Video update - Ron Paul on Fox News w/ Megyn Kelly 1/13/12

[Kevin Smyth]

Fox is going to hammer Paul on Iran because that is his weakness to FOX viewers. I hope Ron has really revised and thought about how he is going to reach "soft" neo-cons and not get painted as weak. They are going to show that Ron essentially would do nothing if Iran got a nuke.

If I were FOX, I would ask the question: If you have actionable intelligence that Iran has or is about to have a nuke, as President what would you do?

Quite Frankly, Ron doesn't have a good answer for this...even for me as an anti-war supporter. His answers are not good enough.
His position is that he would let Iran have a nuke, right? Ron is going to make the case they aren't on the verge of getting a nuke, they can't even make their own gasoline, etc....But why are Iranian Scientists getting killed??

He needs to come up with a middle ground to satisfy FOX viewers...he could say, if intelligence comes up in that is credible that Iran has a nuke and would use, I would go to Congress to get authority to strike those sites, they would be gone. That would shut up FOX for a while.

Agreed, he needs to talk macho and say, "We've got 15,000 nukes so even if Iran got this one nuke they wouldn't dare use it because they know we wouldn't tolerate that."

yes, FOX after asking Ron what he would do with Iran have Mittens on to declare ww3.

They are going to try to hit him on the marines pissing on that dead guy...mark my words. They want him on record criticizing the troops.

You've been warned campaign.

Iran having a nuke prevents war; it keeps Israel at bay

Now they're talking about the Huckabee Forum where RP decided not to attend.

 

[low preference guy]

And open a whole host of other problems.

He has to stick to the truth. The US has no authority or the money to go around playing world police.

little babies with bruised egos don't get erections

He could answer: I oppose the troops being there, I think they should be home.

Pretty much.

Ratings = $ and a pat on the head for the war salesman.

I´d rather say that war = fear = ratings = $$$$$$

 

[swissaustrian]

Ok he'll be on right after the war propaganda

Yes good point. I think he needs to say something like "war has never been pleasant and can have deep psychological effects on our troops" or "war is hell and that's why we need to think carefully before sending our troops over there" or something to that effect. Also mention the high number of suicides and stress that these multiple deployments are affecting them. That way he won't be condeming nor condoning those acts.

btw having combat veterans in my family I've heard some really horrifc stories that I can't repeat. And truth be told none of them ever came back the same as before they left.

 

[BUSHLIED]

He should not say ONE bad thing about the troops, in fact, he should sympathize with them...let FOX try to make the case against the troops NOT Paul....

A good response:
"That kind of thing happens in the military. No one cares when there is a war. The problem is nation building. Our troops were never meant to and never SHOULD be used for nation building."

 

[RDM]

coming up in 10 minutes

 

[r3volution]

"Coming up, the candidate who says he has no plans of dropping out..." FU Kelly.

…better be ready for the propaganda question. Must appear able to defend the U.S. but temper that message with actual facts to combat the propaganda.

This interview is a setup to try and halt his surge in SC with his "weakest" issue.
