Ron Paul on Larry Kudlow / CNBC 1/13/12

Charles Krauthammer has called us kooks and worse.

His offer to have Ron Paul speak at the convention is a disingenuous attempt to pull Ron's supporters over to Romney's side after Romney gets the nomination (as envisioned by the FOX media).

Believe me, there is nothing in Dr. Paul's message that Krauthammer cares for.

He's a war-mongering, NEO-CON full-on.

He is all for foreign aid - especially to Israel.

So let's not fall into his trap.

The ONLY reason he "appears" to support anything Dr. Paul stands for is due to Dr. Paul's success and building momentum.

In other words he is scared and since his hate tactics haven't worked in the past, he is turning to a new tactic.

Like we're all supposed to say; "OK Great - If you let Dr. Paul speak at the convention, we'll all go support whoever the RNC shoves down our throats."

The only way Dr. Paul should speak at that convention is IF HE IS THE NOMINEE!

Otherwise they are just using him to try to get OUR support for THEIR nominee.

I'm hoping for a brokered convention - THEN Ron can speak alright!!!

... attack Romney on the other issues.

Once it's a two man race, Ron Paul will unleash on Mitt, and his ATTACKS WILL BE SEEN WITH AN AIR OF LEGITIMACY SINCE HE DIDN'T TAKE THE BAIT ON BAIN!!!!

Romney, as a result, became very, very rich, and owned $3 million home in New Hampshire. He was going to bulldoze his 3,000 sq. foot $12 million home near a San Diego beach and replace it with an 11,000 sq. foot home instead.

His net worth is $264 million. His company BAIN is now worth $65 billion today.

He NEVER CREATED JOBS…..he pumped and dumped. The bulk
of his personal wealth is in “blind trusts” and overseas bank accounts.

He once said, “They just don’t know how jobs are created in the private sector”. Oh, really!

LIsten up! Romney is IN BED WITH WALLSTREET TITANS, and WILL NEVER BE “FOR THE PEOPLE”, and if Ron Paul is seen by the “people” as someone who would endorse what Romney did, that would be VERY bad, and HEADQUARTERS needs to investigate the “details” and THEN, Dr.Paul can decide what he REALLY THINKS about all this crap. I suspect he will not like DDI at all and may even believe Romney committed fraud!

That's right. I saw "When Romney Comes to Town". Here is the link for the full 30 minute version:

Romney will be pulverized in the election, WHICH PROVES IT'S ALL ABOUT THE 2 PARTY, ONE-HEADED SYSTEM, and the likes of KUDLOW, Krauthammer, Levin, all of them, could care less about you & me. They know he'll lose, and they don't care!

Ron Paul may have only "heard" about the video clip. He needs to see it and dig into some of the unanswered questions like what debt exactly did Romney run up is a question I have. What was that all about in the video? But, the overriding point is that Romney was indeed a "vulture", and 2 of these companies may have failed eventually, but it would have been at the hands of a CEO that cared, not a CEO who was bent on taking advantage & profiting by it. THAT is the point of the video. Dr. Paul could NOT condone this in any way, but he needs to separate himself from Romney on Bain Capital and explain the difference between a company naturally dying and the ones Romney went after which is totally different. Romney operated on the tails of the NAFTA & GATT treaties and contributed to ruining what was left of our manufacturing base in America. He is a scoundrel & an opportunist. I cannot stand the man.

Below is a summary of the film:

MARIANNA, FLORIDA & the UNIMAC CORPORATION, LARGEST LAUNDRY EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURER IN THE NORTHWEST:

BAIN CAPITAL took over UNIMAC, and they forced the workforce to start “cheapening the product” intentionally. What ‘DEBT’ was it the film said he ran up? I don't know. But, Romney called workers, “sloppy & lazy” which smacks of his elitist attitude! Romney slashed paychecks. Then, they shut the doors. It was predestined, imho. Finally, they sold UNIMAC to a Teacher’s Union out of Canada for a huge profit, 230% profit. Hundreds of jobs were lost.

