Video update - Jesse Benton on C-SPAN Washington Journal 1/3/12

It's funny because Jesse literally uses some of Ron's talking points word for word that I've heard in countless Ron Paul videos.

I assume Jesse influences Ron's language significantly.

I find myself copying Ron's mannerisms too when talking about politics. It's a little weird sometimes, i'm like "wtf, did I just go WWWEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLL"

Did Benton just say that our deficit is over 15 trillion dollars?

Actually, I'm thinkin' it is the other way around. lol

 

[Cody1]

That last caller needs to go play in the highway. Ron Paul lost her vote because he "can't articulate liberty"?

People in politics and media mix the word "deficit" and "debt" all the time. Grrrr

 

[undergroundrr]

Ron Paul is one of the most comprehensively great and appealing speakers who ever lived in the last 3000 years. LOL at everybody who thinks Jesse Benton, Doug Wead, Rand Paul, Thomas Woods, etc. etc. etc. are better. Luckily, they're able to adequately surrogate for him when necessary. But they pale next to the unalloyed gold that is Ron.

Lol yeah, except he wrote a whole book called "Liberty Defined"

 

[suoulfrepus]

I'm not satisfied with how Benton responded to that last question. He could have at least referred to Paul's book.

 

[pauladin]

If Ron is so incapable of articulating liberty, how the hell has he woken up millions?

Yepp 15.128 Trillion as of now.

aah deficit missed that word =)

 

[zacharyrow]

Maybe I should just not watch any news channel. MSNBC is a freaking joke. They just did everything they could not to mention Ron Paul, and everything they can do to mention Rick Santorum.

They talked about New Hampshire and mentioned every candidate EXCEPT RON PAUl! And, he is polling in second there! It's insane.

 

[georgiaboy]

great job, Jesse! Most callers were pro-Ron Paul, and so supportive, even helping make points for Jesse. We're in this together, and we know our stuff.

RP2012!!

got tubz?

If Ron is so incapable of articulating liberty, how the hell has he woken up millions?

Ron would be the first to admit that he isn't a teleprompter-reading, firebreathing, stump-speech expert. He's an imperfect messenger conveying a perfect message.

If Ron can't speak the message effectively enough, he certainly lives it better than anyone else in America. And actions speak much louder than words. Through his actions he's convinced millions of us that Liberty is the answer to our problems. That's significant. He's bringing out real change!

Michele Bachmann is on now!? Who the hell is running her campaign!?!? She's spending time on C-SPAN on the biggest day of her political career!? Where are her surrogates?!

But Jesse Benton was just on, I think C-Span giving more pro-Paul surrogates time would be unfair to the other candidates. =D
