Ron Paul Debate Tonight!
Posted by Lew Rockwell at February 2, 2008 12:58 PM
Writes Stephanie Emmert: "Please watch the last debate before Super Tuesday, tonight on MTV from 6-7:30pm. It's called 'Closing Arguments, A Presidential Super Dialogue', with Democrats AND Republicans together! They will answer questions from audience members in MTV's New York studios and online through MySpace. This should be the best format yet!
"Spread the word, because you can bet the mainstream media won't advertise it, since the pundits won't be in control for a change." (Thanks to Ernest Hancock."
UPDATE from Brad Funkhouser: Here is more on the debate from Time Magazine. There will be four participants: Ron, Huck, Obama, and Hillary.

Did you hear that
CRACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOME RUN.
Ron Paul REVOLUTION!
Okay, again, No doubt that our man was AMAZING.
I liked the way that he did NOT back down or budge from his positions on the first 2 questions - Darfur & Health benefits for Women. He was sharp, he was firm. He did not tell them what they wanted to hear - in contrast to Hillary & Obama.
The rest of the interview he was clear and firm, talking about everything from sound money to individual responsibility, freedom, no handouts, foreign policy.
When questioned about the youth vote, and why they don't vote for Republicans, he said "Well you ought to come to some of our rallies!" He was really wonderful about honoring his support base and the issues whereupon we've adopted him as our guy. That made me proud. He was very careful to define himself as a different kind of republican.
I'd agree with what other people here have said on dailypaul - that you saw our education system at work tonight, with people in the audience, from NYU, Columbia, Rutgers, etc... So many of them just asking such asinine questions, that assume that the government has the responsibility to take care of us from cradle to grave.
Ron Paul was shockingly fresh.
I didn't like how the NYPost-techie guy detracted from the legitimacy of his results 73% - I will def. vote for him... "Oh he probably told his followers to go online and vote." HUH? Do you guys remember getting that email from Dr. Paul? I didn't!
I was proud, and enouraged overall.
Vijay.
It's apparant
The department of education is failing in America.
If you listen to the youth, the questions they ask, the things that they are concerned about, it's obvious they've been taught that the government needs to take care of them.
I've seen enough
How can that moderator just say if you want change you're gonna vote Obama? Ron Paul did very well and then the moderator said it's because he is internet savvy. Cobblers. It doesn't matter anyway 'cos Ron Paul makes the most sense to the internet savvy people who are also MTV viewers. case closed. Ron Paul it is then!

Good luck out there &Thank you. It's appreciated'.-fip
People viewing this have no
People viewing this have no idea what an education they're getting. Obama following Dr. Paul exposes the glaring disparity between collectivism and individuality. Between freedom and fascism. Between thoughtfull ness and blather. Life is not boring.

If unable to view MTV,
If unable to view MTV, you're missing Obama (4:02 Pacific time). A questioner called him 'one of the more Liberal candidates." Evidently they're getting some of it right.

Actually, MTV's key demographic is 18-26.
do you think the "gold and silver" answer goes over their heads?
I think this might be one that scares people away. While I agree with it, it's such a foreign concept that people probably think of carrying gold bars around in their purse or person.
holes in pockets!
Gold is heavy man. He's got to explain that paper currency is backed up by gold.'I always think of all you canvassors and precinct leaders at the front line.
Good luck out there &Thank you. It's appreciated'.-fip
Gold over their heads:
Exactly right. Dr. Paul should explain "backing" with gold/silver vs. jingling coins in pockets. My 21-yr old had a question about that.

Hell, if we could use gold
Hell, if we could use gold or silver as money again, I would GLADLY carry the coins! Gladly! Paper and plastic are for shopping bags, NOT money!
How important is a
How important is a candidate's personal experiences in deciding your vote for president? Ridiculous question.

