After current commercial break.

Do you have any other responsibilities as 'grassroots liaison' besides posting of "official" threads which alert us of an upcoming media appearance?

Or am I wrong in assigning the 'go-between/messenger' responsibility to you?? If so, what is your function within the campaign?

[flybeech]

WOW! What's the big deal? Can't a 4 year veteran with almost 31,000 posts start an "official" thread?

The Collins will be, on Dr. Paul's Inauguration Day, tasked with the sole responsibility, of consuming the still-beating hearts of Dr. Paul's enemies. :toady:

Long running story, confusing for the new folks. No worries though, The Collins does not respond to posts. :)

[flybeech]

Nuff said.

[PastaRocket848]

he should at least be a shoe-in for press secretary ;)

/s

[jcarcinogen]

I think he means official in terms of the forum not as an official message from the campaign. The 'grassroots central' part of these forums can get busy and often there are multiple posts for the same media event making it confusing and polluting the forums with redundancy.

[teacherone]

fess up...how many of matt collins' sock puppets are in this thread already?

[RonPaulCult]

Making Ron Paul stand there while Obama speaks? Demeaning.

[zerosdontcount]

seriously, here is Ron Paul, let's make him wait for Obama's speech. Assholes.

[tfurrh]

teased me :)

[Ronulus]

STOP WITH THE TEASING!

[Harald]

Here is Ron Paul for you patiently waiting for some Obama bs. Oops. We will talk to you on the other side of the break

[Muttley]

I think I could see a little frustration on his face when she said back in 60 seconds.

[Tunink]

Icing him.

[LeJimster]

Making Ron Paul stand there while Obama speaks? Demeaning.

Thats what I thought, and then insult to injury just as hes going to talk.. And now we go for 60 second break.

[Diashi]

YOU CNN RATS!

Here's Paul, now back to Obama. That was the Obama speech, now here's Ron Paul - right after this break.

[Bruno]

It's an Obama conspiracy so Ron's voice is silenced!

[libertygrl]

Boxed in? Bitch!

[Muttley]

This lady is out of control!

[ShaneEnochs]

Wtf is this woman talking about?

[Paulitical Correctness]

:mad:

[brooks009]

Get me out of this box Ron!!

[Cap]

Oh man he handled the boxed in question well. He's on his game today.

[J-Reg]

Wtf is this woman talking about? What's she saying? Fill me in here!

[Feeding the Abscess]

Wow, this interview is a drastic departure from that Newsmax article.

Did Ron even interview with Wead for that, or did Wead just make up the whole thing? lol

Note to Gary Johnson: when you cry about being excluded from forums and debates, answer like Ron. Don't run to the FCC or whatever.

[ShaneEnochs]

What's she saying? Fill me in here!

Saying he is boxing himself in by his position on israel, thus not allowing him to get more supporters.

[kylejack]

Great interview so far. Ron interviews well from the Capitol, usually. Live, from the POWERHOUSE

[WD-NY]

Ron is pwning this lightweight HARD.

Wow.

[brooks009]

EASY COME EASY GO!!

[Paulitical Correctness]

"At least I don't plaster on the makeup like a trollop"...

[ShaneEnochs]

"Gingrich is the fourth person to have done this, why should we be thinking it's locked in?"

PRICELESS

[Feeding the Abscess]

Great interview so far. Ron interviews well from the Capitol, usually. Live, from the POWERHOUSE

No kidding. Have Ron do debates on a satellite feed from the Capitol lol

[libertygrl]

GREAT JOB RON!!!!

[Muttley]

Bahahaha...the fire is out baby! Ron is on fire in this interview!

[RonPaulCult]

STRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRONG Interview!

[robertwerden]

DONATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ronulus]

He handeled that very well and he didn't mumble at all or say um. That was excellent.

[tony m]

Kick butt ending of the interview.

[hillertexas]

Damn.....he bitchslapped that interview!! Game on!

[jcarcinogen]

Great closing line! Brooke is kind of a tool but she is pretty attractive.

