Reports that Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul stormed out of a CNN interview earlier this week seem to be dramatically over-exaggerated. Raw footage of the Thursday interview shows that it lasted nearly ten minutes, which is not unusually brief on the campaign trail.
After discussing foreign policy, the payroll tax, negative advertisements, and super fund PACs, the interview concluded with three whole minutes of discussion on the issue of the incendiary racist and homophobic letters that were published in Mr Paul's name in the Eighties and Nineties.
Initial news reports made it seem that Mr Paul recited his one line response- that he didn't write the letters, that he didn't read them until about a decade after they were published, and that he disavows them- and stormed off, tossing away his microphone and charging out.
The newly-released CNN footage shows something entirely different. After fielding repeated questions about the controversial newsletters, Mr Paul began wrapping up the interview.
We have to wait for the British press to give us the real news about our country...
After fielding repeated questions about the controversial newsletters, Mr Paul began wrapping up the interview.
Answering a question Paul seemed to want to avoid:
A tax document from June 1993wrapping up the year in which the Political Report had published the "welfare checks" comment on the L.A. riotsreported an annual income of $940,000 for Ron Paul & Associates, listing four employees in Texas (Paul's family and Rockwell) and seven more employees around the country. If Paul didn't know who was writing his newsletters, he knew they were a crucial source of income and a successful tool for building his fundraising base for a political comeback.
Economics is a social phenomenon and in no way a science, no matter how desperately its high priests would like to have it believed otherwise. It is, instead, a branch of anthropology and the sooner that is recognized and accepted, the better off human-kind in general and the world of academic economics, in particular, shall be proximity1
We probably will see widespread civil disorder in the 1980s, as a direct result of our faltering economic system. Ron Paul

He stated he was running a medical practice, "I have to make a living."
And $940K is NOT a lot of money- not when you have to pay Lew Rockwell (who probably didn't come cheap, as he's very good at what he does), and seven other employees, plus costs of publishing and distribution...
The bottom line is really simple: you've got nothing to attack him on, so you losers are getting desperate.
Contemplate the mangled bodies of your countrymen, and then say 'what should be the reward of such sacrifices?' Bid us and our posterity bow the knee, supplicate the friendship and plough, and sow, and reap, to glut the avarice of the men who have let loose on us the dogs of war to riot in our blood and hunt us from the face of the earth? If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen! -- Samuel Adams --
That bottom-feeder "Borger" was so obvious, it's amazing that skank can look at herself in the mirror...
But that's ok... Despite all the smears and attacks by both the MSM and the leftist whores, Paul actually polls better with minorities than any other GOP candidate, by a LONG way....
So all this crap does is make it ever more clear, that the MSM is bought and paid for, by the same people that bought and paid for all of the "electable" politicians. And as the public wakes up to the fact that they've been lied to all this time, it makes Paul more powerful, and all the elitist weapons weaker...

In 1993 median income was a little more than $31,000.
Judging by the above image, the newsletter was not a high end piece, production costs couldn't have amounted to much, and of course postage for nonprofit mailing is at reduced rates.
$940K income for Ron Paul's newsletter in 1993 is, indeed, pretty darn good particularly when you take into account it was just a sideline for him.
If Paul doesn't know what's going on in an organization with just eleven employees, how could he possibly handle life in the oval office?
The bottom line is really simple: you've got nothing to attack him on, so you losers are getting desperate.

They worship at the altar of that elusive and never actually documented, ideological descendant of the original Biblical money changers..."The Free Market".
Ron Paul represents to them the all powerful god who will magically transform the economy, with a few strokes of his pen, into the wheeling dealing ideals practiced on your average prison yard.

Yep, this is what the simpleton left doesn't understand -- revenue versus earnings. If he was paying 8 people, most of that $940K was eaten up in salaries, benefits, payroll taxes, workers compensation taxes, unemployment insurance, etc.
I'm so tired of these no-nothing numskulls, who have never taken an accounting class, blathering on about business. They have no qualifications, no grounding, no frame of reference to do so.

So it's another one of those entities that affects all of us but only the inner circle, who BTW also make the rules, are entitled to have an opinion?

LOL!
I love the way you two constantly snipe and jab at others, then you just can't imagine why you get treated like you do. And it's always the other guys fault, not yours. Perpetual victims of an unfair system, dominated by those who hold a fraction of your intelligence.

Irony, in its purest form.
So then, you should be able to tell the listeners here where that elusive free market is located. But you must first supply an agreed upon definition.

Come on....... the definition and a location of just one "free market".... it should be on the tip of your tongue.
Ron Paul's always talking about them. Hopefully he knows of a successful example.

