- mediaspree, on 07/16/2008, -7/+179Oh sure, NOW they put him on TV.
- Thinbev, on 07/16/2008, -11/+117He's been preaching this exact same message for over 20 years in Congress.... Finally, America is starting to listen to the freedom message. Finally.
I predict that in a couple of years, the Campaign For Liberty will explode! People are going to understand that freedom works best and big government will always screw up. It doesn't matter who is President; McCain, Obama, or even Gandhi! As long as we have big government and a paper money Federal Reserve system, the people will always suffer.
I urge everybody to join www.CampaignForLiberty.com. - Stryder81, on 07/17/2008, -8/+106Oh how people are going to be kicking themselves for not voting for this man ...
- silentboom, on 07/17/2008, -6/+75He's saying more to help this country than many presidents have said in their lifetimes, will anyone listen? I am preparing for the worst but hoping for the best.
- klasifyde, on 07/17/2008, -6/+55Wake up america! This is the only man in congress that can see what is wrong in Washington! Maybe just maybe the delegates at the rnc will have the backbone to vote no confidence in mccain and get this man the nomination.
- JeremyGrieves, on 07/17/2008, -2/+39He's the only one giving the gods honest truth and has been consistently.
- muckemuck, on 07/17/2008, -0/+36The GOP won't admit they've made a huge mistake.. the GOP wants to continue running down the wrong track, so why should the little people act any differently? They'll continue to ridicule Ron Paul even though all the current events are proving him right and proving that the candidates who laughed at him and mocked him in the debates (Romney, McCain, Guilliani) were just plain wrong.
- bunghole999, on 07/17/2008, -4/+35I am proud to say I voted for Ron Paul in the primary. Ron Paul's anti-central government, anti-federal reserve, anti-corporate fascism message did not go over well with our corporate masters, and that is why he was squashed by the mainstream media. Barrack Obama was NOT squashed by the media. Just another clue that Barrack is a puppet..... SO ... I have a dream... that one day the US Presidential election will be integrated and diverse... we will have a black, white, and female puppet. Long live diversity! Goodbye Freedom
- koob, on 07/17/2008, -2/+29Ron Paul vs. Ben Bernanke from earlier this year: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gldETRlhiXk
- azbmr, on 07/17/2008, -1/+23I'm still voting for him. I don't give a ***** who the nominee is. It is my right--especially since I don't think either of the current nominees would be good a President.
- dbarsell, on 07/17/2008, -10/+31Finally. An anchor person on Fox that actually listens to and understands what Ron Paul has been warning Americans about for decades. Great interview. Thank you. Now join the r3VOLution at www.CampaignForLiberty.com
- axiomata, on 07/17/2008, -0/+21Dugg for the shot of inflation analogy at the end.

- tacotruck08, on 07/17/2008, -4/+24RON PAUL. STILL CHANGING AMERICA.
- tacojohn48, on 07/17/2008, -2/+19It isn't on real TV, it is on fox business.
- meuse, on 07/17/2008, -2/+19Keep giving those international bankers hell, Ron!
- richmomz, on 07/17/2008, -0/+17Unfortunately Obama has said virtually nothing on these topics. He has acknowledged that there is an economic crisis but has not addressed the CAUSES of the crisis (inflation, runaway government spending, etc.) To be fair though, McCain is no better.
The mainstream candidates simply refuse to address these issues. Whether it is intentional or out of ignorance, I do not know. - chester27, on 07/17/2008, -3/+19Did anyone notice how the anchor stifled back a laugh at 1:47, when Ron Paul suggests restraining the Federal Reserve?
- inactive, on 07/17/2008, -5/+21this is why democracies never work. people can't get their priorities straight. he is not going to come to your house and put a gun to your head and tell you to become creationists. ***** retard!
- MRoCkEd, on 07/17/2008, -1/+15He doesn't know *****. Neither does Mccain.
- skyshock1, on 07/17/2008, -0/+13It's not too late to vote for him. The General election is still a ways off and I'll be voting write-in or absentee or what have you as long as I can vote for Ron Paul.
