Huggabee Forum Foxnews; Romney mentions Ron Paul 2 times in his answer

[samsung1]

Question was how would he differ from obama:... Mitt;"Like Ron paul, i want to cut federal spending and balance the budget", Like Ron Paul i will keep the economy thriving"

[Drex]

What a tool,,, to bad everyone is watching NFL :P

[neverseen]

Question was how would he differ from obama:... Mitt;"Like Ron paul, i want to cut federal spending and balance the budget", Like Ron Paul i will keep the economy thriving"

Lawl... that'll look good in a vid where he notes paul is the constitutional expert :D

[Kevin Smyth]

Stream????

well. there was on e "undecided voter" that stated he was a ron paul supporter...it looked like a plant

WTF is going on?

[UK4Paul]

If he would do things LIKE Ron Paul... why wouldn't voters actually vote for THE REAL THING? ;)

[pauliticalfan]

Haha seriously? I'd like a tube of this (was busy watching the 49ers thriller!)

[IterTemporis]

Wow... He definitely has Ron Paul on his mind.

Can't wait for Romney v. Paul, and then Paul v. Obama.

Especially, a Paul v. Obama debate..

[nowwearefree]

Question was how would he differ from obama:... Mitt;"Like Ron paul, i want to cut federal spending and balance the budget", Like Ron Paul i will keep the economy thriving"
as usual ...... tube or it never happened :D

Yea, i think Mitt is very smart about it for several reasons
1 Ron's fiscal side is consistent and is liked by most republicans pundits or followers, therefore it will give himself some credit
2 He wants to be friendly with Ron Paul, because Dr Paul will stop other candidates from surging, eg perry, newt, santorum etc
3 As much as we want to be anti Romney, Romney also wants to go 1 on 1 with us, because he think he has a better chance
4 in case he wins the GOP, he would need some of us to support him, or even if we don't support him we don't support obama

so all in all i am not surprised and i think it benefits both us and them

[growburn13]

http://www.ilive.to/view/23697/

Romney just wrapped up. But he had a question from a self identified Ron Paul supporter asking why he should support romney if he were to become the nominee, in particular in light of tarp.

[Sola_Fide]

that was the most uber pandering to the Ron paul voters, I cant say i dont love it when RP is mentioned but he was clearly pumping Ron

[IterTemporis]

Stream: http://www.newsandjava.com/watchfoxnewslive.htm

Edit: Huntsman on now..

[RPit]

We could so use that in an ad...

Quote that.. Then say "Mitt Believes IN Ron Paul keeping the economy thriving!"

But..

"Unlike Ron Paul Romney supported TARP"
"Unlike Ron Paul Romney didn't want to spend his energy finding the secrets of Federal Reserve"
He didn't care, but now we know they let out $16 Trillion Dollars more than the debt of USA which we accumulated in all our history

"Unlike Ron Paul Mitt Romney did not predict the Housing Bubble, the Financial Crisis"
"Unlike Ron Paul, who specifically laid out a plan to cut the budget by $1 Trillion year one, Mitt Romney has no stated policy how much and what he will cut. Unlike Ron Paul, Mitt Romney is all rhetoric Ron Paul is Substance!

Mitt believes in Ron Paul to keep the economy thriving. But ONLY Ron Paul knows how the economy works! Only Ron Paul has been a visionary on the economy. Only Ron Paul cared about the $16 Trillion dollars. Only Ron Paul can keep the economy thriving"

Hehe

[low preference guy]

Romney apparently is clueless of the fact that if Ron gets a little more support to become the only non-Romney left, it's very likely that Ron will seize the nomination from Mitt.

[wgadget]

I think it's COOL that they can't even stop talking about RON PAUL even when he's NOT THERE.


Talk about INFLUENCE. Dude.

[Windsurfer_For_Paul]

Mittons would do things like Ron Paul?

http://i1067.photobucket.com/albums/u425/windsurferforpaul/BullShitButton.jpg

[orenbus]

That question made me sick, it was from a alleged "Ron Paul supporter" asking if Romney got the nomination how would he go about getting Ron Paul supporters to back him in a general against Obama. How is he going to convince Ron Paul supporters that he isn't the other side of the same coin.

