Paul Joins Huntsman in Skipping Trump Event: I Didn‘t Know He Had the Ability to ’Anoint People’

During his appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union” Sunday, Texas Rep. Ron Paul elaborated on his decision to not join other Republican candidates for President in attending an event moderated by Donald Trump. Paul said the main reason for his decision was based off the real estate mogul’s treatment of the Republican Party of Iowa. When asked about Trump’s popularity among GOP candidates, who continue to make time to meet with the man who once was seriously considering challenging Barack Obama himself, the veteran politician Paul told CNN host Candy Crowley that he doesn’t get:
“Yeah, I don’t quite understand it. I don’t understand the marching to his office. I mean I didn’t know that he had an ability to lay on hands, you know, and anoint people. But I have to just do my thing. I don’t think — obviously — you know, early on, even at CPAC, he volunteered the first attack on me.
But evidently, you know, he probably doesn’t like my position on the federal reserve. You know, easy credit for developers and investors, you know they like easy credit and they like the federal reserve and they like that for bailing out. So I don’t know, maybe deep down philosophic. And of course his position on China was quite different. So I think it is philosophic and probably his personality that doesn’t like to be challenged.”
The attack that Paul was referring to was when then possible candidate Trump said at CPAC last year that Ron Paul had “zero chance” of winning the presidency.
In key early primary states, Paul is currently polling third in New Hampshire and second in Iowa.

When Paul‘s campaign released a statement yesterday declining an invitation to attend Newsmax’s December 27th debate hosted by “reality television personality” Donald Trump, they described the selection of Trump as “beneath the office of the Presidency:”
“Mr. Trump’s participation as moderator will distract from questions and answers concerning important issues such as the national economy, crushing federal government debt, the role of the federal government, foreign policy, and the like. To be sure, Mr. Trump’s participation will contribute to an unwanted circus-like atmosphere.”
Former Utah Governor Jon Huntsman announced Saturday that he too will skip Trump’s event, telling reporters in South Carolina “I’m not going to journey to New York City to meet with Don Trump. You just need know that,” to scattered laughter.
Trump has already responded to Paul and Huntsman’s remarks, via the New York Daily News Sunday:
“’Few people take Ron Paul seriously and many of his views and presentation make him a clown-like candidate,’ Trump said in a statement Sunday to the Daily News.
‘I am glad he and Jon Huntsman, who has inconsequential poll numbers or a chance of winning, will not be attending the debate and wasting the time of the viewers who are trying very hard to make a very important decision,’ Trump said.”
At least they all can agree on one thing: they want President Obama fired.

Posted on December 5, 2011 at 12:29amAre we absolutely sure that Trump has picked the right event to moderate?:
Trump has also supported other notable politicians, including:
• $7,000 to former Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.), the “liberal lion of the Senate”
• $7,500 to former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani (R)
• $5,500 to Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) including $2,000 during his 2004 presidential run
• $5,000 to former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.)
• $4,000 to former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle (D-S.D.)
• $2,000 to former President George W. Bush (R)
• $1,000 to then-Sen. Joe Biden (D-Del.)

The fact is that 93% of ALL D.C. politicians are corrupt to the core. When it comes to a “politician”, Democrat or Republican makes no difference.
When PAUL is elected he will be able to tell us the truth about the Emergency banking Act of 1933
and how America’s land, it’s branches of government, and IT”S PEOPLE were PLEDGED as COLLATERAL

JFK signed E.O. #11110 granting authority to the Treasury of the United States ( A government Branch ) to print AMERICAN currency based on silver.
This would devalue the Federal Reeserve ( PRIVATE BANK ) note. A FIAT, NON-AMERICAN currency
Based on the speculation of global banksters.
He was also going to expose “secret” societies. Probably the truth about how our government has been taken over by the creditors of the bankruptcy. The receivers of the deed to the U.S. are the U.N.’s IMF, Acquired during the Bretton Woods Treaty of 1944.

Posted on December 5, 2011 at 1:00pmAs Ron Paul says: “You have two choices. Either you can work your way out of this, or you wait until it collapses and you have to rebuild it.”
A primary vote for either Romney or Gingrich is a vote for waiting, just as surely as a vote for Obama in 2008 was. Neither Gingrich nor Romney has even the faintest grasp of the nature or the extent of the problems presently facing the nation. Neither Gingrich nor Romney will do anything in office, anything at all, to address these problems. They will instead do precisely as various presidents named Bush, Obama and Clinton have done in attempting to buy more time, and thereby exacerbating the situation when no more time can be bought.
Republicans now have two choices. They can either put forward Ron Paul as a candidate who is committed to address the financial and economic problems facing the nation, or they can put forward a candidate who will do little more than ensure Republicans bear the blame for the economic collapse of the country.