- richmomz, on 07/17/2008, -0/+12The topic is on inflation and the problems with the Federal Reserve system, and has NOTHING to do with politics or election related material. Just because the video happens to have a congressman in it doesn't mean that it automatically belongs in the political section. If you had actually viewed the content, you would understand this.
- rolf, on 07/17/2008, -0/+12Some days, I'm optimistic and on some days, I think we're going to go the way of Rome: knowing where the republic/empire is headed but collectively not having the will to steer it before it reaches the ditch.
- XxtraLarGe, on 07/17/2008, -0/+11Yeah, I was just about to say he gets more face time on TV now that he dropped out of the race.
- richmomz, on 07/17/2008, -3/+13Inflation is taxation, and the Federal Reserve is the biggest tax man out there, worse than the IRS. After 30+ years of non-stop monetary erosion, the American economy is almost tapped out. Ron Paul is the only person in Washington that gets it.
- calebian, on 07/17/2008, -1/+11well when they give only 3 min of air time its hard to get all the problems of america across.
- calebian, on 07/17/2008, -1/+11Ironic how a broken record is the solution for a broken America. Ron, your my hero. You never change the truths you believe in.
- btschul, on 07/17/2008, -1/+11Please don't vote for Obama. Especially if you don't know his stance on important issues like this one.
- JettaMan, on 07/17/2008, -0/+9Wrong. You have to let people and businesses (including banks) be punished when they do something stupid. If you allow them to get away with stupid they keep doing stupid.
- richmomz, on 07/17/2008, -0/+9BOTH candidates will increase government spending - the only difference is how they will go about it. McCain will borrow and print the money he needs (triggering more inflation) while Obama will raise money the old fashioned way by taxing everyone to death. Either way, you and I are screwed.
- radiofriendly, on 07/17/2008, -6/+15That was so perfect (short and sweet for our sick/sad culture)!
- Thinbev, on 07/17/2008, -0/+9With all due respect, your opinion is Utopian. What you don't understand is there is no such thing as "responsible big government". It's impossible and unsustainable. Even if "the industry and government subsidized programs were properly monitored and regulated" by Einstein, Gandhi, and Jesus, how can you assure that those people in the industry and government will ALWAYS properly monitor and regulate things? What happens in 5,10,20,50 years? What happens when they get out of office or grow old and die?
The bottom line is politicians are people and people always make mistakes. Perfect people don't exist. Perfect politicians don't exist either. Why put all this power and control into the hands of a few people who could screw it up for the rest of us? Bottom line: Big government always fails and will never work.
We need sound money and a principled small federal government that will limit its power, spending, taxing and follow the constitution. We need to elect politicians who would limit their power and stop colluding with big business.
If our government wasn't so big and powerful, big businesses wouldn't be sending their lobbyists to D.C. to pass unconstitutional laws and regulations that benefit them. If our government followed the Constitution, big businesses wouldn't be able to benefit from laws and regulations and they will be forced to participate in the free market like everybody else... We would all be much better off.
America will ONLY prosper if we elect principled, pro-Constitution, small government people to local, State, and Federal government. I think we can do it. It's our only hope - btschul, on 07/17/2008, -2/+11I am really tired of this ***** argument against Ron Paul: "He is against a woman's right to choose." You didn't use those exact words, but you insinuated that his stance on abortion was a bad thing. Lest get a few things straight:
1. Ron Paul is an OB/GYN that has delivered over 3000 babies. In his professional medical opinion, life begins at conception. It is not a religious thing, it is his PROFESSIONAL MEDICAL OPINION. He knows more about when life begins than you do.
2. He does not want to ban abortion. He believes in leaving it up to the states, which is the constitutional thing to do. So, he is not infringing on anyone's rights. He is following the constitution.
3. Do some research before you bash Ron Paul, and unless you are some sort of deviated socialist/communist/totalitarian prevert you will probably find that he is the best candidate for the job. - analogkid01, on 07/17/2008, -2/+11Maybe there's another way to get research funding without resorting to government-sanctioned robbery? There are plenty of citizens, like you and I, who would gladly donate money that is otherwise wasted (in the form of taxes) to companies performing valuable scientific research.
