Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah Question to Ron Paul

[malaise]

after his anti-social contract rant - do you get Social Security Checks?

Stutter, stutter...I do blah blah blah
Thanks Sam!!

[NNN0LHI]

1. Typical bagger

SS for me but no SS for you.

Don

[malaise]

2. That's why it was such a great question

He danced all around it

[leftyohiolib]

3. hypocritic little imp

[BlueToTheBone]

4. I thought they had their own

retirement plan. He gets SS too? Double dipping hypocrite.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

5. And this was after they praised him for being so consistent.

[KharmaTrain]

6. He's Really Full Of Himself...

I first met and interviewed Ron Paul in '88 when he was what he always has been...a "Libertarian"...and a selfish one at that. This guy seems to have really fallen for his own cult of personality. He's gonna dictate party platform terms? Yeah right. Even with his machinations that got him more delegates than he deserved/earned based on primary votes he still doesn't hold enough delegates to do more than make a lot of noise and nothing else. Yet there he was dictating terms. Hopefully he'll let his ego continue to grow and turn the rushpublican swillfest in Tampa into a real circus.

Kudos to Sam to long ask this snake oil salesman the obvious. He throws around the words "freedom" and "liberty" as though he invented or own them...what a pompous ass!

[malaise]

9. Well said

What made it so sweet is that Sam asked the question towards the end so all the BS that went before was exposed as he stuttered his way around the answer. That was freaking priceless.

29. How sweet that question was ~

Loved it!

[malaise]

31. Oh yes goclark

12. if ron paul isn't talking about himself, he will make sure someone is.

you are completely correct, I have never known another repuke halfwit, such as paul, that is so deeply in love with themselves.

You hit it on the head when you called that libertarian moron selfish.

[A Simple Game]

22. I wish him all the luck in the world while at the convention in Tampa. n/t

[Segami]

7. LOL! What is mine is mine,...what is yours is mine also!

Baggers with kaleidoscope eyes.

[malaise]

11. That's the truth

I hope someone copied this to Youtube - it is hilarious

[pinto]

8. Kick

Good one!

[Lawlbringer]

13. I mocked this today, too, and Libertard friends already

said, "well he paid into it, he's entitled to it."

My reply: "What about everyone else who paid into it?"

Nothing from them yet.

[malaise]

16. Don't hold your breath

It's all about them.

[marble falls]

19. Paul paid into it alright, but he got every penny he put into it back in four or five years. ...

means test SSI and kick ALL the millionaires (including my parents) off it.

[abelenkpe]

28. Even my liberal friends think ss will be gone by the time they retire

And buy into the whole right wing talking point of it being an unsustainable communist ponzi scheme. These are people in their mid thirties to mid forties. After paying in they are resigned to give it up. Drives me insane. Democrats need to do a better job explaining the program and why we need to strengthen it.

All the tea party/republicans I know collect ss, use Medicare and spout off on how we need to get rid of it. It's for them but not their kids.

[Lucy Goosey]

14. Awesome!

I didn't see this - who asked the question? Sam...Donaldson?

Anyway, whichever Sam we are talking about, this is beautiful - I love that someone, anyone, asked Paul that question. Hope it shows up on the YouTubes.

[malaise]

15. Sam Seder

It was fall down funny

[Lucy Goosey]

17. That makes sense.

Seder is one of the best there is when it comes to dealing with libertarians and debunking libertarianism.

[malaise]

18. He was dry as dust with a straight face

which made the stuttering twice as funny

[PatSeg]

34. Actually it was Sam Stein

not Sam Seder.

Just want the right Sam to get credit.

[freedom fighter jh]

20. I would accept the benefits if I were him.

His whole working life he was forced to pay into a system in which he does not believe. Is his objection to the system a reason why he should not accept the benefits that the system -- to which he has contributed -- does provide?

[malaise]

26. The same is true for the millions of others who have paid into the system

but Ron Paul would shut it down and not give a flying fuck about their investment in SS.

[freedom fighter jh]

30. He would shut it down gradually, so that older people could get something back.

"I’d like to get the young people out of it, just the younger generation, because there’s no money there, and they’re going to have to pay 50 years and they’re not going to get anything." From http://www.issues2000.org/2012/Ron_Paul_Social_Security.htm .

[Blue_Tires]

32. So Paul needs to STFU about killing SS/Medicare for the rest of us...

Just a sanctimonious hypocritical blowhard of the worst order, but so many people want to give him a pass because he supposedly wants to legalize weed and end the wars

23. Is there video?

[malaise]

25. I hope

[eaglesfanintn]

35. In case you haven't found it yet...

[malaise]

37. Thanks - hahahahaha

Sweet for days

[eaglesfanintn]

27. Like Ayn Rand

Applying for Medicare and taking Social Security. Those social safety nets are garbage until you need/want them.
They drip with their own hypocrisy. What's infuriating are all the blind followers. You can't criticize their heroes or you're just a "hater". So, of course the project that on to Democrats/progressives. We're not so blind -we can see the faults in our leaders and will often criticize them, but they think that just because they blindly worship, that we do as well.
I hope this is on the Majority Report today!

[PatSeg]

33. That really woke me up this morning

Can't believe no one ever thought to ask him that before.

Meanwhile, anyone who has any sense knows all we need to do is raise the cap on Social Security.

What a hypocrite he is. He has a pension plan and great health care plan courtesy of the rest of us. Oh and the salary he receives as well.
