DAMNIT!! ron paul is so real and realistic he sounds crazy.....

damn damn this world we live in. generations from now his name is gonna be a legend.

 

[RKoho]

I hope that comment about the fences being used to keep us in made some people in the audience think

It made him sound conspiratorial. Watch the media use it to play up the 'crank, crazy Paul' narrative.

Un-huh, it made me think.

 

[Corto_Maltese]

Peter Schiff mentioned it a lot in his senate bid. They are correct of course and I hope the people see it.

 

[sorianofan]

He also got the history student vote.

So that's me, you, and 13 other people in America.

 

[bluesc]

Dammit. I hate MSNBC. I hated the "it will be used to keep us in" comment. What's going on??

 

[TheBlackPeterSchiff]

Did Ron Paul ..is trending.

 

[Ireland4Liberty]

Ron is better w/o the notes

Yes, I agree. I notice him looking down during a sentence and I feel it is putting him off his stride.

 

[foofighter20x]

that was an unnecessary comment about keeping us in.

Happened for over 20 years in Berlin. It's no stretch of the imagination on his part.

 

[anewvoice]

the problem with many of his answers is he tries to put 3 topics in all at once. I don't think that's what America is all about was nice.

Keep in mind that a fence keeps us in... That's going to blow some minds, might be used to say he's engaging in conspiracy theories, but it is a thought provokin statement.

Benefits cause illegal immigration, border fence is unAmerican, fences keep us in as well as bad guys out

Wish he would have noted that Perry gives benefits to illegal immigrants too, was an opportunity

 

[devil21]

I thought it was a fine response that hopefully will get people thinking about alternate uses of things that government pushes. Do people really think everything government does is for their benefit? I guess MSNBC viewers might but I know better.

eta: Btw, note the downers on this thread like PastaTroll. Trolls are around trying to bring your enthusiasm down. Don't fall for it.

 

[Romulus]

that was an unnecessary comment about keeping us in.

Yeah... not a good angle really..

btw, that was Jesse Venture who said the fence will keep us in....

I agree with idea, but politically....not good....

 

[bunklocoempire]

He also got the history student vote.

+ rep


Bunkloco

 

[speciallyblend]

ron just kicked ass, you nay sayers are trippin!!

 

[Harry96]

that was an unnecessary comment about keeping us in.

Are you people out of your minds?! That was an awesome -- and very accurate -- observation. It was the elephant in the room with all of that fence talk, and Ron manned up and said it.

 

[low preference guy]

fences keeping us in. Going a little conspiracy there. not against hearing about that. sininster government.

they're already trying to keep the rich in. just read about all the taxes you have to pay to renounce citizenship.

 

[therealist]

Ron Paul should have emphasized changing the drug policy in terms of narco-terorism


say no to Alex Jones

 

[ronpaulfollower999]

I hope that comment about the fences being used to keep us in made some people in the audience think

Americans don't know how to think unfortunately.

 

[Brett85]

Very bad answer by Ron on the immigration issue. Advocating for open borders in a GOP primary isn't going to work.

 

[FreedomProsperityPeace]

I don't like Dr. Paul dropping a comment like that without the time to explain what he means in detail. I think it just confuses people.
