Ron Paul is the ONLY hope you dolts have got. He is honest, intelligent, capable, truly patriotic (not the phony patriotism of McCain or Hillary), a strict Constitutionalist, cognizant of what it takes to repair the badly damaged economy, understands the oppression of the IRS and the foolishness of foreign wars and entanglements, and is beholden to no one. If you are not smart enough to elect him to the Presidency because you have been deceived by all the lies masquerading about him (such as the lies of Metro on 1/03/2008), that truly will be all she wrote for the once-great America.

As much as I admire him for speaking the truth on this one occasion, Ron Paul is a dangerous loser.

He’s a racist, a NewWorldOrder conspiracy-head, and an economic fantasist. America would be making a serious mistake to put him into the White House.

Its been said before. Mr. Paul doesnt say what will make him look good. He sticks to his beliefs. Thats why people are flocking to him and I will vote for him.

obviously this outlet is biased

People know what is meant when one speaks about a politician pandering. The following are two dictionary examples:
pander to someone
to give someone what they want, although it may not be good or right for them. TV stations pander to viewers who don’t seem to get enough of sex and violence.
pander to something
to accept or support something bad in order to get an advantage. He is the worst sort of politician, who panders to fear to win votes.
Cambridge Dictionary of American Idioms © Cambridge University Press 2003

Inferring that we can or should deal with Castro is advocating a level of acceptance for something that is very bad. The Miami Cubans know that. Hence they justifiably booed Ron Paul. Parsing words won’t change the fact that Ron Paul made a big mistake in that debate!

Regards, The Old Prospector

I’ll say it again Prospector44: “Pander: to act as a pander; especially : to provide gratification for others’ desires”

Ron Paul has not changed his views for anyone. He has remained consistent in his reasoning. Thus, he did not pander to anyone. Again, you are completely wrong, Prospector44.

If you want to understand how the United States brought Castro, a known Communist, to power, I suggest your read the “Fourth Floor” by Earl Smith, the United States Ambassador in Cuba at the time. I’m sure Ron Paul has read this book. I listened to mainstream conservative radio for fifteen years, and received an enormous amount of disinformation that I relayed to friends and family. Garbage in garbage out. The same goes for the other mainstream news sources. When Americans understand the policies below the surface, such as UN Agenda 21, United States policy for over ten years, then maybe Americans can have constructive intelligent conversations, and start making a real difference in America. Otherwise it’s useful Democrat versus useful Republican on those propagated surface issues that are intended to scare and divide.

I saw a similar moment during the Values Voters debate where Ron informed Christian political activists that there’s been no Constitutional amendment outlawing drugs. Ron respects the truth, not polls and opinions - facts over focus-groups.

Listen, you can have a leader who will lie to you to get your vote. You can have a leader who will disguise what he/she actually believes to ensure the most people are fooled into supporting him/her. Or you can have Ron Paul.

Those of us supporting Ron Paul trust him with our lives because he has NEVER lied to us. He has ALWAYS followed the Constitution. He ALONE has upheld his oath of office his entire tenure. I TRUST him above all others.

Now, who do you trust with the codes to all of our nuclear arsenal?

If Ron Paul thought his remarks might strike a chord of nostalgia amongst the Miami Cubans, that notion was allayed in no uncertain terms. Indeed, Ron Paul wasn’t pandering to the Miami Cubans, as it turned out he was pandering to Castro himself. The rest of them were pandering to the Hispanic vote. In this case they are the lesser evils. Again, only Tancredo did what was right!

Ron Paul, is an unelectable nut, if He won there would be gridlock and a government shutdown. A Paul administration would be bad for America.

DR. StrangePaul is an unelectable nut, if He were to win gridlock and government shutdowns would happen. A Paul administration would be the worse thing for America.

“Pander: to act as a pander; especially : to provide gratification for others’ desires”

Ron Paul says what he has determined to be true. He did not change his views for anyone and he got booed for it. You could not be more wrong, Prospector44.

The panderers and political nematodes attended the Univision debate. Tancredo didn’t!
Regards, The Old Prospector

What a breath of fresh air to hear such wisdom coming from a presidential candidate. Leaders are always well ahead of pack, while the others follow. It is a shame that the rest of Capitol Hill did not listen to Ron Paul’s forsight in advising not to attack Irag. He voted no, while they voted yes. Great vision and forsight are important and rare qualities. When you combine that with wisdom and integrety, add a good amount of humility, pour in a ton of experience, then add the huge cajones, you have all the ingredients for a great leader. This country needs a President like Ron Paul in 2008 to lead us out of these troubled times. Don’t let yourself be fooled by the others, who try to explain away, or make lite of errors in judgement, and poor policy decisions. Do not reward candidates who consider hindsight a leadership quality.

My name says it all. My family is typically representative of the heartland the pundits talk about.

Thank you Dr. Paul for giving us hope.

Thank you Paultards/Paulheads/Paulites
for your love of this country

It makes sense that Dr. Paul would attend Univision. He always says we should communicate with everyone. Dr. Paul does not pander, he communicates truth at all times!

