Here Is Which GOP Candidate According To Bloomberg Readers Understands The Economy Best

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 10/12/2011 09:25 -0400

Is anyone surprised?

And since the biggest challenge facing the ponzi scheme that is the United States is purely economic, does this country not deserve a president who actually does not need an abacus when doing simple addition?

More information for the MSM to promptly ignore. Fuck all them, Ron Paul 2012. Let him win, be "accidently" killed and let's get WWIII started already. We all know how this turns out and where this is all headed. 2000+ years of history has the answer. Hedge accordingly

But, but.... Herman Cain ran a pizza chain... surely that count for something?

Wed, 10/12/2011 - 09:41 | 1765265 cat2

I like how he is "former pizza joint owner" instead of "former Federal Reserve KC Director"

Even worse still... you brought it up though, good point!

The only other guy who is a better candidate than Ron Paul is not even on the list. it's Gary Johnson, former governor of New Mexico.

Wed, 10/12/2011 - 09:50 | 1765322 Temporalist

Gary Johnson picked Ron Paul for President.

Wed, 10/12/2011 - 09:36 | 1765239 Archimedes

Then why the hell is the media totally ignoring this guy! Why does everyone think that automoton Mitt Romney is the front runner? If Chris Christie was the new darling of the Rethuglicans why did he not support Ron Paul?

Wed, 10/12/2011 - 09:37 | 1765249 SeverinSlade

Because MSM is controlled by the very same people that are imploding the US/global economy.

Wed, 10/12/2011 - 09:51 | 1765327 Temporalist

I think Chris Christie just lost a lot of respect from a lot of people for backing Mittens.

Wed, 10/12/2011 - 10:39 | 1765636 wherewasi

Christie has a great no-BS approach and doesn't back down to the opposition. On the other hand, he still believes the global warming bs... Is he just a gutsy dumbass?

Wed, 10/12/2011 - 12:30 | 1766181 Ronaldo

Because he is planning on being Romney's VP.

As far as modern time USA presidents are concerned, ignorance is a bliss and a requirement.

Looks like the top tier is: Cain, Romney.

The distress of Ron Paul supporters for his neglect by the corporate media makes me wonder just what his Vision would do about the complete ownership of media that effectively puts his candidacy in what looks like a hopeless position.

Has anybody heard him speak to this issue . . . or does the Free Market solve that problem?

Wed, 10/12/2011 - 09:47 | 1765281 cat2

The internet is free, and he hands down wins in that domain. And I daresay, it's the only domain that matters. He will get the nomination because his supporters will vote in the primary. Check any online poll. That is an indication on how the primary will go since his supporters will bother to register and show up to cast a vote.

Wed, 10/12/2011 - 13:31 | 1766394 Cthonic

Those truly wishing to see Ron Paul in office ought to vote for him in the primaries. However, a number of states hold closed primaries, meaning supporters in those states must be registered as Republicans by their respective state deadlines in order to cast such a ballot. I mention this small yet technically relevant hurdle due to the overwhelming number of purported supporters encountered in the 2007 and 2008 timeframe who could not be troubled to do so and nevetheless magically expected his name to appear on the general election ballot.

Wed, 10/12/2011 - 09:38 | 1765255 Dingleberry

No matter.....Obama will get re-elected. It's an indictment of how shitty the Repub field is. Both parties are bought and paid for anyway. Don't worry Lloyd, Jamie, et al......you are covered.

Wed, 10/12/2011 - 09:44 | 1765283 CClarity

Where is Lloyd these days (besides conferring with his expensive criminal lawyer)? Blankfein name has sure been out of MSM for months.

Obama will get re-elected.

No. Fucking. Way.

What's going to happen between now and the election will guarantee that Hopey doesn't get re-elected.

How are those e-voting machine working for ya. I hear that you don't even need to open then the tamper with the votes now. Makes voting easier or something.

Wed, 10/12/2011 - 11:10 | 1765786 NidStyles

100% paper ballots here.

Wed, 10/12/2011 - 10:57 | 1765718 tictawk

ANYONE in the Repub field will beat OBAMA simply because he cannot run on his record. People are simply TIRED of that lying SOB to vote for him a second time. Youth unemployment is the HIGHEST under his term so does anyone really think youth will fawn over him again? All that is needed is a mediocre understanding business to realize that "spending money you don't have is a bad idea"

who is ron paul? Chris Christie called me last night to say he is endorsing Romney. i vomited up my dinner

im being facetious. i'd probably take a bullet for RP

Because you're a dupe, or because you don't understand that he has DONE nothing, or because HE'S NOT a democrat and NOT in the pocket of some special interest, you think?

