- czernel, on 11/06/2007, -28/+474From the interview - RP: "The message is powerful. I have my shortcomings, but the message has no shortcomings. The message of Liberty is what America is all about."
Support the message - http://www.ronpaul2008.com - Amadeus2490, on 11/06/2007, -22/+403I was really surprised to see him given a completely respectful interview; Jay Leno is known to make fun of people (especially politicians) right to their face when he doesn't like them, and if you read the "fun facts" on the forum the video was linked on, he had possibly the longest line outside of the studio in the history of the tonight show, and Tom Cruise and Jay Leno talked in a friendly matter to him about his policies for about 10 minutes backstage. It was also really surprising to hear the Sex Pistols shout out to him in the middle of the song, and after the show he said it was an honor to meet Ron Paul :-)
I'll be 18 next year, and the only way i'll even bother to register as a voter is if Ron Paul is on the republican ticket. I'm gonna order the pack of 100 fliers from his website and pass them around door-to-door in my town and post them on all the bulletin boards in the local businesses. If you really support America then I suggest everyone does the same in their communities so we can prove to the mainstream media that the support for the American Constitution is NOT just on the internet anymore! - tsos2, on 11/02/2007, -23/+311It was a good interview. It was an outstanding chance for America to see Dr. Paul react on a "one on one" basis. :)

- seks03, on 11/06/2007, -13/+185I was one of the supporters trying to get in, this place was packed!
- inactive, on 11/06/2007, -20/+191ron paul knows his stuff because he knows economics. he never gets stumped, and doesn't even have to try, nevermind act.
- HypocriteDigg, on 11/02/2007, -17/+183Ron Paul is a true conservative and a true Republican. The current Republican party full of neocon fascists can go to hell!
- MarkCentury, on 11/06/2007, -27/+178This is one of Ron’s best interviews. He looked strong, relaxed, effusive. And he smiled!!! He looked like a man who could win the Presidency. I pray to God he does!!!
To all his supporters…

It’s NOW OR NEVER!!!!!!!!
Give the largest contributuion you possible can.
Mark - Wendigo6x3, on 11/01/2007, -15/+162I am a moderate, and I definitely wrote off ron paul. I actually saw him for the first time last night on Leno, and was very impressed. I personally think he would do better than clinton or obama.
side note: lol @ the sex pistols performance later in the show. they called out ron paul. - peregrine, on 11/01/2007, -17/+161Jay Leno did very well to ask the right questions, and he also placed the right counter points there too. I hope this gets the ronpaul revolution running to another power.
- JlmAWP, on 11/03/2007, -13/+155No matter ow many of them are posted, I just love to watch videos of Ron Paul. His genuine concern for America is truly inspiring.
- thumbup, on 11/01/2007, -21/+141I loved the interview, I hope America has the intelligence to vote this man president. It'd make my year in 08.
- swoopdog, on 11/03/2007, -18/+136who's Ron Paul again?
Oh yeah, OUR NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES! - inactive, on 11/02/2007, -19/+128Ron Paul is an American hero who will stop the war abolish IRS restore the Republic...everyone I know is voting for this man!
- BizzaroRob, on 11/01/2007, -7/+113Check out the rules in your state, in some states you are allowed to participate in the primary or caucus if you will be 18 in time to vote in the general election.
- Shorties, on 11/01/2007, -16/+120Hope...
- skyshock1, on 11/06/2007, -3/+104I don't give money to politicians. This is the first time I've EVER donated to anyone. I flipped him a quick $25. I'll probably throw some more money his way soon too.
- shivaman, on 11/03/2007, -9/+108I neve donated to any candidate before but I just did for Ron Paul. Also I never voted Republican but I will this time for Ron Paul!!!
- theboozer, on 11/03/2007, -6/+98Haha... right wing wacko? I sure as ***** am no politcal pundit, but I know the difference between someone talking good common sense, and an ***** who lies through his teeth. The Bush administration is a joke wrapped inside an enigma, folded in a butthole.
Ron Paul for president. - chez17, on 11/02/2007, -2/+912 things. First, its sad that in today's media Jay Leno conducts a more interesting interview than most "news" stations. I like that he at least challenged Paul on ideas like, "if you cut taxes, how do you pay for things?" and his stance on Iraq. But Dr. Paul stood strong as usual. Second, to the guy who posted the facts on the "REAL" Ron Paul, don't you realize that your vague, on sided description about Dr. Paul's stance is as bad as the people who blindly support him? He thinks abortion should be a STATE issue, not a federal one. Not my favorite position, but at least its respectable. In terms of homosexuality, here is his response to the question:
Q: Do you believe God says homosexuality is a sin?