Now don’t get on the folks at the republican debate for booing Ron Paul. They were paid good money and did what they were told to do.

Yea, why do we want to talk to Castro anyway? We can’t nuke the place he’s to close to Florida. Basically, we already have a military base down there so skip another invasion. I guess Cuba just isn’t on the world war three list.

Dr. Paul says to trade with them? Horrors! We usually kill about 2 to 3% of any offending population before we can open trade with them…..do they grow a lot of drugs in Cuba? Maybe if they grow enough drugs to fit into the CIA financial prospectus we could work Cuba into the ‘occupation plan.’

Get this Ron Paul guy out of here! Trade with Cubans? We are far more efficient at killing people from other countries than trading with them. Besides the defense folks need targets and if we trade with them we won’t be able to launch any of our stuff at them.

Think of all the depleted uranium weaponry we could’ve used on Cuba?

No, definitely boo Ron Paul for peace with Cuba. “Castro took all of our stuff that we stole from the farmers the bas^%$d! Glad to see a generation in America hasn’t worn the old facists down..huh?

The block on Cuba is a shining example of Isolationist policy. It has done nothing to remove Castro from power and has hurt only the poor over there. How can we trade with China but not Cuba?

Ron Paul is right yet again. Just wish more of the media would cover him. Sadly though, he doesn’t have a checkered past and as such, they don’t have anything to talk about.

If we let the media keep shaping our choices, then soon enough the only ones “fit” for office will be serial killers…

? Was McCain snickering because
a) He considered Paul’s response insane because Paul didn’t pander
b) He secretly admires Paul’s “crazy” courage but would never speak out like that himself
c) He is senile and occasionally giggles to himself for no particular reason ?

Ron speaks his mind and does not falter in his beliefs. Thats why hes my choice for 2008.

Tancredo was the ONLY one who didn’t pander! Just being there was pandering.

Regards, The Old Prospector

Tom Tancredo didn’t go to the debate at all. He’s the one candidate with the strenght of conviction.
This is America! The language of our laws is English! If immigrants want to come here, they should strive to become Americans. That means LEARN TO SPEAK ENGLISH.
The Old Prospector speaks another language too, but The Old Prospector would not have the audacity to. . .

Cypress, I hope we are as successful as the people of Venezuela but if Giuliani wins, don’t blame me for fleeing to Montreal, or Paris, or Norway. I’ve done everything in my power to change things for the past seven years, to no avail.

RP is the best Republican candidate on that stage. But i’m voting for Kucinich. And if he weren’t running i’d probably just off myself.

I cannot live with the fact that my tax dollars fund torture. Seriously. That is beyond eff’d.

someonme told me that eggs, cajones and salsa are really good…

Thanks, Rolling Stone, for having the Cajones to print a Ron Paul article.

Ron Paul is the man for the job. An honest man, not a career politician.

John C. Randolph - Jones,Foster, Johnston & Stubbs

Summary: Village of Tequesta contract lawyer who handled the code enforcement lawsuit against Hattie Siegal. The 83 year widow was fined $1,000. for 5 years and charged $1.8 million dollars. She lost her home and properties she owned for planting water tolerant plants in her small yard.

RP understands economics a lot better than some making comments do. Now if I were a big business person I would want to disagree with RP because I would lose my grip on DC.

Ron Paul is right on target. He represents hope of a better tomorrow. He is the only one who can defeat the horde of neocon barbarians. A Ron Paul/Dennis kucinich or Ron Paul/Cynthia Mckinney ticket would be unstoppable.
He will be great not only for the USA but for the whole planet. If we allow the neocon barbarians to continue, we will go back to the stone age.

RON PAUL – THE OBJECT OF FEAR AND LOATHING

Is he that Libertarian Republican presidential candidate who was first totally ignored, then cruelly ridiculed, and now viciously attacked by the Neo-Con Republican and Neo-Lib Democrat media elite, who regard him with such extreme fear and loathing; that exceptionally sensible and uncompromisingly honest leader, who has again won the Republican YouTube debate by a landslide; that same Ron Paul, that the World is cheering onto presidential victory?

“William | 12/10/2007, 1:20 pm EST

We did not create the Castro’s and Chavez’s of the world. The Caudillo, or strong man, has been around since the time of the conquistador in Central and South America. The rise of dictators to power happens cyclically because the people forget easily.”

I suggest you read up on early American imperialism. We did more to rape our south american cousins than the europeans did by a long shot. Even ’sweet’ old guys like roosevelt got into the action by adding a corollary to the Monroe Doctrine to take control of parts of other sovereign governments. It is EXTREMELY well documented how many of the worst dictators of south america were created as a result of us wanting either shields from communism, or sympathetic leaders that could be bought to follow american interests. So William, you are simply wrong.

All the presidential candidates have cojones. Ron Paul is just the only contender who has his original ones.

The more this man is put down, the greater he grows. Please keep putting him down!

