Ron Paul Schools the House Financial Services Committee, TWICE! 1/5/2009

YouTube Link

OMG I love Ron Paul this video is just hard core proof he is the only sane one in Washington.

Thanks for posting this video here on ATS. I am an avid Ron Paul follower. It's too bad he was pushed away by the MSM. He was the right man for the job(President). I have since moved on, but continue to enjoy what he has to say every time he speaks. Thanks again...

Way back when the campaign began people were always asking me,"Who is that guy?", so I produced a video about Dr. Paul.

Getem Doc!
Star for the OP


Dump the FED

Peace

If you want to flip out watch this

www.c-spanarchives.org...

House Committee
Oversight and Government Reform
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, Industry Analysts and Academics

These guys tell Congress what a disaster they created.

"Witnesses testified about business practices and operations at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac that eventually led to their takeover by the federal government. They focused on risk management practices and warnings to key company executives about the hazards of the subprime mortgage markets and over extension of credit to home buyers. They also talked about the housing industry and its role in the current financial crisis."

Why the hell is this man not walking into the Oval Office on the 20th instead of that liberal jackass?

The more I hear him speak the more I realize that he was probably the best chance we had to pull ourselves out of our grave before the dirt is pushed in over top of us.

hahaha. Ron felt sorry for the guy and threw him a bone at the end. I like that, cause he could've owned that guy on an extreme level. But no, it's not about his pride it's about the truth and honesty with him. So sad he's disadvantaged cause of this.

It still beats me why this man has not been made Potus... he is the only one who knows what hes talking about. Sad world we live in.

Is it just me or near the start of the video did he have that look like he's saying something that should be common sense?

One thing dawned on me while watching that:
Ron Paul critics say he has a tendency to become incoherent at times and doesn't speak in as concise a manner as, say, Barack Obama. But that's not it. Ron Paul appears less coherent simply because nothing he says is scripted. Clearly he's drawing his argument, in real-time, from that big brain of his. In contrast, when you watch Obama speak EVERYTHING sounds clear and scripted. Ron Paul speaks passionately, spontaneously and from the heart. Far from being less intelligent, this exemplifies his excessive thinking ability. I think this is a good way to identify fakes. Watch members of congress talk and it's the unscripted speakers who are most genuine.

Nice little speech...

But the majority of America doesn't care.

They've already chosen Obama.

Even if he makes hours and hours of long winded speech it changes nothing. NOTHING.

Now run along and be a good sheep. America needs you now more than ever.

Baaaa....

The more I hear about Ron Paul, the more I listen to him, the more I realize that I should have voted for him. Or at least elect him as a write-in.

I'm voting for Ron Paul next election... if there is another election...

What I found interesting about Ron Paul was that like another poster said no one even hardly knows him there is the problem. You never see news casts airing what he says instead we see news casts about scantly clad celebrity shoots, celebrities on drugs, celebrity deaths, pregnant celebrities, celebrities going to jail, people who flip out and go on a murder spree, killer santa's, and tons of garbage about ohhhhh the president said this or that, this industry wants a bail out, how much we are in debt, etc.

I've started talking to people in my area about Ron Paul the few people who knew him wanted him for president for sure. Those that didn't after I explained to them what he talks about and his views on things like the economy about 95 percent of them said one thing, "Well why didn't we elect him president?" Then I have to explain why.

I honestly think if all of us here really started talking about and pushing him in conversations we have with people in every day life I'm very certain he could be elected as the next president assuming the economy doesn't destroy the govt. before that time frame. And assuming he's still alive then.

People like him have a tendency to die when they start to get into a substantial position of power, which is a little worrying to me.

I have to admit that I did not give Ron Paul enough credit during the primaries. I am now suffering from 20/20 hindsight. I focused my efforts on McCain. Unfortunately, I had flashbacks of a strong third party candidate like Ross Perot derailing the election for the Republicans.

Because he wasn't the chosen one that the media embraced because of his skin color and false promises

Ron Paul is the fiscal republicans apologist... nothing more. The man is not objective at all to his own biasness and I find it disturbing that he tends to only strike completely towards the "left regulated approach" when making an arguement regarding the current financial crises. If this had been a democratic presidency for the last 8years causing this crap to the great Union and some liberal comes up and says "well yea sure the economy messed during the ruling of our ideology, but the rightwing approach is this and that, so instead of finding solutions together, lets just continue to bash the right and do minor alterations that at the end of the day add up to nothing but the same problem" im pritty darn sure conservatives would be up and arms.

This internet hype about ron paul is beyond me... its almost as if there is a need to join and follow the hype.... lets not look at the issue from our own views, without any bias and with real political friendly solution, lets just listen to another partisan apologist who only seeks to cover the ass of his own political belief.

There needs to be regulation in some aspects of the market, and there needs to be co-operation from both sides... there must be a mix of freedom but also justice and protection in the financial sector. I only see denial from many fiscal conservatives here over the matter at hand.

The reason is because the voting system is not free or fair.

Its totally controlled, votes are faked, other votes thrown into the garbage, and in the end, the powers that be get THEIR man in NO MATTER WHAT

im sorry but the Dr is right about eliminating the FED, about pointless ineffective regulations etc

You think there should be regulations ?? Ya we all do, but Reality is not like that. This isnt a perfect world. Get out of fantasy land and realize that REGULATIONS dont Regulate Anything! Its a hollow threat with almost no enforcement at all.

In REALITY, all the government can do is REACT, because there is NO WAY to "make rules" and expect "Everyone to follow them all the time!"

its pure fantasy and Dr Paul is right

and you my friend, are clearly wrong

edit to add : Also Regulations are REDUNDANT because there is ALREADY laws on the books making fraud and theft illegal, so its overly redundant, a waste of $$$, and totally ineffective to impose "regulations"

[EDIT: THIS IS WRONG.. I DONT DISAGREE --- I THINK WE AGREE]
I have to disagree with you a little bit.

I'm not big fan of Ron Paul but I do know when he is talking that he is geniunue and he does know what he's talking about even if he does stammer. I hve never felt that he was phony and scripted.

Obama has two speaking modes

1 - Perfect oration of prepared text read from Teleprompter
2 - Stuttering fool who sounds incoherent and struggles to think what he's going to say and tries to cover it wiht "uhs"

Obama is the biggest fraud of a politician ever and Im embarrassed how many people fell for his demagoguery.

What’s really sad thing is that they will just pay lip service and not really pay attention to the meat and potatoes of what he is saying.

Ron’s high points
He nailed them regarding regulations.

1. " Your approach is completely wrong "
2. “Create money out of thin air.”
3. The Government should not create fraud
4. It’s a failed system

I won't stroke anyone's ego by saying Ron Paul should be president because there's more to being president than economics and he may or may not have the other skills required, but, I do think he should be part of the Presidents cabinet of advisors.
