***Official Ron Paul video thread***

[Taso]

In my opinion, when you constantly support a candidate (Giuliani), ridicule Ron Paul, and then the few times he comes on the show, ask him absurd questions instead of questions about policy, fundraising etc, it's pretty bad. Nothing to be happy about.

Did you watch the video?

They talk about how he has almost reached his goal of 12 million$, let him talk about why he thinks he has gotten so much support, why people are donating, and letting him explain why it think that has happened. They ask him where he would cut to balance the budget, and finish of by saying to the viewers: "RonPaul2008.com, Go where everyone else is going and support the guy who is really surprising everyone in the field".

I did, I posted about it earlier, where I said I thought Ron Paul was a little too defensive about it, but that is an absurd way to start an interview.

Its a catchy lead-in. Whats more likely to attract viewers: "Stay tuned as we get Ron Paul on the show to talk about his successful money-raising campaign", or "Stay tuned and see what Republican candidate is supported by the Bunny Ranch" ?

I honestly dont find it absurd. Its certainly different, but its often more interresting to hear why the candidate think he gets support from the owner of the Bunny Ranch than why he think he gets support from the average mayor of some random city.

It shows that Ron Paul is finding support in unlikely places, and even though that owner probably has a negative stigma abot him does not mean that it should be off limits to talk about him.

That people get angry whenever Ron Paul are asked questions like this that might catch him off guard, but goes "hell yeah, thats awesome" whenever it happens to any other candidate is one of the things that bothers me about some of the Ron Paul supporters.

I don't see them asking Rudy that question.

[Bedreviter]

That does not make the question bad, but the coverage unfair.

Thanks for the semantics lesson.

Thanks for answering in an undouchy manner.

I thought the Paul interview on Fox worked out fine, what am I missing (he made quite a reasonable response to the first question, although he did drag on unnecessarily)?
