- dhayes501, on 12/20/2007, -16/+1072It funny how logic always makes people not using it look stupid.
"Why should I give him the money back to spread evil when I can use it for good?" seriously, how can you argue with that kind of logic? - blorc, on 12/20/2007, -9/+651Ron Paul's here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and he's all out of gum.
- malakite33, on 12/20/2007, -15/+485Wow, you gotta love the logic. It is so great to see idiots like Cavuto completely destroyed on national TV.
- diablo75, on 12/20/2007, -6/+433"I have warm and fuzzy positions." Dugg!
- ted_hosmann, on 12/20/2007, -8/+381Cavuto fumbled all over himself at the end - couldn't wait to wrap up that interview. LOL
- inactive, on 12/20/2007, -9/+372that was almost too easy...
- venir, on 12/20/2007, -7/+332I think the impressive part of this is how Paul is able to show how stupid the insinuations from Cavuto are and makes him backpedal at the end. Ron has a great way of taking these gotcha questions and turning them around to show how stupid and petty MSM really is.
- NoStoppingUs, on 12/20/2007, -6/+279i'm starting to like this guy. damn. he makes a lot of sense.
- Minarchian, on 12/20/2007, -20/+276From Paul..... To Cavuto:

Merry Christmas - mediaspree, on 12/20/2007, -8/+251Ron really hit that one out of the park.
- themastersb, on 12/20/2007, -12/+246I think Ron Paul is a pretty cool guy. He fights for freedom and isn't afraid of anything.
- Lordy1952, on 12/20/2007, -16/+229hilary clinton is warm???? LOL
ps.cold blooded bitch - irvin666, on 12/20/2007, -7/+204Rudy: "Look! I'm wearing a nice sweater vest, I MUST be a good guy!"
- airiox, on 12/20/2007, -5/+167LOL! That was classic. This combined with the Glenn Beck interview gets me even more excited for the prospects of his campaign and message.
- etherreal, on 12/20/2007, -21/+173Ron, I want to french kiss you now.
- TheRealDj, on 12/20/2007, -8/+159If we weren't both men....well you know...
-Glen Beck - inactive, on 12/20/2007, -7/+143Listen to what everyone else says, then listen to what Ron Paul says, come to your own educated conclusions before you cast your vote.
- wishninja, on 12/20/2007, -14/+150Everyone in the media is running with shamefully desprate smear of Ron Paul. Trying to paint him as a raciest. The liberals are getting Nader syndrome over Paul.
- NightVortez, on 12/20/2007, -5/+137I love how they are trying to start drama with Paul now, first the Cross ad question and now the Christmas ad, then when that doesn't work attack him based on one supporter.
Just an fyi he has a Christmas ad out as well..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZPCWGtIupE& - itseffinkasey, on 12/20/2007, -4/+130Man what an idiot... after Ron Paul said all that stuff that Neil guy still didn't get it. Ron Paul was dead on with what he said about the special interest groups which to me is one of the biggest problems with our political system right now. I don't think that guy even listened to what Ron Paul was saying.
- retro, on 12/20/2007, -5/+128He's brilliant. I wish I was American so I could vote for this guy. He truly seems like an honest, down to earth and smart candidate.
- latrosicarius, on 12/20/2007, -1/+123Why does Neil keep asking Paul if he likes christmas adds? Who the hell cares? He asks this question like 5 times in a row.
- ricksite, on 12/20/2007, -5/+109Ron Paul not "warm and fuzzy"? He used to deliver babies. That seems pretty warm and fuzzy to me.
- UncleCrapper, on 12/20/2007, -12/+114I think that Cavuto was actually remarkably balanced and deferential in his interview. The "$500 dollar" question stuck out like a sore thumb, though. I think Fox News is beginning to take Ron Paul seriously, but I could be imagining things.
- esfisher, on 12/20/2007, -0/+96"This sweater vest was given to me by families of the victims of 9/11..."
- FTLJohnson, on 12/20/2007, -9/+1021. Repealing Affirmative Action makes him against EQUAL rights? I like how the above comments point out that that logic makes people look really stupid that don't use it. http://www.isil.org/resources/lit/affirm-action.ht ...
2. Ron Paul believes that issues and powers that are not SPECIFICALLY endowed to the Government by the constitution CANNOT be usurpsed without amendment, and that certain issues, like abortion, are STATES RIGHTS matters. Most of the country agrees with him on that. While I don't agree with him personally on that matter, as I am pro-choice, It is pretty clear he has AMPLE personal experience with this issue. He has been a doctor delivering babies for longer than I have been on the planet. I hate the idea that abortion could be made illegal again anywhere, but if certain religious parts of the country are backward enough to vote to outlaw abortion, it will be the problem of the voters in those states to figure it out. They NEED to have the right to determine their own fate. The most populous states, and and anywhere else that were blue states will be fine, and the women in those states will still have the right to leave. It's more complicated than that, of course, but as Jefferson said, "timid men fear the tempestuous sea of liberty"
3. So, somehow giving everyone back 15% of their income from social security, and then getting rid of the IRS entirely would be disastrous for the middle class? You must have gone to public school when you took your history classes. Somebody likes the "new deal" a little much.

