Ron Paul was interviewed by Neil Cavuto on FOX News this morning regarding the G20 financial summit hosted by George W. Bush at the White House. I wish they discussed Bush’s sudden and recent championing of “free market capitalism”, but it was a bit more toward the standard Ron Paul rhetoric we have become used to.
He again says that these leaders don’t have a clue how to “fix” the economic calamity, and in fact, they can’t. He attacks the central bankers as the real movers and shakers in the cause of the mess saying they are meeting overseas, secretly, and we have no idea what they are doing since there is no transparency.
Ron Paul has released a new video discussing this weekend’s global economic summit with the G20 leaders. He expresses skepticism about the U.S. being able to maintain its economic independence against the push by Europe and China for a new reserve currency and more global centralized control.
George W. Bush is fighting against such centralized control, but how can we trust his words when they’ve been so far from reality in the last eight years? Ron Paul does not believe anything will be decided at this weekend’s summit, but believes it begins the discussion toward global economic planning.
Also of note is that Ron Paul will appear tomorrow around noon on the FOX News channel during a two hour special on the economic summit hosted by Neil Cavuto.
Ron Paul appeared on FOX News with Neil Cavuto today to discuss the latest bailout package: adding another $50 Billion of taxpayer money to the coffers of AIG. Ron Paul is like a beautifully welcomed broken record. A few choice quotes from this latest appearance from Dr. Paul are listed below along with the video.
“When companies get too big and make mistakes they should fail.”
“We’re propping up all the bad mistakes.” (which penalizes the people that made the right choices)
“Governments can’t make the correct decisions. They aren’t smart enough.”
“This whole idea that Washington are genuises… that they can do central economic planning. In this country we don’t call it socialism we call it interventionism and a planned economy.”
Obama coming in is a lot like “Hoover leaving and Roosevelt coming in.”
Ron Paul appeared on CNN American Morning again today. He was asked about the state of the Republican Party. Paul sarcastically acted shocked that he wasn’t invited to the secret meeting of “GOP elders” looking to move the Republican Party forward. As usual Ron Paul doesn’t disappoint.
Ron Paul appeared on CNN American Morning today and he continued his assault on the two party duopoly saying that neither candidate truly represents change. Check it out below.
Video has been released for the hour long debate between Bob Barr, Chuck Baldwin, and Ralph Nader that was held last Thursday afternoon at the City Club of Cleveland in Ohio. For those that have rejected the two major party candidates this is your chance to compare the next tier of candidates. Although for some of us, we consider these 3 candidates our first tier.
The debate explores issues that you haven’t heard much about from the two major party candidates. That is quite refreshing in and of itself. Grab your beverage of choice, sit back and watch the debate below.
Bob Barr did what I believe to be the best interview of the campaign thus far for Franklin Pierce University on October 21st. The interview was extremely substantive and revealed a few insights I’ve always been curious about such as Barr’s true position on opening up another investigation of 9/11 and how he ended up being tricked into doing that interview for the Borat movie.
The interview is typically amateurish as it is for the campus television station, but it is well worth your time. This is the interview that should be on NBC Nightly News or some other main stream media outlet. It’s probably too long for the soundbite culture those outlets live in though.
The interview is in three parts. Watch them below.
VIDEO Below. Last night on Saturday Night Live’s NBC special Will Ferrell came back as George Bush and Tina Fey joined him as Sarah Palin. This is probably the best SNL skit of the season thus far.
Will Ferrell reprises his impression of George Bush, which was one of the most famous in SNL history. In the bit, Bush endorses McCain-Palin with some of the best humor and satire I’ve seen in awhile on SNL… probably since Ferrell was one of the Saturday Night Live regulars. Watch the video below.
Humor, especially satire, is always the best escape from the futility of watching the markets tank and the country move further away from the principles of liberty.