First of all, Ron Paul supporters should not be asking these candidates questions and bringing in Ron Paul's name into it. The are politicians running for president of course they are going to play to the audience and use someone's question and answer it however they want to get applause lines. Secondly having a proclaimed Ron Paul supporter assume the possibility of Romney already getting the nomination and going up against a hypothetical against Obama does not serve the cause of our trying to convince voters in South Carolina to vote for Ron Paul. This isn't brain science FFS, I'm going to assume that guy that asked the question is a plant because no way a Ron Paul supporter would be so obviously stupid or naive.

[skytoucher]

Ain't nothing like the real thing (http://youtu.be/svAs-6MiqxE)

[FunkBuddha]

I wonder if Mitt is a forum member. He seems to be a fan.

[pauliticalfan]

Ron Paul is a legend. This stuff never would have happened 4 years ago.

[walt]

Hahahaha....what a follower this guy is:)

That is what the elite strategy and private equity firms do...

[AhuwaleKaNaneHuna]

You can't blame him for wanting to associate himself with Ron Paul.

It's completely unbelievable though.

If he supported the bail outs, it just shows that he has NO CLUE how the economy went to crap, let alone what is required to get it back on track.


RON PAUL

THERE IS NO SUBSTITUE ;)

He might be on the bus but he doesn't have a ticket

[samsung1]

next Mitt will claim his real name is Mitt Paul

[Arklatex]

we want it down to Romey Paul - and they do too. They probably think they'll have it in the bag with social conservatives who are not so keen on states rights when it comes to marijuana.

Though I think when we expose Romney, we may had an unreal perfect storm play out for us. I am very optimistic yet real. Many evangelicals will not support Mitt Romney

[ShaneEnochs]

The longer this stuff goes on, the more it makes me think that Mitt is vying for a VP position.

[IterTemporis]

Just a question for those who were active last election.. Was there ever a debate that had only 2 candidates? With McCain and Romney? Just so I can know if a Paul v. Romney debate is even possible.

[low preference guy]

I only remember four: McCain, Romney, Paul, Huckabee, with the last two given less time.

[cindy25]

Haha seriously? I'd like a tube of this (was busy watching the 49ers thriller!)

they will replay many times

[hardrightedge]

They will never understand....Once you go Paul, you will never again Fall...for their B.S.

[ShaneEnochs]

Huntsman on now. He's smiling in a very weird way.

[jbuttell]

Just a question for those who were active last election.. Was there ever a debate that had only 2 candidates? With McCain and Romney? Just so I can know if a Paul v. Romney debate is even possible.

Hah, I don't think so... If I remember correctly, Ron Paul and Huck were there till the end... That said, the media shut out Ron and Huck at the end, giving them virtually no time in the debates.

If things continue as they have in this election cycle where Ron and Mitt are the two clear front-runners, I suspect they'll all of the sudden try and be 'balanced' and give the extremely low-polling figures like Huntsman as much time as they'd like.

Hey wait, they're already doing that ;P

[ZanZibar]

[pauliticalfan]

That Space answer that Huntsman gave had absolutely no substance. Ugh.

[AhuwaleKaNaneHuna]

Could it be a strategy of Romneys to keep saying " I'm Like Paul I'm Like Paul", so psychologically, it rules out potential voters as being able to think of Paul as being the ANTI-Romney? Hmmmmmmmm

[growburn13]

So I guess Huntsman wants to cut all foreign aid now too.

[RPit]

Huntsman is a smooth talker.. Any anyone believe these politicians! Seriously, they only they can Trust Ron but damnn!

[orenbus]

GUYS THE ONLY REASON ROMNEY BROUGHT UP RON PAUL IS BECAUSE HE WAS ASKED BY A SUPPOSED "RON PAUL SUPPORTER" WHAT HIS PLAN IS TO WIN US OVER? OF COURSE HE IS GOING TO BRING UP RON PAUL'S NAME IN THE ANSWER, HE RESPONDED SAYING OBAMA IS CUTTING THE MILITARY BY 1 BILLION IT WAS AN INDIRECT ATTACK ON PAUL. THE SUPPOSED SUPPORTER DID MORE HARM THEN GOOD AND ROMNEY ONLY BROUGHT UP RON PAUL'S NAME BECAUSE HE WAS ASKED. IN HIS RESPONSES HE GOT AT LEAST TWO ROUNDS OF APPLAUSE FROM THE AUDIENCE, THE "RON PAUL SUPPORTER" LOOKED LIKE AN IDIOT IN THE END.

