I dont like Wolfie boy ............. hes a worm and has no personality. The expression on his face never changes........... NEVER!!!!

[njandrewg]

cafferty file is usually answered at about ___:50-55

[Natalie]

I think he's going to be on right now.

[JosephTheLibertarian]

what kind of ratings does the situation room have?

[krott5333]

my answer to cafferty:

The Constitution is obsolete, and so is Ron Paul. The guy is a kook! The war on terror isn't going to fight itself. Did he forget 9/11?

YEA YEA YEA

[Stealth4]

you needed to make that response more outlandish (i.e. Colbert Report)

you need to overemphasize because its hard to tell over email.

That IMO was not a good message to send.

[krott5333]

Er, that's actually a legitimate neocon response.

yeah, but it will show level headed people that neo-cons are weirdos

I would have added "Rudy didn't forget. He was there y'know."

:mad: arggghhhhhhh

i sent a real response as well.

here it is:


People would pay more attention to Ron Paul if they simply paid more attention to the destructive path which our country is taking. Unlike other candidates, Ron Paul understands what is happening to our Constitutional rights. Unlike other candidates, Ron Paul understands the dire state of our devaluing dollar. Unlike other candidates, Ron Paul understands that our government is no longer representative of the people. Ron Paul also has the congressional voting record to change the vast problems with the current state of the US government.

So yes, people should be paying more attention to Ron Paul.

[Dave Wood]

I told him of course. Yes, every American needs to be paying attention to Ron Paul. We are headed straight for the iceberg people!



That was just part of it. We need to start assuming we are going to win this thing and be absolutely shocked when when someone tells us that we arent. :)

Excellent! Gave me a good laugh - thanks! :-)

[MsDoodahs]

Here's what I sent:

Pssst, Jack - the man raised over 5 million dollars with almost no mainstream media coverage from the likes of CNN. Get with the program, buddy. People already ARE listening to Ron Paul.

Imagine what would happen if Ron Paul got the same level coverage you guys consistently offer Guiliani and Romney!

[nullvalu]

All they've been talking about is how bad Obama and Thompson have been doing in the polls..

[brumans]

They always leave the stuff that gives them high ratings at the very end so people watch the whole thing.

[fj45lvr]

if it is Blitzer I doubt he will let anything else other than Israel's security be the topic.....

Paul needs to talk MONEY and Economics.

[scubasteve01]

OH YEA! Time to bust out the Cognac!

[dmitchell]

I sent:

We need to look to our roots and revive the traditional American foreign policy of minding our own business. We don't need a worldwide empire. We don't need soldiers in 130 countries. It creates enemies and makes us less safe.

Actually I sent the above using the website, and another (slightly weaker response) using email. Hopefully if they use mine they will use the above.

[mrchubbs]

Here is what I sent in:

Those that fear Ron Paul is too extreme need to realize that we really do have checks and balances in this country. Paul, being a Constitutionalist will see to it that those checks and balances aren't ignored. So, yes he should not only be listened to, but he should also have your vote, even if you deem him extreme. He won't be able to accomplish many of the things he's pushing, but electing him would, at least, put our great country back on the proper track of limited government, low taxes, sound money, and individual liberty.


Trying to re-frame the opinion for those that label him extreme.

Enjoy.

[ross11988]

"Ron Paul will be on in the next hour" does that mean within the next 15 min or later?

[hard@work]

From me:

You had asked if we should pay more attention to Ron Paul. Absolutely! Where has this guy been? I’ve been bombarded with these terrible candidates who do not even remotely represent the views of the Republican party but have been sold to us as our only choices. Instead of wondering what happened to our cause I should have been asking who represents it. Now I know, and I can tell you now there’s a lot more people asking the same question. It seems that we finally have our man and he’s amazingly been able to get some backing without us even knowing he was running. Americans are notorious for not paying attention to their own politics. I think now that we have a reason to do just that we’ll be hearing more and more about this man.

I for one not only will be supporting him … well I can only say that after seeing his banners all over the place and on the freeways this week I’m going to join up with the guys who’ve been putting them up around town. I’ve sat around too long waiting instead of doing something. Instead of blaming you guys for not paying attention to what’s happened to the Republican party I think it’s about darn time the people realized it’s all about us. And I think you guys are showing that to us, and for this I thank you!

Yes me too.

[DJ RP]

Oh and thank you to the uploader, much appreciated :)

[Vonhayek7]

This was Ron Paul's best interview yet. He looked very similar to the way he did in the MSNBC debate, calm and to the point. Cleared up a lot of misnomers about him too.

[V4Vendetta]

I got goosebumps when he read out "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls" that was...

I don't get it? who said that, and who were they talking about?

[Ibgamer]

That was great exposure!

[misconstrued]

Please someone tell me this was youtube'd :)

[V4Vendetta]

Just saw the Ron Paul interview, Great stuff!

