This Sunday on "Meet the Press"

I thought Paul did an amazing job. He addressed the so called "hypocrisy" of earmarks by explaining that he's just tyring to return money that Washington never should have taken to begin with... he even referred to Washington's taking it as "theft"! Go, Paul, go!

 

Tim Russert's Hit Job on Ron Paul

I am proud of Ron Paul for taking that in such a good-natured way. That episode of Meet The Press was nothing but a hit job. An attempt by big media, and no doubt both political parties, to bring down the liberty candidate. Some of Russert's questions were really good examples of digging deep. A perfect example of that was Russert's lame attempt to suggest that supporting an amendment to the constitution is not being a strict constructionist. How silly! I suppose Russert is not aware of the historical fact that our founders applied the first amendments to the constitution. Were they not strict constructionists? Also, will Russert quiz Obama, Hillary, or Rudy on their intent to run in a third party if they do not win their party's nomination? That little quiz was the dead give away that Russert's interview was nothing but a hit job. I lost a lot of respect for Russert in that interview.

 

What struck me as odd was the complete lack of personal chatting that usually goes on at the first couple of minutes on shows of this kind. Russert basically said, "Hi, now explain 'x'!"

 

This was a great interview and it certainly allowed Ron Paul to respond to some of the negativism about why he does things the way he does. Was very dissapointed in Russert for not letting Ron Paul to respond to some questions.

Absolutely agreee with that statement. Ron Paul listed who the fascist bad guys are...the media....big corporations and the Military complex.
I am more compelled more than ever to stand behind Ron Paul.

 

I found it interesting that most of the items russett kept wanting to bring up was from 20 years ago.

Can't he find any quotes from Ron Paul more recent that he could ask questions about?!?

I think Ron Paul did an excellent job. He lost nothing in this interview and gained greatly I think. Time will tell..

Thanks for posting this. I think this is one of his most interesting interviews to date.

 

Paul's message is for us to abandon any type of leadership or peacemaking in the Middle East as well as abandon our alliance with Israel.

Then all the muslim terrorists will love us and stop trying to kill us.

 

Is this true Ken?

If Paul wants to abandon Israel, this goes against God's Word and I must x him off my list.

God Bless! :thumbs:

 

Gen 12:3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

You better rethink just Who it is that keeps the national security of these United States!

I don't know what premillennialist has to do with it, but we better continue to bless Israel. Not blessing them DOES go against God's will.

I must x Paul from my list. He is either ignorant of God's word or does not care about it.

God Bless! :thumbs:

 

Better vote for Paul despite that than cast a vote for abortionist A Giulilani or abortionist B Romney.

 

Well, I have never had much respect for Russert to begin with.

I watched the interview and was very impressed with Ron Paul straightforward answers to Russert's attempt to discredit him.

I believe that someone in Russert's position should ask honest questions and then allow the person being interviewed to answer. Russert, and those like him, appear to only being interested in causing a person to trip up or to catch them in a lie. I don't like Russet's tactics at all.

 

Paul doesn't want to abandon Israel, he wants to stop giving them, and every other country a blank check from the U.S. taxpayers every year. He want's us to stop telling Israel what to and not to do when it comes to defending themselves. There have been many times that Israel wanted to defend themselves, but the Bush administration told them to restraing. Paul's argument is that giving handouts to other nations only makes them dependent on the U.S., just like the welfare system does to individuals here in the US.
