Ron Paul on CNBC's Squawk Box 11/23/2009

Ron was getting a little loose there and not making much sense. Santielli (sp?) came in to help him out. Ron gathered himself and was on point the rest of the way. Teamwork Works!!!

RP is becoming a daily topic of discussion and we should encourage it, as well as give RP the opportunity to defend himself.

Imho the section where she asked him about interest rates was quite weak, as he just returned how bad the FED did the job of setting them so far.

I wonder why he hasnt mentioned his pov, that rather the free market itself should set interest rates, instead of the congress or any other group of people, in case of getting rid of the fed.

For non-RP-followers it might appeared unfortunatly, that he wants congress to set interest rates instead...

That painful effort at comedy destroyed the entire credibility of those panelists... If I was new to watching that program I'd have a hard time watching it again other than for entertainment value.

I'm glad they're allowing Dr. Paul to answer the stupid questions though because he answers them at the most basic level so everyone can understand.

great job by Dr. Paul!

For Freedom!

handles himself very well during these though and often dishonest questionings from mainstream media morons. He doesn't need to sound like some slick guy from Hollywood with perfect speaking abilities.

He has something most politicians don't have, integrity and honesty.

Those kinds of number (43-26) means the Financial Services Committee can block anything the Chairman does until he capitulates and brings HR 1207 to a vote.

It would take nine turncoats to pass anything (or so).in committee

Open new strategy, encourage State legislators to ask our US Senators to support SR 604. It is also in the state's best interest. Work the system.

All for freedom? Freedom for all!

But if HR 1207 is attached to it, then that is one HUGE step for the people. Even if the Fed is given new sweeping powers and authorities, (honestly, it's a pretty f-ing powerful institution as it is, how can it get even more powerful???) the people will get to judge the effects of those new powers, the decisions behind those powers, and ultimately, the accountability behind those powers.

I think that's why the Campaign for Liberty hasn't directed us to call up our reps and oppose this new bill...

If HR 1207 gets us closer to abolishing the system, or when the system breaks down, if it tells the people that fiat money is to blame for the depression, then we will have won-- then our philosophy will have won.

Maybe then we can raid the bankers' mansions with torches and pitchforks and demand our prosperity back...

Boy, did the TV Networks really miss the boat when they excluded Dr. Paul from debates.

No other candidate could handle this kind of in-depth questioning from a handful of questioners in rotation!

to even get "to the floor" is as an add-on to the ridiculous regulatory bill that gives the FED sweeping new powers. Of course Ron Paul has to vote against it. Pelosi and Frank's masters' refuse to allow 1207 to be brought up as a stand alone bill because it would pass no problem and they know it. So, it's possible we may get the audit, BUT we will also get a HORRIBLE new law giving even more power to the FED. Our "system" blows. Nothing good will ever come from this government.

At this point it might be better if Dr. Paul sat back a joined their conversations. Lots of softball question allowing for quick clear answers. I noticed Peter Schiff also trying to cram as much information in his time as possible. Its overwhelming and confusing to newbies. That heavy lifting of education and information is our job and our other friends around town. If Ron and Peter and others set the hooks we need to reel em in. Our "Catch and Release Program"

All for freedom? Freedom for all!

Some people actually think that we can't rule our own monetary system.

That is saying that we really can't rule ourselves.

That is fucking insane!

Stop the insanity...End the Fed.

Hopefully the 300 hundred plus co-sponsors will follow his lead and vote down a bad bill!

We keep getting the talking point, from the powers that be, that: We don't want the institutions who go to the discount window to perceived that they are in financial difficulty.
Well what if our response to this statement was:
Well if those institutions want privacy in their loan taking, then why don't strike a deal with another PRIVATE lending institution. But if the people are liable then the details should be made public.

No Liberal could disagree with this comeback

Welcome to the world of hardball politics.

Ron Paul's bill might end up inside a larger bill GIVING THE FED MORE POWER. I think the banksters got to Frank, and want to kill an audit so badly, they are ready to punt the financial takeover Frank's Bill, until the Fed rage settles.

Frank's bill is unconstitutional, so RP will vote against it. Giving the Fed more power is not a popular sentiment right now either.

HR 1207 might go down in flames, as Barney wants it to.

He made a couple of good points but some of his responses really were not answers to the questions. I am very disappointed that the bill appears to be getting watered down by being inserted into another bill. Is that what is going to happen? Can someone explain this?

the odds are the bill will pass anyway, i dont see how the rinos will oppose this. and it is pretty damaging, so ron is right not to vote for it.

I love you Dr. Paul! Too bad Rand can't be more like him.

RP said he's going to vote against the bill with the Paul Amendment?

I thought this was Dr. Paul's weakest performance...and that is why it is all over CNBC's website.

It is a very intricate issue, and the pro-government cheerleaders did a fairly good job of convulating the issue with half truths and outright lies thus making Ron Paul appear like a relatively ignorant politician IMHO.
