If anyone's curiosity is peeked, here is a youtube video of all of Ron Paul's remarks from the recent debate:

I'm not a fan of politicians, in fact I think they all "suck", but Mr Paul seems to be the closest thing to a "non-sucking" politician as there is.

Ron Paul is one of the worst representatives in my state. If one views his schizophrenic voting record it is clear the man has been captured by aliens and injected with small little viral minirobots.

He may have said something relevant on this case, but I think he nuts. He wants no government whatsoever. If people have to eat contaminated food, the consumers will find out after they die after eating the tainted lettuce and the company will not flourish. This kind of thinking is scary. He needs to visit some African governments that have no control so he understands how chaos can break down a society. This is a man without a clue. He wants the government to basically disband. The armed forces, congress, and judical branch should all be run by private company kind of stuff.
Privatize the CIA, FBI... because the private sector does everything better. Then a citizens record could be sold by the private companies and big profits could be made for any individual that wishes to know something about another individual. imo, this is how the man thinks. There will be votes in the house banning the torture of babies and the vote will be like 435-1... the one vote coming from Ron Paul who thinks there are some extreme cases where babies should be tortured. I am exaggerating, but he is way out there.

Ron Paul...hmmm.
Said a lot about 9-11 in the debate, until Rudy let him have it.
Methinks this guy is crackers.

On a side note, how pathetic is it that someone has to have a veiled insult in their tag...common dreams, alternet. Insecure patheticness. LMFAO!

I have exaggerated. And Paul is clueless.

He would change his tune after a month in a country without a government. No he would not. He would be dead by then. Drowned in his own saliva.

Here is the link to an interview Ron Paul did on CNN with Wolf Blitzer..I have no knowledge of his past voting record, or anything like that. Just watch this video and tell me if what he's saying makes sense or not.
And by the way, I'm not trying to say that he will be or should be the next President, just trying to expose some people to a man who is being intentionally marginalized/ignored by the mainstream media.

An interesting article:
http://mwcnews.net/content/view/14574/26/

I have watched this guy's voting record for years.
Im telling you he is way out there. Watch the debate where he threw the largest softball I have ever seen and Guilliana ripped that fat pitch down his throat. Made him look like the fool he is. Yes he is very close to an anarchist.
He suggested 9/11 was something that was going to happen because of the immoral reckless behavior of the US. The man is way out there. But he is running for President so he might have some handlers that make him look a wee bit sane.

Nightmare man. I swear I would leave this country if he was elected. NUTS. (The last few statements probably bought him some votes on this board.)

I was going to try to respond to this, but instead I will let this short article do it for me:

Ron Paul, CIA Big, to Rebut Giuliani at Press Confab, May 24
Wednesday, May 23, 2007 - FreeMarketNews.com


Presidential candidate Ron Paul (R-TX) will be joined by Michael Scheuer, former head of the CIA's Bin Laden Unit, to discuss flawed American foreign policy and its implications on terrorism, security and Iraq.

The press conference will be held at 9:30AM EST on Thursday, May 24 in the National Press Club Lisagor Room.

During the "First in South" GOP debate, earlier this month, Dr. Paul stated that 50 years of interventionism in the Middle East is a significant motivating tool for radical Islamists. Dr. Paul's position, though disparaged during the debate, has since received backing from numerous individuals, including others in the GOP, administration officials and - in excerpted reports - from the 9-11 Commission itself.

In the debate, Rudy Giuliani, a presidential candidate and well-known former Republican mayor of New York, called Dr. Paul's position "absurd." Giuliani is commonly characterized as a GOP "front-runner." He is also considered well-versed in foreign policy, given his supervision of the "international city" of New York and his position as its leader during 9/11. However, he stated that he had "never heard such an explanation" as Ron Paul's.

According to a limited-circulation release, Dr. Paul and Mr. Scheuer are expected to explain why Rudy Giuliani is wrong on security and foreign policy and provide documentation about the unintended consequences of interventionism - known to many in the intelligence community (and Dr. Paul as well) as "blowback."

You mean to tell me, "Rudy's city" was attacked, thousands died, the federal government did an extensive report on the incident and surrounding circumstances, and he did not read the report? Either Rudy is woefully uneducated wrt foreign policy considerations or he is a liar looking to score points with the numb-minded via a few short sound clips. Either way...


I don't think you have to worry about Paul or leaving the country. He hasn't a chance. Though, I somehow doubt you would leave...Alec.

You're wrong. Giuliani is not an idiot or a liar. He is an idiot and a liar.

He will say absolutely anything whether it is truth or lie. He's an idiot for thinking people are stupid enough to buy his bs. If that's not enough his campaign is paying his ex-nurse wife $15,000 a month for helping to write his speeches. That alone makes him an idiot. He's also said he will have his wife attend cabinet meetings. He's an embarrasment.
