The weekends are usually lower volume of donations that the weekdays. All the regular Ron Paul minutemen will be waiting for tomorrow. That means the upswing must be due to newbies!

Between Cramer, NOW, Dr. Mercola (again in his newsletter), and all our efforts and advertising, new donors!

Cramer is...

an opportunist. This is a great interview because Cramer wants to align himself with a winner, with great opportunity.
By the naysayer's own definition, then, Ron Paul is electable because those (like Cramer) that want to align with the winner are aligning with Ron Paul.
woot

This IS a great interview...

not necessarily because of Cramer's motivations, genuine, selfish or not. His attitude may of course matter when it comes to future spots. But this interview was a very enthusiastic and valuable introduction of Dr. Paul to the Cramer Mad Money audience, even if its a one-off.

I don't think it is a one-off.

Based on Cramer's closing words, I believe we will be hearing a lot more on what's wrong, exactly, with the 'Federal Reserve' on Mad Money. You couldn't ask for a more emphatic performer for the cause, even if he is a recent convert. AND to a hugely influential audience!

not true

Cramer genuinely likes him and agrees with his views on money and the economy. Cramer has nothing to gain by supporting Ron Paul, he just understands it would be better for everyone if the Federal Reserve stopped ripping us off. This interview was not Larry King telling Bill Clinton that Ted Turner was prepared to "serve him" should he be elected president, as in this off air moment between them:

Yes, Cramer is an opportunist - I would say hypocrite

Jim Cramer makes his money through inflation via edges funds. He claims he believes the FED is responsible of the monetary problem, however when the opportunity to call on the FED to print more money to bail him our of his $100 million net worth, he does not hesitate to change his mind - after all, it is for a good cause.

See this video and you will see what Cramer wants from the FED. He gets a bit emotional, so be aware:

There is no hypocrisy

I make money from inflation caused by the Feds... ok, ok... I don't lose money because I own gold.

Cramer

It was an excellent interview and Cramer led the discussion and from what I could see very fair to Dr. Paul's ideas on the Federal Reserve System. Rather than excellent, I should say it was an OUTSTANDING
Interview

Great interview - I agree

I agree this is a great interview. My point is Cramer is willing to change camp whetever he perceive it will be better for him. Since the Ron Paul Revolution is gaining momentum, he wants to be part of it. Hating the FED does not mean he is against inflation. Again, watch the YouTube video and see for yourself:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GY5nfytTQT8

I was never attacking the Ron Paul interview with Jim Cramer. It is good for us to get the message passed around, and the Cramer interview is a great vehicule against the Federal Reserve. I would never vote for Cramer because he may change his mind in the future. Ron Paul is a man of principle and integrity - a true hero in my eyes.

Cramer is not saying he is for inflation

In the video you posted Cramer clearly blames Greenspan's lowering of the interest rates for creating the problem, by enticing people to buy expensive homes with teaser mortgage rates. Now Bernanke, by raising the rates, is causing millions of people to lose their homes. He is complaining about the Fed lowering and raising rates and interfering with the economy, he is not saying he likes inflation.

You either don't watch Mad

You either don't watch Mad Money and know Cramer's track record or you didn't watch the interview closely.

Nonetheless, that you are on Daily Paul makes you my brother or sister.

You are right, I don't watch Mad [Money]. I have no TV.

The perception of reality does not change reality. For instance, I may think the Earth is flat, however thinking so does not change the reality (the Earth is not flat). Similarly, thinking someone is an opportunist, or hypocrite, does not change the reality. Cramer may be a genuine coherent man, however at the moment, I think not.

In the YouTube video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GY5nfytTQT8), I noticed Cramer calling for lowering the interest rate, that is, calling in favor of inflation. Cramer may blames the Federal Reserve, however the Federal Reserve is the only culprit behind inflation. Calling for inflation by lowering the interest rate is granting power to the Federal Reserve. In my opinion, this call to action is contradictory to the abolition of the Federal Reserve. Again, I could be wrong. I know little about Jim Cramer and his show Mad Money.

I think abolishing the Federal Reserve would be good for almost all kind of investors because the erosion of the purchasing power of the money eventually leads to no real gain through investment.

DanMorin, you're exactly right

The views Cramer espouses on Mad Money run counter to Ron Paul's views.

Cramer thinks the Feds should have lowered by 50 basis points this last time.

