Mitt Romney: "I'm Not Going To Focus On The Fed, Im Not Going To Spend My Time Going After Bernanke"

[Travlyr]

"We've got to get the truth out!" - Ron Paul

Mitt Romney is an empty suit.

[Theocrat]

Romney doesn't want to focus on the Fed probably because he knows nothing about the Fed, let alone, monetary theory and policy. He would rather "consult with lawyers" than do any investigation of the Fed's inner workings.

[KramerDSP]

"I'm not going to Focus on the Fed" is code for "I really, really, really want to be President. Pretty please, with sugar on top?".

[AuH20]

Oh no. He knows about the Fed. He's a smart cookie. It's just that he's tainted.

[QueenB4Liberty]

Mitt I like the mandates Romney! I like whoever started saying that.

[AGRP]

Sounding dumb never sounded so good!

Isn't he dreamy?

[Carson]

What could possibly go wrong?

[Stary Hickory]

Romney is a fucking idiot. Not a braincell in that skull of his. Nothing is destroying this nation faster than the FED and Bernanke.

[sailingaway]

Carson, your example forgets that you are not only stiffed with the bill for the printed money but with INTEREST on the bill for the printed money....

[TIMB0B]

He just lost the election.

[Sola_Fide]

Screw you Mitt!

[low preference guy]

This seems like an appropriate time to quote myself 8 months ago:


Everything about Romney screams ESTABLISHMENT

[Chester Copperpot]

What a dipshit...

[FreedomProsperityPeace]

I can't believe he's polling as high as he is. I thought Republicans had become more conservative? Romney's the anti-conservative RINO and shouldn't even be in the running, with his Romneycare and hiring of illegal aliens. :mad:

Psh. What are you talking about? R-Money is a Tea Party patriot. After all, the Tea Party occurred in the very state he once governed. Why else do you think he's polling so high amongst likely Tea Party voters?!

Agreed, but I have a feeling that those lawyers will probably be Ex Federal Reserve Employees, or better yet, Goldman Sachs. As we already know full well, The Federal Reserve Bank and US Treasury (Paulson) is where Goldman Sachs Lawyers go for their "next" promotion.

[AZKing]

I had to laugh at the fact that he goes into talking points mode at :38. That dude is a walking cliche, nothing more. Then again, that seems to win elections these days.

[Legend1104]

Obama evil. I am a member of the AgainstObamacans Party. Forget issues, who needs common sense solutions, if we just defeat Obamer then the world will be lolly pops and tooties rolls.

WTF. Whenever I don't focus my eyes on that image, all the circles start moving counter clockwise!?

[AGRP]

Why would he focus on the fed when he can focus on his logo?

[Matthew Zak]

Why are there Romney for president ads on this bulletin board?

[Sola_Fide]

Why are there Romney for president ads on this bulletin board?

Probably so the admins can make a little change while we all point and laugh at Romney's face.

What a fool. This guy says the "job" of the president is to "put people back to work".


Romney would be Obama on steroids.

Some quotes for Mittens:


"[One of the basic planks of socialism is] centralization of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly." - Karl Marx

"The establishment of a central bank is 90% of communizing [socializing] a country." - Vladimir Lenin

"Print is the sharpest and strongest weapon of our party." - Joseph Stalin

"Let me issue and control a nation's money and I care not who writes the laws." - Mayer Amschel Rothschild

"Control oil and you control nations; control food and you control the people; control money and you control the world." - Henry Kissinger

Perhaps he might prefer this source:


"The root of all evil is money, some say. But the root of our money evil is government. The very beginning of our troubles can be traced to the day when the federal government overstepped its proper defensive function and began to manipulate the monetary system to accomplish political objectives. The creation of the Federal Reserve Board made it possible in America for men arbitrarily to change the value of our money. Previously, that value had been determined solely by the natural interplay of the amount of precious metals held in reserve, the value men freely placed on those precious metals, and the amount of material goods which were available for sale or exchange." - Ezra Taft Benson

Criticize the fed and the campaign sponsors dry up.