How can anyone who claims to be Cuban and loves the motherland morally support his embargo that is only starving our friends and family and doing nothing but making Castro stronger?
You anti-Paul people are pathetic.
Ron Paul just earned this Cubans vote!

Hi, my wife and I just took a couple turkey basters of mescalito to the poop-chute and are writing a tune for the next YouTube Debate called “Bomb, bomb, bomb Iran!” I just wanted to ask all you Ron Paul supporters out there, if you heard the Rumor that your man was created in a laboratory?

tim, thanks again for this. the snickering by mccain? hilarious! check out some of the earlier debates and you’ll get to hear rudy do it too. and ron paul ignores it rightly. i’m loving this. also, it turns out that people actually like being told the truth. kinda like a slap in the face, followed by a kiss.

I’m proud to say I plan to vote for him, barring any valid evidence to completely change my view of him. Kucinich might be my next choice, but otherwise I wouldn’t give my vote to any of those other candidates.

Ron Paul is a man of conviction and will speak truth, not platitudes. He has been studying economics since the 60’s.

The others like McCain are cowards and clowns who are classic politicians. You have to hand it to Ron Paul… He does have Cajones!

I wonder if the translation of what Ron Paul was saying about Cuba was mess up, that might be the reason he was booed. Maybe it was changed around some how…

I just checked out this issue. It appears that Ron Paul really is a
charlatan. Just for the record, I stand corrected. Ron Paul is a dope. He knows nothing of economics. He is a nincompoop with an axe to grind.

-jcr

Marie, it’s people like you who make politics exciting.

I love RON PAUL. He has my vote and
my donation. By the way, I know more people who will vote for RON PAUL than John “bomb,bomb,bomb Iran” McCain. Can’t wait till the news media gets hold of the news story of McCain’s wife stealing drugs from the charity she used to represent. She is a dope addict. Who will have the last laugh LOSER MCCAIN. Also, the media has kept quiet about McCain’s constituents in Arizona want to RECALL him. They say McCain “SOLD OUT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.” You don’t say John!!!!!!
RON PAUL WILL HAVE THE LAST LAUGH.

“Ron Paul is highly educated in economics, and the history of government interference in markets than any of his colleagues in the congress.”

“Paul’s whining tirade revealed a poor understanding of economic theory ”

What utter nonsense.

Ron Paul is highly educated in economics, and the history of government interference in markets than any of his colleagues in the congress.

Maybe you think you’re one of the people who benefits from inflation, but unless you’re a Wall Street insider, you’re sadly mistaken.

The main effect of the embargo is to provide Castro with an excuse for his dismal failure in buggering up the economy of Cuba. The fact is that Cuba can trade with every other country in the world, and there really aren’t many things for which the USA is the only source.

Ron Paul is right; the best thing we can do to topple the Castro regime is to have as much contact with Cuba as possible, and let the Cubans who still support Castro fully appreciate just how dismal a job he’s done.

-jcr

PKrott, get real. Ron Paul is just another pandering fruitcake. Catch his recent interrogation of Ben Bernanke? The response by the Ron Paul Rah-Rah section was predictable: “Whoa, Ron Paul schooled Bernanke!” etc. etc. If this performance wasn’t pandering, I don’t know what is. Totally lacking in any substance, Paul’s whining tirade revealed a poor understanding of economic theory and an all too familiar tendency to try to sound important and knowledgeable through a raised voice and self-indulgent repetitiveness. Are we supposed to believe that Paul has some viable alternative economic policy laid out to replace central banking and a fiat currency, or is this just a bunch of loudmouth rabble-rousing that creates a convenient illusion of leadership?

love him or hate him, the fact remains, HE DOES NOT PANDER. He maintains his stances, and his record is consistent.

I happen to think he’s the best thing since sliced bread, but thats just my opinion.

This one sent me over to Mr. Paul’s camp. The embargo has done NOTHING. Even when Fidel is gone his family and minions are there. Meanwhile we trade with Red China on a most favored nation basis. Ridiculous hypocrisy! Ron Paul is laughed at for this stance? Well he now has this Iowa vote!

Ron Paul maybe the first President or person in the USA in 30 something Years to have his own Box of Cuban Cigars Legal! Maybe we should send real Ron Paul Coinage in return! LOL
Being the Dollar is worthless unless you submit to our ways debt that is!

Well what do we have here then. A politician who stands up to a hostile crowd and tells them something they don’t want to here. Give me that piece of paper and let me sigh-up. I wasn’t a Paul supporter until I found out what he said last night. And you’re right - he has cajoles the size of beach balls.

Does anyone else think that John McCain looks like Glen Quagmire from “The Family Guy”?

Cuban embargo = colossal failure.

What exactly has been accomplished over these past years by punishing the citizens of Cuba??? A whole lot of nothing. An influx of American tourists and American dollars could have made a more positive change MUCH sooner than that damn embargo.

I have a framed copy of Rolling Stone November 9, 1967 VOL.I, No.I on my wall next to me as i write this. The cover is John Lennon in the movie “What did you do in the war, Daddy?” The irony as I look from the spirit of the magazine then to the one today is bitter and extreme.

