Bob Schieffer To Ron Paul: Minus Your People, I Don’t See Much Enthusiasm With The GOP Field

video
» 93 comments

On Face the Nation today, Bob Schieffer told Congressman Ron Paul that he agrees with the idea that Paul is a consistent, principled politician who believes what he says. And this has certainly given Paul a strong base of supporters in the caucuses and on the internet. But with the exception of Paul’s loyal following, are any Republicans really that enthusiastic about the presidential race given how lackluster they consider candidates like Mitt Romney to be?

RELATED: Ron Paul: ‘If Enthusiasm Wins Elections, We Win Hands Down!’

Paul noted an irony in both Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum for going after Romney as insufficiently conservative when the same accusation could just as easily apply to them. He blamed the media for not covering the social conservatives from that same angle as Romney, and said that he knows from personal and political experience that all three of them do not exactly have pure conservative streaks.

“All of them are rather typical of what’s wrong with the country, you know, that they don’t have firm convictions, and, of course, they’ve been rewarded, many people are rewarded for saying, ‘Well, don’t be overly rigid.’ Well, they’re very rigid in flip-flopping.”

Schieffer turned the discussion to voter enthusiasm and how much better Paul is at inspiring and mobilizing people than his Republican rivals. He told Paul that he sees the kind of people who come out in support for him, and they look very “committed.” Schieffer asked Paul why the other candidates just aren’t that good at it. Paul argued it was because of how lackluster their agendas are in comparison.

“I don’t think the other candidates are offering a lot of change. I think one of the most disturbing things, a couple of things the Republicans ought to be disturbed about, that they do not, other than myself, they’re not appealing to young people and other thing was that 20 percent of Republicans now are considering now that they either might stay at home or vote for Obama. And they are staying home for the primaries, so that means they’re not offering, you know, a real alternative. I think when people hear my message, they get excited about it.”

Paul again struck the difference between him and his rivals by emphasizing their interest in the status quo in contrast with his political beliefs.

    Spats here. Bob has his finger on the pulse of the public, and he ain’t no doc.

    Libs like Bob and me know that we have to keep putting down the Rep candidates to distract from our lawless leader and his scandals and failures. Taking on the Roman Catholic Church is about as stupid a thing as he has done yet. But, what can we do, run Joe Biden? 
    Bob also thinks we need to bring back stagecoaches to save on fuel, but only high speed stagecoaches.

    Ron Paul what a F—ing Joke!!!!!

    1. Zero wins thus far, and fewer delegates then even Newt

    2. Being anti-Semitic is only popular in the Democrat party.

    3. Being an Hysterical fear monger of banks is not a strategy to get elected.

    4. Ron Paul learned all of his foreign policy from an ostrich with it’s head stuck in the ground. True story.

    5. Ron Paul want’s everyone to live next to a meth addict or crack head. 

    6. Little Ron Paul has spent years in Washington and got absolutely
    nothing done. Except plenty of ear marks for Texas. But some how if we
    elect him president he will all the sudden be able to accomplish all his
    goals.

    7. All of his supporters are nothing but simple impressionable drug addicts who hysterically fear banks, war and Israel.

    8. So please go back to your Kelly Clarkson CDs and leave us true conservatives alone!!!!!!!!

    This public service announcement was brought to you by the Ron Paul Free Authentic Republican Party.

    Nothing like a true neo-con to keep you focused. We let good ol’ Bush/Cheney hijack the party, it ain’t ever going to happen again.  Ever.  Mark my words.  The next republican president of this country will either be ron paul or some who supports the message of ron paul.

    It must be tough knowing that Paul is a constitutional conservative.  The highest type of conservative.  You know, the one that actually upholds the REPUBLIC rather than destroy it and cater to a mob democracy and a leviathan of a federal gov’t.

    People on the left generally aren’t the ones running down Ron Paul the most, it’s people on the right who’re afraid that a fiscal conservative/social moderate may have some appeal beyond the usual republican base and may eat into the vote for Romney should he run as a third party candidate.

    I think this articles headline is misleading. If you listen to the interview, Bob Shiffer is not bashing Ron Paul at all but rather asking him why the other candidates do not have such an enthusiastic base.
    .

  • http://www.facebook.com/rh1992 Ron Ho

    1. Zero wins is right, but the only candidate who has a real lead is Romney from the 50 bound Florida delegates. Most of the delegates from the other states are unbound. 

    2. Is he anti-semitic because he repeats what Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel says? Or because he wants to cut foreign aid to all nations, including Israel? 

    3. Is being a fear monger of foreign countries a better strategy? Probably, because the masses will buy into the rhetoric of smooth-talking politicians. 