[Lothario]

What a scum bag. "I'm not going to worry about the Fed. What's wrong is we're just not being competitive." Oh yea, because you like to talk about how you used to work in the private sector. Most disturbing thing of all - you can't glean a single fact, or an ounce of knowledge, or shred of information from all the words he spoke...just a bunch of noise.

[Jordan]

If I were Romney, I'd stand up on the stage and say "At Bain Capital I cut waste, streamlined operations, and squeezed more out of every business yadda yadda" until my chin fell off.

There's a reason that Ford marketed his car as a "horseless carriage" and not as an "automobile." Automobile sounded technical, but "horseless carriage" described exactly what the product was and how it would solve his customers' problems. Obviously the Model T was far more automobile than a horseless carriage, but no one who bought it really cared all that much about what it was named.

I don't want a description of my problems, I just want an easy to understand solution. Monetary policy reform is not an easy to understand solution, and Romney understands that, why don't we?

What is difficult to understand about if you are a believer in the free market system, we should have a free market in money too???

The point is that Romney is a Keyensian at heart. He doesn't understand the problem enough to make a case for anything that will help us be productive again.

You don't have to understand the problems if the problems don't resonate with the voters.

[Sola_Fide]

You don't have to understand the problems if the problems don't resonate with the voters.

You are severly underestimating the influence that Ron Paul and other free market thinkers have had in recent years. We are growing, and the Keyensians are dying.

Austrian economics IS resonating with the grass roots. Romney, Boner, and the rest of the bunch are completely behind the curve...and they are going to get their clocks cleaned.

I saw everything I needed to see in Ron's CPAC speech. He had a chance to go out there and talk about the things that would have united everyone in the building. He could've credited the Tea Party, he could have talked about balanced budgets, he could have stood in front of thousands of influential conservatives and television cameras and told the world that he is the most fiscally-responsible man in Congress. But he didn't.

Instead he latched onto the same talking points that have carved him a tiny niche in the voting populace. He pushed away the average conservative to get the cheers of his 20-something "base." Ron's no marketer--and he could quite possibly be the worst public speaker I've ever seen in my life. Ron went to CPAC to educate, and I have no doubt he'll run to "educate" (i.e. fail to attract votes) if he runs for president. For the longevity of this movement, I hope that Ron doesn't run. Oh man do I hope that he doesn't run.

If anything, Rand should run. Rand knows how to talk, but more importantly, he knows when to shut up.

Ron still approaches his candidacy like he's a fringe candidate. If you think of yourself as a fringe candidate, you're going to be treated like one.

That's nice and all. For US. But, the majority of the voting public will not understand this and will be scared of it. If we mention this, we darn sure had better anticipate what their concerns will be and address those concerns proactively.

People vote for someone who paints a pretty picture of the America that they hold near and dear to the hearts and who they believe has the solution to get us there. Most do not want to know the details.

[Travlyr]

The solution is "A Cross of Gold" (http://www.gata.org/files/Vieira-ACrossOfGold-10-21-2010.pdf) (pdf), and it is very easy to understand. It only takes about 20 minutes of your time to read it.

I'll bet Romney was thinking "I love this, p*ssing off those Ron Paulers"

What an idiot. At least he has given us more material to use against him.

Well, I think you are right in that Ron is still in "education" mode. But you have to take into account that his education in 2008 started an entire grass roots movement unlike anything we have seen in our lifetimes. It led to dozens of electoral victories and a refocusing on the issues of monetary policy and foriegn policy.


Are there problems right now with Ron's marketing? Yes.

Is Rand a better speaker than Ron? Yes.

Does Rand unify more of the Republican base than Ron? Yes.

Does Rand have a better chance to be President? Yes (and I believe he will be President one day).


STILL, with all of these downsides, the potential for cultural change is very strong if Ron Paul can show well in 2012. Even in losing, we can still win. I am more convinced that Ron should run than ever right now.

[puppetmaster]

i fear 2016 is going to be too late to save our country, by then we will have to attempt to rebuild whatever remains......we need to field a 2012 candidate that is dedicated to winning and not educating. We should do the educating and they should stick to campaigning to win NO MATTER WHAT.

RP 2012....(yes I know it's ambiguous) :)
