Paul's Question To McCain
Submitted by SyntheticSolutions on Thu, 01/24/2008 - 22:56
Ron Paul asks McCain if he would retain the president's working group on finance, and would there be more sunshine?
Did I hear this right? I think their is a lot of significance associated with this question. I don't know what it is, but he didn't just ask it for the purpose of showing that it takes McCain an hour and a half to watch 60 minutes.

What you just witnessed was
David (Ron Paul) and Goliath (John McCain) And the stone (what should be a simple question for someone who just claimed to be the most knowledgable candidate about economics on the stag) This stone just killed Goliath. Wham right between the eyes. It was a brilliant question!

thanks for that
the people that know how to explain this question, Mccains non-answer, and Ron Paul's SOLUTION should be talking this stuff up all over the internet, blogs, letters to editor....etc.
I am going to try to get a better understanding of this myself!

Ron Paul
Asked a very important question. It was too much for McCain. Thats why he asked it. McCain the dumb ass don't even know about it. Just like the majority of us didn't. Ron Paul is a very intellegent assute individual. The question was over everybodies head. He should of asked him if his mother tells him its okay to stay up late at night.

McCain blunders on Debate Question about the economy.
Then digg it like crazy. Can some one post this?
i started to think he got robbed too
until they ENDED it on RON PAUL talking about the CONSTITUTION!!!
**That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them
Yeah, I loved that RP got
Yeah, I loved that RP got the last word, and got applause at the end. Hard to ask for a better ending to the debate than that. I do wish the moderators had asked him more questions though.
I barely understood the question myself...
But McCain's non-answer was golden. Reminded me of when I was in highschool and was unprepared for a test so I just made up stuff.
This will help a little

Working Group on Financial Markets
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Working Group on Financial Markets (also, President's Working Group on Financial Markets or the Working Group) was created by Executive Order 12631,[1] signed on March 18, 1988 by United States President Ronald Reagan.
The Group was established explicitly in response to events in the financial markets surrounding October 19, 1987 ("Black Monday") to give recommendations for legislative and private sector solutions for "enhancing the integrity, efficiency, orderliness, and competitiveness of [United States] financial markets and maintaining investor confidence".[1]
As established by Executive Order 12631, the Working Group consists of:
The Secretary of the Treasury, or his designee (as Chairman of the Working Group);
The Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, or his designee;
The Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or his designee; and
The Chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, or her designee.
One theory regarding the Working Group refers to it as the Plunge Protection Team. This theory claims that the Working Group is a scheme to manipulate U.S. stock markets in the event of a market crash by using government funds to buy stocks, or other instruments such as stock index futures.
The term "Plunge Protection Team" was originally the headline for an article in The Washington Post by staff writer Brett D. Fromson, published on Sunday, February 23, 1997.[2] He did not invent the term. It was added later by a copy desk editor as a sensational nickname for the Working Group.[3]
Mathew 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
ok got it
Another good reason to not get into the stock market.I remember the ruling to curb the market free fall just did not the official name- how to remember all of the name of multitudes of rulings. Is everyone going to go
home tonight and research it when they are still trying to grasp the idea that the Federal Reserve isn't the government? Again, it was not the question I was hoping for but I totally support RP. He is a true patriot and hero not the like the ones that pretend to be.
P.O.W. QUESTION?
I thought the good Doctor's question to Mcamnesty was excellent. It was great to see him squirm around, it was quite clear he had no idea what the committee is or was. I was hoping Dr. Paul would get to ask one more question and that it would have been: Mr. Mcamnesty, do you think that we left any P.O.W.'s in Vietnam? I will not vote for McCain if he wins the nomination.
100 years war....
He should have went after the 100 years war and then tied it in to economics & banking and then drop the advisory stuff.
Sounds like McCain wants the Bush team.
Terrible question
90% of the viewers didn't understand the question which makes McCains response irrelevant. If anything, it makes McCain look good because any answer will be a good answer. Paul is famous for appealing only to those who are intelligent. This is a classic example. Time and time again doesn't address the ignorant masses.
Agreed. My wife and I looked at each other and said "What The
Hell was that about?" He needs to get down to the level of the masses to win votes.
There were so many other issues he could have hammered him on: 100 years in Iraq? How will you pay for the war? Amnesty for illegals? You only want to leave Iraq "with honor," where is the honor for our troops that come home from Iraq dead? Will you institute a draft to provide enough bodies for your meat grinder in Iraq?
Hit the issues that Americans care about the most.
I think it was a lost opportunity.
Go President Paul!
’In accordance with the principles of double-think it does not matter if the war is not real. For when it is, victory is not possible. The war is not meant to be won, but it is meant to be continuous.’ (George Orwell, 1984)
Excellent comment
Your comment reminded me of the first time I ever took an interest in politics. It was 1992, I was in 9th grade, and I saw candidate Bill Clinton explain that he would not rule out the possibility of calling a draft. That was all I needed to hear. From that moment on I have had a strong dislike for him and his policy ideas frighten me. Clinton avoided the draft himself, I thought his political position was deeply hypocritical.
The issue of a draft is VERY important for young people. That's what sparked my eventual political activism. I would have liked to see him ask McCain two questions:
"Would you consider instituting a draft if you feel the current troop levels are insufficient for winning the war in Iraq?"
and
"Would you include women in that draft?"
and maybe round it off with a "I'd like to point out that Selective Service rules have eliminated the college deferrment option."
I'd bet good money that McCain's "straight talk" answer would have ended his candidacy right there.
nascar? cheap beer? the right to flip someone off?
people care about money. the group he mentioned is another way the government is removing americans from their money.
he nailed it.
time to educate the masses.

