Former GE CEO Jack Welch Says Ron Paul Should Drop Out: ‘He’s Not A Party Regular’

video
» 204 comments

Former GE CEO Jack Welch and his wife Suzy appeared on CNN’s Starting Point and told host Soledad O’Brien that they were calling upon Ron Paul to drop out of the race — although all of their kids were for Ron Paul!

“You know, Ron Paul’s followers are not party regulars. He’s not a party regular. He really has these very, very impassioned followers. All four of our children are huge Ron Paul followers,” Suzy acknowledged. “So we’re living with this.”

Suzy Welch’s startling admission that they were asking Paul to drop out in spite of the fact that he had captured the imagination of her own kids ended up overshadowing the rest of the interview. The revelation caught the attention of CNN contributor David Frum, who was sitting on set, and tweeted incredulously about the news.

    All 4 of your children are huge Ron Paul followers, ALL 4.  So again, who should drop out?

    In other words, they find their own kids annoying as hell and just wish they’d stop.

    Suzy clearly love Jack, for the guy he is.  She doesn’t care about the mansions, vacations, yachts, and the content of his will.

    I’m surprised at how short sighted Jack Walch is.
    As a business man he should see Ron Paul for what he is…the only viable future of the GOP. If democracy is the “free market” of ideas, then the only GOP candidate with a growing, cross party audience (i.e. customers) is Ron Paul – he is taking votes from the democrats, particularly the youth vote which is a good indication of which direction the party should head.  The neo-clowns in the GOP, as history has proven, only cause the party to lose elections.
    If he looked at his own children as potiental customers for the GOP, then why would he want to turn them away?

    Of course Jack Welch wants him to drop out, what Ron Paul stands for threatens their globalization and having Govt in their pockets.

    As someone who was part of GE, probably help set up and lobbied for a favorable tax code on their business. He should be supporting Ron Paul who has the ridiculous idea of 0% taxes.

    I think the point is the fact that he is not a regular party member.  The Republicans need to understand and Senator Demint does.  You need the libertarians in your group.  If we don’t start getting what we want we will eventually split and take the Republican Party with us.  Look at the numbers, the GOP has been losing membership for years.  Time to shake it up.

    Ron Paul 2012!   GE and Welch are scared of Ron Paul because they wouldn’t be able to get their sweet government deals! 

    Their OWN kids support RON PAUL!   LOL   

    It actually pretty amusing the Ron Paul dominates in the 18-40 year old demographic, and then has little support of the 65+ – Wonder why that maybe…?  Could it be that these people just don’t give a crap about the long term future and would just like to maintain the statuesque in fear that their hand outs will be in jeopardy…?   Ron Paul has put forth the only plan that will save these old timers benefits and they are too old and set in their ways to understand that CHANGE is what we need!

    DOWN WITH THE ESTABLISHMENT!

    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
    Ron 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 really the Devil’s wife

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

    I like Ron Paul except for some of his foreign policy ideas. What I like most about him is he says exactly what he means and sticks with it.

    My favorite recent Ron Paul quote was in reference to the US just only getting a “little involved” in Libya: “I have been a doctor for a long time and I could never tell a patient she was only a little pregnant.”

    But over all this guy is a complete moron…….to hell with you noob, Ron has the same chance at winning as the other 3 and infact probably more so that those 3…..you sir are only looking out to protect your wallet……..time to put your other foot in the grave and stop this half ass shit….

    Actually that is the FORMER CEO of GE.

    And the 4 kids are not “theirs” but rather his from a former marriage
    (his first) much like Newt, he is currently on wifeoid #3, to wit:

    [Jack Welch] had four children with his first wife, Carolyn. They
    divorced amicably in April 1987 after 28 years of marriage. His second
    wife, Jane Beasley, was a former mergers-and-acquisitions lawyer. She
    married Jack in April 1989, and they divorced in 2003. While Welch had
    crafted a prenuptial agreement, Beasley insisted on a ten-year time
    limit to its applicability, and thus she was able to leave the marriage
    with an amount believed to be in the range of $180 million.[15]

    Welch’s third wife, Suzy Wetlaufer, co-authored his 2005 book Winning
    as Suzy Welch. Wetlaufer served briefly as the editor-in-chief of the
    Harvard Business Review. Welch’s wife at the time, Jane Beasley, found
    out about an affair between Wetlaufer and Welch. Beasley informed the
    review and Wetlaufer was forced to resign[16] in early 2002 after
    admitting to having been involved in an affair with Welch while
    preparing an interview with him for the magazine. (Source)

    Meanwhile, she used to work for (wait for it)… Bain & Co.

