I just wrote an in-depth article on my blog about Paul being blacked out, with times and breakdowns.
It was absolutely unacceptable.
Let’s keep getting the word out.

US aid to Pakistan is a curse for Pakistan. Stop all the aid and bring all the troops home and let Pakistanis figure out their problems. They will figure out a solution sooner but not until all american troops are out of Afghanistan. Just imagine 35000 Pakistani lives have been lost due this imposed war on terror. Ron Paul is the only sane voice in US politics and his policies will make the world and US a lot safer. Alas, there is no hope, the main stream media of the so called champions of democracy is so biased that it won’t allow some sane voices reach the public. But glad to see such enthusiasm for RP’s campaign. He is a true American Hero.

Amazing they forgot to mention in this article the one guy who made a great statement about waterboarding during the debate.

RON PAUL WIKI EXCERPT::
He has also called for the removal of all taxes on gold transactions.[117]
He has repeatedly introduced the Federal Reserve Board Abolition Act since 1999,[118] to enable “America to return to the type of monetary system envisioned by our Nation’s founders: one where the value of money is consistent because it is
tied to a commodity such as gold”;
it has received virtually no mainstream news coverage.[119]
He opposes dependency on paper
fiat money, but also says that there “were some shortcomings of the gold standard of the 19th century … because it was a fixed price and caused confusion.”
He argues that hard money,
such as backed by gold or silver,
would prevent
inflation,
but adds,
“I wouldn’t exactly go back on the gold standard but I would legalize the constitution where gold and silver should and could be legal tender, which would restrain the Federal Government from spending and then turning that over to the Federal Reserve and letting the Federal Reserve print the money.”[120]
Paul strongly supports legalization of parallel currencies,
such as gold-backed notes issued from private markets and digital gold currencies.[121]
He would like
gold-backed notes (or other types of hard money)
and
digital
gold
currencies[122] to compete on a level playing field with Federal Reserve Notes, allowing individuals a choice whether to use sound money or to continue using fiat money.[123][124][125]
Paul believes this would restrain inflation, limit government spending, and eventually eliminate the ability of the Federal Reserve to “tax” Americans through inflation (i.e., by reducing the purchasing power of the currency they are holding), which he sees as “the most insidious of all taxes”.[126]
He suggests that current efforts to sustain dollar hegemony, especially since collapse of the Bretton Woods system following the United States’ suspension of the dollar’s conversion to gold in 1971, exacerbate a rationale for war. Consequently, when petroleum producing nations like Iraq, Iran, or Venezuela elect to trade in Petroeuro {{{{{BOURSE}??????}}}
instead of Petrodollar, it devalues an already overly inflated dollar, further eroding its supremacy as a global currency.
According to Paul, along with vested American interests in oil and plans to “remake the Middle East”, this scenario has proven a contributing factor for the war against Iraq and diplomatic tensions with Iran.[127][128]
{{{{PLEASE SEE ANOTHER THEORY http://www.energybulletin.net/node/7707
“Concerning Iran, recent articles have revealed active Pentagon planning for operations against its suspected nuclear facilities. While the publicly stated reasons for any such overt action will be premised as a consequence of Iran’s nuclear ambitions, there are again unspoken macroeconomic drivers underlying the second stage of petrodollar warfare – Iran’s upcoming oil bourse. (The word bourse refers to a stock exchange for securities trading, and is derived from the French stock exchange in Paris, the Federation Internationale des Bourses de Valeurs.) ”
Back to WIKI Article:
He has committed himself for over 30 years to educating Americans in libertarian economic principles, such as eliminating the Federal Reserve Board,[129] a private-public banking entity that Paul says has a centralized monopoly control over our money and threatens to impoverish the population through devaluation of the dollar.[130] Paul has many times confronted Congress with a bill to audit the Federal Reserve Board,[131] which Congress has repeatedly turned down.

Sadly, money will probably determine our next President. The fat-cats aren’t going to allow Ron Paul any slack. I have, myself, contributed a few hundred $$$ to RP’s campaign but we all know that’s just a drop in the bucket, even if thousands of us do the same. Someone mentioned Ross Perot spent lots of money to buy time on TV because the MSM was using the same tactics to keep him out of view, but, as I recall, he was a billionaire wasn’t he?? Guess what we need is a few millionaires or billionaires to back Ron Paul’s candidacy…..problem is most of them are probably corrupt.

@diannaeco Maybe someone from Ron Paul’s campaign could call Russ Perot and see if he would like to make a financial contribution preferrably larger if possible. Or, maybe a third party of a celebrity if they prefer to remain anonymous. Or some wealthy philanthropist who believes in his messages. What a boost to his campaign if he could get a large contributor to monetarily support him.

God, these people scare the hell outta me. Cain and Perry didn’t have a CLUE as to what they were talking about, and all the others just preached war and propaganda. How could anyone applaud someone who endorses assassinations and torture?
The founding fathers gave captured war criminals fair trials in civilian courts, so in my mind that debate was settled LONG ago. Bachmann saying “We absolutely should torture terrorists for information,” and Romney saying “I think we should have the power to assassinate people deemed a threat,” just blows my mind!
Other than Dr. Paul, Huntsman was the only one on the stage that wasn’t a complete fascist.

I think Ron Paul has defined his defined his presidency by being against torture and getting all of the other GOPer’s saying they are for torture.
I think it was a good night for Dr. Paul.

I hope you’re right. I found it rather disturbing when Bachmann, Romney, and the others started endorsing assassinations and torture, and people in the crowd applauded them. Dr. Paul and Jon Huntsman were the only two on stage who came across as HUMAN, in my eyes.

Well I just saw the debate and really didn’t expect anything different from other debates. Ron Paul was given very few questions to respond to. And, the after debate the campaign managers were asked to comment on their candidate performance. Guess whose campaign manager wasn’t given a chance to respond? Ron Paul.
It sounded like every candidate up on stage wanted to start another war with Iran other than
Ron Paul. They all found water boarding acceptable, along with Drone attacks in Pakistan but. not Ron Paul. And, Huntsman would allow China to continue stealing our intelligence, patent infringements, and he doesn’t want to start a trade war with them. I think as many other people, we are already in a trade war with China with currency manipulation and them putting tariffs or wanting access to our technology security safeguards against cyber attacks on our U.S. companies that want to do business with them. Cain has no experience in Foreign Policy and therefore, he was unable to give definitive answers. I guess his 999 plan couldn’t help him in this debate.
Ron Paul has the correct answers to our Foreign Policy issues.

why is does Pakistan play the “double game” of taking our money and hiding Bin Laden? Let’s look at the US Pakistan financial agreement. The US is paying Pakistan leadership / military millions of dollars a year to hunt Bin Laden. If you are Pakistan, once you catch the bad guys, the US money will stop. stupid deal. pay them for each head and the results would be dramatically different. this is a deal made by bureaucrats playing with others money