RP would not have done that, if he’d been CEO, which demonstrates ROMNEY'S LACK OF MANAGEMENT BUSINESS SKILLS a s a "CEO". He's no Steve Jobs, that's for sure!

KB TOYS:

Romney bought the 80 year old store in 2000,and loaded it with millions in debt. How did he do that? Then, used the money to repurchase Baine’s stock. The debt was too staggering. By 2004, 365 stores had closed. What a shame. It filed for bankruptcy. Romney called it “creative destruction”. What a jerk. His take? $120 million dollars. “That’s the name of the game—to make a profit”.
15,000 jobs were lost at the expense of Bain Capital’s 900% return on his investment. Disgusting. He was contributing the greatest job loss since WWII.

DDI scheme was FRAUDULENT:

With his Wall Street “connections” at Lehman Brothers, a plan emerged. Bain did an IPO with Lehman Brothers putting out a “buy” rating and would watch investors swarm. 275 people were quickly fired to boost “profits”. DDI’s 12 million share IPO raised a quick $170 million. Investors were suckered into the promise that DDI was headed to become a multi-billion dollar company. Then, instead of sticking with the stock, Bain sold shares after just 6 months making $39 million, then, dumped the rest making $54 million, all the while under the “cover” of the Wall Street banks they hired issuing glowing reports. DDI ended up losing $400 million. After 2 years, the stock was worthless, and they filed for bankruptcy, and over 2,100 jobs were lost. Investors were left with huge losses. Romney lied and said he didn’t have anything to do with it. SEC FILINGS proved otherwise. During the DDI deal, he was listed as a “member of the Management Committee” of Bain Capital with over control of 1.3 million shares of DDI. Employees, creditors, and investors were hurt, but not Romney and Bain made out like bandits!

MARION, INDIANA & AMPAD, a paper company, at several locations:

Employees felt "they had no intention of keeping us", and Romney was the one in charge. Everybody was fired. The plant had been sold numerous times, but they went on the same. Bain Capital destroyed everything they worked for, fired some, issued pay cuts, and hired others. They had a smaller work force which he called “getting back your bait” and ran up extraordinary debt (this part I don’t understand-- What debt?).

In 6 months, over 200 of the employees that Bain had re-hired were fired.
For Romney, it was a score. Romney & Bain made over $100 million from AMPAD.
If he would have wanted to, he could have saved the company. They wanted the machinery and that was it, said the employees. THAT is how Romney made the money, and the allegation is this~~Romney never planned on trying to turn the company around. He saw it as an opportunity to sell it & make a profit, period. Essentially, he ruined the company, SO he COULD make a profit. He didn’t want the company to die naturally, IF it would have, and we don’t know that from the film. Still, I understand where they call this “vulture capitalism”, and THAT is morally wrong.

of communications but if you're on tv, you shouldn't misuse words like 'copiously'. He did not 'copiously' avoid attacking Mitt. He scrupulously did so. Copiously means something along the lines of 'in great quantities'. "She cooked copious amounts of soup for the shelter".

i understand Dr. Paul does not like to brag, but he could have mentioned that he gave a house speech about the coming housing and financial bubble in 2002 !!!
and Ben didnt know about it in 2006 !!

Paul "came in a close 2nd in NH"...

only 2 or 3% behind Romney... :-)

are their little propaganda tricks used against them ? :-)

I tuned out after RP took the keynote speech bait. This is just the latest alternative to, "are you going to run third party?" Paul knows they're trying to minimize him with these questions, and still responds to them like they're genuine questions. This is ONE good quality those who like Newt point to. He doesn't take BS from the press.

Paul's got to turn the questions back on the interviewer. "What if Iran attacks Israel?" Paul: "Well are you suggesting American kids should be dying for Israel? How many Israelis have died for America?"

I don't think reporters would ask that again.
