Wolf Blitzer: GOP snubs Ron Paul (Interviews Rand)

[green73]

 

[ShaneEnochs]

So what is your tactic Rand?

 

[Sematary]

It sounds to me like Rand is trying to walk a fine line. In order to be a significant piece in the future, he needs to "compromise" but he also needs to remain a libertarian Republican. If the concessions he are willing to make don't take away from the liberty movement and enhance our opportunities to gain the Whitehouse in the future then I'm certain that he believes he is doing the right thing and we won't know until the future unfolds.

So Rand wants every senior in American to have the same health coverage as Congress-critters? Did I interpret that right?

Edit: Every senior.....

 

[Sematary]

So Rand wants every American to have the same health coverage as Congress-critters? Did I interpret that right?

No. He said that the federal government could save a trillion dollars by giving every SENIOR CITIZEN (aka - retired person collecting medicaide/medicare) the same plan that Congress has. Not sure what that's all about.

 

[phill4paul]

No. He said that the federal government could save a trillion dollars by giving every SENIOR CITIZEN (aka - retired person collecting medicaide/medicare) the same plan that Congress has. Not sure what that's all about.

Yeah, caught that during the second listen through. Thanks.

I wonder how that would work? Need more details.... 100 Billion a year is nothing to sneeze at.

 

[Sola_Fide]

So what is your tactic Rand?

I think its important that Rand said it was a difference in tactic and not a difference in the positions. And then he mentioned that he was going to challenge defense spending in his speech. That takes intestinal fortitude and leadership. In my view the only tactic I see is that he is actually going to win.

Here's some links that might help explain it...

Placate the seniors and work to reform the system and allow young people to opt out perhaps? It would takes years, even decades to ween ourselves off of it, but might be the most sellable approach. I want to hear more.

The thing that ran through my mind when he said it was that maybe he was trying to show Congress as they hypocrites they are. He knows it's all going to have to be cut and this would cause the illustrious Congress to share in those cuts.

I think Rand has to tread lightly until after this election. Then, we'll see what he's really made of. It will either be time to get on board or dump him. He will let us know through his words and actions.

yep..pretty much where i'm at.

BTW..Wolf gets big brownie points with me defending Ron like that. Very honorable thing to do. Thankyou Mr. Blitzer.

 

[HOLLYWOOD]

Fuck Wolf Biltzer's "I really like your dad..." Wolf had no problem pushing the knife into Ron's back and twisting it on the newsletters, even after the 2007-08 sabotage and all completely explained, Wolf and Communist News Network did it again repeatedly in 2011-12.

Don't ever forget Biltzer and the cast of criminals @ CNN don't like anything but paychecks and ratings to keep the money following to themselves. This false dialog of credibility and compasion on Wolf's behalf is 100% bullshit.

Completely boycott CNN/HLN forever

point taken, however in the 'now' of TV news, the sheeple heard and saw, and Wolf validated what the GOP scum pulled at the convention. Don't take my warm and fuzzies towards Wolf as a sign that i'm not aware of CNN's treachery.

Well I would like to see RON on CNN today, he just has to be careful with CNN's planned division of conservatives/right. As Michael Schueuer abided in his interview to the CNN puppets "they carry the water for Obama".

He is and he's doing well with it. When Romney loses he can stop the games.

That wasn't Blitzer it was Borger. Hannity backstabbed Ron worse than CNN really.

 

[The Gold Standard]

No. He said that the federal government could save a trillion dollars by giving every SENIOR CITIZEN (aka - retired person collecting medicaide/medicare) the same plan that Congress has. Not sure what that's all about.

No, he said that's what he would do. How's that for liberty. More wealth redistribution at gunpoint.

 

[phill4paul]

No, he said that's what he would do. How's that for liberty. More wealth redistribution at gunpoint.

Even Ron Paul's plan did not call for just ending these programs. Even though I understand your view less wealth redistribution is better than the same or more.

No, Wolf Biltzer did bring it up multiple times in Ron's president runs '08 & '12... The Borger/CNN nonsense was just an added hit with the enhanced BS film edited nonsense.