Posted on December 5, 2011 at 6:31pmFaith: Scary stance on foreign policy? Is that the stance that we don’t dictate to others how to run their nations, and pick and choose who can do what and where, with the “leaders” we installed into power throughout many of those said nations?
Scary is thinking that because you’re big and number 1, you can run and micromanage the rest of the world without it coming back to bite you in the rear.
Scary would be if we weren’t number 1, and some other nation put forth the argument that we couldn’t be trusted with nuclear powers, after all we are the only nation to ever actually use them against people. And wouldn’t it be scary if they could just rally the rest of the world against you?
Maybe Iran will get a nuke one day. Maybe. But from what we’ve been told in this narrative, they should have had it at least a decade ago. Ever notice that it’s always some point down the road?
Hey, here’s a question: China and Russia are readying for WW3 if we allow Iran to be attacked. Anybody think our posture might be setting up something really, really bad here?
I don’t recall hearing the founding fathers worry about how we would defend other nations borders.
Once, we were the shining city on the hill. We were where you went to be free, and safe from oppression.
At some point, it seems we became the Shining City that tried to make every other city a shining city. But those new shiny cities actually were a turd with a wax coating.

There are WELL OVER a half million (actually closer to 750,00) medical doctors in the United States. There are only 435 United States Representatives in the Congress. Wouldn’t referring to him as Rep. Paul be a higher honor? Or could it be that some of you are trying to bolster his standing? I see no real-world benefit to having a POTUS with a medical background over and above any other profession.

The cycle is broken, and if you do not wish to open you eyes to the tyranny around us, then so be it. But history will look back and wonder why we didn‘t elect someone who hadn’t been bought off by special interests when that’s all we B itch about.

Posted on December 5, 2011 at 1:20am82, After reading down the posts here, I can answer your questions. First, I call him Dr. Paul because he earned that title with hard work and dedication. He is unlike any other Congressman and is called Dr. No by other members of Congress as he will not follow them with Unconstitutional measures. The reason for supporters like YoungBlood resort to the name calling is that all the Neocons, croni-capitalists and other Progressives that believe they are Conservatives that post here often, do nothing but bash Paul and call him kook, senile, fool, racist, anti-semetic, and a host of other vile names. Paul has the most loyal supporters than any other candidate. If you have noticedwith other candidates supporters, the first flavor of the month was Romney, then the next month, Perry, next month Cain, now Newt. Paul supporters stick with him because Paul has never waivered in his fight to get back to Constitutional principles and Individual Liberty. He has never flip flopped on these ideals and never will. He has kept steadfast since the first time he ran for President in 87 under the Libertarian banner. Same in 2007 the second time around and you can listen to his campaign then and think it is from now. Honorable, steadfast, Constitutionally sound and a fighter for freedom for everyone. That is why I am supporting Dr. Paul.

Ask Israel to give back the Gaza strip to the Palestinians: Jordan and Syria hold almost all of the “Palestinian Homeland.” (there has never been a recognized Palestinian Homeland)
“round ‘em up and bring ‘em home.” Most bases should be shut down. However an armed conflict is mostly won or lost by logistics or the lack thereof. We have to have bases around the world, fully stocked and manned to support possible future actions. Case in point: It took MUCH longer to position material for the Gulf War than it took to fight it. With the advances in technology time is perhaps the deciding factor in the next war. Our potential enemies will be fighting from their homelands. They will have everything in hand. If we are forced to attempt to move everything necessary thousands of miles before we even get into the fight we are in deep, deep trouble. Yes we have airborne assets that can get to the battlefield in hours but in a real war you have to have boots on the ground; and the means to support them.

Why not cut off the mexican cartels money maker? Why not break the pockets of these lazy local drug dealers? Whether legal or not, you can just about get any drug from any small town in the US.
@youngblood, Im in my mid 20s too and i support DR. Paul as well. Just lay off the scotch bro b4 you debate. Leave out the name calling and such becuz it is unnecessary. Dont give in by letting some of these brainwashed baby boomers get to you. Educate them with facts, reason, and logic.

I don’t call him Mr. Speaker but if I did it would be because he was third in line for the Oval Office and it’s a title for life. There is only one Speaker of the House at a time – again – not several hundred thousand.

