RP in 2012!
Ron isn't slowing down a BIT! If anything he and his message is getting stronger on camera. I love how he is becoming more "relaxed" in these interviews, his confidence (well-deserved) is shining through nicely ;-)
I think he'll be good for 2012...LOL!
I understand how RP wasn't elected...
He is NOT a charismatic speaker...he isn't interesting when you watch him, meaning, there's no big facial or hand gestures...there's no big tonal changes in his speach...he just tells the truth, and as ugly as it is, he just keeps telling the truth. No wonder the Sheeple have no interest in him.

Have you seen the videos?
Unless youtube has banned them all which I doubt. This man is more electrifying than lumbago any day of the week. Hell he would have mopped the floor with Bulba in a debate.

Many people DO think that Dr. Paul is a charismatic person. He has a magnetism about him that keeps drawing us back over and over.
What...?
It's the message, man. Hitler had the hand gestures, etc. and look where that got us.
He's getting better
If there's one thing i learned during this movement is that people are NO where nearly as deep into this stuff as most of the RPers. I find myself getting further with people simply repeating the most basic truths.
But, as soon as I say "The root cause is centralized economic planning. And in this country we know it as The Federal Reserve" people's eyes glaze over.
I can just see them thinking, "oh man, what the hell have i gotten myself into. Wonder who's dancing in 'Dancing with the Stars' tonight?"
Dr. Paul is a genius, no doubt, but listening to people's criticisms about him show that only a few are actually in opposition to his content. Most talk about his delivery. I hear people say things like, "he sounds like he's whining" or "i have no idea what he's talking about".
If you study the methods of political orators who seem to connect strongly with the masses it's clear they take a different approach to communicating their ideas. Most make a sweeping simple statement then use a vivid example. Lots of proverb-ish statements and what not.
Someone with zero knowledge in a subject can be persuaded to think your way if you say it correctly.
One of the things i love about Dr. Paul is how during a single conversation he'll only say something once... because.. well, it's been said. People (especially in today's America) are bovine in nature. Lots of dull eyes and slow brains need repetition of basic points (said in varying ways) until something in THEIR head clicks and asks... 'but if that's true, then what about...?'
That's when the spark of curiosity is lit and the rest is history.
I find that I can dodge the
I find that I can dodge the glazed look more often that not by telling people that the Federal Reserve, which it what has us all screwed up, is not even part of the government. That is a shocker to most. From there I tell them who does own the Fed and start adding in simplistic facts. Baby steps, but they will get you there. You can also suggest that maybe they can fix their personal economies by running up a hundred thousand dollars on credit cards and draw the comparison to the government's deficiet spending.

And he won a Nobel PRIZE????????????????????????????????
We may be toooooooo far gone.
Dr. Paul nailed it again.

Just thinking out loud, but I don't think it's completely insane that what Krugman and others propose will work. What do I mean? What did Paul say that was the fundamental issue at hand? Confidence. Confidence in the dollar. Confidence in the economy. Etc. Now if the majority of people believe in and operate within this screwy system of superbureaucracy, then it's logical to also assume that confidence has existed and can exist within it. So as long as that is maintainable, then it's at least possible to sustain the system. And I don't see the ability to create, or really manufacture, confidence as gone yet. Assume everything Paul says, then the system will fail not when it's shocking or scary or absurd; the system will fail when the ability to gain is demonstratively less possible than the ability to lose.
Yes that is true... but it is insane to think that Uncle Sam can
maintain confidence in the system indefinitely.
Eventually, we will have a severe problem on our hands.
As I said, it will fail when
As I said, it will fail when consumption is more painful than not consuming and that shift is a long time away.
Cheers me up to see my hero on TV
I sure miss seeing the good doctor. Great interview. This should catch the attention of a few people. Baby steps.
Again and Again
Dr. Paul seemed like he is tired. Probably tired of answering the same question and giving the same answer over and over.