4. As President, he wants to ELIMINATE the IRS entirely. That is not an unfair tax structure, that's what's called an abrogation of the initiation of force against peaceful people.

5. Property Ownership and accountability are the ONLY ways the evironment is going to get fixed. This poster wants people to rely on the US Government to enforce and protect the environment - how does that make sense, when the USG is the largest polluter?

6. A Ron Paul presidency would end foreign interventionism. As far as the U.N. is concerned... that's really simple to answer... www.unisevil.com

7. More smoke an mirrors, Ron Paul has supported numerous bills to eliminate funding for things, and votes NO to fund anything not in the constitution, you are not only cherry-picking but lying, and liikely merely quoting some website anyway. While Ron Paul has stated that he is religious, his primary allegiance is to getting government OUT of people's lives. Your very position on this indicates that somehow Ron Paul would use force to prevent gay couples from getting married and support legislation to that end like current politicians do, that is blatantly misleading as Paul is pro-freedom and pro-states rights.
8. The right to bear arms is for citiizens to use to defend against not only criminals, but their government. The founding fathers made this VERY clear in their letters during the debates on the consitution. I highly reccommend reading them, although it is higher level English and difficult logical concepts, so you may have difficulty, but you can get them from www.libraryofamerica.com

9. Hopefully Ron Paul would ELIMINATE the AWFUL and reprehensible public education system ENTIRELY. Since it's introduction by Horace Mann Bond in the 1850's when over 80% of the Massachusetts population resisted it, often by violence - and the final school to give in only did so because the student were MARCHED under armed guard to school daily... SINCE that introduction, the literacy rate has never again been as high as it was BEFORE public schools were around. Look it up. International Standardized testing by PISA shows that America has fallen to being below TWENTY FIFTH in it's quality of education on the global stage. Plainly put - Americans are STUPID comparatively. I am one, and if you are... you should look around you. It's also MORALLY reprehensible to STEAL MONEY from people to FORCE them to support a service they NEVER USE. More and more people are choosing to not have children, why should they have to pay so that the DOE can pay 90,000 a year salaries to100's of teachers that have engaged in sexual misconduct with children, and that no longer DO ANYTHING but cannot be fired becuase of union rules and so have to be sent to "rubber rooms"? Don't even get me started on IEP's... fire up google.. and EDUCATE YOURSELF - you certainly didn't learn about this in SCHOOL.