Seven plus four equal eight?
Ron Paul & Associates, listing four employees in Texas (Paul's family and Rockwell) and seven more employees around the country.
Or perhaps you are not counting Paul's employee family members or maybe 1+3=1 in your world?

Why does your line of interrogation have absolutely nothing to do with my post to you?
I addressed your constant sniping and taunting of others, and you ignore it and attempt to change the perimeters of the discussion.

Do you believe that I am Ron Paul?
And I made a statement about free markets that you used as your example. Surely you can set the world straight here if my statement has no merit.

There are things I like about him too; magical thinking just doesn't do it for me in my old age.

I would then argue that your 'statement about free markets' was more of an insult about other posters and THAT was what I addressed in my post to you and Lucysmom.

I wasn't addressing your comments about Free Markets, I was addressing your constant snipes and jabs "at others, then you just can't imagine why you get treated like you do.
It's all in the thread above. Perhaps if you read our exchange again?
Have you noticed that certain people get a free sniping/taunting pass from We The People?
Is that true?
The reactions that I see you two get, are just that for the most part. Reactions of other posters. I don't see other posters bringing you up in conversations between themselves, but I see you two doing it with other posters constantly.
If I'm wrong, show me how and I'll be the first to concede.
Believe this or not, but it's the truth...I'm trying to help. I'd like to see this forum rise above the typical LP/yukon style of posting.
I realize it would be the first forum to do so if successful, but a guy can dream, can't he?
Have you noticed that certain people get a free sniping/taunting pass from We The People?
I guess certain taunters are more equal than others.
I would just like certain issues clarified by those who seem to support candidates that expound on them constantly.
Is it too much to ask a poster who constantly posts articles in favor of Ron Paul if he happens to have an inkling of what RP may believe on important issues?

No, it's not. Actually, under other circumstances, I'd welcome it.
You want to have a conversation about topics that interest you? Great. You want to have an adversarial exchange, ask baited questions and look for that opening or "gotcha" moment in a childish attempt to prove your intelligence and my stupidity? LOL, I'm not interested.
Conversations are two sided and based on mutual respect. An exchange of ideas and ideals, if you will, and without the aspect of respect, a conversation is an argument.
If you ignore what I say or points that I make, I'm not inclined to move on and answer your questions. Now, do you want to address my comments about your constant sniping and jabs, then move on to a different conversation?
Great! Let's start on equal footing first, and you can tell me who, if anyone, you support in the upcoming presidential election. Fair?
Maybe I haven't made up my mind yet. Not everyone on these boards is a partisan hack.

Loonymom and dingaling are two peas in a pod. In short, they just can't help themselves...
They have no moral center, thus thinking that *everything* is partisan politics. They simply can't accept the fact that both partisan sides are the same...
So they devolve into what's familiar to them, the Kabuki theater that both the GOP and DNC really are and mouth the same old platitudes...
You'll *never* get a real conversation, much less serious consideration of reality from them...
They're hopelessly brainwashed, and simply beyond redemption. Unfortunately for them, this means they'll suffer the worst, due to their willful ignorance.
Pity.

Why don't you just stay with discussing Ron Paul's views on the issues? That way you don't have to fall into your own admittedly biased traps.
Maybe you can suggest to his people that defining and showing a thriving example of a free market might go along way to showing that he's just not another politician that requires faith in imaginary figments from his supporters.

I'm not sure if you've noticed this or not, but I rarely discuss Ron Paul's views, anywhere. Everyone knows Ron Paul's views already and nowhere in this thread have I discussed Ron Paul's views. As a general rule, I discuss my own views.
On this thread I have discussed my own views on your constant jabs and insults at other posters. Unfortunately, exactly like Gatlin with his plagiarism, you don't seem to want to discuss that issue and continue to ignore it.

Indeed.
But the idiots think that because they can flap their lips and make words, that the words have merit. Yet, when the words are based on nothing but supposition, hot air and dull ignorance, they have no merit.
In short, they don't know how much they don't know... And that, my friend, is a very dangerous thing.

Not too bright, are you?
From the quote: "Ron Paul & Associates, listing four employees in Texas (Paul's family and Rockwell) and seven more employees around the country."
Ignoring Ron Paul and his wife... and the un-named, unspecified third person, there is only Lew Rockwell and the seven other employees who were "around the country." Since Rockwell is not some #OWS loser, and they had seven other employees working on their behalf, it can easily be inferred that they were indeed legit employees.
Seven other employees, plus Lew Rockwell, makes... (((VOILA!))) ...EIGHT.
Maybe I should put this in more simple terms, so you'll grasp what I'm saying:
7 + 1 = 8.
Am I going too fast for you?