waiting on the edge of one I can't escape

Who is the CNN interviewer?
The CNN interviewer actually seemed kind of sympathetic towards Ron Paul. He even acknowledged that multi-trillion dollar deficits were alarming.
John Roberts
John Roberts was a White House correspondant for CBS News from 1999 to 2006. It was rumored that he was under consideration to succeed Dan Rather in 2005 but that did not happen, and in 2006 Roberts left for CNN where he is now co-anchor of the American Morning program. That's the show that this video clip is from.
Hope that answers your question. : )
Straight...
and consistent. His message is always clear and concise. Hasn't deviated one iota. Any wonder why he has such a following? And in my humble opinion, it will take the collapse of the dollar and the ensuing revolution to change the system. I don't see it changing otherwise.
The good Dr.
always wonderful to listen to. He does look tired, I worry this is getting him down. He must feel overwhelmed at times because I sure do and I don't even have to leave my house. I think I am going to start praying for him and I haven't prayed in a long time. Peace Patriots
Strange
I had just told my husband that he looked so much more rested, less bags under his eyes, and his face had filled out since the end of the campaign trail. His message, as usual, is always easy to understand and on point.
don't you know
~
the good doctor had worked done??
pardon my last person in the world joke
Actually, I think his face looked absolutely great ...
I just wonder if he has allergies when his eyelids look a bit swollen.
Nailed it
Nice Job Congressman Ron Paul. That rocked.

One of his best lines. Absolutely!
Encapsulates it beautifully
at about the 4:00 minute mark. Culprit Federal Reserve and "spendthrift" Congress. John Roberts did well to let Dr. Paul just speak and Dr. Paul did a great job.
I'm with cinco, too, at times--just let the whole thing collapse and I think, "How negative!", but then I think, "Yes, but how can it not?!!!"
Look at the 'ticker'
you know you're living in a totalitarian regime when:
Trillion dollar deficits are the transition TO POWER.
WHAT?
It's not even subliminal anymore.
Not to me anyway.
i'm close to just saying
screw it.
let the credit card companies and banks go under.
let the whole thing go under.
if no body wants to listen to reason - then they can have the consequences.
up close and personal.
I feel you...
Sometimes I feel that the bandaid needs to be ripped off too.
I might start literally praying for the collapse. For our own good.
I am only HALF joking.

Nobel prize winning economists?
I was so glad he was able to articulate that Nobel prizes are given out like trophies at a county fair. "Ah, best dressed pig...Here's your Nobel prize."
They give the damn thing to someone even if their theses is WRONG.

Future generations need not worry about the debt
It cannot be paid and must be repudiated. It is just a matter of how the federal government goes bankrupt; by outright default, or by creating money out of thin air to replace the bonds, bills, notes and other obligations of the federal government.
And who actually thinks the federal government will survive this financial debacle.
No wonder the federal government show such a great interest in trampling the second amendment.
Henry...
thought that I would harp in for a minute. You're right on the mark but, what worries me most is that the LOANS that we are taking from the Chinese and others are probably not without collateral. The IMF goes after third world countries hoping that they will default so that they can take the country's graveyards, schools, any public properties and some not public. Do you think that we might be loosing a good part of America to the lenders? I am sure of it and when the dust settles, there may not be an America left as we know it.
This is true, but only if you subscribe to the idea that...
......an international organization has power over a nation's soverignity. In other words, I would argue that the agreements the people ruling our government are making, are invalid and illegal since most of it violates the Constitution. This is like me taking a loan out in your name, then refusing to pay it back. According to your theory, you would be accountable for the debt, even though you either had no idea there would be a loan, or were against the idea from the beginning.
Ron Paul continues to educate the media and the world.

LOL
You could tell that Ron could hardly contain himself when the talking head mentioned Krugman.
http://federalfallacy.com
Loved it!
FINALLY someone has come out saying what I've been saying about Krugman. IMO, Krugman is worthless and how he won the Nobel is beyond me.
Krugman only a couple of months ago was saying that there would be no depression . . . now, when it's right in our faces, he says THERE WILL BE DEPRESSION. Pfffffffffffffffffffft Worthless.
SO glad Ron said what he did. :)
Best interview in awhile
If you do anything on social sites today spread this. He takes on Krugman and is calm, very convincing and the host is in agreement.