So you have different standards based on your personal ideology? An elected official doesn’t gain a title for life, they get it for the duration of their service. If you wanted to call Gingrich a flip flopping LAWYER, that would make sense since that’s the Degree he has. Seems to me that Ron Paul is a Physician (Doctor), so what’s your problem with calling him Dr. Ron Paul? The elected label is the temporal one.

“Ron Paul leans a little too much towards isolationism to be realistic in my opinion.”
I agree 100%. That is one of only a few problems I have with Ron Paul.
I love Rep. Paul on his: honesty, consistent voting record, knowledge of the constitution, and how he sticks to his principles.
I cannot support him on his isolationistic (may not be a word) beliefs. I am a Marine. Understanding how military logistics work and how the strength of our military mainly comes from how fast we can strike, having foreign assets is key to this. There is fat to trim, yes. Abolish, no. I don’t follow him constitutionally on this. In the 20′s when this world was small, the U.S. could exist on its own. Since WWII our planet has grown small. It is absolutely essential they we maintain a proactive stance when it comes to National Security. Becoming reactive will only make us a stationary target.
I cannot agree with him on his beliefs on Drugs or the Border either.
Some of the issues he has taken a stance on weaken him on a national level, and reduce his credibility. Obama and the liberal progressive machine will have a field day with this. Not to mention that he has no swagger in his debate skills. He will lose the youth vote (as did McCain). He stands to lose the senior vote. The military will be divided. And as many have already mentioned in this post, he does not have a majority of the republican vote aside from his loyal followers.

Posted on December 5, 2011 at 12:32pmDr. Ron Paul (since it freaks people out to call him by his Degree) is NOT isolationist. He is in fact CONSTITUTIONALLY accurate as a non interventionalist.
Americans have been conditioned (intended to say brain washed) into believing the United States is “dependent” on protecting Nations that hate us, like, France, UK, Ireland, Italy, by spending a DIRECT 200 billion annually to be THEIR Military force. Spending X amount of dollars more on NATO, including giving those Nations in NATO some of the best weapons on the face of the earth, and placing fine young American men and women in harms way to be the worlds police force.
THAT type of foreign policy is what’s not Constitutional, and in fact treasonous against the Constitution. It was those types of foreign policy that led America its hated status in the world. Teddy Roosevelt, and Woodrow Wilson WANTED America to be the seat of the NWO which is CERTAINLY in defiance of their Constitutional MANDATE.
Those who lean toward a candidate because they want to “reign in” Iran, or any other Nation, lean toward abject communism as their will for rule. The sad part is that they do it because they are too lazy to read the Nations Charter, the Constitution, and other Founding intent doctrine such as the Federalist, and Anti-Federalist Papers.

You are correct. Non-interventionism is more accurate. Isolationism is not accurate in comparison. I apologize. *Thank you Wikipedia*: a foreign policy which holds that political rulers should avoid alliances with other nations, but still retain diplomacy, and avoid all wars not related to direct self-defense. I still personally do not believe in this concept. I also support your right to have your own opinion. In the effort to have a discussion, consider this:
Will our enemies avoid alliances? Will they avoid defending their allies when it doesn’t involve any direct threat? How many allies will we have when we avoid defending a single one of them?
Ask yourself this: What message will we send to our allies when we close down Korea? Guam? Japan? Germany? Do not simply answer for South Korea, Guam, Japan, and Germany either. (Korea is the only country who will be in immediate danger) Answer for Taiwan, Philippines, Malaysia, Mongolia, Ukraine, Poland, Serbia, Croatia, Israel, and any other country affected when American muscle is pulled from their delicate region. Those countries are current democracies because of American support. What will they be when left up to their own defense?

Posted on December 5, 2011 at 2:29pm@ Holy Ghostbuster, AMEN! The US Marine Corps is our expeditionary fighting force. It is their job in a time of war (along with the Navy that gives us a ride) to establish beachheads and forward bases. The Marines are not an occupying force and they are not intended to be. That is the Army’s job. I’ve had the honor of listening to more than one Commandant speak and every one of them has said that we should not be fighting protracted engagements and laments the fact that we are doing so now.
The Marine Corps does more with less and is younger with stronger backs than any other service with every member trained in marksmanship and combat. No other service puts such a priority on training for combat in all of its‘ MOS’s.
82nd, I knew that you were a neocon and you act like a scared child when it comes to war. You are not willing to take our bases out of foreign nations because we might “need” them when we finally start a war with them or their neighbor. That is nonsense and ignorance. If we are ever under an immediate threat we can now retaliate against a whole nation in under 4 hours with ICBM’s that are cruising the oceans worldwide. We can then use airpower against them to decimate their manufacturing capabilites and weapons caches within days giving us the week or so it would take for Marines to depart from the US and arrive roughly a week later to establish a position and then another week for seabees to build an airstrip assuming the Marines can’t take one

