MTV Forum... Ron's Best Performance Ever???

[dante]

It sure seemed that way to me. Thoughts?

[PimpBlimp]

yup

too bad only young people will watch it :(

[JoBurke]

Outstanding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Karrl]

Big bump!!

[Bigfish31379]

Allmost brought me to tears Brilliant :D

[Logistics]

Wow, people here were saying he was so intelligent and unscripted!!

[Agent CSL]

It was great. Really got Ron's message out there. He finished fighting like a tiger!

[Cinderella]

that was sooo amazing!!!

[nodope0695]

Absolutely the best. Hands down. Credit goes to MTV for giving him an open forum to voice his platform without interuption or ringing bells. And, most important, no Ghouliani Cackle.

[MoneyWhereMyMouthIs2]

Yes. He's getting better and better. He's used to making these points to academics. He's also used to getting basic respect from people he's talking to. It's taking him some time, but he's improving consistently.

[slantedview]

i wouldn't say best ever, but it was damn good, particularly because he got to talk so much :D

[nodope0695]

Wow, people here were saying he was so intelligent and unscripted!!

Nice:D:D:D

[tarabyte]

This was really great, and it was even more great because it happened right close to super tuesday. Finally some MSM exposure that gave him a chance to really talk.

[RonPaulVolunteer]

Yep, he KICKED ASS!!

And Obama is struggling to crawl through these questions.

[RonPaulMTV]

He was brilliant, he didn't talk down to the youth at all, and I think they will appreciate it. That's the thing about logic ... it's very hard to argue with things that make sense!

[Omnis]

Paul was fantastic. I just wish he didn't have the microphone malfunctions and that he spoke a little more collectedly. Sometimes he would go so fast without pausing, you know?

[wfd40]

best interview ever i think...

Why? Because he was VERY VERY forceful, confident and secure... yet, totally pitchperfect and warm in the message he was delivering..

I mean, seriously... there was a different animal up there on stage in front of millions of impressionable youth... this was a DEFINING MOMENT..

I'm literally in shock right now about how EPIC his performance was.
------------
Furthermore, he's making the libral message of Obama sound silly..
:)

[911cartoon]

it was glorious.. I DEMAND A DIVX copy!

[Liberty_is_NORML]

That format is so much better than the other debates.

Bravo to MTV...frankly, I am very pleasantly surprised.

[paulimperative]

man oh man, having obama right after that is like some kind of cruel joke. and with the "CHANGE" posters lining the walls behind him? amazing. you couldn't be more ironic if you tried

[DFF]

It was the best performance I've seen.

He touched on everything and did it in such an articulate and genuine fashion that the other candidates just can't compete.

This is precisely why the MSM has spurned him.

They know if he's heard people will vote for him without even thinking twice.

The MTV youth wouldn't want it any other way. When is the last time you saw a music video? :D

J/K,

[j0ew00ds]

I know i'm going to regret saying this, but MTV may be off my poop-list... I'm sure in 1 hour it'll be back on once Road Rules World Super Gauntlet 8 comes on.

[luvfreedom]

We need to thank MTV.

At the very least this forum will spur people to look into him further.

[christagious]

too bad all these kids want handouts

[RPForPeace]

YES. This is absolutely one of his bests!!!

[GHoeberX]

it was glorious.. I DEMAND A DIVX copy!

That's exactly what I'm rendering right now

[Mordan]

yea his best. but he can improve his posture a little. I didn't like the way he was holding the microphone with his right hand. A bit weakly. Otherwise really impressed. Obama sucked. Clinton and Huckabee are great speakers though.

[RSLudlum]

Most time he's ever been given in a forum without interruption...

OMG Truth is spreading!!!!:eek:

[CrazyRonPaulSupporter]

Hands down the best!!! I got multiple-Rongasms watching him. Hi looked very presidential and was answering the questions flawlessly. :)

But most shocking was how shitty Obama was! Holy crap! He stumbled on the words, unclear answers etc etc. He is light years from being presidential material. How can the sheeple go out and vote for a guy like that?????


.

[tsetsefly]

i am looking at the video and I am very dissapointed in the first two answers and I am dissapointed so far.

[RPinUptownChi]

I have never been more inspired in my life. I'm not even kidding. Thank you Dr. Paul!

[CrazyRonPaulSupporter]

:confused:

Huh? Are you watching the Obama segment or something?

.

[nightlight]

Yes. He's getting better and better. He's used to making these points to academics.

I think he still does. For example, 60 trillion in government obligations. That means nothing to most people. Why not divide it by the 300 million population and say that every man, women and child ows $200,000, which a regular person can relate to.