Wed, 10/12/2011 - 10:56 | 1765710 end da fed

insults don't make an argument logical.

i dont care what political party he is in.

what he has done is inform millions of us of how we are being scammed and impoverished by the FED.

and yes, he is in the pocket of a special interest group, it's called WE, THE PEOPLE... just look at the numbers of individuals who make contributions to him as compared to the other republican candidates

Wed, 10/12/2011 - 14:01 | 1766485 anony

Inform you?

Where the fuck have you been that you need some politician to inform you of what is going on?

If you are representative of his consituency, no wonder this country is so fucked.

Wed, 10/12/2011 - 14:55 | 1766694 end da fed

i'm not special. most people have been hoodwinked by the FED thanks to our "education" system and the media.

and apparently, you can't have a conversation with someone you disagree with without being derogatory. if you hang out on this site, i assume you understand the problems we're facing. the more people who understand the better we're all going to fare, and as the saying goes... "you'll catch more flies with honey"... so maybe you could help us out and not be such an asshole

I got the same phone call last night, which tells me they are going to groom christie for mitt's vp. I hung up as soon as I heard, "hi, this is Chris Christie and I endorsed......" Why would they start a phone campain for this? Who cares?

Wed, 10/12/2011 - 12:39 | 1766220 end da fed

for real. and those recordings really piss me off because they don't respond when i tell them to STOP CALLING ME BECAUSE I KNOW ALL ABOUT THE MATRIX!!!!!

Wed, 10/12/2011 - 13:05 | 1766263 malalingua

I would love to know how they got my number. I never get called for any Rasmussen poll but I get called for this nonsense.

Wed, 10/12/2011 - 17:04 | 1767171 end da fed

again, ditto. recently, the AFL-CIO has been calling me alot, sometimes more than once with the same survey. ive been asked if i was hispanic so they could get a "representative sample". i answer yes for laughs even though im not. i wish all of these twits would leave me alone

Wed, 10/12/2011 - 17:43 | 1767317 malalingua

When they ask you next time say, si. LOL.

Well, well, wouldn't you know, here are the two clowns gushing all over each other. Yep, he's going to be his vp. This is going to be fun watching the more conservative types christie brings to join forces with satan, I mean, mitt. What thinkest thou? I didn't have a lot of respect for christie, I liked when he took on the teacher unions but he has lost all credibility, even my neo-conservative friends think this move has shown christie to be a sell-out.

lol but my choices were push 1 or 2. they shouldve offered uno or dos.

yes, it looks like romney and christie are gonna have a regular lovefest. good call

someone accurately called what christie said to the teacher "porn for libertarians". but i really dont know much about him or romney to comment on them except i can tell they aren't libertatians so they won't get my support.

i mute everyone during the debates except ron paul, gary johnson, and herman cain (and i would never support cain because he's a former Fed chairman but he says some great oneliners that crack me up that no one else has the guts to say)

at this point, barring some falseflag terrorist attack, i think whoever wins the rep pres nomination will be a shoo-in. what say you?

there are some really angry people here. i wonder if will have provoked any of their wrath with my opinions

Wed, 10/12/2011 - 19:15 | 1767684 malalingua

hmm, we'll have to merge their names together, like Mitchis or Chrimit?

I found myself drinking too much while watching the debates so now I just watch the Ron Paul highlights on youtube. For me it's Ron Paul. I like Gary Johnson but they don't allow him in the debates, sadly. I think his voice and ideas should be exposed so people can make their own decisions, but as you know, 'they' think we're too overwhelmed by all the choices so 'they' limit them for us.

Herman's 9-9-9 plan is dangerous and will be detrimental for the poor, and since the middle-class is being destroyed people will need to start doing the math. Where I live I pay 8.4% sales tax, with Cain's plan you add another 9% to that and that will be 17.4% on consumption. Groceries and medicine will also be taxable under his plan. After Cain's remarks about Greenspan it proves the guy knows nada, also Herman was totally caught lying to Ron Paul about auditing the Fed.

I don't believe there will ever be a Ron Paul, this is our last time to vote for a man like this. He has the track record to prove he is the only one that has the people's interests at heart.

Don't worry about the Ron Paul haters, they always get voted down.