[Tina]

Excellent! He explained his stance very well.

[BUSHLIED]

Go RON! He's on fire! He's stepping up his game! He put her in box! Tube that interview and get it up on the front page asap

[icon124]

lol he just killed every question.

America is boxed in not me.

Flavor of the week (gingrich) easy come easy go.

[IndianaPolitico]

Wow, THIS is the Ron that EVERY voter in America needs to see! Forceful, witty, too the point, and just plain likeable! One of his best interviews. Love how he quoted Netanyahu, and the former leader of Mossad.

[WD-NY]

um... wow... best interview ever? (in terms of pwning a very partisan anchor)??

Every answer by Ron masterfully re-spun her spin.

[anewvoice]

Easy come, easy go! That was awesome.

Closing with his list of priorities was awesome, no I don't worry about Newt, I worry about our country!

[Hoax]

Knocked it out of the park. He's in a great mood, things are going very well.

[Harald]

Great interview! I loved "Easy comes Easy Goes"

[libertygrl]

Saying he is boxing himself in by his position on israel, thus not allowing him to get more supporters.

So what's she suggesting he do? Lie and pander like the other candidates? What an airhead!

[fade]

Tube it when you can!

[Tod]

Sounded like he did great to me, although I caught it midway. Was the start not good too?

"Easy come, easy go" ~ Ron Paul in regards to flash-in-the-pan candidates. :p

[JohnGalt23g]

Making Ron Paul stand there while Obama speaks? Demeaning.

Don't worry... when Ron is POTUS, other people will get to stand there and wait until he is done talking.

[IndianaPolitico]

This will be the headline for the next couple of days, "Ron Paul says Gingrich's support is, "Easy come, easy go".

[pure]

ON FIRE. MOST SUCCINCT INTERVIEW EVER. KILLED IT.

[Kords21]

That ending was awesome!

[Feeding the Abscess]

"Easy come, easy go" ~ Ron Paul in regards to flash-in-the-pan candidates. :p

Yeah, the beginning was a great answer with regards to being excluded. Basically a 180 degree turn from the crying GJ did.

[Tunink]

:)

[jumpyg1258]

Good closing statement by Ron in that interview.

[pauliticalfan]

Tube!!!!!!!!!

[kylejack]

Ron also hinted that he had an internet response to the Israel question that will appear shortly and then smiled mischievously.

I wonder if he's talking about the WND Doug Wead interview or something else.

[LeJimster]

BAM! Killed it!

Loved the interview. He was on fire.

[culvereric]

Tube!!!!!!!!!

this

[garyallen59]

Wow. I found myself clapping. That was an awesome way to end the interview. Go Dr. Paul!!

[PastaRocket848]

Great closing line! Brooke is kind of a tool but she is pretty attractive.

of course, that's her job lol. you think they hired her to think?

[freejack]

She was a bit belligerent but gave Ron an opportunity to respond with awesomeness. Paraphrased: "If Netanyahu can say that Israel doesn't need help from the U.S. why can't I?"

[JohnGalt23g]

Like

A

BOSS!!

[WD-NY]

What really makes this interview so AWESOME/EPIC is how plainly biased and combative her questions were... the more experienced anchors (like Wolf) usually do a much better job sounding "neutral"... even when they're not.

Ron's ripostes' were A++. He needs to use these 'talking points' more!

[ShaneEnochs]

Ron also hinted that he had an internet response to the Israel question that will appear shortly and then smiled mischievously.

I wonder if he's talking about the WND Doug Wead interview or something else.

I'm pretty excited about whatever it is.

[PastaRocket848]

I.........NEED.........TUBEZ...........

[Ronulus]

Another video ad about foreign policy would be awesome.

[Tina]

This will be the headline for the next couple of days, "Ron Paul says Gingrich's support is, "Easy come, easy go".

I hope so!

Yes, but that interview is so different in tone from the CNN interview that I'm left wondering if Wead didn't just write the whole thing up himself.