Dr. Paul: Well, I believe a lot of people understand it that way but I think everybody is God’s child, too, so, you know, I have trouble with that.
Finally, good for him to take contributions from anybody, I HATE it when politicians reject money. Don't porn stars have rights? Don't white power groups have rights? I'm certainly not endorsing the KKK, if all of them died tomorrow I wouldn't be sad. But freedom is freedom is freedom. They have the same rights as everybody else and you have to deal with it. Freedom does not mean the world only has the right to be free as you see it.
I don't blindly support Paul, he has issues I don't like. But I would rather cut off my arm then vote for any one of the other republicans and I would rather stab myself in the face with a fork then vote for Hillary. NO politician is perfect, but he is one of two candidates that makes the Bill of Rights a priority. He is the president who will truly restore the constitution, stop the wiretapping, stop the torture, get the troops out of Iraq and restore the balance of powers in the government. Kucinich is the only other one that comes to mind on those issues and I would vote for him too. If there are others please let me know, I haven't seen them. - janeuner, on 11/01/2007, -17/+93Fixed:
* He's voted against Internet Regulation.
* He's voted to criminalize partial-birth abortion.
* He's voted against special rights for homosexuals.
* He's a Baptist, and promotes religious tolerance alongside a literal interpretation of the first amendment. (See: http://www.house.gov/paul/tst/tst2003/tst122903.ht ...
* He has had support of - but is refunding contributions from - white power and other racist groups.
You need to update your cut-and-paste talking points. - UtopiaInTheSky, on 11/01/2007, -18/+91It's about time this hit the front page. I've been waiting all day.
- kinerry, on 11/01/2007, -6/+71Freedom is popular?
- Frostman3D, on 11/03/2007, -12/+76I hope Ron Paul wins. I really believe he's the best shot we have for the dream the founders of our nation envisioned in the beginning. God bless Ron Paul.
- BizzaroRob, on 11/01/2007, -12/+72We usually learn about The Constitution in high school so it's probably fresher in his mind than yours. When was the last time you read The Constitution? http://www.usconstitution.net/
- JDenigma, on 11/01/2007, -8/+64Oh, so now you're going to attack the kid because of his age? Talk about an ad hominem attack you old geiser. Maybe you're getting a little old and a little too set in your ways and losing your faculties. How's that?
- FriskDown, on 11/01/2007, -22/+77Great! This is great advertising for the campaign. I bet this got a lot of people interested in who Dr. Paul is.
Don't forget November 5th. This is a day that can (and will) make a huge difference!
www.thisnovember5th.com - Frnnkdlxx, on 11/02/2007, -5/+58And another thing. The real reason to support Dr. Paul is his unceasing ability to force us to think.
He has principles, and underlying each and every conclusion he's come to, is a well researched, educated approach that makes sense coming from a historical vantage point (my own specialty) and looking forward to how it will affect us in the future. If you don''t agree, you simply need to educate "Yourself!" more. Because If you do dig up what he says we ought to do, and really correlate his claims to the said effects of such actions, they are all positive. I've never seen that in my lifetime. I've only read about people like him in books. It excites me to see a walking, talking, legend. "Founding Father material" is right.
He didn't even mention the fact that the Income tax didn't and doesn't go to pay for our roads or build any of "our" buildings. I wish he would bombard the viewers with real facts, but then again, I understand his not wanting to overreach.
Best not to drown the drought stricken plant. - kiroh, on 11/02/2007, -7/+58Remember, remember the fifth of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot. - RTPMatt, on 11/01/2007, -6/+56I believe his stance on abortion is that it should be a states decision, which is quite different.
- pixelate, on 11/01/2007, -3/+51Let's hope Tom Cruise doesn't publicly endorse Ron Paul.
- hoppdawg, on 11/01/2007, -10/+55***** yeah, Ron!
- conceptkid, on 11/01/2007, -8/+52http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1EFHgUXZaU
Youtube link to Ron Paul on Jay Leno - relaxeder, on 04/17/2009, -10/+51This guy has got to win. And for that to happen, we need to turn out for him en masse when the primaries come around next year.
