I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men. - Woodrow Wilson
“Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men's views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States —in the fields of commerce and manufacturing—are afraid of somebody. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.” - Woodrow Wilson

I am poor, lived in a mobile home until recently and am an historian for thirty-five years now. First of all remember the man is under time constraint on the debates. There is no time to re-educate America on the debate, but is that need to be re-educated not further proof that the bureaucracies that are supposed to be educating our youth but have been failing badly since they began should be abolished?
As a history buff I can quote Emmy Bonhoeffer, who was quoting her husband; "A dictatorship is like a snake. If you grab it by the tail it will just bite you. You must strike at the head."
If we follow the money, as all investigators should by now, we find that most, or at least much of our problems lead back to the Federal Reserve Bank. The head is higher up still, but we must limit ourselves to our country - we don't need to have our POTUS wasting his time chasing around after the Rothschilds when we need the help back here. Now, Woodrow Wilson was the guy who was duped into supporting the new Central Bank in exchange for support in his election. If he didn't know what he did when he was doing it he certainly knew what he had done by the time he left office as his famous quote indicates;

Then he also said this;
“Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men's views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States —in the fields of commerce and manufacturing—are afraid of somebody. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.” - Woodrow Wilson
So a reference to Wilson was also spot on IMHO.
As for re-educating the public I have heard Ron, on other venues talk about Austrian economics and the Mises Institute, which I have been following for quite a while now.
mises.org...
As for Ron not looking as slick as all the rest, I think that helps him, he sure doesn't sound like all the rest. I believe Tony and Terry TrailerPark will be able to recognize that he is one of us better than most. The folks in my old neighborhood sure did like him, although I helped that along quite a bit. Ron is just not gonna BS everyone while he points out the BS of others. Makes sense to me.

The question that has often been thrown about is, “Can Ron Paul Win against Pres. Obama”? Supporters will argue that he should. He has to, to turn this country around. He WILL , if America knows what’s good for her!
But as those of us in the truth movement are aware, that the masses more often than not do not know what’s good for them and are easily swayed by charisma and slick talk. It’s politics.
That is why Ron Paul supporters are usually wiser/more intelligent then the other rabble.
