Some highlights

CNN: Rudy Giuliani asked you to take your words back.
Are you going to take your words back? Have you thought about this?

RP: Yes. I thought about it and decided that I am not going to take them back.
Because there is no reason to, he is the one that is confused.


CNN: John Edwards said that War on Terror is a bumper sticker. Do you agree with that?
RP: Terrorism is a tactic, it is not an enemy.
It is just the tactic that various enemies use.
You cannot have a war against a tactic...
... We have a reason to attack and eliminate Al-Quaeda...
but we are not doing that

Bush: We are there at the invitation of the Iraqi government ...
RP: *laughs*
Bush: ... if they are to say: "Leave", we would leave

RP: Well. I think that is very good. Since they are just about to do it and
I think that is very encouraging that he (Bush) came around to that point...

----
So, do you think that republicans are slowly getting ready to cave in on the Iraq war? (based on Bush comment)
I think their strategy is to pretend that they do it on their own and not because of the pressure from democrats in congress

P.S.

Is it ok to laugh when Bush says: "We are there at the invitation of the Iraqi government".
I think CNN suspected that some non-verbal reaction will happen when Ron hears that and did the split screen shot.

1. Who the shit is the tool that's interviewing him?

someone get that man an enema and a matchbox.

[CGowen]

2. Rick Sanchez I would say ... and he might do it

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10HfrmMZANY Daily Show on Rick Sanchez

[NastyDiaper]

3. that tool said '30's isolationist'. He's a limbaugh crank.

[TXVNVt]

6. Sanchez

He wants to be the new conservanazi talking head stooge on the block.

Sanchez is a new version of Bill O'Really.

He'll probably be getting a new show on Fox Noise. :rofl:

[whistle]

10. God, he was pushy, arrogant, manipulative....Fox deserves him

[McCamy Taylor]

4. The corporate media keeps showing Ron Paul, because he makes the GOP look good.

[hezekkia]

11. how does he make Republicans look good?

He makes the Bush-Giuliani-etc. warmongers look like the uninformed idiots they are.

[coco77]

5. This is some more of that media bias...

There have been dems who have said the same thing and the media ignores it.

[CGowen]

7. How many of them are presidential candidates?

Kucinich and Gravel I would say

[NastyDiaper]

8. "Is it true that all candidates would take your position if this was a Democratic war?"

Now that's a question for Ron Paul. I hope RP flogs the whole bunch the next debate with that sentiment.

[ProfessorPlum]

9. God, I hate that interviewer

the more i see of him, the more I hope something very bad happens to him that shakes up his worldview.

[KurtNYC]

12. "Let me stop you there....so you agree with Jon Edwards..."

how blatant can the "interviewer" (if he qualifies for that term) be about not wanting Ron Paul to get his own message out?

Dr. Paul did fine but I would have liked to see him give longer answers and NOT let the CNN guy "stop you there"

[SergeyDovlatov]

13. yep. Interviewer wanted to get "Paul says WoT is a bumper sticker too"

Instead interviewer got a reasonable explanation of why war on terror is indeed a nonsensical combination of words.


:patriot:

[King Coal]

14. Ron Paul is right on.

He would make a good president. I wish he would change parties.