    4. In the past year he got more than SIX TIMES the donations from military personnel than Romney, Gingrich, and Santorum did COMBINED. And THREE TIMES that of Obama. He supports the troops and the troops support him. His foreign policy is also backed by experts from the CIA, DoD, and military, like Michael Scheuer, Douglas MacGregor, Philip Giraldi, and MANY more. Who supports the foreign policy of the other candidates? No one except for them and their buddies. 

    5. You mean Ron Paul wants to leave the decisions of civil liberties to the states, as specified by the 10th Amendment. Besides, I wouldn’t care if my neighbor smoked weed, did cocaine, or was gay. As long as we get along, great! If not, then as long as he doesn’t impose his personal habits on me! What’s the big deal here? 

    6. He has passed legislation that revealed $16 trillion in bailouts by the Federal Reserve. He has often stood alone or been one of few to vote against unconstitutional, wasteful legislation. As commander in chief, Ron Paul would be able to unilaterally effect changes in our foreign policy and military, saving a LOT of money. You can be damn sure he will also use his veto to block unconstitutional (NDAA??) or unnecessary legislation. See more: http://www.lewrockwell.com/paul/paul647.html

    7. That’s like saying all of Gingrich’s supporters are dirty, lying, hypocritical men who cheat on their wives. Are you calling Ron Paul’s large base of honorable military personnel and veterans drug addicts as well? Ron Paul’s supporters are the most informed voters out there, and usually know more about Romney, Gingrich, or Santorum than their respective supporters do! 

    8. Ron Paul is the most conservative in the race.

  • Anonymous

    Anti-Semetic. What a fraudulent word. We know from the bible parable of the good sumeritan the Arabs were derived from the semites and its a big maybe whether the Jews were. Why don’t you bite the bullet and call Ron Paul AntiJewish or anti Israelis? Isn’t that what you mean?  I’ll tell you why. Because you and your ilk are trying to make it a racial issue instead of a religious issue.  You sneaky little ugly hypocrite. Peddle your venim somewhere else.

    I hate to break it to you there Bud, but you need to educate yourself on a few things but, until then let me do it for you. 
    1) Santorum has zero delegates. Only three states so far have handed out delegates; New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Florida. The other states had what are called “caucus” elections and the delegates for those states will not be awarded until May or June. 2) Mr. Paul is a Libertarian leaning conservative and therefore it is impossible to be anti-Semitic or racist. See, Libertarians believe in equal freedom of all. 3) The Federal Reserve is dictating the value of paper money through supply and demand. Our dollars have no true value. As the Fed continues to intentionally devalue the currency it causes inflation which means it costs more money for you to buy things than it used to. 4) It amazing that the people (like you) want to continually fight wars around the world, yet I’m guessing you’ve never been to war. Have you!? I have, Afghanistan Jan to Aug 2009. I even have a nice little scar I get to keep for the rest of life. 5) Mr. Paul believes it is up to the states to decide what they drug policies should be. Its called the 10th amendment of the Bill of Rights. You should read it some time. 6) Ron Paul is the only person in Congress who consistently votes in line with the Constitution like our Congressmen ans Senators are supposed to. 7) Ron Paul how more supporters in the military than Romney, Santorum, Gingrich, and Obama COMBINED! I know because I am one of them. 8) YOU ARE NOT CONSERVATIVE! You are an uneducated ass who needs to read the Constitution and rethink you political alignment because you are flat wrong. Since when is it “conservative” to vote to raise the debt ceiling 6 times, to get caught cheating on two wives, or to have the national health care bill be modeled after their state’s model! 

    The only person in this race that is even close to being a true conservative is Ron Paul. Do you homework.

    You haven’t watched MSNBC much (and I don’t blame you if you haven’t), but most of the left media are the hardest on Paul because I think they see him as the only threat to another Obama administration.

    The GOP has picked Romney to be their man, so whether Obama or Romney wins, nothing changes. The fact that both guys share the same financial backers is enough to draw that conclusion.

    Ok if Anti-Semitic is not good enough for you, then Ron Paul= Anti Jewish and Anti Israel, was that better.  And don’t blame my side it was his news letters and his policies that are Anti-Semitic.

    When the Ron Paul Hundredth Monkey Effect finally catches, there’ll be no stopping it!
    ________________________________
    Ninety-Nine Monkeys For Ron Paul!

    This process by which we select
    Our President that we will elect
    Has yielded this Year
    The neocons worst fear:
    The Ron Paul Hundredth Monkey Effect!