[bronxboy10]

A

BOSS!!

...or as his own ad would say, "THAT'S how Ron Paul rolls." :D

[Eric21ND]

tubes!! Where's Moxy News?

[Diashi]

Knocked it out of the park. He's in a great mood, things are going very well.

It's probably all the money we just dropped for the new ads.

[PastaRocket848]

Yes, but that interview is so different in tone from the CNN interview that I'm left wondering if Wead didn't just write the whole thing up himself.

i didn't think the article sounded like anything other than ron. i'll check the tv spot once the tube is available, but frankly i dont see it really as an issue even if wead DID just write it himself. he's a senior adviser to ron. what makes ron so special is that basically any one of us can guess pretty accurately what his position is on something we've never heard him address. it's a byproduct of ideological consistency.

It's also a byproduct of knowing your candidate.

[Hoax]

It's probably all the money we just dropped for the new ads.

Could be that. I'm more inclined to think, based on how dismissive he was of Gingrich's rise in the polls, that things on the ground in Iowa are looking solid. Serial Hypocrisy probably had a devastating effect.

[wide awake]

Agree with everyone that it was really well done and succinct. I loved the response to the box question and the summation.

I really don't get the charges of bias with that interviewer. I don't think she was combative at all and was actually trying to empathize with him on being excluded. The questions were pretty much on topic to me.

She said he wasn't a republican because he wanted to stop aid to israel.

[PastaRocket848]

...he's the only republican that takes that position. just sayin'... she has some logical support there.

Ron Paul is a boss. +rep

[pauliticalfan]

Dayum.

[EuRa]

Thank you for the youtube video. Well done, Ron. Wow!

[bluesc]

That was an awesome interview. CNN has been pushing Newt non-stop for the last week, and Ron completely dismissed him :p

Whatever he did to prep for that interview, he needs to continue doing it.

[wide awake]

She said he wasn't a republican because he wanted to stop aid to israel.

meh... I don't know...It wasn't like a Bill O'Reilly interview.

I agree he generally gets shafted in air time but I think we tend to get a little over-sensitive and look for a bias when a lot of times it's no different from how any other interview would be conducted.

[XTreat]

Awesome interview!

[vita3]

Very well done interview, really made the telepromoter reader look shallow & clueless

[ShaneEnochs]

Perry said he'd start all foreign aid out at zero, including Israel. Have you seen anyone say he's not a republican in MSM?

[agorist ninja]

Damn, Ron absolutely dominated that interview!

Very energetic.

[TXcarlosTX]

shes hot!

[Perry]

Especially annoying when the OP fails to update the op with the video. Am i seriously going to read through the entire thread looking for the video? Uuuuum no. I'll wait until the next guy posts a thread WITH the video and post in that thread.

[specsaregood]

shes hot!

meh, looks to me like she has a reptilian body underneath that skin suit.

[Original_Intent]

"....easy come, easy go..." pitch perfect!

[wide awake]

Perry said he'd start all foreign aid out at zero, including Israel. Have you seen anyone say he's not a republican in MSM?

She didn't say he wasn't a republican. She said "that doesn't sound like a candidate that will realistically challenge for the republican nomination".... considering the current makeup of registered republicans, it's a fair point. I just think we tend to be hyper-sensitive.

By the way, watch the Wolf Blitzer interview with Perry... that was a lot tougher interview that what Ron had.

[doronster195]

delete post... wrong reply

[ashura]

FANTASTIC interview!

[specsaregood]

Perry said he'd start all foreign aid out at zero, including Israel. Have you seen anyone say he's not a republican in MSM?

Perry backed away from that claim within an hour of making it.

[Diurdi]

Well spoken.

[ZanZibar]

Just watched it...sheesh.... What is it, amateur hour on CNN?

[SpicyTurkey]

The host pissed me off.

[Crickett]

She was a bit belligerent but gave Ron an opportunity to respond with awesomeness. Paraphrased: "If Netanyahu can say that Israel doesn't need help from the U.S. why can't I?"