THIS WAS A PLANT "SUPPORTER" ASKING ABOUT ROMNEY WINNING OVER RON PAUL SUPPORTERS.

This will just add fire to the Romney-Paul conspiracy theorists.

[jcarcinogen]

It seemed like a planted question to me. Why would a Paul supporter essentially admit that Romney is going to win and that type of question is never presented to the other candidates. It also follows the Establishment meme that Krauthammer started by writing that Paul should get some concession in the party.

[wgadget]

Did anyone get the "Paul supporter's" name, rank and serial number? Facebook?

[wgadget]

Why does Newt Gingrich remind me of Fred Flintstone?

[pauliticalfan]

Newt "I'm a historian."

[IterTemporis]

The guy who asked that last question about the founding fathers sound like he could be a Paul supporter..

Edit: Newt is kind of rude... or arrogant.

[wgadget]

Okay. I've had enough.

The campaign needs to come out with an ad titled, "GENUINE."

[pauliticalfan]

That was being booed? Newt looked like an idiot, yes, but it wasn't really overwhelming boos.

Ron should be there, don't like this move of turning it down.

but I remember he did not do so hot in the first Huckabee forum and besides everyone(including me) is watching the NFL playoffs right now and not this.


I am sure the "questions" for paul would be among the lines of racism,9/11,3rd party...

Things like this are just ammo for a little later in the campaign. See that first vid in my signature, Consistent Candidate? Imagine version 2 when it's down to Ron & Mitt, and we've got all this new footage to draw on. I'm sure the campaign will do something similar.

I'm thinking maybe a quiet version of the Coca-Cola theme "It's the real thing" playing in the background... :D

Ouch question for Santorum, and he mentioned Ron Paul.

'How can you say that you're a true conservative when you voted 6 times to raise the debt ceiling?'

On a little different note. did you notice Huck said at the beginning: "One of the people you hear tonight will be a nominee and possibly the President?" WTF??
This is the same crap they did with Ron 4 years ago. In the Fox debate, without Ron, Chris Wallace opened with the same phrase: "One of you will be the Republican nomine

The Huck also said "Ron Paul is not here, he is in Nevada," obviously implying that Ron doesn't care about SC.

Won't happen. The upheaval from the grassroots would kill it. The only chance they have is saddling RP with MR.

Most on this board went through a process to come to where they are. My psychic sniffer says Mitt wants RP to be POTUS because he does actually believe in America. He always looks at him with admiration when RP speaks at the debates and hangs on his every word. When he was shot down for the trillion dollar military budget shenanigans by RP he looked like a child scolded by their favorite adult.

i do feel the same way, Mitt seems to secretly admire Ron, i mean most people do in fact
especially when one look at RP's voting record, his consistency, it is truly admirable in politics

Maybe Ron just doesn't care about Huck.

Exactly and I agree with him! Ron didn't give a Huck!

Yay! Ron won the debate!

Palin didn't watch the event tonight, it is so obvious, she can't give any details when she's asked direct questions about what went on tonight and what the candidates said. :p

She is so horrible lol, sometimes I think she's smart like when she basically started to break the story to the other Fox and Media analysts that there is no way any GOP candidate can win without Ron Paul supporters, but her intelligence only shows like 10% of the time the other 90% of the time she is just so ditzy, lol.

I think I see what is going on here.

So often we hear (the tired old refrain) "I like some of Ron Paul's positions, but not all of his positions".

The candidates are appealing to a block of voters by taking on only one or two of Ron's positions, but not all of them, hoping to pick up the voters who agree with a particular point, but not another.

Is this just a guess or do you know something we don't?

Not only is it Ron Paul or nobody, if the republican party doesn’t wake up and do the right thing soon such as support Dr Paul and the Ron Paul movement, I shall personally work to help any group that works to deny the republicans what they want the most, an election win, local, state and federal. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

Yea a friend of mine said the same thing the other day, I started to laugh, but he was serious particularly with the Presidential race because in his mind it's either 4 more years of Obama or 8 years of Romney, which ends up being worse?