    No matter how hard the media tries
    To make Paul look bad in our eyes
    We know his program’s correct
    ‘Cause we think and walk erect
    And know the media only tells lies!

    They’re reduced to trying to dissect
    Paul on some old newsletter subject
    But these media whores
    Ignore neocon wars
    And the Constitution they never protect.

    They speak death to Paul’s message of Life
    ‘Cause they only know how to sow strife
    But now masses reject
    CNN’s neocon disrespect
    And FOX news is, in reality, the Devil’s wife

    So we howl and we hoot at their ire
    For we know that their only desire
    Is to see America wrecked
    But now even presstitutes detect
    That Paul’s campaign has unquenchable fire!

    I agree with you, Scott. It seems the Left is content with Romney (after all – he is the godfather ObamaCare). You should look at the way former Obama supporters come out in force on the most liberal websites like NYTimes on any article on Paul. If it’s Romney or Frothy – couple of comments and it dies. Paul – different story. Probably because they know the independents and the youth are more with Paul than they are with Barry.

  • Anonymous

    Ok let me explain the military support for little Paul:

    1.I do not give a shit about what a bunch of uneducated cowards in the military who are afraid to do there job say about little Ron.

    2. The economy is so bad a lot of people sign up for the military just to provide for their family. They have no intention of fighting in a real war.

    3.Two words: Volunteer military!!!!!!!!!!! That means do not sign up if you are afraid to go to war.

    4.Lincoln also received the lowest active military support during his election, yet was in my opinion was the best commander and chief we ever had.

    5.The military does not decide national policy or who and when we go to war with. And no one even counts their votes anyway.  

    But whatever, if you Ron Paul supporters want some more of Obama just keep on making our party look stupid.

  • Joe McPlumber

    I didn’t get that at all and it’s not what the headline says. Because it’s a fact, Republicans as a whole are *not* worked up about this race because, with the exception of Ron Paul, the candidates are uninspiring and unlikely to beat the President.

    Yes, it’s circular in a way because what it means is that if more people supported Ron Paul then more people would support the Republican presidential effort.

    I actually heard that Frothy has 9 delegates at this point (which is fewer than Paul, in any case). You should check out Adam Kokesh interview with Rasmusen (he worked for RP in 08) on this delegate issue.

    I still don’t understand how Ron Paul has escaped responsibility for the
    insanely racist, paranoid, militia-friendly newsletters that were
    published UNDER HIS NAME. It’s simply not enough to walk away from them
    and say that because he didn’t actually write this garbage — even
    though he distributed it — he gets to evade culpability.

    And just FYI: why has Fox News — which practically made Reverend Wright and
    Bill Ayers household names by promoting their shaky relationships to
    Obama — been pretty much silent on this scandal? Where is the outrage
    about Ron Paul on the “fair and balanced” channel? Why aren’t these
    newsletters being featured around the clock the way the Reverend Wright
    clips were in 2008?

    What you are seeing are what the pundits are projecting. Those are the unbound delegates that have not been awarded to anyone and in reality don’t have to support the person their state may or may not have voted for. I found this website to be the best http://www.thegreenpapers.com It lays out how each state’s election is run and the delegation process.

    And Tell me Sean Hannity fan conservative or fake  conservative what has Romney, Newt done in  Washington? from what i hear they to haven’t got anything done either that includes newt.

    As for Rick Santorum in Washington, Santorum was named as One of The Three Most Corrupt Senators in 2006.

    (7. All of his supporters are nothing but simple impressionable drug addicts who hysterically fear banks, war and Israel.)

    Is that a rant? because if it is your sadly wrong the Ron Paul supporters aren’t   drug addicts who hysterically fear banks, war and Israel.

    And Oh whats this? you support the impressionable Corrupt banks? that were very much responsible for the foreclosures?

    And as for  Israel tell me are the American  candidates running for America or Israel? shouldn’t the candidates put there interest first upon the american people before Israel?
    If not then that would mean that Israel has control over the candidates like as they do have the control over CNN and other news networks.

    (8. So please go back to your Kelly Clarkson CDs and leave us true conservatives alone!!!!!!!!)

    What true conservatives? GW Bush era conservatives, Reagen era conservatives? war monger conservatives who would love nothing more then a world war three to happen?

    Ok Neocon Tell me this After Iraq What then? Take Over Canada? Russia Maybe?  its no wonder why people hate conservatives when they speak like you do, mentally ill.

    As Commander & Chief he can do aplenty. As for the rest he could always do like the others before him… just do it without Congressional approval and/or evoke Executive Order #whatever .7. All of his supporters are nothing but simple impressionable drug addicts who hysterically fear banks, war and Israel.

