Glad to hear Carol is doing better Dr. Paul....
Please, please ask him to discuss in detail his problems with the Federal Reserve... Most people don't know it's a private bank.
Dr. Paul,
I am curious to know if you think that the oval office is the most effective place from which to motivate the kind of radical change you promote (and I very much agree with). I am of the opinion that the Libertarian cause would be more effectively pursued on a state by state level (through bringing suit against the Federal Government).
If Americans don't know where a country is, we shouldn't be involved? That's a very enlightened foreign policy concept! We'll really be isolationists then!
Ron Paul is a dangerous extremist and it's remarkable that Brian Lehrer would give him time on-air and lob him softball questions. For a little background try http://www.americanthinker.com/2007/11/the_ron_paul_campaign_and_its.html
You can do better Brian.
Wow - Ron Paul is creepier than I imagined!
Everything the congressman was saying made sense. Thanks brian for giving this kind of perspective.
Aaron - your link about ron paul is funny, it definitely asks some important questions but in doing so reveals the sight's own anti-muslim bias. Quoted from the article "Other Paul donations and activists come from leftists and Muslims. Singer and Democrat contributor Barry Manilow is also a Ron Paul contributor and possibly a fundraiser."
So what if muslims are supporting Ron Paul? Are they not allowed to support a presidential candidate. Or if they support a candidate does that make the candidate an extremist? Come on. Read the article completely before you post and reference it. If someone else referenced a sight that was clearly anti-jewish or anti catholic then no one will listen to the argument. Even if it has merit.
For the record I registered republican to vote for Ron Paul, because he was the only true anti-war candidate. Listen to what he said about Iran. I think what he said is the truth, Iran poses no threat to the US.
Aaron from Brooklyn is obviously a neo-conservative troll.