    She started her career as a reporter with the Miami Herald and then
    with the Associated Press. After business school, her professional
    experience included several years at Bain & Company, a management
    consulting firm based in Boston, where she focused on manufacturing
    clients. She later was named editor in chief of the Harvard Business
    Review. Although she has written a novel, she is probably best known as
    the writer and editor of numerous books and articles dealing with
    leadership, organizational change, and human resource management. (Source)

    These two are just PARAGONS of “virtue,” and we can be certain that average Americans will want to follow their example.

    Oh… and I almost forgot “damned stupid kids!” (One wonders if the 4 sons would DARE to go on TV in response… or if they would face “retribution” for doing so.)

You KNOW they are always talking about the next best video and what not. These parents are just fed up with listening to it. Which is good – because that means they are close to giving in (maybe in secret) but giving in none the less…The R3VOLution is not going away. Eventually like these two – the MSM and the rest of the GOP will see that and succumb. Bullies don’t like being that way- they just don’t know how to be different. That is why we have Ron Paul. That is why he will be POTUS. Ron Paul 2012!!

    So I bet you like Jesus too, except for his idea of loving your neighbor and doing unto others as you’d have done unto you.  We all need to wake up and understand that our current foreign policy of intervention and empire has been the same since WWII.  Every terrorist attack we’ve ever had has been under our current foreign policy.  Why is this so hard for people to understand?  We couldn’t possibly suffer consequences for our actions could we?

    If you want to protect your home do you purchase a security system and maybe even a security guard?  OR Do you hire mercenaries to invade and occupy all your neighbors’ homes, harrassing them and telling them how to live their lives? Don’t you think this would incite retaliation against you?  Of course it would.  The first statement qualifies as defense.  The second statement is our foreign policy.

    Its funny how your the rhetoric people baselessly use with their kids ends up backfiring on them.  These people are not for free market, liberty and lower taxes.  They are for the establishment and whatever it wants.  However they use words likes these as reasons why they support the Republican party. Yet they don’t really believe the words coming out of their mouths.  They just tell their children thinking that one day they will understand too.  Well the kids definitely picked up on it.  The sad part is the kids are smart enough to see the truth while the parents are selling the country out from under their kids noses.

    So what part of “some of his foreign policy ideas,” was elusive. This is the problem – there are no absolutes.

    I only partly agree that our foreign policy has led to terror attacks. Our endless intervention is indeed a part of that problem, but it is like blaming the weapon for the crime. Our repeated interventions serve to inflame and become an excuse for those that wish us harm already in the same way that the kitchen knife becomes the weapon of a person already bent on violence.

    I agree that we need to keep our military and intel out of the business of regime change and such. However, isolationism is a bad thing.

    By the way, I am Jewish. Our version of that rule reads “Do not unto others as you would not have them do unto you.” This fits your theory better.

    America keeps making the mistake of doing nice things for other nations and expecting nice in return, which we usually do not get.

    As I said, I like Paul, except for SOME of his foreign policy ideas.

    “I’m surprised at how short sighted Jack Welch is.”

    Ditto. Especially considering that the agenda Ron Paul is pushing (reduced government spending and waste, limited war, more choice and civil liberty (although here, I like Gary Johnson better)) is definitely one worth continuing–regardless if that means victory at the polls doesn’t come for a couple of cycles–and (you’re correct) the only viable way forth for the GOP.

If you want other SS recipients to know the truth, that Ron Paul is the only one that is really going to help them, then find ways to get the message out to them, rather than making them feel like they are nothing but a burden. You won’t win them over that way.

    They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety,
    deserve neither liberty nor safety. – Benjamin Franklin
    Government is not reason; it is not eloquence; it is force. Like fire, it is a
    dangerous servant and a fearful master. – George Washington
    Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations; entangling alliances
    with none. – Thomas Jefferson
    A wise and frugal government which shall restrain men from injuring one another,
    which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry
    and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has
    earned. This is the sum of good government. – Thomas Jefferson
    The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain
    ground. – Thomas Jefferson
    The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to
    others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods,
    or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg. – Thomas Jefferson

    All of those quotes sound a lot like modern libertarianism.