    That’s wrong. From the Guardian in December:

    “Why don’t you go back and look at what I said yesterday on CNN and
    what I’ve said for 20 something years. 22 years ago?” He told CNN’S
    Gloria Borger on Wednesday. “I didn’t write them, I disavow them. That’s
    it.” He insisted that “I never read that stuff,” before taking off his mic and storming off
    when Borger continued to ask him about the issue, referring to one
    newsletter that speculated on whether Israelis carried out the 1993
    World Trade Center bombing.

    But his explanation is still
    relatively incomplete. As USA Today’s Jackie Kucinich noted on Thursday,
    when Paul responded to a similar controversy over the newsletters in a
    1996 interview with the Dallas Morning News, he said that he was indeed
    aware of some of the offending passages, and even offered explanations
    as to the thinking behind them. For example, he said a passage
    suggesting that “given the inefficiencies of what DC laughingly calls
    the criminal justice system, I think we can safely assume that 95% of
    the black males in that city are semi-criminal or entirely criminal,”
    was based on outside research.

    Among the younger veterans of the past 10+ years of “nation building” and “searching for WMDs” – yeah. Not sure about the older ones though. Hard to say – will see on President’s Day in DC if the older ones join.

    That his most notable endorsement is Kelly Clarkson, who is a pretty girl. Oh yeah and also the cowards in the volunteer military that are afraid to go to war.

    “3. Being an Hysterical fear monger of banks is not a strategy to get elected.”

    Evidently you have no idea what Goldman Sachs has been up to for the past decade, everything from running the U.S. Treasury to manipulating the economic statistics of Greece to get them into the Eurozone.  Get a clue and do something that you neocons fear the most, educate yourself.

    The only candidate who has the right bold ideas is Ron Paul and, only Ron Paul can beat Obama.

    If, Ron Paul gets the GOP nomination: Ron Paul gets the following voters:

    (A) 2008 Obama voters who thought they were going to get ‘Change’
    (B) 2008 Obama voters who voted to end the wars.
    (C) The VAST majority of the Independent vote, 
    (D) The entire GOP voting block who dislikes Obama enough to vote for Ron Paul instead. 
    (E) Ron Paul supporters coming out to vote in DROVESand, a machine like no other for the General Elections!  (No other candidate can compete against Obama’s machine but Ron Paul!  Wake Up People!)
    (F) Same-sex couples who want to be set free.
    (G) Democratic, disillusioned Anti-Drug war voters.
    (H) Libertarians.
    (I) Youth Vote (Obama has lost them to Ron Paul but, if RP does not get the nomination, they will go back to Obama)

    Also, keep in mind, that the Independents have the largest voting block in this country.  Republicans and Democrats are the minorities.  For the GOP to attack the only candidate on the GOP ticket that can beat Obama is truly insane!

    The GOP did not learn anything from 2008.  They keep doing the same thing over and over expecting different results!  Only idiots do that!

    Listen up MINORITY GOP…If, you do not get behind Ron Paul, YOU WILL get 4 more years of Obama!  GUARANTEED!!!!!!!!

    No Ron Paul supporter will vote for any other GOP Candidate.  Independents will go back to Obama as will the disenfranchised Democrats and the youth vote!

    “If the Republican Party nominates a draft-avoiding, crony-capitalist, anti-gun, pro-choice, socialized-medicine candidate over a strict free-market Constitutionalist who served his country and carries our his political office with integrity, then the Republican party might as well change its symbol from an elephant to a wooly-mammoth now because that party will become extinct.”

    I’ve been reading your comments on this thread- you’ve been at this for several hours. You are not a nice person, My Cold Dead Hands. Every post you make is filled with malice, hate, disrespect, labeling, name-calling, and lies. I hope that your reason for posting such vileness is simply to get people riled up and not because you are really this rotten of a human being. Try being honest and optimistic (for a change) and help make this world a better place.

    Sorry dude, but it’s you neocons who are the gutless ones. Did my part. Cut em down like wheat for mealy mouthed cowards such as you. Watched BOTH sides slaughter whole families in central america….for the TV cameras. Where were you? Hiding under mommas skirt? Now you want us all to be as afraid of Iran as you are. Two frigates and four destroyers. That’s their navy. But, poor widdle you is so SKEERED!!!! Poland could kick their butt. We have 11 supercarrier groups, ICBMs, nuclear submarines, 10,000+ nuclear weapons…..and still you’re scared. You must have a yellow streak the size of a four lane highway running up your backside. Who knows, maybe one day you will grow a pair with hair on em, but right now for you to call our soldiers cowards is the height of insanity. I suppose you would call Douglas McArthur a coward for saying, “The soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war.” Forgot that one didn’t you BRAVE MAN!!!!!