Wed, 10/12/2011 - 20:22 | 1767880 end da fed

try watching the debates with sound muted. it prevents alcohol poisoning as well as the urge to harm people.

ouch. 17.4% and we'd be starting to look like greece. id be at 15.75. that ought to help our GDP

as for ron paul, he is our modern day thomas jefferson. he is my hero. i pray for his safety daily. ive realized that regardless of what happens, he has started something that will not end: he has told us the truth and we will keep spreading it until we get justice.

Wed, 10/12/2011 - 21:00 | 1767983 malalingua

Good on you and completely agree. Check this cool new video out from last night's debate. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brzhfkFFm_Q&feature=youtu.be

now i'm glad that cain is in the race. dr. paul can hammer the FED on primetime. and educate millions! woo hoo!

Wed, 10/12/2011 - 09:40 | 1765258 drivenZ

Romney from a few days ago...

"This is America's moment. We should embrace the challenge, not shrink from it, not crawl into an isolationist shell, not wave the white flag of surrender, nor give in to those who assert America's moment has passed. That is utter nonsense. This century must be an American century. In an American century, America has the strongest economy and the strongest military in the world.God did not create this country to be a nation of followers. America is not destined to be one of several equally balanced global powers. America must lead the world, or someone else will......As President, on Day One, I will focus on rebuilding America’s economy. I will reverse President Obama’s massive defense cuts. Time and again, we have seen that attempts to balance the budget by weakening our military only lead to a far higher price, not only in treasure, but in blood"

If that quote doesn't scare the bejeezus out of you, you're probably just as delusional. Right on Mitt, more defense spending will ensure our DESTINY. Spoken like a true psychotic religious billionaire.

Wed, 10/12/2011 - 09:44 | 1765279 SeverinSlade

Just watch all these Obumma haters (that voted for him in 2008) line up to vote for Mitt in 2012, then be SHOCKED when we invade the rest of the Middle East.

Ahhh, a Ronald Reagan bullshit moment! When all else fails, resort to military support/war/patriotism etc. etc. etc. It works. As if spending on the military will reverse the job-loss and economic decline of the middle class over the past 40 years. But free trade? We're all Chinese now...

Wed, 10/12/2011 - 10:37 | 1765598 EternalVigilance

THEY will pick who YOU will vote for! Thats right!

And he slouches, doesn't know what to do with his hands, and ...

Ohmigawd, could it be ??? The man has No Handlers!

Impossible that he can win, let alone be the Repiglican nominee.

Dr. Paul is the only hope for our Country to reverse 98 years of takeover by the Federal Reserve System.

It is time to make the turn from our current road to ruin. Dr. Paul can drive us around that turn.

Mr. Chairman RP has subpoena power in the congress, why is he not sending out an armada of process servers to serve up some of the lesser birds who work in the understory over at the FED, convening his committee to get a chirping sound going might stir up a gaggle of dirty birds. Come on Mr. Chairman lets get these birds singing...

Wed, 10/12/2011 - 10:09 | 1765456 anony

Because he is all mouth. All show. He writes, he speaks, he proselytizes, he proclaims, chants and shouts.

AND DOESN'T And WON'T do one damned constructive thing.

I cannot believe the number os disenchanted voters he has managed to hornswoggle. Many of them here.

Why do you think the Democrats were so quiet about the massive Diebold frauds and data corruption in Ohio in the 2004 election?

He didn't do obamacare
He didn't do TARP.
He didn't do iraq.
He didn't do stimulus.
He didn't do libya.
He didn't do the debt ceiling raise.
He didn't do Dodd-Frank.
He didn't do Fannie Mae / Freddie Mac.
He didn't do solyndra.
He won't do the jobs bill.

Mon, 10/24/2011 - 15:56 | 1805583 anony

I wish you were right and they would do more of less.

At least that's something......now call me back when he announces that he has authored a bill that CONgress ---ALL its members retired, current, and future---- must live under the same circumstances as other americans.

i.e. The Members give up their raises without a national referendum, they agree to live under social security and give up their cushy penshions, they agree to abide by insider trading rules that we must follow and he also authors a bill to allow voting across state lines when a national issue is involved, and stop trading favors amongst themselves: ("you vote for my pet national program now and I'll vote for yours next time").

Until then he is just another mouth, saying many of the things we already know are wrong with this country, which makes him moot at best.

Wed, 10/12/2011 - 10:20 | 1765539 granolageek

That is a legitimate concern. While I'm sure he would have many fine years left as an ordinary citizen, or even as a second tier congressman, it appears to me that running for president is already taking it out of him. Having seen what actually having the job has done to the last four presidents, I question his physical ability to handle the strain.

