    O’Reilly Breaks Down Iowa Caucuses, Says Obama Would Beat ‘Outlandish’ Paul Like Barry Goldwater — ‘By a Colossal Margin’

    Back from vacation, Bill O’Reilly dedicated Monday‘s Talking Points Memo to the GOP field currently making its way through Iowa and delivered his predictions on how each of the candidates will fare in Tuesday’s caucuses. While “The Factor” host said he believes Rep. Ron Paul will do well and perhaps even claim a victory in tomorrow’s showdown, he is certain the Texas congressman will not claim the ultimate Republican nomination because his positions are “too outlandish” and President Obama “would beat Mr. Paul by a colossal margin.”

    “Hello, Barry Goldwater,” O’Reilly then quipped.

    O’Reilly went on to paint a grim picture of Paul, stating, “he has spent 23 years in Congress and only one of his proposed bills have been signed into law,” adding, “Mr. Paul has sponsored 620 pieces of legislation.”

    In addition to breaking down the chances of each Republican hopeful, O’Reilly also extended an invitation to Rick Santorum, addressing the former senator’s recent suggestion that the Fox host had purposely been snubbing him.

    O’Reilly, who claims he had yet to invite Santorum on his program due to the candidate’s previously low polling numbers, stated, “we tend to avoid campaign segments unless there’s a media controversy.” Now that Santorum is performing better in the polls, O’Reilly said, “we have invited Rick Santorum to appear on Wednesday.”

    Fox News Insider  adds:

    While O’Reilly said that he expects Romney to do well in Iowa, he doesn’t believe that Newt Gingrich will finish within the top three. [...]

    O’Reilly ended the memo by making it clear that he wouldn’t predict who would win tomorrow’s caucuses, saying, ”Last time around I predicted Hillary Clinton would beat Barack Obama. A humbling experience.”

    The Factor host also talked about presidential contender Michele Bachmann’s chances in the Iowa caucuses.

    Watch O’Reilly deliver his predictions below:

        Ron Paul is the only one who can win the general election. Why?

        He wins over the majority of the independents
        Democrats in droves willing to cross party line to vote for him
        Although Ron’s is hated by the GOP establishment, Republicans like his ideas and many will vote for him after all the phony candidates are exposed one by one
        His supporters are better educated on the issues
        His support is out of conviction, not because he is leading "today"
        The more media hit pieces they publish on him to take him down, the more popular he becomes

      Polls that consider how people will vote the first Tuesday of November are horribly inaccurate. A lot can happen in the next 10 months to influence an election.

      Bill O’Reilly has got to be the biggest loud-mouthed fool on tv. He knows nothing about anything, he just runs and runs his big mouth. How did such an idiot ever fool a network in to giving him his own show. WHAT AN IGNORANT LOUD-MOUTHED FOOL!
    • methodical  •  Washington, District of Columbia  •  4 mths ago
      Ironic considering that Goldwater was the last true conservative of the GOP before they became overrun with corporate sell outs, religious fanatics, and big spenders. O'Reilly is nothing more than a talking head for republicans who only want to "play ball". Unlike Fox news chosen ones, Paul has a lot of support from independents, people that decide these elections. Romney is nothing more than a prostitute for the big banks and the federal reserve, and he flip-flops on a daily basis. He's the architect of the social healthcare system that Obama's is based on, yet hilariously, he rails against. I'm warning those in the GOP coming from this independent: If you choose to eat up the propaganda from Fox news and talk radio's chosen candidates, and you do not elect Paul, and choose Romney instead: Obama will win in a landslide. Romney is the GOP's version of John Kerry, minus the military service.

      Welcome to 1984. When the ideas of Constitutional government and personal freedom are being espoused as outlandish, it is time to tear down the house.

      Sure glad those bills don't pass, that way more rights aren't lost and taxpayers don't have to pay for them. Tired of all the dirty ways of our politicians. Thanks Ron Paul for bringing our attention to what we are losing, everyday. Many more happy birthdays to you also.

      Well, that is it then! no point in voting or anything! The great O'reilly has spoken. Only thing bigger than his ego that I know of is the national debt. Which he could solve in minutes!

      Please post any intelligent arguments for why you think what I am going to say is wrong. I am genuinely interested in your opinion. Please don't just stoop to name-calling. Look up what I am saying for yourself and actually comment on the content instead of trolling.

      According to the November NBC-Marist poll, Obama beats ALL the GOP candidates EXCEPT Ron Paul, who he ties! So I wonder if one of three things is going to happen:
      (1. Ron Paul doesn't get the nomination and runs as a third party candidate: The recent NBC/Wall Street Journal poll suggests Ron Paul would get 18 percent as a third-party candidate running against Obama and Romney. Obama wins.
      (2. Ron Paul drops out: Ron Paul's stubborn, principled supporters stay home or write him in. Obama wins.
      (3. 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 DROVES. (f. People fed up with the status-quo and where it has led us. Ron Paul comes very close or wins.

      Hey O'Reilly... What about "anybody can beat Obama!"? I guess you meant anybody but Ron Paul? Another "humbling experience" is in the works?