Where are you watching this?
Where are you watching this? MTV has a show called "real life" on right now. I went to the website and there's no video.
same here.......MTV has "true life" ON!!!!!!
AND....this is ARIZONA!!!!!!!
Keep voting!
Dr. Paul did amazingly well--in terms of both his responses and viewers' responses via on-line polls.
Obama and Clinton are next. Keep responding on-line so that Dr. Paul's support compares favorably!
AWESOME INTERVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE BEST INTERVIEW EVER!
He woke up tons of people tonight!
Ron Paul
YES! Our man was amazing!
RP is so consistent. How
RP is so consistent. How long has he been delivering this message? 30 years? The MTV crowd is captivated.

Dr. Paul is kicking butt!
Are you watching these poll results: He's getting 75% favorable responses... and it's not all us! God bless America.
Sweet, Ron brought up the
Sweet, Ron brought up the draft as something younger voters need to be cautious of.

I love how everyone....
now uses the "borrowing from China" line or the "printing money" line. Unreal..
It is on ....
Huckabee is speaking.....they also have integrated voting while he is presenting his platform. This is so good b/c Dr. Paul will get at least 15-20 of his own time to speak.
The link is below in the previous post....click on it and vote while Dr. Paul is speaking.
Yeah
I think Dr. Paul will be "very interesting", interesting format!
I don't watch mtv but this is interestin' format
MTV debate: Answer polls and ask questions on-line
Calling all Paul supporters: Go to http://www.myspace.com/el... to IM questions for the candidates and to repond to ongoing on-line polls. So far it seems as if there are a lot of Hillary and Obama supporters on-line--let's get into this thing!
So according to the Huckster
So according to the Huckster when answering a question about the fair tax, if you fill out a federal tax return you are a poor dumb sap? Just exactly what is he saying here?

NOT on...
....MTV here and ALSO not on in that LINK??
I'm gettin' it

Airing
Is running... http://www.mtv.com/thinkm...
Hey everybody, please right click on some of MTV's ads there to quietly thank them (or reward them) for featuring (or at least mentioning) Ron Paul. Paying attention to Ron Paul equals dollars.
Thanks
Thanks for the link. I guess its on mtv tv huh, guess I'll sit here. I get to vote too!
Like I said before...it's a very funny picture...
Obama's giving Paul the finger, and when you click on the link Paul is shocked and Obama has a sh#t-eatting grin on his face.
Funny.
It COULD be a preview of the general election
Too bad the audience
Too bad the audience demographic on MTV is largely under 18, especially on a Saturday afternoon/evening.
The establishment probably knows giving RP time on MTV is low risk for them, so he'll be treated fairly, and we'll all jump for joy over it. Meanwhile, his percentages don't go up, continuing the illusion that "he can't win".
Regardless, I'm still going to be watching. It'll be good to see the positive reaction I'm sure he's going to get.
Live Streaming
of this MTV event at Chooseorlose.com and MySpace.com...6 pm est.
Did you see that Ron Paul's picture...
is on the MTV web page ad and story on tonight's debate along with Barack Obama? Hopefully that means Ron Paul will at least get his fair share of time to speak tonight.
The description for the show on DirecTV:
"Frontrunners make their cases"
3 PM Pacific Time
The event will air on MTV (as well as MTV2 and MTV Tr3s, with highlights on mtvU), stream online at ChooseOrLose.com and MySpace.com, stream on mobile devices via MTV Mobile, broadcast live on XM Satellite Radio, MTV and AP radio, and be distributed live and on-demand through the Associated Press Online Video Network, which has more than 1,800 media sites, including nearly 600 media outlets in Super Tuesday states.
RP's picture at http://mtv.com/ first thing (some smart marketing ppl).
An Idea..
Let's flood RP with questions. And then flood the rest of them with questions refering to RP's answers.

Crappy thing is
We'll have to sit through Obama/Hillary/Huckabee in order to listen to Ron Paul
Word
At least McRomney isn't gonna be there.
What a contrast there will be between the socialist dems and Dr. Paul! should be interesting.