I don't blame Dr Paul for this abstract, academic style, he is the way he is. But his big buck campaign professionals ought to know better. They're the ones damaging this campagn.

[RonPaulFTW08]

"How do you feel about Sen. Clinton's answer on her vote authorizing the Iraq War?"

65% said Just Not Buying It
9% said Skeptical But Still Listening

"How has what you've just heard from Sen. Clinton tonight affected your vote?"

64% said Definitely Voting For Someone Else
7% said Less Likely To Vote For Her

[zach]

trust me.. get ready for a fun time.

you'll get multiple rongasms eventually once you're past the first few questions.

[syborius]

yea his best. but he can improve his posture a little. I didn't like the way he was holding the microphone with his right hand. A bit weakly. Otherwise really impressed. Obama sucked. Clinton and Huckabee are great speakers though.



that asswipe crew didnt attach a mircrophone as they should have. I don't think Obama had one or Hillary, and I noticed that too. When you are so thin, no matter what you hold it will look like that. RP needs to eat more chocolate chip cookies though. :D and ohh yeah, he was damn impressive. :D

[Laja]

Hands down the best!!! I got multiple-Rongasms watching him.

Multiple Rongasms? That is hilarious! I love it...

[humanic]

Quite possibly his best yet. He hit all of the questions out of the park.

[fightfortruth]

I think that Ron Paul rocked it because the questions were extremely liberal and seemed like they would be tough for him but it his responses were awsome.

I do wish that there were some things that he should have repeated over and over again. He should have said that he does not take money from lobbyists or special interest groups, he should have said that he wants to bring the troops home immediatly, he wants to get rid of the income tax and replace it with nothing, and he has had more campaign contributions from veitnam vets and active military.

He did great though. That audience was so liberal.

[dfb]

great responses, but what was the deal with the background and sound?

Obama and Clinton had much better backgrounds, lighting and sound. Was this Paul's campaigns fault or MTV? I hate to say it, but the look also is so important to undecided voters.

I couldn't believe they allowed him to keep talking even though there was no sound. Unbelievable.

His answers were far more credible and on point than any other candidate.

I am so sick of hearing about Obama and change. even MTV pushed this, its just so untrue. Obama offers no change, only change from Bush.

Paul is the only candidate who would really shake things up.

[shooter_tx]

On YouTube yet?

+1 My thoughts as well. This was the best 'debate' I think I have seen.

I kind of liked the flag to the right and that blue stream of light from the left...

[driller80545]

Dr. Paul clearly set himself apart from the other candidates tonight. He was the only one who didn't sound as if he were pandering. The others sounded like: For Obama-press one, etc.

[pacelli]

You know what? You're absolutely wrong.. ha ha just kidding. You are spot on !!!!! You and I are experiencing the same shock at the true EPIC nature of this event for Dr. Paul in terms of his ability to make the message work for all age groups. He presents it in the best way he can (some blunders, but everybody has them).

Speaking of blunders, Barry came off as an idiot when he was answering the questions. He would make long pauses in the middle of his sentences: "uhhh..some bizarre throat noise thing". Barry is really a terrible public speaker when he doesn't have a script to deliver.

I missed the actual debates as I had a family get together..

But I just watched the youtubes and WOW !! Paul was terrific!! But did the young people in the audience actually get what he was saying? Ron is so much smarter than the other politicians that they may have been confused not hearing those dumbed down sound bytes like the other politicians do.

[Carole]

Is there a url for the video?

[Scott Wilson]

I think Ron Paul did well.

I would have been more general if I was him though.

Ron needs to enunciate to people the U.S. was founded upon the principle of a limited government whereby government is established for the express purpose of protecting individual liberty and the powers of the government are strictly kept in check via a constitution. This is the principle which makes the USA different to every other nation on earth.

Young people need to understand this foundation due to the fact that very few really understand this simple premise and thus easily buy into the rhetoric of Obama, McCain, Huckabee or Romney.

[Carole]

Thank you for the you tubes. :)

Watched them all. He did very well and made a very good impression.

[Carole]

Guys, did Ron Paul go first? If he did then he gave them a whole new sets of ideas to ponder. If Hillary and Obama followed him at this debate, it would be very hard to sound as though they are about "change". Dr. Paul had a distinct advantage and he really made it clear that he was a "sea change"!!

What do you think? What if you had to listen to the same old /same old from a different voice and had heard Dr. Paul already with his "real change"? :D

[corsairtro]

amazing, amazing