    NO ONE BUT PAUL MONEY BOMB FEBRUARY 14TH!

    http://noonebutpaul.com

    Ron Paul is winning the race- behind the scenes, with the most precinct delegates of any other candidate! Why? Because despite not having the MILLIONS in Goldman Sachs and SuperPAC dollars, Ron Paul supporters are committed to saving this nation from economic collapse and the destruction of our Constitution– and are willing to get involved at EVERY level of the process!

    Join the fight for our nation and donate anything you can to Ron Paul for the win!!

    Our goal is to raise 3million in under 24 hours! The biggest One-day fundraiser of the 2012 campaign! Remember that purchases from the campaign store count as a contribution, so purchase issue cards to hand out to your neighbors and wear a ron paul hat, hoody and pin every day!

    This election will be won with neighbors talking to neighbors, not by staring at the TV and wondering why they never talk about anything important to the American public!!!!  So spread the word!

    Repost this EVERYWHERE!!! WE NEED YOU TO HELP US RESTORE AMERICA NOW!!!

    Desperate times call for desperate measures.  I will vote for the candidate that can quickly take us in as opposite a direction as possible from Obama.

    Right now, that person is Ron Paul and I don’t see anyone challenging him who feels as strongly about SMALL GOVERNMENT and restoring our personal liberties and freedom. 

    I came to this conclusion after hearing RP’s interview on POTUS (Satellite Radio) over the weekend. He is Obama’s/Soros’s WORST nightmare.  Also, if I were a lifetime politician, a lobbyist, a union leader, or a lawyer, I’d be worried…..

    Phil Stanley, I’m with ya now,,,,    Came to my senses over the weekend when I realized that Ron Paul is unwavering (and has been for 30 years) on his “less government is better” positions….

    RON PAUL IS OBAMA’S WORST NIGHTMARE, so let’s get him elected!!  I am throwing my full support (donation, grass roots help) behind him starting today.

    Well, it took me awhile, but I finally realized that I couldn’t bring myself to vote for Mitt, Newt or Santurom, so I’m throwing everything I got behind Mr. Paul!!  The truth became clear to me over the weekend while everyone was “shocked” by Whitney’s demise….

    I am “reborn”, thank you very much Mr. Paul!!

    Where was this kind of vetting of Candidate Obama?  I guess everyone just took his word for things, huh?

    One thing I know FOR SURE:  Obama is running this country over a cliff, I believe intentionally, RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW. 

    Something Ron Paul MIGHT HAVE SAID 15 years ago is so incredibly unimportant when compared to his voting record and his stance on smaller government and the absolute TRAMPLING of our consitutional liberties and freedom. 

    Paul says he disavows something?  Paul says a figure was based on outside research?  Hell, let’s give HIM the benefit of the doubt since he didn’t have people scrambling to seal tight everything he’s ever done.  At least Paul has a record to study!!

    No one is a perfect candidate, but Obama is trying to destroy everything for which this great country stands!!

     Let me venture a guess here Cold Dead Hands… you’re one of those tunnel-visioned end-timers who believe in the carte blanche relationship with Israel and anything goes in the Middle East as long as all dem dirty Muslims are wiped out…  am I close?

    Not much else seems to draw such deep-seated hatred of Ron Paul.. It’s the return of the Crusades for Evangelical extremists, and anyone who dares to question “the religious PLAN” in the Middle East is a disgusting Heathen.   How am I doin Dead Hands??  Gettin warmer?

    I’ll assume you were in the service in the Middle East. Maybe not. Did you get to wear the traditional Crusader costume with the big metal shield , the long white robe, the headgear and the huge sword, or did you just get standard issue military garb?

    Of course the younger generation is for Ron Paul, it’s their future. They don’t want to be paying for Obama’s social programs and social security, which they may never collect when they retire. The older generation and the military are also for Ron Paul, there is no future in starting wars and bankrupting the country.

    Go to war, for what ? Our country hasn’t been threatened since WW2. Every war since has been a political war. Our troops are dying for the politicians and big business, 38,000 Korea, 56,000 VietNam and over 5,000 in Iraq and Afghanistan. All died because our stupid politicians can’t mind their own business and get us involved in unnecessary wars. Fighting for your country and freedom is one thing, but fighting for  politicians and big business is just plain stupid. We need a president with common sense like Ron Paul, he isn’t owned by anyone or any party.