Ron Paul thinks if the Federal Reserve is to exist, it should let the markets decide what the interest rates are.

Cramer thinks the JOB of the Fed is to keep recession at bay.

Ron Paul doesn't thinks the Fed should be abolished all together and has no job in a sound monetary system.

Right now, the only things they have in common are:
They both hate the Federal Reserve.
They both think the economy is going to crap.
They both are YouTube hits for slamming the Federal Reserve.

explain to me what I am missing

Please don't just try to say that I don't know what I am talking about. That does not contribute to the discussion.

Jim Cramer is an eternal

Jim Cramer is an eternal bull... which means, he thinks prices should go up.

Whether they go up because these companies actually adding that much value to the world, or whether they go up because of inflation, he doesn't care. His mantra is, "There's a bull market somewhere, and I'll help you find it."

Lately, the economy has been going to crap, and all his predictions have gone that way as well. And he's been counting on the Federal Reserve to lower rates... the way the Feds under Greenie have always done.

Bernanke isn't giving Cramer and the Wall Street class a lower interest rate because Bernanke says that inflation is still a factor.... this is what is pissing off Cramer. From watching his show (almost daily), he's been criticising the non-intervention of the Federal Reserve and thought... "screw this, I'm going to popularize a guy who hates the Fed as much as me."

Cramer believes that the JOB of the Federal Reserve is to keep recessions from happening. Watch the interview closer. Cramer specifically says that the "Federal Reserve isn't doing their jobs."

Ron Paul believes that the Federal Reserve has no job to do in the free-market economy.

Sweet!!

Being a finance guy, I absolutely LOVED this clip. Paul being on Cramer, in a positive interview, has exposed him to MILLIONS of investors who follow Jim Cramer religiously.

I love it!

Go RON PAUL!

Home Run!

At this rate Dr Paul is going to pass Barry Bonds in the record books! He NEVER gives a bad interview, they just go from good to great. Put him on any forum and let the public decide.

One little nit is that it wouldn't hurt for him to show a lttle love back to the interviewerlike, "Thanks alot for having me on, I look forward to returning and please keep up your good work in spreading the message."

Joe

I liked Cramer before this interview...

...Now I really like him! Great interview!

over 400k in one day Dec 11-12

Did anyone notice the funds raised on the official website went from around 10.8 million to 11.2 million between Dec 11 evening and Dec 12 morning right before the Iowa debate? The funds have been going up pretty steadily at about 100k a day, except for that big jump. Did some people get confused and think that the 12th was tea party day? Or was it maybe from fundraising events hosted by the campaign, or something to do with the debate publicity?

The campaign added

a bunch of off line donations at that time. no worries, they just took that time to add from sources other than on line.

Nice wasn't it?

Cramer - Paul

I like Cramer and I like Paul.

But I think the interview also helped voters who may see some of his financial goals in a more radical light (IE: returning to the gold standard, massive reduction of the federal government, revoking the income tax, etc).


A positive is everyway.


My First Post on DailyPaul

Been viewing site for quite a while, Great site and purpose! Up late and came across Cramer video, that man does have enthusiasm Great video, sent a news link to infowars.com, hope they'll post the video there.

The Cramer Effect

It is well known on Wall Street that the "Cramer Effect" exists. Whenever Cramer touts a stock that stock rises immediately. He even cautions viewers not to buy a stock he recommends right away because of this effect. When he says something is a buy, it always goes up. Although his style is wild with all his sounds effects and screaming, he is probably the most influential voice on Wall Street.

His interview with Dr. Paul may be the most influential interview of the entire campaign so far. To see the two of them agree so much about the Fed was exhilarating to say the least. Cramer moves the financial market routinely. It is possible that this interview can move the political market to the same degree. Certainly all his fans have now crossed over to Dr. Paul. Maybe those of his observers have taken note also.

Without a doubt Cramer made Wall Street take note of Dr. Paul.

Cramer

I love that he just gave Ron Paul millions of viewers that were on the fence about Ron Paul.

Make no mistake, Cramer is rooted in the system that exists. He's just pissed that the Federal Reserve has been making a fool of his Dow Jones Industrials by end-of-year-2007 prediction of 14,400.

Cramer thinks interest rates should be at rock bottom... which is to say he's a proponent of stealing from savers and giving to Wall Street bankers. He is certainly a part of the Wall Street class.