    Well, one highlight of GE speaking for the Republican Party would be on Election Night 2000, when so many NBC News employees reported then GE Chairman and uber Republican Jack Welsh going ballistic on the studio floor, yelling at Tom Brokaw demanding that he declare Florida for Bush, that the House of Representatives subpeona’d the raw camera tapes from the broadcast night to investigate if this claim. NBC fought the request.   The subpeona was withdrawn a few days after 9/11 in a show of support for Bush.   I’d say that was GE speaking for the Republican Party.

    And before you claim that GE now uses NBC to speak for the Dems, remember that GE sold controlling interest in NBC/Universal to Comcast in 2009.

    WHY would Ron Paul drop out, when he is the only candidate other than Romney who has qualified for every state ballot so far?  Gingrich didn’t even qualify for Virginia, where he presently lives and is ineligible for over 560 delegates.  Santorum is in even worse shape, not qualifying for races accounting for over 700 delegates.  There is nothing wrong with the Paul campaign that substantiation of his foreign policy wouldn’t cure, and he has that substantiation from a range of foreign policy and military experts.  WHY the Ron Paul campaign has not drawn from this substantiation is THE question of this election cycle. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08aFAnZYp2U&list=UUQB7GremTkZDH1FI9-YIiFw&index=1&feature=plcp

    I don’t agree with most of Ron Paul’s domestic policies (they are too far toward social Darwinism for me) but I think having an icon of corporate corruption like Jack Welch flipping out over his candidacy is another indicator at just how uncynical Ron Paul is in his beliefs.  He doesn’t flip flop around to curry corporate favor or financing.  Admittedly I’ll probably vote with mixed feelings for Obama (corporate centrist) because I do think keeping the social safety net in place is vital to who we are as a society, but I do appreciate having Ron Paul’s consistency and clarity in the discussion.

    Keeva, we have intervened in foreign countries all over the world and installed our puppet governments and supported them with our foreign aid while turning a blind eye to the atrocities they committed against their people as long as we felt that they served our strategic interest in key areas of the world.  We have done so in Asia, the Middle East and South America, Saddam Huessein was one of these puppets.  We have found ourselves in trouble because of such policy.  Paul is calling us to live to our principles and allow our example of liberty be the example to the world that would lead citizens of oppressed countries to the Arab Springs of the future.  We have lost our ability to this as we do not live to the principles that we expouse, to the contrary we have a history of supporting dictators and mass murders as we felt that it furthered our goal within particular regions of the world…  the citizens of these countries hardly trust the US to be anything other than another imperialistic tyrannical state.  And why should they if we only value our own freedoms and would deny them theirs?

    Thanks for the honesty. We’re all on the same side. Emotions run high whenever you get behind something or someone you really believe in. At this point, Dr. Paul would not touch any of the safety nets currently in place. He understands that we don’t have a free market or a sound currency which is what any healthy economy needs. People will often ask him questions about what he believes the role of government “ought to be” and he’ll give a philosophical answer. Don’t let them confuse what he believes “should be” in the long run with what he would do as president.

    Perhaps your “Social Darwinism” fears would be addressed if you formulated your opinions after fully reading his books rather than try and understand through sound-bites.  Every Ron Paul supporter, many of whom, like myself, voted for Bush twice.  We donned our Red Jersey’s and went to work.

    Understand this.  Every single one of us has undergone a transition…a transition away from the propaganda thought that has been ingrained in us from birth.  It ain’t an easy raod to take because your whole belief system is challenged…as your social Darwinism remark attests.

    Take the challenge yourself.  Read his books: The Revolution a manifesto, and Liberty Defined.  You may just find you become a Social Darwinian” yourself.  They will certainly make you think more than an MSM spin job will do and you will find that you had a lot of assumptions rolling around in your head that may have to be addressed.

    I’m glad you (mostly) like Ron Paul :). As for his foreign policy, I’m not sure how ‘opening up trade with Cuba’ counts as isolationism. It would sure be a breath of fresh air, compared to what we do nowadays. Our ‘policies’ in the Middle East are nuts.

