Ron Paul on Situation Room CNN NOW! [Tube Inside]

[KramerDSP]

on Now!

[KramerDSP]

"To say I want to legalize heroin is a gross distortion! I want to legalize freedom! Leave it up to the states!"

Wolf Blitzer went from FEMA to Heroin to Anti-Abortion. They are fighting us!! I love it!

[KramerDSP]

Do you think you can win? Followed by Aren't you too old?

[IDefendThePlatform]

That was freaking outstanding. Dr. P is in full campaign mode. Interviews like that are exactly why I give him money and support.

[belian78]

Wow... Sounds like wolf was gunning for Ron pretty hardcore.

[IDefendThePlatform]

Wow... Sounds like wolf was gunning for Ron pretty hardcore.

He was, but Ron was on his game. Plus, Wolf at least lets his guests talk without constant interruption.

[pcosmar]

Only people that don't understand Legalized Freedom (or people that hate Freedom) don't get it.

[ClayTrainor]

is it over? did i miss it? Commercials on cnn right now

[trey4sports]

Toooooobz

[IDefendThePlatform]

is it over? did i miss it? Commercials on cnn right now

Wolf said more with Ron coming up in the next hour. I think it was taped earlier.

[KramerDSP]

Yep. Next topic will be Ron's bin Laden comments.

[low preference guy]

stream?

[FreedomProsperityPeace]

From the perspective of a general liberal CNN viewer, this interview so far probably isn't winning anyone over. What they heard is "Ron Paul doesn't want to help people who go through disasters", "Ron Paul wants to repeal Roe. vs. Wade", "Ron Paul will be in his 80s when he's president". :rolleyes:

If there were any Republicans watching (doubtful), he might have made some headway with his stance on abortion and the Constitution.

[SWATH]

talking about him now. Republican strategist says he's too consistent to get any votes. Says he is pro-heroin, and against going after Bin Ladin. Also says he will not even be a factor in the election.

[FreedomProsperityPeace]

Oh....and now they trot out Blankley and Carville to beat him up. Usually you have a Republican vs. a Democrat pundit debating each other. In this segment, they're both clubbing Dr. Paul! :mad:

[trey4sports]

the political strategists are trashing Ron on CNN

[James Madison]

Blankley is a fucking tool.

[trey4sports]

they're both fucking tools

[LibertyEagle]

Yup, they are. But, Dr. Paul did it to himself.

[KramerDSP]

His response to Wolf's heroin question was fantastic, talking about distortions. He will now have a chance to follow up on a second round of distortions from the republican strategist regarding bin Laden. If he hits this one out of the park, some viewers will key in on how the media distorts his positions.

CNN set this up perfectly. It was like the bizarro John Stossel hour. They talked about the flood situation first, and then brought up FEMA, Heroin, Anti-Abortion, Chances, Age one after the other. Then more about the flood. Then Carville and the GOP guy. Then they said Huckabee was the front runner, even though CNN's OWN poll has Paul as the frontrunner against Obama. Crazy.

[S.Shorland]

100% name recognition is better than 71%.I think many people will think 'Did he really say that?' and may give him a look.

[James Madison]

Now they're talking about Bin Laden's porn stash.

[FreedomProsperityPeace]

Yup, they are. But, Dr. Paul did it to himself.What does that mean?

[R3volutionJedi]

What does that mean?

I was wondering the same thing...

[zacharyrow]

What does that mean?


That person didn't like his interview on good morning either. We like to sit here and criticize EVERY single interview, but realistically one interview isn't going to kill us.

It's a long long long campaign. Ron Paul has a lot more people that know who he is now, and that was our main problem last time. A lot of people know he's not just some crazy outsider now. He has like what, 9-10 months to explain his stance? He'll be fine.

[Guitarzan]

What does that mean?


Yeah...there are a few people here that think Ron should either keep his mouth shut on certain issues, or change those positions altogether so he's more palatable to the mainstream. In essence, they want Ron to become like Romney.

[TIMB0B]

RP coming back on after the break!

[TIMB0B]

RP is on right MEOW!

[KramerDSP]

Ron Paul will have 90%-95% name recognition by the end of the week.

They're attacking him like he's Palin circa 2008. But he's attacking right back at them, unlike Palin circa 2008.

I think if we survive this initial onslaught, there is literally nothing left except the racist newsletters that they can throw at us.