Forty years ago we were engaged in an unjust war, but the spirit spreading through the country was fueled by the hope that fundamental change was possible, and the word “revolution” was used with excitement and optimism. And Rolling Stone was helping to carry the banner.

And now? Well, I suppose that since the magazine abandoned any pretense of challenging the establishment long ago, it’s time for a new medium to step in and pick up that banner. It’s called the internet, and it publishes itself. Welcome to the ashcan of history.

Cuba is one of the best places to visit. I wasn’t aware that American’s weren’t allowed to go there.

Ron Paul belives 9/11 was committed by terrorists. If you think he believes it was a conspiracy you need to stop drooling at the mouth and do some $%$#% research.

‘First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they attack you, then you win.’

Ron Paul stands his ground with correct principles. He doesn’t change just because a few people who do not know correct principle booed him. And John McCain should really show the public how he is by laughing away immaturely like a little kid with no respect.

Check Ron Paul for President!

I am constantly clenching my teeth to hold back my giggles whenever John McCain opens his mouth…what a bonehead.

Go Dr. Paul!!

I was watching the debate at a bar down the street from the University of Miami where it was held. Ron did not tailor his message to the crowd, but instead stuck to his guns and he was both cheered and booed for it at different times. This courage, unadorned with slickness or even rhetorical flair, is why he has earned the admiration of so many even when they disagree with him. After the debate, Ron dropped by the bar and used the karoake microphone to give his thoughts about the debate to constant cheers. I’ve never seen this kind of youthful energy in a political campaign.

Ron Paul never backs away from his message.

The man is pure integrity.

You ALWAYS know where you stand with Ron Paul.

Tom, don’t feed the trolls.

Rational | 12/10/2007, 9:58 am EST

Paul is a fool, and the internet is the only place his support appears to be substantial. Here are some real ‘truths’ for all of you basement dwellers:

1. Paul has zero chance. That’s good.

2. Voting ‘No’ is not policy.
3. 9/11 was not an inside job. Grow up.
4. Thank you for illuminating the fact that maybe the internet world is not as big of a factor for elections as it had seemed the past couple of years.
5. Enjoy your tinfoil hats.

You are a tool.

Nothing that you said is true. It is all just crap you heard in the news and you say we wear the tinfoil hats.

You have the sense of the chick from the View that thinks the earth is flat.
Stick your head back up your ass and hide until election day, then we will see who was right…

AS if Rolling Stone is the place to get your political news and commentary.

That’s what made ME laugh the most….

Ron Paul will be as great a President as Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln served only 1 term as a congressman before winning the Presidency. Paul has served 10 terms as a congressman. I think he will be 10 times as great as Lincoln.

He will have to be. Lincoln had one major issue, slavery. Paul has at least 10 major issues: national bankruptcy, overextended military, energy shortage, broken tax code, broken borders, crumbling infrastructure, sovereignty threat of North American Union schemers, restoration of civil liberties, an obese bureaucracy that has burst the limits of the Constituion, and failed foreign policy which has lost international good will.

I know he will have a lot of good help from We the People to pressure Congress and the Senate to solve these problems. Gridlock between two flocks of sheep butting heads over who gets to control the national pastures won’t be tolerated by the wild geese (see my earlier post on “wild geese vs. sheep”).

The nation survived thanks to Honest Abe, now We the People have a new leader, Honest Ron.

Definition of hypocrisy:

Last debate John McCain calls Dr. Paul an isolationist.

This debate John McCain defends isolating Cuba, while Dr. Paul says lets talk and trade w/ them.

John McCain has lost all credibility, it is a shame. He must be coming down w/ Alzheimers.

Ron Paul has and will always stand up for the Constitution Of The United States of America. He has my vote and support, listed below are the reasons why:

obeys the Constitution
will bring our military home now
smaller government
less taxes
balanced budget
illegal immigration issues

and so many other reasons, the list goes on.
Ron Paul will win, we the people will vote him in.

We STILL have an embargo on Cuba?

I thought embargos went away with sasparilla sodas.

Finally, a politician that doesn’t hide behind lies to make himself look good.
Power to the People!
RON PAUL

Ron Paul speaks the truth no matter how many people boo him. That’s why he’s so popular. People don’t respect politicians who are always only telling them what they want to hear. The American people want the truth for once!

Dr. Paul is dead on. The ‘pubs have been trying to catalyze a revolt against Castro for generations and have not suceeded in making a dent in his armor. With the absence of firearms I have a very hard time seeing the GOP’s mission suceeding.

If your running for president of the United States of America, and you choose to have a debate in Spanish,, then I don’t give a flying phuk what you said, your not talking to Americans, If you were, you’d be speaking English.
Let’s have the next debate in German, or Japanese, oh, I got it, let’s have the next debate in Arabic!!

> Does that mean McCain supports
> isolationism then?

No, it means he’s an idiot.