Honor is important
A death may be honorable.
Well it just goes to show you
Just when you think you have all of the off shoots of the Federal Reserve.and the rest figured out there is another angle to it all. I know a lot but I have to admit the only thing I really heard from that question was the word "sunshine". I had my hopes on him asking McCain on how he proposed on financing his never-ending war with his new commitment of less taxes. It may not have been the question I preferred but it wasn't my question, it is Ron Pauls and he stands out as a beacon of truth among a bunch of automons that change their views on a day to day basis.
Ok if you didn't understand the question
Don't say he should have ask a more stupid question for all those of us who never read a book. I want a president that makes me say, "what did he say I need to find out what that means". Then I get off my lazy a** and study and find out what is being said. This brings our people up to a higher level of education. It seems to me people are wanting tleader of our country to act/be less smart so we can understand him. No! I say we need a leader that builds us up and makes us a better and a smarter nation. I to did not know what the group was but 3 min. later after looking it up I realized what the reason for the question was. However I didn't need to look it up to see that McCain didn't have a clue as to what he was talking about. McCain is like the kid that sets next to the smartest girl in class and cheats off her then acts like he is as smart as her. When the teacher gets around to asking him a question everyone in the class realizes that he cheats off the smart girl. Then the smart girl gives the answer to the question and finally receives the credit for all her hard work in her studies. No! Don't dumb down for me Ron Paul. Make me wonder what your talking about. Make me look it up. Make me try to keep up. Make me open a book or seach it out online. Build me up Ron Paul Make make me do the work. This question also revealed something even more intresting. McCain talked about how he had built a circle of people (influance) around him. This sounded like something that would be said in a group of secret friends (a fraternity type group) to build each other up and cover each others weaknesses. This shows that when one of them(shows group mentality) has a weakness the others will move in with their strengths to give the weak one an appearence of strength. Kind of like when a riot happens people who normally would be lawful will get wraped up in the violence and join in with a group they most identify with. This group will develop a mob metality almost as if they are all thinking with only one mind (the group mind) This is a form of brain washing that occures when a person is faced with a life threatening situation. McCain is the one to watch to see the releaving of the elites methods. He has drank to much of the special juice they pass around at the meetings. He is going over the edge. He reminds me alot of how Ronald Reagan acted at the end of his term. I think they haven't got the amount of juice to give them figured out yet. Once they have outlived their usfullnes they get an overdoes of juice then hello no ones home anymore (fryed). Since McCain is starting to act crazy I would say he has outlived his usfulness to getting Mitt or Rudy in the Whitehouse. I think that was a perfect question for Ron Paul to ask.
Well said. Always be willing to learn.
It is what life is all about. Search for the Light, my friend.
Great Question!
Hell if I knew what the PPT was before tongiht but neither did McCain which was AWESOME!
Professional Poker Tournament?
huuuuu
McCain Caught in a lie.
McCain said he knew a "great deal about the economy."
Dr. Paul asked him a simple yes or no answer. Would he or would he not get rid of this very important group.
He rambled and became visibly flustered. It was priceless.
No one post what this group is. Make McCain's campaing do their own research please. Some of you on this group don't get it that "they" troll this group and did before the debate to get soundbites before Dr. Paul was allowed to speak.