Survive the racist newsletters, and it's basically DieBold as the only thing that stops us. But we have to act like we're at 1% in the polls.

[TIMB0B]

Wait, not yet...

[TIMB0B]

Another commercial break.

[acptulsa]

I can't believe they're going to turn the camera back his way after they went to all the trouble to trash him. Wonder if they'll let him refute, or try to keep him busy on other subjects.

The only hope I really have from that, aside from a better response from RP and the other parties involved (ahem*LEW*ahem), is that it's a story without much legs. It is what it is, and it can't really stay in the news cycle longer than a few days unless the campaign has some stupid response that draws it out. It's something that could fairly easily be swept away by bigger issues. The best possible outcome is Paul looks better for staying issues-focused while the main thing being thrown at him as a personal accusation of racism. And I don't really like it, but there are a lot of GOP voters who will be very sympathetic to claims of false racism accusations, particularly if that is being used as the main issue to discredit RP at the moment.

This is a taped interview from earlier in the day. He cannot refute anything.

[TIMB0B]

Now they're talking about Bin Laden's porn stash.

I thought he had a beard.

[georgiaboy]

haven't watched any of this, but from where we are this early in the race, I like our chances.

Most conservatives like everything about Ron Paul except for foreign policy, which they're softening on.

Most liberals like everything about Ron Paul except for social issues, which they're softening on.

Bottom line, it's the economy, stupid, and Ron Paul wins this every time.

[TIMB0B]

Another ****ing commercial!

[James Madison]

I thought he had a beard.

lol. He probably had that, too.

[anaconda]

tube or it didn't happen.

[tasteless]

I thought he had a beard.



lol, who knew Bin Laden and Stossel had so much in common

[TIMB0B]

Okay, NOW he is on.

[KramerDSP]

"I proposed this back in 2001"

FINALLY!!!

[Roxi]

Every news article and interview they keep saying hes 75... which he will be 77 in August... not saying its bad they are rounding down, just that it is weird.

[extrmmxer]

Ron is doing a fantastic job. Good job RON!

[KramerDSP]

"We are in Iraq because of the oil. We are in Lybia because of the oil. We are NOT in Syria, because there is no oil" (paraphrased).

"no, we shouldn't be over there. Why? This country is bankrupt, spending trillions of dollars to maintain this empire. We elected Obama to supposedly end this, and he has expanded on this"

Ron is on FIRE. He destroyed Chris Matthews and Wolf Blitzer within a 30-minute time span.

[KramerDSP]

Wolf - "We are down to 50,000 troops in Iraq" and gives Ron no time to retort. LMAO.

[Verrater]

tube :(

[FreedomProsperityPeace]

I felt that he wasn't as clear and concise as he could have been at the beginning of that segment, but he finished strong.

[kah13176]

It seems a lot of these things focus on foreign policy...Hannity, this, etc. Not that it's a bad thing, but I wish we could get a little coverage on economic policy and other things.

[S.Shorland]

He isn't for legalising Heroin.He's for leaving it up to the States.

[smartguy911]

[rockandrollsouls]

He needs to slow down

Ughhh stop talking about Bin Laden and using the word "conspiracy" Ron.

I laughed out loud, everytime I watch Wolf Blitzer interview Ron... too funny

[sailingaway]

first video removed by user. User is clearly a tool.

[pcosmar]

Ughhh stop talking about Bin Laden and using the word "conspiracy" Ron.
:confused:
Why
Which of the several conflicting stories do you believe?
Why do you believe it?

I believe he was dead long ago.
Because,
He was diagnosed with a serious terminal illness and required constant medical care.
He was not expected to live 5 years. That was in the late 90s.
he has been reported to be dead several times since then. And buried.

I seriously doubt that by some medical miracle he had survived this long.
I also question the ever changing stories (by folks known to lie) about his recent and politically advantageous death.

Ron is both NOT Stupid and is a medical Doctor. He has questioned the DNA (that could not possibly been done) and the discrepancies in the story.

His statement that it would give rise to "Theories" is true.

[ronpaulitician]

Good stuff. He is getting a lot of time to talk. Fewer interruptions. More forceful in making his point and not letting himself be interrupted.

It's likely still a message of principle that will fly over the heads of too many voters, but at least we're getting closer to the point where they can make an informed decision if they choose to.