[gagnonstudio]

hopefully RP will grab most of tancredos supporters after he drops out, since RPl gave tancredo a plug

[BenIsForRon]

Awesome interview. He didn't fall into any of Blitzer's traps. Tancredo was an awesome response too. This way no one can say "Well since Ron can't win I'll just vote for the 'top tier' guy he recommended".

[ItsTime]

I couldnt agree more! Perfect answer.

[quickmike]

Yes me too.

Ron Paul quoted a Rush song???????

Nevermind I guess simon and garfunkel said that too. :D

Ron Paul quoted a Rush song???????

It would be Simon and Garfunkel.

The Rush song has the words of the prophets written on the studio walls, not the subway walls.

[austin356]

youtube?

or at least a recap?

someone, anyone?

[eloquensanity]

Ron Paul quoted a Rush song???????

Nevermind I guess simon and garfunkel said that too. :D

No they were reading mail from viewers before the interview the writer quoted it.
The question was should more Americans be listening to Ron Paul

[quickmike]

It would be Simon and Garfunkel.

The Rush song has the words of the prophets written on the studio walls, not the subway walls.

yeah, I hit the enter key before I could complete the joke

LOL

Had to edit the post.

Few other letters not read on Cafferty:

http://www.cnn.com/CNN/Programs/situation.room/blog/

Wish all those wonderful responses were printed, I kept waiting for the negative and never happened.

That was all FANTASTIC!

[Ozwest]

Ron did great! He looked refreshed and relaxed. I'm sure he is buoyed by the campaign contributions. We are reaping the benefits of the funds raised this 3rd quarter. Imagine what would happen if he raised 4 million by the end of October!

Rate and comment people. Bump it up

[quickmike]

You guys that arent maxed out need to step it up a little if you can.

Just donate whatever you can do without starving yourselved to death for petes sake. Dont want any Ron Paul supporters all skin and bones because they donated the grocery money.

Just send whatever is humanly possible to do.

[ChooseLiberty]

Silly question, but is there somewhere that Dr. Paul's media interview schedule is posted or should there be?

Seems like it should be easy enough for the staff to do and people wouldn't have to try to pick them up like train spotting.

[Shellshock1918]

Great interview! Go RON!

[SJohnsson]

This is why we need to keep donating... i plan on getting my parents to donate soon and thats where we should be focusing... to our friends and relatives

[RonFan1776]

Ron Paul Nailed That Interview!

Ron Paul!

eww paul chose tancredo :(

Hes actually not that bad a guy if you can get past his whole INSANE stance on bombing mecca into non-existance.

Im being sarcastic of course.:D

[Ron Paul Fan]

eww paul chose tancredo :(

There's no one else to choose. All of them are big government, pro war, neo-cons. Tancredo is least like the others and therefore the most similar to Paul. They are also friends so it makes sense that he would pick Tancredo.

[Thunderbolt]

Watch tonight, 7 ET.

Did I miss it? I have CNN on right now.

[RevolutionSD]

In one of the debates Tancredo was actually agreeing with Ron on foreign policy and actually echoing some of his points.

[Vvick727]

yeah tancredo doesn't seem like too bad a guy, other than the whole islamofascist paranoia coupled with torture

[avix123]

It says 7pm ET on http://www.cnn.com/CNN/Programs/situation.room/ . I haven't seen anything yet. I even called people to watch it. :mad:

[vertesc]

I sent:
YES!

It's a bit of a foregone conclusion to ask an internet audience about Dr. Paul, but YES more people would benefit from exposure to his platform. The "mainstream" Republican platform that has been reported is Bush Redux - more aggressive foreign policy, fewer domestic liberties, more power in government in general and in the executive branch in particular... all in the name of being tough on terrorism. The reported Democratic platform is very similar, with a different motive; "for the common good", as Sen. Clinton puts it. Ron Paul represents the only alternative to this single stance that dominates both parties' coverage. It would be very good for the electoral process to have more than one position represented to the voting public.

It would also be very good for the GOP. Since 2001, the Republican party has alienated an enormous portion of its voter base. Many people who voted for Bush's platform of a "meek foreign policy", limited government and reduced taxes feel disenfranchised, and have left the party - and in some cases, the entire electoral system - behind. Ron Paul is the only candidate with a hope of winning those voters back. For the GOP, Ron Paul is the only hope of surviving an election where more than 70% of the public oppose the policies set forth by this administration and the rest of the candidates.

More widespread exposure to the Ron Paul Constitutionalist platform would benefit both the GOP and the electorate as a whole. For the GOP, he represents the only hope of surviving a 22% approval rating. For the electorate, he represents the only alternative to the big government, aggressive nation-building, rights-revoking platform that seems to dominate both parties.

[AcidReign]

I like the Tancredo nod. His supporters may take notice. I would say that they are most likely to join Paul out of all of the lower polling candidates. Paul's immigration stance is strong.