- btschul, on 07/17/2008, -4/+13It escapes me how this man did not win the nomination. It is simply mind-blowing. Are the majority of Americans just stupid? I don't get it. He has the answers to almost all of our problems, but he just gets ignored.
- btschul, on 07/17/2008, -0/+8He knows the cause of the problem, he just hasn't said "Too much govt. spending is the problem" because HE IS GOING TO INCREASE GOVERNMENT SPENDING. He has all kinds of new social programs he wants to set up, and he even wants to use our tax money to pay welfare to poor people in OTHER COUNTRIES. (http://digg.com/2008_us_elections/Obama_supports_b ... He won't talk about it because he knows his plans for the country will make it worse.
- ostracize, on 07/17/2008, -0/+7Regardless of whether or not there is a difference between big government and irresponsible big government, big government always contains an awesome amount of power like the kind the Fed wields against the world economy. I have no doubt, like you, that the Fed is doing the best they can with what they've been tasked with but the bottom line is it isn't working:
"Since today's paper money achieves its status by government declaration and not by its value in itself, eventually total power over the economy must be granted to the monopolists who manage the monetary system. Even with men of good will, this power is immoral, for men make mistakes, and mistakes should never have such awesome consequences as they do when made in the management of money. Through the well-intentioned mismanagement of money, inflation and depression are created. Political control of a monetary system is a power bad men should not have and good men would not want."
Eliminating the Fed and the IRS flat out would be disastrous, agreed. But we need to take steps NOW to abolish them. It's like paying interest on a credit card bill. If you're going deeply in debt, you don't just keep paying the debt, you take drastic measures to cut the spending by cutting up your card ASAP. Then you pay it off. Keeping the Fed means we keep this perpetual debt system and we never get better. - Slick37c, on 07/17/2008, -0/+7Modern day prophet? Relax. Just a bit.
- skyshock1, on 07/17/2008, -0/+7Dude. He's not dead.
- homah, on 07/17/2008, -2/+9It's pretty natural for a doctor who witnessed abortions as a young man to believe that life begins at conception. That being said, his political belief is that abortion is a state issue.
I don't think RP is perfect. I don't think he is a modern day prophet. What I do know, however, is that he is more consistent than the two (major) presidential candidates. He isn't afraid to express his beliefs, regardless of how unpopular they may be, and stand by them. He votes on bills based on their constitutionality way more than McCain and Obama.
If you want to nitpick based on a single comment he made about the Constitution being "replete with references to God," I'd love to know who the hell you are voting for, because no one is a perfect politician, but RP is as close to that as I've ever seen. - inactive, on 07/17/2008, -0/+7"This is the only man in congress that can see what is wrong in Washington!"
I respectfully disagree, he's the only who wants to do something about it, which sadly is why he will fail.
Sorry hell hasn't frozen over, I don't see one good man correcting this system, which has been broken or has been breaking since it's inception.
Ron Paul generally tells the truth and has integrity. - tonyteetime, on 07/17/2008, -2/+9It's good to hear a voice of reason amid all these financial madness! Keep on preaching RP!
- Hangly, on 07/17/2008, -0/+7Fox people are congenitally retarded. What else is new?
- JigoroKano, on 07/17/2008, -1/+7I find your words frightening.
- richmomz, on 07/17/2008, -1/+7Yes, now that he's no longer a threat there is no need for a media blackout any longer.
- tonyteetime, on 07/17/2008, -3/+9"Inflation is taxation, and the Federal Reserve is the biggest tax man out there, worse than the IRS"
Inflation , the Fed and IRS are all synonymous. The fed is the pimp and the the IRS is the whore working for the fed. - Hangly, on 07/17/2008, -0/+6Don't beat yourself up. The game is rigged.
- badogg, on 07/17/2008, -3/+9You lost me at believing in God
- card51short, on 07/17/2008, -0/+6Thanks for your opinion. I feel a vote for McCain or Obama or anyone I don't like is also a wasted vote.