I thought that was hysterical..in fact, I thought this was the absolutely funniest I have ever seen Ron be.."I'm not in a box, the American people are in a box"..that killed me, too..and then when he said he cared about this country more than he cared about Newt, I just about lost it. President PAUL!

[pacelli]

LMFAO "Just remember, easy come, easy go". HAH Dr. Paul is so fucking hilarious in his own way.

[Stupified]

Dr. Paul was on top of his game! "I'm not in a box, I'm just telling the truth!"

[KramerDSP]

The older Ron Paul gets, the younger he looks. Especially when he is ON his game. The master at his absolute best. Unfortunately, it aired at 3:45 PM EST. Most of the working population would not have gotten home in time. And unlike other interviews with candidates, I doubt CNN airs excerpts throughout the night. I hope I am wrong, though.

[Shane Harris]

awesome interview on Ron's part. a lot of good lines and rebuttals. easy come easy go haha awesome you ccan tell he does NOT like the newt haha

[wstrucke]

That was amazing.

[WIwarrior]

Holy shit that was a good interview.

[Cabal]

This lady lacks the capacity to process even half of what he said. Sigh.

[speciallyblend]

The Collins will be, on Dr. Paul's Inauguration Day, tasked with the sole responsibility, of consuming the still-beating hearts of Dr. Paul's enemies. :toady:

priceless

[rprprs]

Just got home from a long day and was hoping to see something positive on RPF. Couldn't have asked for more. That was Ron at his best, and those closing statements were awesome!!!!

If I didn't have so much of a libertarian bent, I'd say that vid should be required viewing before anyone gets within 25 feet of a polling place. :p

[speciallyblend]

just watched the interview, Ron paul just hit a GRANDSLAM!!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2CzovpTdrs&feature=fvst<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2CzovpTdrs&amp;feature=fvst">

[Lavitz]

I saw this interview during my lunch break at work. I was having a pretty lousy day, but Ron's superb performance really lifted my spirits :D Closing statement was amazing, as well as referencing Netanyahu and mentioning the military donations.

[captain]

This lady lacks the capacity to process even half of what he said. Sigh.

I caught that too Cabal--she really didn't do a very good job. I didn't like her voice or her looks.

[limequat]

Dear Ron Paul,
Please be the guy that you were in that interview in every coming debate and appearance. Thanks.
Love,
Limequat

[Dave39168]

So your not too concerned???

I’m only concerned about being able to convince people that we need to change our attitude in Washington.

That the status quo won’t work, that we need a new foreign policy. We need to look at the Federal Reserve. We need to balance our budget. We need to live within the rule of law. We need to care about civil liberties….

That’s what I care about!


HOMERUN!:D

Very good interview.

I thought this was an old thread and I stupidly kept scrolling past it.
Little did I know there was extreme Ron Paul awesomeness inside.
That made my night.
GO RON!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Fredom101]

I REALLY can't STAND that snotty woman conducting the interview. This is why I don't watch TV. She added NOTHING to the chat with RP. She tried to "challenge" him on all sorts of things but just moves on to the next question after his response. I really hate the way "interviewing" is done these days on TV. Why do interviewers think they are just there to fire away questions and not be part of a conversation?

Ron is the only one with balls.

[kuckfeynes]

LOL for what he's been up against lately, those were softballs! Brilliant performance.

Perry is definitely more conservative than his handlers allow him to be.

[Feeding the Abscess]

He promised RJC today that aid to Israel would increase under a Perry administration.

[Bruno]

Solid from beginning to end! Loved how he rattled off the concerns at the end.

and @ Gingrich - "Easy come, easy go!" Lmao!

[Travlyr]

Another great interview!

Washington D.C. media people need to get out more. They are living in a bubble. The rest of America matters and we have the Internet.

[scottditzen]

That. Was. Great.

If this man isn't our next President it would be a real shame.

[InTradePro]

bump for those that missed it.