A puppet really can’t be an isolationist, that’s for the guy pulling the strings to decide.

We did not create the Castro’s and Chavez’s of the world. The Caudillo, or strong man, has been around since the time of the conquistador in Central and South America. The rise of dictators to power happens cyclically because the people forget easily.

“The look on John McCain’s face during a cut-away — clenching his jaw to fight back the giggles — was absolutely priceless.”

Thanks for showing us what immature morons both the writer and McCain are.

my roommate’s family is from Cuba. Castro went to high-school with his grandfather and they fled leaving their businesses behind. the problem with upholding sanctions and travel restrictions is that they validate Castro’s regime instead of working around it through individual trade. Moronic, despotic troublemakers become irrelevant when the people are in charge.

I am first generation Cuban American. No matter what the intentions of the embargo some 40 years ago, its effectiveness and failure as a policy have been solidified. Until an entire generation has died without returning to their homeland, maybe a younger and more democratic generation can support a different policy not blindly supported by pride and resentment.

I support Dr. Paul 100% on this issue, and on many more. It is amazing that a congressman from Texas and I share many of the same beliefs. Maybe it has something to do with the principles this country was founded upon, the liberty which was promised as an immigrant, powerful enough in meaning alone for my family to abandon everything we had.

Viva Ron Paul! Viva la rEVOLution!

Ron Paul rocks!!! He had me at “constitution”

Ron Paul is the only honorable man in Washington. Living in Miami and having nieces and nephews that are half Cuban it is a shame that they have not had the opportunity to see the country of there grandparents and visit with their relatives. Ron Paul is right. End a policy that has failed, and reunite the families that have suffered from this isolationist stand.

Let us in Paul! LET US IN!

I think what the Cubans don’t understand is that if all of the sudden commercial flights started landing in Cuba and hotels started going up and people started mingling between countries that it would become harder and harder for any regime to do bad things to their people. Right now it is a sheltered society and the govt can do anything it wants with total impunity. People need to start using their brains and realize that if the people of the world would mingle more and get to know each other better then we would all be more inclined to to force our governments to stop using us to kill each other. This is how Ron Paul thinks and why I will vote in the primary for the first time ever.

Truth in the face of ridicule. The sign of a brave man. And certainly one of few politicians who would dare not to pander. The truth is Cuba was a criminal hotbed before Castro. For those who can’t bother to read, watch Godfather II, that is more or less what Cuba was before Castro. Corruption and criminals, a haven for the decadent. Like it or not. Castro rose to power because of this, because he was fighting this exploitive system.When governement gets that bad, the people will accept any alternative. Personaly, knowing the corrupt system before Castro, I always wonder at those who fled from Castro, those who were wealthy before Castro, how much moral clout can they bring, considering what the pre-Castro elite were doing. And I can’t help but wonder how someone who believes 9/11 was an inside job can be against a candidate who is an outspoken opponent of such duplicity. That’s really irrational.

It’s sad irony that Ron Paul is excoriated for championing Constitutional concepts and axiomatic tenets of Jefferson and Madison. Dr. Paul is an iconoclast only because the others have sold out the Constitution. Balanced budget, non-intervention, smaller government, personal liberty, states’rights…have once again become radical ideas.

McCain is never *not* clenching his huge malformed jaws. McCain should have to sit in the corner and repeat “they will follow us home” 100 times.

Tell’em how the boar ate the cabbage Ron, don’t let them tell you it was a sheep and it was eating lettuce.

Ron Paul is transparent, honest and logical. As president, he will make a great ambassador with clear principles and a kind of impeccable style we haven’t seen for a long looooooong time.

Congressman Dr. Ron Paul is exactly right! We caused the instability in the countries in question, so why should we punish the people of those countries with embargo’s and sanctions? Only the people suffer with those methods - not the dictators. Ron Paul DOES have huge cajones - for speaking the unmitigated truth.

Ron Paul has our support!!!

Why doesn’t anyone mention the tremendous cheering to questions before and after this one question for Mr Paul?

Or the fact that Rudy was almost “booed out of the building” when he said he was better then Dr Paul when his turn came up?

Mi espousa es Cubana(Cuban wife) and this is a sticking point between us. She is completely opposed to lifting the sanctions against Cuba. Her father fled the country in the early 1960’s after his counter revolutionary force(32 men) were gunned down by Castro’s secret military police, he was the only survivor.

As someone who has first hand knowledge, these people will NEVER accept Ron Paul’s stance on this issue and it will be a deal breaker for their support. This is unfortunate because Ron Paul is absolutely right on this issue. Open up trade, normalize relations and the people of Cuba themselves will want to get rid of Castro. The more we sanction them the more we push them into Fidels arms.

