Because of all the Freepers that ridicule people for being for ANY aspect of Ron Paul... here’s looking at you, SoCalPol.

I don't watch Larry King.
Seeing this video, I'm glad I don't.

How clueless can you get? His grade school Marxism was embarrassing.

Here's the transcript:

Moore: I believe America is an imperialist war-mongering nation.

Paul: Oh yeah? Well I really believe that America is an imperialist war-mongering nation.

Moore: Oh yeah? Well I really really believe that America is an imperialist war-mongering nation.

Paul: Oh yeah? Well I really really really believe that America is an imperialist war-mongering nation.

Moore: Oh yeah? Well I really really really really believe that America is an imperialist war-mongering nation.

Paul: Oh yeah? Well I really really really really really believe that America is an imperialist war-mongering nation.

Moore: Oh yeah? Well I really really really really really really believe that America is an imperialist war-mongering nation.

I think LK is oblivious to his bias.

Generally speaking I like everything but his foreign policy views. On healthcare I’m sure I’d be on board with something he’d develop, but I doubt that would ever see the light of day.

OK, we’ll be back of some commercials that hopefully will make sense

Google Ari Emanuel and find out what he does for a living.

He is Rahm Emanuel's brother, and apparently of the same temperment.

Larry King shows off his profound ignorance when he characterized Paul’s distinction between capitalism and corporatism as “semantics”.

Good post. Because most elected republicans believe in corporatistic-government. They just cat like they dont when democrats are in charge.

It’s obvious you haven’t read his books.

On SOME, key word some, of his foreign policy views I may not agree. But on everything else, I’m on board.

why do i need to read his book to find out what whether he belives 9/11 is an inside job. I’ve seen a few clips where he try to avoid answering, with one where he kinda suggested he was too busy to focus on 9/11 investigation without denying it when conspiracy theorist would press him on it.

I was discussing Ron Paul with some fellow Tea Party folks. We agreed that Ron Paul has some good ideas, some kookie ideas. Our solution was to find sort of a Ron Paul ver 2.0

I developed a bad taste for Ron Paul back during Y2K when a friend of mine became obsessed with Ron Paul and stocking up for Y2K. About 2003 our friendship took a blow when I didn't agree with her about "despising George W Bush" and all the conspiracy theories.

But many of them do find it convenient to cry about that scrap when their agenda is threatened.

He did quite well....though Moore wasn’t there. Paul was just given a chance to “react” to a couple of clips. It would be fun to see them actually go head to head in person.

Paul has said over and over that he does NOT think 911 was an inside job and that he thinks Bin Laden did it. He hasn't "avoided" anything. The real conspiracy specialists these days are the birthers who have far more in common with the truthers than they'd like to admit. Fortunately, Paul hasn't got into that mess.

Dr. Paul is well-spoken and well researched. He's a formidable opponent, even if you disagre with his ideas.
Moore was frumpy and shot from the hip, no research, no foundation, just a bunch of assumptions waaaaay out of his league, especially in military issues. He was proud of Barak doing his fake salute at Dover.

Larry doesn't look so well these days.

Completely agree.

Paul did however have a problem with The 9/11 Report -- NOT conspiracy nut stuff -- but rather that the Report was a CYA exercize that didn't go far enough in holding responsible those individuals & agencies who should have been minding the store and weren't.

Socialism vs capitalism vs corporatism..

Republicans and Democrats haggle over ratios of Socialism vs capitalism, little capitalism. But when it doesn't work, Republicans get the blame with capitalism.

Sorry its late try:

Socialism (democrats) vs capitalism (libertarians) vs corporatism(Republicans) .

Republicans and Democrats haggle over ratios of Socialism vs corporatism since their lines are blurred, little capitalism. But when it doesn't work, Republicans get the blame for capitalism which is never tried .

I would admend

Democrat Leaders (Corporatist - favor bank, education, health, laywers)

vs

Republican Leaders (Corporatist - favor bank, industrial military complex, farming)

Democrat base = socialist
Republican base = capitalist

Not bad. What was interesting is that both bases opposed TARP1 under Bush for similar reasons. It was Bush/Paulson sold us out on TARP, Maxine Waters (who know Obama would be president) urged progressives in the house to support it.

Of course Bush pushing TARP sealed the "Republicans love the rich" message democrats sent for 8 years

Who jumped into TARP? Those moderate Washington establishmentarians. Who is that? The Senate!

His foreign policy is consistent and I can’t find many people have who a consistent policy. The current policy is, “We’re not leaving but we won’t send more troops even though the military says without more troops we cannot win”. That being the policy my counter argument would be, ‘fine, then leave’. There is no clear objective there and as such I think the right thing to do is to pull the troops out.

Iraq: I didn’t think we should have gone in but we did so my position slowly became: Whatever is needed to win. The policy now is, We don’t know exactly what we want out of Iraq so we will say that we’re leaving but we’ll leave the troops there anyways and we wont’ discuss it. That being the policy my new position is, ‘fine, then leave’.

Either develop a coherent policy in Iraq and Afghanistan or leave.
