on promises to limit government and actually REDUCE it????

Romney vs. Ron Paul

If you guys think this was hostile, then you evidently don't want [sic] 'Meet the Press'. Last week, Romney got murdered on the show.

WRONGO. After your comment, I did watch last week's interview. Romney was never interrupted ONCE! He got to ramble ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON with NONSENSE about his insane conflicts. The bias does indeed continue AGAINST Ron Paul. Romney was murdered in SUBSTANCE, but not BY THE INTERVIEWER like was the case with Ron Paul. In Ron Paul's interview the interviewer had NOTHING of substance to accuse Ron Paul with, so assumed an aggressive interrupting attitude.

Seriously, this is a good example of continued media bias. Check it out people. Watch Romney's and Paul's Meet the Press interviews. You'll see for yourself.

I did. Romney's interview went A LOT worse. This was a pretty good interview.

 

[B of R guy]

I watched the interview againa and I have to say RP and my initial concern was misplaced. RP did a GREAT JOB in controlling the interview and DELIVERING HIS MESSAGE!

 

[iddo]

I watched the interview just now, and RP was really great, wow...
I guess with so many pages in this thread (I didn't read any of it) different people here maybe complain about some minor points, but overall I think RP got his chance and delivered the message in almost the best way possible.
Anyone watching who wasn't familiar with RP should be left with quite a strong impression (unlike when watching the other candidates of course).

If Paul refused to earmark money that had been COLLECTED FROM HIS CONSTITUENTS and have it reinvested in his area, then he wouldn't be in congress longer than a term.

Pull your perfect world head out from underneath you and realize that in order to change the flawed system, he has to operate from within it.

If you don't believe this, tell me, then, which candidate has the moral standing to do this and is better than Dr. Paul?

I know that we're all in love with Ron Paul, but c'mon, you're literally making shit up. Romney got owned.

Please drop the MSM conspiracy bullshit, because it's just not true, and claiming it's true wastes both your time and this campaign's energy. Paul did poorly today because he flubbed a lot of answers that he should have aced. The earmarks question should have been a slam dunk. The Israeli question he answered perfectly on Beck, and barely managed to spit it out on Russert.

It wasn't Russert screwing with Paul, it was Paul dropping the ball. And it's not even Paul's fault. Paul's campaign should have thought up how to deal with all of those questions long ago.

It looks like Musicmax's quote of me has a format problem that cascades with every new quote.

He did the same thing he's been doing since the beginning. He doesn't play the game the way the mainstream media (and, granted, the mainstream public) expect the game to be played. He's not slick, he's not polished and, most importantly, he's not full of shit. A lot people are seeing that and like it. A lot never will. If that means he can't win in American politics, it's a sad commentary on our system and our nation. If the voting public wants to be sold a bill of goods, then they'll get fleeced yet again.

But I still have hope that enough of them are waking up, turning OFF the television and finally paying attention, to make a real difference. I guess we'll see.

Changing the issue at hand from an absolute to a relative shows that you recognize that earmarks are indefensible. Progress, I suppose.

 

[Ball]

All Romney did was hang himself with the rope he was given.

Huckabee will be more elusive. He comes from a long line of teflon-coated AR governors starting with Rockefeller.

 

[BuddyRey]

I'm not very clear on what this business with earmarks is all about, but overall, I thought Ron Paul looked VERY SHARP today! You can always tell when he's gotten plenty of rest, and when he's on his game. Favorite Ron Paul moment was when he compared a theoretical Iranian invasion of Israel to Iran trying to invade Mars.

 

[Ron2Win]

Just rewatched it couple minutes ago.
I think I was too nervous the first time around and saw too many flaws.
I think he was perfect, even being comical at times and correcting Tim sometimes.
