DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME!!!
10:26 into the video, the INTRODUCTION finally starts. Ron starts talking after 11 minutes into the video!!!
What the flip? Why was the camera even ON for the first 1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...yawn... 10-plus minutes of this video? It would take the poster... about eight extra seconds to cut it off. And yet I watched it, because I didn't want to miss something. Watch at 8:20 through 8:40 where they take an old lady from the front row and switch her with a young lady in a short skirt. Better for the cameras... SERIOUSLY? At 9:55 the boy in the front row drops his sign and tries to hand it to someone else. They don't take it... Better for the cameras?????????

well the article was definately worth a read - thanks for posting

im a fan of dr. paul , but i cant help thinking his ideas sound too good to be true

i try to spread his message everywhere i can but most people write him off, just like the MSM has

he gets no coverage at all - not even negative coverage

must mean he's got somebody worried...

None of that happened. Ron Paul starts talking 44 seconds into the video. What are you talking about?

The video has been fixed, they originally put the raw footage up which had a bunch of dead time at the beginning. Even then I couldn't find either of the incidents uthminsta referenced though, at the times he mentioned or anywhere else

Awesome. Simply awesome.

"Appearing on CNN ahead of the speech, Paul was pressed by Wolf Blitzer on how eliminating about 221,000 government jobs across five cabinet departments would boost the economy. He responded: “They’re not productive jobs,” he said.

Great line.

the campaign says that plan “honors our promise to our seniors and veterans, while allowing young workers to opt out.”

A chance that I could opt out of Social Insecurity? I want to hug my laptop.
