Ron Paul Awesome on the Daily Show

on the subject of cutting medicare and other social programs, couldn't RP's position be two-fold:

1. Private companies always do things better than the govt.
2. Its better for the States to handle these things, from education to health care to care for the elderly, in a manner decided by the people of that state

I think a fear for the elderly would be that private enterprise would leave without care. Doesn't a constitutionalist position allow for the states to innovate in social services (or not, should they choose not to)?
 
Tell CNN to give every candidate equal time

Jon Stewart didn't want Ron Paul to leave so he could talk to him on the break. But Ron Paul took off. It was sad.

Ron Paul rocked this interview.

That was a very reasonable interview. Ron Paul never emphasizes/hammers his points home, and instead goes off on a tangent w/o pause. It can be hard to follow, but that is just my 2 cents, and is working so far. I only took intro to public speaking in college and I think RP would get an A but only b/c he is a total badass.

He has to get to New Hampshire from LA and get some rest. We need him sharp for tomorrow. Hopefull he gives Jon a thank you call sometime and they can chat some more.

TOMORROW is huge:
Tell CNN the Time breakdown PER candidate better be better!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And be politie! They already think were nuts! So, try not to metion a specific candidate, just ask that they all get the same treatment and time!


Tell CNN the Time breakdown PER candidate better be better Than last nights

LET THEM KNOW

This is unfair how they allowed candidates 3 TIMES the amount as others. Make sure to stand up to CNN doing this; and demand an equal amount of time for ALL candidates and a poll.
 
Yes

It has always been two fold. Private companies always can do better than the Government especially when there is competition.

Should be the states have any social programs if any are desired by the citizens of that state. It would also be more easy to make any changes desired at the state or local level as the bureaucracy is less. Also cheaper. Right now if the Feds see anything wrong they just throw more money at it instead of changing course.
 
That was a very good move mentioning that he said we should not be afraid of people with a lot of money in entertainment.
 
great interview! thanks for posting it so quickly. jon stewart was great and its obvious he likes him.

i'd like to hear Dr. Paul speak more about empowering the states when he's asked questions about cutting social programs.

1. more efficient, less costly
2. closer to home, more accountable
3. managed by people who live in the state
4. designed by people who live in the state
5. can create partnerships with local private businesses
6. the people can decide how to raise the funds amongst them
7. states will become innovate, share ideas, the best models emerge

i know a polished answer about how much better a state can manage care for the elderly (or any service) than the federal government would make my mom feel a lot more likely to vote for Dr. Paul.
 
"I'm here from the government and I'm here to help you..."

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That was VERY quick.:D
 
Good interview. I wish he would have expanded a little more about "forcing democracy on others" but as it was, he conveyed the point, and the audience
recieved it well. That was the biggest boost we got out of this interview for people seeing him for the first time.

Jon taking shots at Rudy while Ron stayed the gentleman was also nice.
 
I thought he did well. I'm glad he got to talk about some more issues besides the war. People need to see that he is not a one issue candidate.
 
Americans love an underdog. They love a story about an unlikely hero beating extraordinary odds to defeat the big, bad, powerful dark force. Ron Paul is perfect for the role.
 
I see we are at 800 members now on the forums. I wonder if we picked up anyone because they saw Paul on the show?

I've actually been tracking the numbers for a few days now and we have been growing steadily. We were at 723 members on May 31. So in 5 days we've gained 76 members. Not bad. But it will grow even more. These things happen exponentially. There ought to be a celebratory post when we reach 1,000. :)