As a Cuban-American Ron Paul supporter, one thing I can say is that no one can ever dare accuse him of pandering after that.
My grandfather came with his family (including my mother) soon after the revolution when he knew Castro was communist.
I have long supported the embargo on various levels, but I do have to at least give it to Dr. Paul, that the Embargo has been a failure. I’m not saying I support normalized relationships with communist Cuba, but clearly something should be done differently.
I think there is a difference between having communist dictatorships 90 miles off your coast vs half way around the world though, enough to perhaps justify military action. We spend a lot of money maintaining an infrastructure designed to deal with a continuous influx of refugees, which with our current policy, has no end in sight. Kennedy wouldn’t have been wrong to actually go for it with the Bay of Pigs invasion, for the same reason that we’ve been to Haiti twice in the last 20 years - stability in OUR region of the world by preventing situations that lead to mass numbers of refugees.

Ron Paul did the same thing at his google interview. He told a huge crowd of people who went to college with student loans, that it was imoral to steal money from people who could never afford to go to college so THEY could go to college.

Ron Paul has more integrity in his little finger than the whole bunch of the dems and repubs combined!

This is why Ron Paul rocks. He is the only candidate that can turn “Amerika” back into America!

RP has more balls, more heart, and more brains that all the others (in both parties) combined. I wouldn’t even consider voting for any of them.

Dr. Paul is amazing! Get the word out that we finally have a truthful politician who will save the USA! How can so many ignore history!? It favors truth and Ron Paul is man of TRUTH!

Paul is a fool, and the internet is the only place his support appears to be substantial. Here are some real ‘truths’ for all of you basement dwellers:

1. Paul has zero chance. That’s good.

What everyone above me said.

I’m voting in the primaries and my guess would be that he would actually get more than 70% of his supporters to turnout for them.

Telling the truth is always better then pandering to the uninformed.

Way to go Ron Paul!

The REAL isolationists:

McCain
Giul iani
Huckabee
Romney
Thomps on

The Guiliani-McCain foreign policy:

Bomb Iraq.
Bomb Iran.
Bomb North Korea.
Bomb Cuba.
Bomb Venezuela.
Bomb anybody else who disagrees with us.

Obviously, the citizens in those oppressed countries don’t realize the US had a hand in creating these dictators. If any booing should be done, it should be done against American foreign policy.

IT’S COJONES YOU INTELECUAL!!!!!

It’s COJONES, YOU ID
I’m from Argentina and had he been in any university in Latin America, he would cheered and applauded.
As far as Mc Cain goes, total lack of class and he wants to run for president.
Go Ron Paul, you are the Winston Churchill of the USA!!!!

Ron Paul is courageous for stating the truth.

He is also smart, the television audience goes well beyond the Cubans-Hate-Castro contigent that was in the room.

Cubans are actually a very small (but vocal) part of the larger Hispanic electorate and truth be told, most other Hispanic groups don’t like Cubans anyway.

Well you have to love a guy who speaks the truth and does not change his tune based on the crowd. I suppose the rest of the crowd has not considered recent history.

I think Paul is making history with this grass roots support. I also think it has jump started changes within the gop. For example our GOP meetings usually only have 30-40 who attend but since this past summer they have climbed to over 100 and most are Paul supporters. The Mitt and Rudy supporters of the room are always the ones who belittle Paul supporters even in a crowd filled with Paul supporters.

We are seeing changes!

Don’t laugh, just listen to Ron Paul. You’ll like what you here.
Show your support. Search ebay for Ron Paul t-shirts and wear them every where.
We know he’s the best, now convince the rest.
We need to get people outside of the internet interested.

Dr. Paul cured my hopelessness.

Ron Paul 2008! Let’s band together and get the message out there. Donate your time and money. Place Dr. Paul’s name on your car and in your yard. Talk about him at work and amongst friends and family. It is time for sleepy, apathetic America to WAKE UP!

Amazing. The sheer fact that the past 45 years of crap hasn’t worked. And these Cubans are still so bitter at Castro. You would think they would care more about visiting family over there then about getting their property back. I mean you have to be doing decently well to be at the debate. Why not try something new!

Ron Paul is correct on this issue. I have great respect for the man. He says what people like McCain dare not think. And for doing so, he deserves every American’s personal support in his candidacy for President.

I don’t see how the author is smearing Ron Paul.

If Ron alienates the benefactors of our ridiculous policies, then so be it. There are for more people who have had enough. rEVOLution!

I just watched the tape — it’s hilarious.

*Every single person in the United States who believes the current Cuba policy is a good idea was in that room.*

It was like watching the end of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Totally heroic.

Son grandes.
Son peludos.
Y Rudy no puede dejar que tocarlos.
- Cojones de mi Pablo

I noticed that they moved Ron Paul closer to the middle of the stage. He should be standing in the middle like the beacon of hope and integrity that he is. I have sat up and taken notice and if I have then a great many more like me have. viva Ron Paul!

Congrats to Rolling Stone for this border-line smear piece. Who does Ron Paul think he is for actually making sense? Way to go Rolling Stone! Way to put Ron Paul back in his place! Go McCain!!! Let’s start what the neo-cons (big government liberals) call World War IV

Normalize relations with Cuba???
Cam’t Ron Paul see the embargo is working? A little time is all it needs, its only been 40 something years, Cuba is about to crumble under the pressure.
Same with Iraq, give it a few more decades, all in good time…
Stay the course, red or blue, who cares…?
Or wake up and enjoy a little tea on December 16th.
Don’t let it be said you did nothing during these critical times.