Nonetheless, if anger with the Federal government brings people together, I welcome his quasi-endorsement.

I Agree

You hit the nail on the head. In fact the good Dr. had to correct him on humans determining interest rates.

Generating support for true,

Generating support for true, genuine monetary reform is a matter of opportunity and momentum.

Yes, Cramer exists in the current system, but dont underestimate his desire to sieze this opportunity to facilitate true reform-- he has long term interests to protect, and he knows the existing structure of our monetary system is unsustainable.

Be thankful for this interview. He has painted us in a very positive light infront of a very powerful, very large bloc of voters-- individual investors.

Yes, I'm thankful that his

Yes, I'm thankful that his interests align with mine and we both align with Dr. Paul's.

If the Federal Reserve had cut 50 basis points or more this last go around, I'd bet all my money that Cramer wouldn't have given Dr. Paul the time of day.

I watch his show with a jaundice-eye: what Cramer supports is nearly completely opposite of what Paul supports. Cramer wants Federal Reserve interventionalism. And at this point in time, Bernanke is actually closer to doing what Ron Paul wants (i.e. lowering only 25 basis points and keeping a hawkish eye on inflation) than what Cramer wants (i.e. lowering 50-basis points or more to keep the punch-bowl flowing).

Fantastic!! Major "endorsement"

Kramer has a lot of viewers. Fantastic interview. Kramer did say that he has invited all of the Presidential candidates on his show. That would be comical.

How wonderful would it be to have a roundtable debate with Kramer as moderator and discuss monetary policy. Most of the candidates could not even define M1, M2, or M3.

Ron Paul must be elected to save our Republic.

Mad Money

Cramer has so much energy! God I love this guy.

THE FIRST television

THE FIRST television personality to give Dr. Paul an entire interview without taking a negative shot. He's catchin' on, I'm tellin ya :)

another positive interview

I agree this is the best interview so far. However, Chris Matthews was extremely favorable to him back in this October interview:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvXu9fSV6xE

Also this interview with Lou Dobbs back in April is favorable:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULVal_NuTBA&feature=related

Chris Matthews interview with Dr. Paul

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvXu...

At the end of this interview Chris Matthews says to Ron Paul, "a lot of people agree with you, I dare not say I'm one of them". Does this mean that that he doesn't agree with Ron Paul, or does it mean that he does agree, but in order to keep his job at NBC he dare not say it?

That is the way I took it.

He has to act like he is unbiased.

I love the way Cramer stood by with his hands on his sides...

waiting for the answer he knew he would get. PURE CONFIDENCE!!

THAT WAS AWSOME!!!

Exactly what I was thinking, lo and behold I see my thoughts printed by another poster! Thank You!!

Mad Money

That. Was Awesome! That really gets me psyched that, potentially, lots of people saw that very important and very positive message!

"I love this guy!!!","we

"I love this guy!!!","we need more people like him to stand up to this crap"!!!...('Ron Paul said it's more secret then the CIA"!!.)

'Observe the masses,and do the opposite."

"Observe the masses,and do the opposite."

Someone who is angrier with the Federal Reserve than me?

Great interview. This is how I love to see Dr. Paul. Just laying out the truth. He has plenty of opportunity to slam his opponents, and a lot of justification, yet he gives them the benefit of the doubt. Even the Fed. bankers. Me, I think the people in charge of the Fed. know exactly what they are, and have been, doing. They are either inept, incompetent or criminal. What a wonderful set of options.

AMAZING!!!!

Jim Cramer interview is AMAZING!!!! AMAZING!!!!! I can't believe that an interview could have been any more clear to pointing out that OUR MAN is the BEST MAN!!!!

Smartest man in America

If you know Cramer, he knows whats going on with our economy. He is very smart. Ron Paul with out a doubt is the smartest man in Congress. As a wise Realtor I can tell you we are fuct and the storm has just started brewing. Ron Paul is the last hope. The Bankers I do biz with can't swallow this. We are in trouble. Tell everyone you know about RP. Show them youtube clips. WAKE THEM UP!!! THEY WILL VOTE!!! THEY WILL DONATE.

Mad Money Interview

This is the type of video that should be broadcasted in places like Iowa and New hampshire.

This reminds me of..

the old Chappele's show skit where he is selling Sam Jackson's beer.

"Why are you yelling at me?"
"BECAUSE THAT'S HOW I TALK!"
