CBS Labels Ron Paul a "Meaningless Fruitcake" With "No Chance" Of Winning

Why would you want free trade though? To my understanding doesn't that mean alot of hard working people would lose jobs?

I'm waiting too, but I'm guessing the reason you aren't posting it isn't because you can't find it, but because you miss-quoted Dr. Paul. If he really said what you suggest he said, I'm sure that clip would be all over the internet and wouldn't be hard to find at all. Maybe it was like the video where Giuliani accuses him of suggesting we invited the 9/11 attacks, when Paul didn't even say that, the moderator did lol.

But of course, if I am wrong, please post the video because I'd definitely be interested in seeing that. I know Ron Paul's biggest problem is that he doesn't talk like a typical politician, he is a straight shooter so it's easy for the media and other politicians to twist his words into saying something he never said at all. So by all means, let's see this video!

How many debates have there been? Going though all the transcripts will take time and this isn't really on my top 10 priority list.......I'll find it WHEN I get a chance.

Have a good one!:s4:

P4B, I, too have read the plank statements from Ron Paul, and besides wanting to take away my Social Security and Medicare, yes, he did blame us for WWII ... he's a nutcase ... OK, so he's a nutcase that wants to legalize pot ... big deal ... I'm not willing to piss away my country over the ability to smoke more pot, but it looks like plenty of people are ... :(

The claims you make are just not true! He has never said anything about taking away your Social Security. He has said we can save money by cutting the money we spend on our Foreign Policy and take care of the people who need the social security, and giving the young women and men a chance to opt out of the program. I never understood why I was forced to pay into social security when it is my money! I should be able to invest it in anything I want. Medicare is noting but a drain on our government. Granted we can not just cut everyone off, but we can make it to where people have a way to afford insurance. Again I ask to show me where he has said the US is at fault for WW2.

You may be a "big boy" now but what happens if your investment collapses? Who takes care of the old man then? THEN you'd be screaming for help from the socialists.

And what about the people that never quite got to investing? More street people or more welfare to support them?

Your right; there is a BIG difference between free trade and fair trade.