10. This clinches your idiocy.. "he is trying to force his views". EVERYTHING about Ron Paul is about an end to the use of force. It's THE PRIMARY Libertarian Principle. Ron Paul can't force religious education in public schools while being very public about the fact that he wants to END the DOE. That would increase choice DUMMY. You could have entirely atheist schools. (I would want my child to learn the divine truth that our universe was in fact intelligently designed by his noodly magesty.... YARRRRRRR!)
You sir, have been duped into being a SLAVE. You will always BE a slave. You have been indoctrinated with the entitlement mentality and the idea of taking responsibility for your actions, and allowing a system to come into power where people will actually be held accountable for theirs - TERRIFIES YOU. I despise your ideals of using violence and force on others to get your way... I hope that what causes you to be this way is your ignorance, and not your total lack of any sense of a moral compass. - crazyman, on 12/20/2007, -4/+86The news anchor's eyes moving down for half a second in defeat made that video for me.
- spyd3rweb, on 12/20/2007, -7/+80Cavuto ties Bill O'reilly and Sean Hannity for Fox's biggest douche bag.
- minoss, on 12/20/2007, -2/+71Yea, it was amazing. You could just tell by his head position and volume that he just wanted that to end.
- dafragsta, on 12/20/2007, -8/+76I think the song goes...
"The devil bowed his head because he knew that he'd been beat" - CrimsonBlur, on 12/20/2007, -8/+75Actually, the interesting thing about this interview is that Cavuto backs up Ron Paul's answers. I don't watch Fox News, so I don't know this Cavuto guy, but he really didn't seem to be trying to smear Ron Paul at all in the interview, despite the initial silly question. Even the first question wasn't that bad, he obviously knew Paul would point out the ridiculousness of those stupid advertisements.
It seemed to me that Fox News fed this guy some controversial issue to bring up, so he did, but he totally agreed with Paul's response. He ended the interview by saying "well it's hard to keep track of a donation of $500 out of so many donations...", he was agreeing with him.
Ron Paul made some excellent points in the interview but saying "Ron Paul Owns Neil Cavuto" doesn't really make any sense. It almost seemed like Cavuto was trying to promote Ron Paul, he was definitely not trying to bash him. - ZxEfR, on 12/20/2007, -2/+66Yeah okay Glenn........
- n8glenn, on 12/20/2007, -3/+65I don't have time to read all that but I'll tell you this, Ron Paul believes that all people are equal and doesn't think that we get our rights as members of groups, but as members of the human race. You know who else opposes affirmative action? James Merideth, the first black man to graduate from Ole Miss. Affirmative action attempts to enforce racial fairness through coersion and hurts minorities more than it helps because people resent affirmative action and other racially preferential legislation, besides, minorities don't need our patronage, they can compete on an equal playing field just fine. Ron Paul is a truly principled man who believes in freedom and understands freedom much better than most everybody else in this country these days. He opposes social programs because he understands that the government is simply redistributing wealth through coersion and that it is not helping but actually causing more economic hardship in the process. In socialist countries, people lose the incentive to work and strive for greatness because their property is simply confiscated by the government, is that the kind of society that you want to live in? We can't create utopia by taking money from those who work and giving it to those who don't. Why is it that no one understands this, even after the spectacular failure of the soviet union?
- lendrick, on 12/20/2007, -5/+67He deserves a lot of credit for running on a solid platform and saying "here are my positions", rather than pandering. I will not be voting for him, because I disagree with many of his positions. But, at least he tells me what they are so I can make an informed decision. Gotta respect a guy for that. :)
- TenebrousX, on 12/20/2007, -1/+62I'm looking for some neocon toilet to park my bricks. Whos first?
- Matt2k, on 12/20/2007, -8/+66It's copy & pasted in every Paul thread. It would be worth your time to read up on them and discover why they stretch the truth. You can basically take every item from that list and demonstrate that he isn't really against those things so much as he is against the _federal_ government butting in. The states should serve that purpose. He favors a greatly weakened federal government with states acting more directly to create public policy, and a drastically more isolationist approach to foreign policy.
- sephy444, on 12/20/2007, -4/+62This just in:
www.rwned.com - V3n0M, on 12/20/2007, -3/+58He'll be on Meet the Press this Sunday! http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3032608?ronpaul
- NightVortez, on 12/20/2007, -4/+54To what? Brittney Spears? He's running for office of course he's going to talk about the subjects surrounding it.
- nigh7dagger, on 12/20/2007, -10/+60How did you read his post if you blocked him?
- jcani, on 12/20/2007, -3/+52Hahaha, that was great. Ron Paul is stone cold. He shot Cavuto d-d-down.
- TheSkunkMonkey, on 12/20/2007, -5/+53Spanked! Neil kept lobbing the nasty at Dr. Paul and he kept knockin' 'em out of the park! Pissin over a $500 donation? HA!
http://www.stupidprize.com/?name=Neil+Cavuto - omgTHEPATRIOTS, on 12/20/2007, -5/+50Neil Cavuto is an asshat
- Turbosc, on 12/20/2007, -6/+51He thought he had Dr. Paul, but Ron saved all the momentum and delivered a swift kick to the testicles. This made my day.
- theghoul, on 12/20/2007, -3/+48Nice smackdown!
Is this guy what America needs or what. - alexkriegsmann, on 12/20/2007, -5/+48man he got intense towards the end!
- Shananra, on 12/20/2007, -1/+43"The fact that the families were not aware that I pulled it from the corpse of one of the victims notwithstanding"
- ZxEfR, on 12/20/2007, -6/+48Pure Gold..........
- marsvenus, on 12/20/2007, -2/+42cavuto's visage is reminiscent of eddie munster
- MrSpookyPants, on 12/20/2007, -4/+44Yes, he wants to overturn Roe Vs Wade and give the power to decide the legality of abortion back to the states, regardless of his personal position. I wish all you Ron Paul naysayers out there would actually take the time to think about what Ron is saying rather than automatically spewing out your party line rhetoric. Make a decision for yourselves, not blindly follow whatever your party tells you to think.