My fellow Marine, your observations are naive. You are right to say that our medical facilities in Germany have saved the life of many a service member, but why have they had to do so? That is the better question. And the answer is because wer are currently engaged in a war of attrition with an enemy fighting from their own home and all the while our service members are shackled by the ridiculous rules of engagement that go along with such a war as opposed to an act of total war. The reality is that if we were not fighting these endless foreign wars that are nothing more than an excuse for increased gov‘t spending and decreased citizens’ rights we wouldn‘t need the medical base in Germany because they wouldn’t have any patients. Is this really that hard to understand?
I know that you probably joined with the hope and intention of protecting your nation from a violent enemy and that like me you really long to be a part of the group of people who is enshrined in history books as being a great generation that saved the world from terrorism. But one day you will realize that that just simply is not reality. I respect you and your service as a only a brother can, but the truth is tough and hard to hear sometimes. Even if it is for the better. You have nothing to prove to me or anyone else. If you are active duty, your place as a Marine is not subject to whether you served on foreign soil in the line of fire. Once a Marine, always a Marine.

Apparently you old people think that you can still game us younger people. Do you really believe that we don’t have the capability to retaliate in hours if a foreign force invades our nation? This is not videogame BS I’m am telling you. It is reality. The only reason for “boots on the ground” is if we intend to occupy another nation. If our sole intent is our own survival and national defense we have GPS guided munitions that can be dropped from stealthy aircraft and satellite imaging on hand to coordinate strikes against the enemy’s manufacturing, warmaking, and energy producing facilities. We also have planes (prowler & growler) that can take out all but the most hardened of electrical systems with EMI making the bombing runs largely undeterred.
This is not videogame tactics. This is the same tactics that we used in Iraq 2x but with 20 years of upgraded technology at hand.

To be honest, this type of things happens all the time. This one happens to be public. Most are kept very quite. Huntsman and Paul know they will not get his blessing, so why waste the money going to it.

Posted on December 5, 2011 at 12:06am‘The Donald’ is a pretty generous campaign contributor when it comes to keeping liberals in office:
“Since the 1990 election cycle, the top 10 recipients of Trump’s political contributions number six Democrats and four Republicans. Embattled Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-N.Y.), who was censured last year by his U.S. House colleagues, has received the most Trump money, totaling $24,750. The most recent contribution from Trump to Rangel was a $10,000 gift during the 2006 election cycle.
In the most recent election cycle, Trump doled out $22,500 to political candidates, of which $16,200 benefited Democrats. ”

Posted on December 4, 2011 at 11:54pmThey think they are making an intelligent move dismissing Trump, which will be a costly miscalculation on their part b/c of his large following.
Pauls weak foreign policy will be hammered away by Trump and his CONSTANT invocation of the Constitution but never giving details as to what part of it he is talking about will not fly. He has been allowed far too long to play the Constitution card. Yes there are times we all know what part he is referring to but many dont. Other times he just lays a blanket claim of powers we have under it. Not even his own supporters are questioning him on this and that is concerning. The last time we had someone say what the people wanted to hear without ever questioning him we got a Marxist in the White House. Now we have a man on the opposite end of the political spectrum doing it again.
Paul has good intentions and is knowledgeable but this pulling the Constitution card without going into specifics to demonstrate what part of it he is talking about and just taking his word for it is old.
As far as Huntsman bailing that is because he has a “roll over” policy towards China. Trump has made it clear he is not fond of China “bullying” us. Granted they buy our debt but he makes some good points which you know he will go after Huntsman on.
Trump has a huge following to dismiss it is not wise. http://SavingtheRepublic.com

He just is a Rich Croni himself that does not want the status quo changed. Why would Paul go on a show where the questions would be designed to try and make him look bad? O’Reilly is the spin master on his no spin show. The only spin allowed on his show is his. This debate with Croni “The Donald” (Mr. arrogant) is just a way of trying to make the Croni’s look better. It is, as Paul said, beneath the office of the President. Also is the fact that “The Donald” still leaves open a possible run for POTUS.
