Ron Paul on Kudlow Report (Video, 2-24-12)

@ the 7:54 mark, just when Ron Paul was talking about Iran you will notice the video quickly jumps back to Larry Kudlow. They did not play all of Ron Paul's answer regarding Iran. CNBC edited out his complete answer.

If anyone has the correct, complete video, please post a link to it. I would love to hear his complete answer.

We Love You Ron Paul!

Freeeeeeeeeedom!

Although Ron didn't specifically answer Kudlow when asked about Iran shutting off the supply of oil, I suspect that Ron would probably TALK to the Iranians FIRST. If Ron were elected, it'd be a significant signal to both the Iranians and the rest of the world that American foreign policy would be much less imperialistic which alone would probably remove any threat of Iran acting unilaterally to cut of the supply of oil to western countries. Despite the reckless verbiage from some of Iran's leaders, Iran's government isn't stupid as Ron indicated. If Iran ever did act unilaterally, they'd be contained or annihilated with days or mere minutes. A FAR bigger danger is Israel acting unilaterally in a foolish move to remove some PERCEIVED threat and thereby inflaming the whole region in a war.

Did you see how dismissive he was with Dr Paul when the newsletters issue popped up? He did not even INQUIRE to see if the claims are true, just accepted them at face value and then dismissed Dr Paul saying in effect, 'I never liked that guy'.

He's another media creature, its all about him and his ratings.
Nothing more. Truth, out the door the second there is a one point ratings advantage. Stick his neck out? Foooorrrgggetttabbbboutttttit.

To Ron Paul and other constitutionalists,

When you vote according to the constitution, obviously you votes adhere to it regardless which party has more influence, which party is "in power." So, when you're interviewed and asked to compare your votes to the bulk of your party's members voting when their voting matches yours, say the following:

They're voting how I vote now that our party is out of power. This behavior has gone on for some time.

Ron did the opposite. Ron said he votes how they vote or that they are voting together. Either way, Ron's weakens his position. Making his comment worse is that he weakens it while strengthening their movement: He goes to them, not them to him. That they vote "together" is neutral, still a diservice to himself, his record, the Constitution and all of us.

THESE KINDS OF OPPORTUNITIES ARE uncommon and PRIME TO EXPOSE the rest of the party members for what they are, gamers, fakes, bought-and-paid-for, empty suits, cronies, charlatans, puppets and souless humans whose children probably will at least dislike them when they realize what dad or mom did to their country and world.

I agree.

The main thing I noticed was that Larry used 'non-interventionist' rather than the usual 'isolationist'.

potential "enemies" abroad and on the campaign trail.

Why not? That's the way the Golden Rule is practiced that allows BOTH sides to prosper in PEACE.

This is the same crap they pulled with "So, word is out you don't really want to be president", where every 'reporter' and their mother had to ask Paul that question, and they asked it for about a week straight(often times the same person multiple times). I guess this is the new 'flavor of the month' to hound Paul with. What'll it be next month I wonder...something even more bogus?

Quite possibly one of Ron's best TV interviews. His one-liner about Rand not needing his help was epic, and I mean that in the most non-cliche sense. Anyways, he had ample time to speak and presented some of his most cogent and concrete foreign policy arguments to support his non-interventionism. And, frankly, while it may be his achilles heel in the GOP race, it is hands-down his key to victory in a general election.