Let's make that happen! - UtopiaInTheSky, on 11/02/2007, -4/+43One of the Leno staffers actually said it was the longest line he's ever seen for The Tonight Show.
- VIrus9, on 11/01/2007, -6/+44@Horton-
Here are some very simple answers to your questions.
1) Federal support for gay marriage is the type of big government interventionism that we don't need, much in the same way that we don't need a constitutional amendment banning it. You'll see more states allowing gay marriage once people stop trying to make a federal issue out of it.
2) Overturning Roe vs. Wade would not constitute a federal ban on abortion. Instead it would put the abortion issue back in the hands of the states.
3) The federal income tax (and many other taxes, as well) could easily be replace with a national sales tax. There is historical precedent to indicate that base prices for goods and services would drop to accommodate the sales tax, so consumers would have more money in their pockets while not paying any more for goods and services. - BizzaroRob, on 11/01/2007, -7/+42Great! That's 5 more people that can exercise their right to vote!
- capiCrimm, on 11/02/2007, -8/+42The racist groups point is bent. What your implying is that hes a racist. Ron Paul has spoken out against racism many times, and does not support it. He is against abortion, but believes in state rights and not a federal ban.
Considering the other dems and repubs Ron Pauls "liberty" is the purest one of all. - Tollboi, on 11/01/2007, -9/+43I had just watched the first segment last night, I did not realize he came back after the break. Anyone have the video for the second segment?
- dgingerich, on 11/01/2007, -4/+36First of all, he doesn't support "government licensed" marriage at all. He thinks it should be a religious ceremony, and the government should stay out of it. He's said that before if you bothered to do any research. Second, he wouldn't "ban" abortion. He said it's a state issue, not a federal one. Nothing in the Constitution gives the federal government that power. When the Supreme Court declared it legal, they overstepped their authority. He wants the states to be able to make up their own minds like the Constitution says they should. Yes, he is against abortion, but he won't control it at a federal level. Third, if we took spending back to year 2000 levels (which wouldn't be that hard), there would be no need for the income tax. The income tax only pays interest to the Federal Reserve anyways, which is a PRIVATELY owned bank (not part of the government). We should be printing our own money, not some bank owned by the elites of the world. Why should our money system be making them hundreds of billions of dollars a year?
Those aren't hardball questions, and he's already answered every one of them if people would bother to listen. - natedouglas, on 11/01/2007, -7/+39You mean, discounting a person's argument because of an unrelated personal quality?
That IS an ad hominem, *****. - Alawn, on 11/01/2007, -4/+34You do realize that he said he would be 18 next year. So he will be old enough to vote when the general election and possibly the primary happens.
- card51short, on 11/02/2007, -5/+35Hortnon you realize YOU telling someone to stop something on digg is jsut going to increase it right?
Remember, remember the fifth of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot.

- atdigg, on 11/01/2007, -6/+35At least they seem to be the only ones who ask for it to be respected, that counts for something.
- kiroh, on 11/02/2007, -1/+30It's a lot older than "V for Vendetta". You know, the whole Guy Fawkes thing?
- DAaaMan64, on 11/01/2007, -9/+38I don't know, "He's voted against the rights of homosexuals." I have seen a few like the "Google Ron Paul" video where he said specifically he wanted the same rights for all.
"He's a Fundamentalist Christan, and seeks use the Presidency to further these beliefs. (See: War on Xmas)." BS, stated several times about church and state separation.
"He's voted against Net Neutrality." He has commented on keeping the internet free several times. - 726f6e7061756c, on 11/01/2007, -7/+35"He's voted against Net Neutrality."
good.
"He's voted to make abortion murder."
where? link?
"He's voted against the rights of homosexuals."
like marriage?
Voted NO on Constitutional Amendment banning same-sex marriage.
"He's a Fundamentalist Christan, and seeks use the Presidency to further these beliefs. (See: War on Xmas)."
BS.
"He has the support, and is taking contributions from white power and other racist groups."
"…if the goal is to promote liberty, you can unify all segments. The freedom message brings us together; it doesn't divide us.” - inactive, on 11/01/2007, -1/+28please vote for him! I don't want hilary clinton to be our president!
- blimey85, on 11/01/2007, -4/+31It's my wifes birthday. Everyone should celebrate it (according to her anyway!).