I sincerely believe that neither Reagan, nor FDR should have run for their final terms. Whether their basic philosophies were right or wrong, both let things happen at the end of their terms that were just plain f*ck ups, that would not have happened had they still been with it. Ron Paul gives me the same vibes.

Glass steagall isn't the issue. Fractional reserve banking and fiat currencies are. Fractional reserve banking is fraud. The balance the bank says is in your account is not really there. Glass steagall is akin to putting seatbelts in a car with no brakes. The system is broken. No legislation within the system can fix it. The system itself needs to change.

100% reserve requirements and competing currencies would let the free market sort this shit out.

I'd also love to see what percentage of bloomberg readers also vote. I bet it's a lower percentage than the national average. The more educated you are the less likely to vote because you realize your vote doesn't matter unless an election is won by one vote.

If that were to happen anyway of course there would be recounts until that one vote wasn't even the difference. It's rational thought.. If everyone thinks that way, sure nobody votes.. world implodes whatever your innane argument is... its still rational thought.

I would like to support Ron Paul but I can't support his stance on border security. Securing the borders sounds like another expensive venture we can't win. Open borders for workers, free flow of labor until than, Mr. Paul is not my canidate.

You might look into what Ike did about border security.

A common tactic of paul supporters is to stuff online polls..just look at the amount of votes he got in this poll and look at his stand in the polls.. Just like these bullshit straw polls where the winning candidate is the one who sells the most tickets..This poll means nothing..and if paul gets the nod we'll have 4 more years of obama..

Paul says much that I agree with but he's too far out there to get elected..his foreign policy stances alone will either keep Reps. away from the ballot box and drive independents to Obama..the country can't take another 4 years of bullshit hope and change..there are no perfect candiddates..I'm looking seriously at Romney as the most electable..ok Paul supporters ...ATTACK!!!!!

Time for a quantum mental shift. Start thinking and acting like an old school American, founding-fathers-style. What if Thomas Jefferson thought like you?

Wed, 10/12/2011 - 11:12 | 1765794 FromGaltsGulch

I wonder if Thomas Jefferson were alive today if he'd be such an isolationist. With ICBM's that can reach out shores from thousand's of miles away, with those who would do us harm using modern tech against us, would he believe in no entangling alliances? Jefferson would change with the times..maybe Ron Paul and the LP(where Iwas a member for 18 years) should also update his ideas to fit modern realities. I petitioned to get him on the ballot in '88 . i agree with his stands on the Fed..though i don't think it shouldbe abolished but it's powers have grown too much.

each time has it's own "modern tech"

Little doubt he would be more isolationist after having seen the horrors of the current lunacy.

What, you favor being dragged into a nuclear confrontation due to the actions of a third party sovereign? Look at our situation with respect to Taiwan, Israel, Saudi Arabia, all de facto examples of "entangling alliances." You really want us wrapped up in more of these chinese finger puzzles, not fewer?

Even if Ron Paul kicked the bucket 2 years in to his presidency, I'd rather have 2 good years with him, than the last decade we've had with the other dipshits. Trolls can say what they like, but I have been talking to even hard core democrats lately, and they grudgingly concede that Ron Paul makes more sense than anyone else. Jon Stewart plugged him twice in his recent Rolling Stone interview. Ron Paul is speaking the minds of the average American, and doesn't dress it up in pretty bullshit.

I think the occupy wall street movement is a great time to get Ron Paul's message out there.

Since they are all committed to the continuance of the Ponzi scheme, vote to leave all Federal offices vacant. That gives the States control of funding for Federal agencies.

"does this country not deserve a president who actually does not need an abacus when doing simple addition?"

Except for Ron Paul... Those ass holes need a staffer with a calculator when doing simple addition...

Of course you would think Perry and Bachmann would have the advantage with "simpleton" addition...

Paul is the only hope... but he needs to grow a pair and start to really tear apart the others, hit them with the Fed, with gold, with Romney's choice of panty color... like that! Wimps don't win, so start swinging, get dirty!

Ron Paul's a cult leader for some new political economics

and anyone with REAL vested interests in America should be scared of him

Wed, 10/12/2011 - 13:23 | 1766367 DosZap

nah,

DEFINE cult leader, as you used it pls sir.

Anyone who has a clue what the founding docs say, would be an idiot not to vote for him, IF he could win.