    I love how people say ‘support our troops’ and then turn a blind eye to the overwhelming support that THOSE SAME TROOPS are giving to Dr Paul. Not saying you’re doing this, but the very mindset is staggering. Presumably, being able to see what’s going on firsthand, these people have a better understanding of what effect our foreign policy is having on these countries. They want to come home, to stop letting their lives and honor be thrown away by government contractors in bed with our politicians. I don’t blame them.By the way, Paul’s foreign policy is the thing I MOST admire about the man. The rest is great too, but I see any implementation coming only after much stonewalling, etc, by Congress. The foreign policy can be put into play right away, though, and I would dearly love to see that happen.

    One of the things I like about his policy is opening Cuba. That pointless, ineffective 50 year old failed embargo stands as one of our dumbest foreign policy moves ever. It is kept in place despite all evidence it is opposite effectiveness by cowardly politicians like Obama, Gingrich and Romney.

    I live in South Florida and can only imagine the economic benefits to here of trade with Cuba. Sadly it does not happen thanks to a relatively small bit vocal group of refugees that refuse to acknowledge the reality that the embargo is a huge failure and punishes the actual Cuban people while rewarding Castro with the ability to blame America for every problem.

    In a profoundly parallel era, Jack and Suzy Welch would have been British Loyalists, convinced that their children’s membership in the Sons of Liberty was a passing fad, soon to be outgrown. It is no more possible for the political establishment to “give” voice and dignity to Ron Paul and the liberty movement than it would have been for King George to impart already-existing voice and dignity to Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and the patriots. To the patriots of this century, there is no discernible difference between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney. The political establishment has nothing to offer them, but to depart from the playing field more quietly than King George.

    The same GE that has Jeffrey Immelt in bed with the current administration? The progressive-corporatist system was erected by your ideological ancestors during the New Deal/Progressive eras. Corporatist measures (mandates, state-santioned cartels–see Federal Reserve, public-private partnerships, subsidies, etc.) all increased greatly during those periods. Both parties have played around the edges of that structure ever since.

    The parties only vigorously debate along a narrow band of establishment opinion. That is our so-called choice. They are both corporatist parties. Corporatism is when the govt. and connected firms attempt to centrally plan the economy. There is nothing free market about it.

    Again, this system came out of the progressive era. Observe the results.

    I’m less perplexed by Jack Welch here than I am by David Frum. So Frum is actually surprised that four youthful Republicans are Paul supporters? Has he not been reading any polls?

    You know, I’m not sure the Frums of the world grasp what is ahead in the next several years.

    The GOP is going to nominate Romney as its presidential candidate.

    That candidate is going to lose to Barack Obama.

    A significant and potent third party is going to emerge.

    And this development will finally, at last, conclusively, mercifully settle the Rockefeller-Goldwater schism that has existed within the Republican Party for half a century. 

    And the irony? The “Republican Party” that remains will actually be the Republican Party as it is currently caricatured by the left: the province of old, moneyed people seeking to protect their interests.

    The new third party will be what that the current Republican Party pretends to be: a bastion of individual liberty, grounded in Constitutional principles and proud of America’s role as humanity’s greatest moral achievement.

    David Frum can scratch his head all he wants right now. The new reality will be clear to him soon enough.

America was a great country once and can be again if we get all the corrupt politicians out of office and get rid of the lobbyist. Back in the 50′s the president was respected almost as much as God. There was corruption then, but nothing like today. 249 members of congerss are millionairs today, most of them were not when they took office. The senate is composed of mostly all lawyers that cannot be trusted. The older generation made it possible for your freedom which is now slowly being taken away by our corrupt government.

    No matter what the media wants you to believe, It’s already a two-man race. 
    Of the 2,286 total Republican delegates, 1,144 are needed to win nomination. 
    In five (5) States: Virginia, Missouri, Ohio, Tennessee and Illinois, Gingrich and Santorum are not even on the ballot. That’s 564 delegates that they cannot get. 

    After South Carolina, only 59 delegates have been allocated to the 4 candidates. Mitt Romney has 39 of those. This means Santorum or Gingrich has to pick up 1,144 delegates from the remaining 1,683. 

    Let’s say that Paul only picks up 20% of the total number of delegates–I happen to believe he will do much better–but let’s pick 20%. That’s 457 delegates for Paul. Add that to the 564 that Newt and Santorum won’t have a shot at and now there are 1,021 delegates that Santorum and Gingrich have no chance of getting. Subtract that 1,021 from the total 2,286 and you’re left with 1,265 delegates. That means that Gingrich and Santorum, one or the other, have to pick up over 90% of the available delegates to get the nomination. So, essentially, we’re down to Paul and Romney. 

