Thanks for the tube.
Just what I wanted to wake up to.

Hope drudge posts this.

LOL @ how he wouldn't let georgie get a word in edgewise. that is how you do it Dr. Paul!

News recap: 'Intellectual godfather of the Tea Party', and 'Fierce critic of government spending.' I think we can take that.

But what's with the godfather talk? Not that its really an inaccurate way to describe it, but are they trying to get him confused with former Godfather's CEO Cain? Trying to fix it so half the public thinks he's racist and the other half think he's black?

 

[ronpaulitician]

I think it'll be helpful in the long run because it'll likely make Cain's "Godfather" useless.

Or both! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHFUH_frhBw

Stuck in what believes in, so it was a good interview. Never sway, Paul. Never. He made a great point about paying for someone who wants to live on the coast.

 

[TortoiseDream]

so george is a douchebag....

 

[sratiug]

Sounded like they had his microphone across the room somewhere. I think we need observers in the mixing rooms.

I think he realizes he needs to be more assertive this time around. The '07 announcement he was nothing if not cute about it. This time he's taking the bull by the horns!

Good thing, too. Last round we dealt with quite enough of what comes out of the other end of the bull, thank you very much.

Argh! I haven't even gotten to Ron proper!! What is that asinine introduction 'he's against getting bin Laden [bull!] he wants to legalize drugs and prostition [decriminalize at the FEDERAL level for states to regulate!].......

OK, I'll go watch it, but my opinion of Streptococcus and his network is about what it was before.

All Bull Crap?

That works. Ron has to watch for that 'stick the knife in in the introduction THEN ask a question' so the knife gets 'conceded'. He did at least say 'I want to qualify that drug bit' but could have said 'I think the states can pass those laws and the question of heroin legalization is unlikely to be seriously raised in any state. I had been responding to an unserious question.' Then moving on. But there was clearly a mike problem of some sort. Not a great interview, actually, they advertised him as fringe throughout. He might have been better to go with Cavuto who wouldn't have done that (even the Judge is doing it, lauding him as going to 'end social security and legalize drugs' even though the judge knows better.)

Well, I guess we're in campaign mode, and have to use the media regardless of its spin, and just take that into account.

I used to call this guy Stuffafffufa because I couldn't be bothered to learn his real name, but I saw on this forum that it is really Streptococcus, so I will try to remember in the future.

I think Dr. Paul stuck to his message and the answers he wanted to give. He handled it great by refusing to be cutoff and continuing as long as he damn well pleased.

Yeah, but it could be taken more than one way. I think Ron is great, and the ones the networks want to paint as mainstream never get the crap he deals with all the time from media.

 

[eqcitizen]

This whole bin laden thing might hurt him with the die hard conservatives. He position is the correct one and i love the Nazi prosecution analogy but average america might not get the nuance.

Yeah... lots of first order reflections in there.

It's how it's gonna be throughout the whole campaign.

NO way the bootlickers are going to give the - one candidate who truly wants to give the government back to the people - a fair shake.

Not happenin'.