The 2008 election isn’t about Democrat versus Republican.

It is really a contest between sheep and wild geese.

Both sheep and wild geese like to dine on green grass.

Sheep need a shepherd to guide them to green pastures. The shepherd controls his sheep so that he can either fleece them or make mutton stew. The sheep are chased around by the shepherd’s yapping border collies.

Wild geese can find the next green pasture on their own. The wild geese poop on the shepherd’s head and elude his collies as they take flight to fly in a V for victory formation with the Ron Paul blimp.

The cackling of the wild geese is rising in a deafening crescendo as they prepare to darken the skies and blot out the sun on the coming election days to vote for Ron Paul. They will manage this phenomenal feat without air traffic controllers (the FAA could learn a thing or two from these wild geese.)

They have a tried and true flight plan, the U.S. Constitution.

In the debate today, Ron Paul showed us he is the wildest of the wild geese. A few loud boo’s can’t knock him off course. He will be as great a President as Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln served only 1 term as a congressman before winning the Presidency. Paul has served 10 terms as a congressman. I think he will be 10 times as great as Lincoln.

simply amazing - the truth hurts

Go Ron Paul. Kick everyone else out. Whenever I read about what conservatism is, I think I’m conservative. And then I look at these nitwit fanatics who expand the government and pander to special interests and run up pork barrel and I think: I’d rather vote democrat. Ron Paul is the only republican worth voting for.

Ron Paul has co-authored a bill with Barney Frank for YEARS to lift the Cuban embargo, which only serves to fortify Castro’s grip on power. As such, the embargo fails to move toward its chief objective: to place pressure on Castro by increasing the suffering of ordinary Cubanos (at least those not receiving “los dolares de EE UU,” i.e., our own fiat money, from those living stateside).

Like so many other issues, those in a decision making capacity are letting the discrete voices of a few trump the ignorance of most and the real human toll on many. Yes, people are having a hard time in Cuba, but they are neither in the Castro regime nor have a supply of dollars at the ready.

“Truly his cajones are large and spendid!”
LMAO!
Amazing set he has got working for him indeed.

Legalize Ron Paul!!!!

Florida is full of Cubans and Cuban Americans. They have a vendetta against Castro. Their political influence in Florida is outrageous, and often down right criminal. No surprise they would boo. A handful of Cubans prevents ALL Americans from exercising their right to travel where they choose.

A candidate who is not afraid to stand his line in any environment.

Finally.

RP 2008.

Ron Paul has the guise of Jimmy Stewart, but the violent verity of Parsifal.

Huge cajones indeed. I call them “Truth Cajones”.

Ron Paul just makes sense. He’s honest and candid.

If you wanted to make friends and have a good, respected standing in the world, would you do it with a menacing glare or with an honest smile? We aren’t going to make friends with every country in the world, but it does us no good to be on bad terms with anyone. While you can’t likely be on good terms with everybody, it doesn’t mean you have to make enemies with them.

Did they boo him because they just did not understand what he said? I think so. Ron Paul should be our next president, no doubt! Everyone, do what you can!

RON PAUL!

Rep. Paul spoke truth tonight.

If having an embargo against Cuba has been so successful for the past 45 it really should work now….

The rest of the republicans have put their cards on the table and have lost the game. The only way for Rep. Paul to lose these arguments is for them to cheat.

The War on Drugs didn’t work. The War in Iraq didn’t work and the NIE Report confirms it.

Voting democrats into office didn’t stop the war or remove soldiers from the field of battle. Yet when the British troops leave Basra, the violence diminished 90%.

Republicans were supposed to reduce the size of government but under Bush, it increased 5.9% on average year after year, the largest increase in American history.

I know in some ways we are a nation of idiots, but like Albert Einstein said “Insanity is defined as doing the same thing, over and over expecting a different result”

Think its time to stop the insanity?

RP 2008

does he have huge cajones because he has huge cojones?

If you look at the polling numbers right now, they’re incredibly low across the board comparatively. Clinton is sitting in the 40% range in just about every poll, except for Iowa, where she’s down in the mid-20’s in some (not all). The Republicans, on the other hand, are swamped in the mid-low 20’s for the front runners, and the teens for the field. Giuliani is leading the field with an average of 24%, with the next challenger, Huckabee at 16%.

Here’s an analysis based on what someone put together at the Ron Paul forum…

Assume from the current polls per 100,000… And estimate a slightly higher than normal–but uniform–turnout. Turnout in 2000 was something like 8.1%, and in 2004 only 6.6%. I’m being generous with the 15%.