    A vote for Gingrich and Santorum is a wasted vote!

    A vote for Paul is not a wasted vote and may well mean that the next President of the United States will be a man that, for the last 30 years, has never broken a promise, compromised his principles or waffled his position on an issue. A man that still believes that the Constitution of the United States is THE law of the land and that the protection of our individual liberties is the primary reason for the Federal government.

    It’s worth a try, but I’m thinking they have more than enough customers in the rest of the military industrial complex… not buying a microwave probably won’t kill them.

    THAT’S exactly the problem.. and speaks to why JACK FREAKING WELCH is on a “stop Ron Paul road show.”

    In a twisted, reverse sort of way, this is making my day… to know that “Neutron Jack” had to slap on some adult diapers and go on this tour, instead of just having Suzy give him another sponge bath… makes me happy.

    I hope, before the tour ends, their plane, GE engines and all, slams into a mountainside.

    Suzy’s a brainless gold digging wh#re.

    Welch was not CEO of GE as long as he was without being one of the true “bad guys.”

    The NWO octopus has it’s tentacles so far up Jack’s backside… you can see it wiggle when he opens his mouth.

    This comment is freaking genius!

    And, so true.

    Are we tired yet of listening to these freaking “King appeasers” trying to tell us all to just get back to our slave duties?

    I SERIOUSLY doubt that stuff about his kids liking Ron Paul was anything but scripted, planned NARRATIVE… an attempt to further the meme that only children would support Paul.

    Those kids will spend their entire lives living in luxury off of the blood of innocents… I doubt they’re big RP fans.

    If you want some amusing reading…

    Go back and read about Jack and Susie’s ”love story.”

    There’s some interesting stuff in there that says much about Jack’s “integrity.”

    David,

    Please.

    Jack and Susie are just looking out for US.

    Shame on you for your cynicism.

    Mike Meyers, when writing the villain for the next Austin Powers movie could not come up with a better, more stomach-turningly evil sub human than Frum.

    I guarantee you he doesn’t bother with using porn… because he can get the same “benefits” from watching news archives of innocent people being blown to bits by drones.

    That’s a beautiful and effective use of VENN diagrams.

    I am a big VENN diagram fan… especially when they are used to explain why freaking JACK Welch has his diapers in a bunch over the supposedly “unelectable” candidate.

    Anyone see that C-Span video where the “government/military press” cameraman says, on hot mic, “Look around, with Ron Paul elected… 2/3rds of us are gone?”

    THIS is exactly the same thing… it’s just about people worried about their crony power much higher up the food chain.

    If that’s true, it’s just too perfect.

    Vote for Newty! He can’t manage his own money, let alone yours.

    At this point, aren’t his kids like 50?

    Ron Paul’s not a regular party guy…

    No encounters with young, paid for, men, under the big pagan owls…. for him!

    Really! What is wrong with this Paul guy?

    What a weirdo!

    Well Mr. Jack W, you’re not a regular of the human-being party either.  You did this country a great disservice by setting the model of outsourcing all those jobs instead of lobbying your elected servants to promote incentives in keeping them here.  Your input may have merit with the Big-wigs for making money but has no credit nor merit for public service.  Pshaa – away with you fool.

    If you check out Welch’s history, why would anyone listen to this guy.  His own kids don’t even listen to him.  Just another psychopath that thinks he’s been put on this earth to rule over others.  Some times I wonder if these guys severence packages are really just Hush Money.

    What the hell is the gold digger in the shot for?  Welsh is right.  For starters Dr. Paul has the same wife he had from the early sixties.  That one fact disqualifies him from being a party regular, which by the way I’m sure Dr. Paul wears this as a badge of courage.  Also I’ve been wondering where this dinosaur has been lately.  Probably running errands for the gold digger.  haha

    At least the votes from 2 of their kids will cancel out their votes to Romney.  Then RP still gets a +2.from their family.   Jack looks and sounds like he is about to kick it.

    Sounds like he discovered that Ron Paul wasn’t interested in a political “Reach-Around” from GE-Financial -unlike all of the “Traditional Politicians”.  As a child I knew that GE built krap.  Now I know that it’s FULL OF IT.

    Keeva, isolationism is completely different from non-interventionism. RP represents the latter, not the former. He wants to stop messing with other countries internal affairs, instead become friends and trading partners. That is not isolationism, that is non-interventionism.
