Stossel Show: RON PAUL REVOLUTION

[sailingaway]

The first of many Ron Paul/Obama debates is about to come.

I just don't see good visual in having Ron debate 'a black man' and call him Obama, particularly with the partisan crowd booing 'Obama' and FOX coming up with his talking points.

Damn, not sure how I missed this thread or show. Good thing it re-airs on Saturday. My DVR is set! woot

 

[Nate-ForLiberty]

You know what I just realized? We're going to make the most powerful figurehead puppet say the words, "Dr. Paul".

....that's right bitch.

Footage of Trump at CPAC saying RP is unelectable.

Stossel: If RP wins GOP nomination, he would debate Obama. Ron has graciously agreed to debate Obama on our show.

1) - Ron supports Free Markets.

Obama - Free Markets not license to do whatever u want. We need more regulation.

RP - Yes, we need regulation of politicians and bueracrats

Stossel - lack of reg caused crash?

RP - No, if u have free market, plenty of regulations. Consumers wont by the products. Contracts. Hurt environment, big trouble. Violating someone s property, big trouble

2) Innovation?

Obama - Gob needs to invest in future. Sputnik did not exist. Wave of innovation created millions of jobs

RP - He make assumption it won't happen unless Gov involved. Funds would be sent by markeptlace. Inefficiency punished.

Obama - Let me be clear

Audience LOLS

 

[KramerDSP]

Obama - I want 80% of americans to have access to high rail

RP - Gov out of way, ALL americans cld have access. Gov has to steal from someone else or print money out of thin air

 

[Nate-ForLiberty]

This mock debate started out weird, but the good doc has found his stride. I think he sees the humor in having an Obama impersonator on.

 

[KramerDSP]

Obama - Budget cuts on ur proposal are too much - that tells us we cant afford the america we believe in

RP - Hell yeah. Less gov the better. Let people produce. "we need money for pell grants, but we dont have any!?" Should depend on free people caring for themselves and innovating themselves for better transporation

Obama - Tax the rich to eliminate the deficit. Most fortunate amongst us can pay a little more. I dont need another tax cut. Buffet doesnt need another tax cut.

RP - Liberal dems like to stick it to rich. Just tax rich we will solve problems. If u rich and love corporatism and making a lot of money, why shouldnt we tax u because ure ripping off ameircan taxpayers? I can agree with that!

Commerical break

 

[Fermli]

I can't focus on the debate because i keep laughing at the obama impersonator.

 

[KramerDSP]

This is the most bizarre show evar! In a good way though!! A frickin hour special dedicated to RP, what in the hell is happening??....so good!! Saw Nathan Cox in the audience too haha. Stossel is the man

You got that right. Most bizarre thing I have seen in quite a while. But in a good way!

 

[zacharyrow]

Well that debate wasn't terrible, but it was a little bit odd. I like the show, though. I think it appeals to people who don't know much about him.

Yeah. The Obama guy is hysterical. "Let me be clear...."

Why not? The mainstream right and left have their actors, why can't we have ours? A black man is impersonating Obama, is not racist. Most Republican's aren't going to be offended, it's simply a mock debate, I had them in Highschool. Those who are offended, wouldn't vote for a Republican anyway, so screw the OVERLY POLICTICALLY CORRECT CROWd, you know haters of the 1st amendment.

I think Stossel is truly on our side and showing America what a mockery of principles the RIGHT and LEFT's have.

 

[KramerDSP]

Stossel - Someone calling themselves Dull Geek on Twitter... (Ron trying hard not to crack up) asking about Immigration

Ron - I dont believe in Open Borders, but I dont like people building walls either. Do not support Amnesty. Impossible to round up 15 million people. Does not make sense.

United Nations question - Ron talks about soveriegnity (sp) and founders advice

 

[Austrian Econ Disciple]

Thanks for the live report. Sounds like a fun show today.

 

[KramerDSP]

"Too Big To Fail" - Ron says its jsut a scare tactic. World will come to end if GE bankrupts? No. Banks bail out ? depended on creation of 3.3 trillion from Fed. American people know things not quite OK

Gay Marriage and Abortion - How different from Jerry Falwell - ? Ron says he doesnt know Falwell's position. He says his opinon doesnt matter. States. No one hasd right to impose on someone else. Why even gov involved in straight marriage?

Stossel - Abortion?

Ron - Tougher issue. Personally find very offensive.

Gary Johnson - RP likes how he ran governent in NM. Good record. Don't know all the details of his personal beliefs.

Ron has trouble hearing someone in the audience.

 

[KramerDSP]

Ron - I dont have all the answers. I took the philosophy and applied it to diff areas. You may agree and disagree with diff issues. (book)

10 mins left.

 

[KramerDSP]

RonPaul Hawaii's brother? Asking about military budget and how to cut. RP says roughly half right and now a little more later on.

 

[KramerDSP]

Ron - Bin LAden's goals are clear. Wants to drag us in quagmire and bankrupt us. We must admit we are a little responsible - blowback. Truth better than lies.

 

[Koz]

Awesome line about if we have made mistakes with our foreign policy and we are ashamed of that we should face the truth. paraphrasing of course.

Pretty good overall. He just brushed off a Gary Johnson question pretty easily as well.

I think a bunch of independents and progressives are open to voting for Ron, the question is whether they would change registration and vote in the GOP primary. I thought that part was pretty hokey, but Ron definitely had chances to shine here.