Candidate - percent likely voters * percent turnout * 100,000 = votes

Mitt Romney 33% * 15% * 100,000 = 4950
John McCain 18% * 15% * 100,000 = 2700
Rudy Giuliani 16% * 15% * 100,000 = 2400
Ron Paul 8% * 70% * 100,000 = 5600
Mike Huckabee 5% * 15% * 100,000 = 750
Fred Thompson 4% * 15% * 100,000 = 600
Tom Tancredo 1% * 15% * 100,000 = 150
Unsure 14% * 15% * 100,000 = 2100
Other 1% * 15% * 100,000 = 150

The end values are per 100,000 people, so remember to take those values and multiply by how ever many 100,000 people there are.

I have Ron Paul at 70% turnout. Maybe that’s a little high… But if you make it 40%, he’s still registering a strong second place finish… which is the point here. In this weak field, all Ron Paul has to do is CONTEND to justify fighting this thing out to the National Convention. (I would add that I believe RP’s polling numbers to be soft numbers, particularly in caucus states. Polling in caucus states has been notoriously dubious over the years because there’s no way to account for all of the field variables).

I’ll be suprised if any Republican garners more than 33% of the vote, leaving the door wide open for Paul to make the case to keep his campaign open.

I love this guy! Tell us what we need to know, not just what we want to hear. He got my lazy ass registered to vote in primary.

Ron Paul just speaks common sense. How is he not more popular? This is ridiculous. Too bad when he tells the truth regarding the history of U.S. policies, he is booed. Oh well, it’s still attention I guess.

I think the more people hear Ron Paul debate, the more they like him.

He’s a thinker.

Ron Paul has got to stop making common sense statements. Has anyone even thought about what a Ron Paul Presidency would do to hedge fund managers? Oil Companies? Blackwater? Halliburton? The military industrial complex would lose everything if we allowed peace in the world. For God sake, don’t make us use the Saudis again to terrify you people into giving up more of your wealth and civil rights.

Ron Paul - stop making the rest of the candidates look like blooming idiots! It’s downright un-American!

I’m surprised that a largely Hispanic audience would be critical of the desire to normalize relations with Cuba. The embargo has only divided families between those who can escape and those who can’t. The Castro brothers will only be around another 10 years at most, so why not start paving the way toward normalcy? We have a lot of baggage when it comes to Cuba, but it’s time for a fresh approach. We haven’t exactly convinced them to drop Communism, so why not try something new?

Ron Paul does not pander to ANY group. His consistently is impressive, for 30 years he has had the same views and stuck to his guns all the way. Let’s get rid of the IRS, get them troops outta Iraq, and get this country back in shape. Our country is sick right now but Dr. Paul has just the right remedy.

What is so wrong about talking to Cuba?

I love the booing. It grabs attention.

We humans are curious creatures and a politician speaking truth to a hostile crowd is a once in a lifetime thing.

People won’t forget this. It will be hard-wired into their brains.

They’ll remember the Good Doctor and give him another hearing.

The same crowd cheered loudly when he said we need to come out of Iraq and cease intervening in the affairs of other countries. So they are in effect saying, “we love non-intervention, but not in our backyard… Jack”
Beautiful!

That’s right Paul’s got big balls. If this country doesn’t wake up en mass and vote this TRUE leader into office then we’ll all be fleeing to central and south america looking for jobs and the proverbial shoe will be on the other foot.

Ron Paul is a master of trapping his opponents. Monday morning his legions will be all over the broken logic of McCain and the anti-Castro crowd.

I also noticed he got a large portion of applause for other views like NO national id card and keeping with the rule of law.

My grandmother is from Cuba. She came here on July 4, 1914 and had to stay on Ellis Island.

She agrees with Ron Paul on this issue. If we were to open up to castro, he’d be a different person. Why do we trade with China? They are communist. But they are rapidly becoming the most productive country in the world.

There’s just some logic that needs to be looked at.

And you know you want some of those fine Cubans, right?

Fritz, your wit is brilliant! I’d like to see McCain’s inconsistent positions juxtaposed in a youtube clip.

Does that mean McCain supports isolationism then?

Ron Paul hasn’t tailored his views to anyone in the past 30 years - why should anyone expect him to do so tonight?

He is the most consistent candidate running, basing all his views on the Constitution. It’s a shame that that’s looked down upon in our country today.

The ones that should be booed are the ones that do talk out of both sides of their mouth to please the crowd they’re talking to.

That’s not the type of person I want running our country. Ron Paul speaks the truth, even when it’s painful to hear.

I assume that was an anti-Chavez/Cuba crowd. I think most Hispanics would like to see open talks and less isolation. Ron Paul is a leader.

Ron Paul speaks the truth in a simple straight forward way.
Clearly the Cuban embargo, which has gone on for 40+ years, has not worked. Isn’t it time to try something new? Ron Paul has been called a lot of things but being a coward is not one of them, as you say the only ones who comes close to the “cajones” he has are in my opinion McCain and Kucinich, the rest are a bunch of pandering wimps telling people what they think they want to hear. How about for a change voting for the guys with “cajones”?

Ron Paul does not pander. He is in a class all by himself in this respect. McCain’s girlish snickering in the background provides a stark contrast to Paul’s mature approach.
