We need to get the word out to everyone changing parties in closed primary states to check their new cards ASAP if they want to vote for Ron Paul. Please forward and post this everywhere possible.

  • ★ ★ ★ Ron Paul 2008!!! ★ ★ ★

  • Ron Paul RƎVO˩UTION! We need to clean the infected Neocons out of our government. Get Neocons like Bush, Wolfowitz, Perle, Romney, Thompson, Huckabee, Giuliani and McCain as far away from our government as possible. Jail perhaps?

  • How can I register for NJ? When do I have to do it by?

  • Google "NJ Office of Attorney General." When you get to the site, look to the left and click on Division of Elections. Then click "Register to Vote."

  • Attention Democrats, Independents, and First Time voters wanting to vote for Ron Paul. Many states have Closed elections in the Primaries. Meaning you have to be registered as an Independent or Republican to vote for Ron Paul in the Primaries. Deadlines for New York and New Hampshire are THIS FRIDAY! Go to gop . com and take a couple seconds to register today. Get the word out to your friends and families ASAP. Thank you for all that you do.

  • REGISTER REPUBLICIAN NOW: States with OPEN primaries are now CLOSING!!

    You CANNOT switch parties after OCTOBER 12 in NEW YORK and NEW HAMPSHIRE and if you are not registered as republican by then, YOU CANNOT VOTE FOR RON PAUL!!

    SPREAD THE WORD PLEASE!!!

  • I didn't see this video. I just found it now while doing a search for the September 26 Dartmouth debate footage. Barack Obama has a 20 second answer from the debate. That's all I found for now.

    Thursday, September 27th 9:00 P.M. EST PBS, watch Ron debate at Morgan State University.

  • w w w. Obamanation. com

    Billary Clinton SUCKS!!!

    Want bigger government? Want an occult practicing, shaman seeking lesbian woman or a Muslim in the White House? Want more of your freedoms taken away from you and forced further into NWO, NAU, and Real ID/Human microchipping? Then vote for Hillary or Osama.

    If you want the Republic restored, and your civil liberties protected, then vote...

    ★ ★ ★ Ron Paul 2008!!! ★ ★ ★

  • <b><u>RON PAUL SUPPORTER ???????

    VOTE FOR RON PAUL IN THIS POLL NOW !!!! </u>

    2008horserace . com </b>

    And Don't forget to vote in the Primaries.

    Peace !

    Ron Paul 2008.

  • The best thing you can do to help Ron Paul is join the Republican party so you can vote in their primaries. Anyone who likes what they see here should go to their site and do just that. It takes no more than 2 minutes.

  • For the view of an average, everyday person. See my video, Mitt Romney for President 2008!!! Just click on my user name.

  • For all you Ron Paul supporters. Please spread the word about Dr.Paul. I find it best not to impose my personal views about Dr.Paul upon others. I find it more effective to provide information to my friends and neighbors about ronpaul2008dotcom and allow them to digest the simple yet powerful message and decide for themselves!

  • Best candidate I have seen.

  • Ron Paul means hope for AMERICA.

  • Ron Paul, Ron Paul, Ron Paul, Ron Paul!

  • Ron Paul hosting SNL?

    Gore was boring, McCain sucked...watching the Neocons panic is hysterical enough!!

  • I love that last statement, you're awesome Ron Paul!

  • To anyone who wants to try to get more voters for Ron Paul, tell them to see the documentary America: From freedom to fascism. The entire documentary is free to watch here on youtube or video google. Ron Paul is the best and easiest solution to this problem.

  • He is Gandolf the white!

  • SEE MONEY AS DEBT

    AND THE MONEY MASTERS

  • he seem to know what he's talking about

  • elect this man to the white house!!! ron paul rules.

  • Ron Paul reminds me of Gandalf the White!

  • One thing is for sure. Ron Paul never flip flops. He never wavers on his political and moral beliefs. I like that.

  • I freakin love this guy, and I consider myself Democrat. I'm spreading the word.

    RON PAUL 08!!!

  • Wow... I wish more knew of him. I guess all you can do is tell others to check him out!

  • The politic that thinks, if you notice he dont give out the same old tapes to wash the people, he thinks and tells the true. Just hope he dont end like kennedy.

    A big support from europe.

  • My guess is that there is no chance in hell for Ron Paul, unless the small number who endorse him essentially go to war for him. You will need to organize like no other effort of this kind before, on the small chance he does get elected don't forget the Kennedy's. I would like Ron to talk at some length about the power elite, they are real and they most likely run the planet including america - federal reserve!!!

  • I have ordered business cards supporting Ron Paul for President in 08, bullet pointing his stand on key issues along with his website, and am passing them out. I ordered mine from vistaprint . com at $5.25 for 250 cards. I would encourage you to do the same. Please share your stories for supporting Ron Paul. Thanks!

  • Ron Paul is the classic Philosopher King as described in Plato's Republic.

    Restore the Republic -- Vote Ron Paul!

  • I hope Ron has people that will protect him ferociously. I'm definitely voting for him!! Everything he stands for means a better USA and a better world for my kids to grow up into. For the first time in my life I'm actually excited about going to the poles. There could actually be a candidate that will change things for the better.

    GO RON PAUL '08!

  • Go Ron Paul

  • 1) go to drugstore/craftstore

    2) buy stick of white shoe polish/white window marker

    3) write "WHO IS RON PAUL?" or "RON PAUL R3VOLUTION" on your back windshield

    If 200 people/day see it, that's 50,000 people by the time of primaries! If 5,000 Ron Paul supporters do this, that's 250,000,000 people exposed to his name by primaries! Dr. Paul's only challenge at this point is not Giuliani or Romney, but exposure to the general populace, so let's get it done!

    AWESOME RON PAUL 2008 STUFF

  • The president can't just do what he wants and he of all people realizes that.....you evidently haven't been listen to dicator Bush.

  • Ron Paul will abolish the Fed....but first he will destroy their collection arm...the IRS.

  • The first thing I would do is declare the Federal Reserve a threat to our national security , enough said :P The congress needs to pass bills and the president needs to sign them at some point.

  • After wathing this interview again, Ron Paul clearly says "Theres going to be no magic. I mean people have to be realistic!"...You may want to put down that "pocket constitution" and realize our monetary system is a lot more complex than your willing to admit...

  • I agree with you.I Like Ron Paul because he will not give money to Israel.Now maybe the people of my homeland can burn all those dirty jews down...Vote for Paul 2008

  • The interviewer said yeah and uh huh way to much >.>

    Ron has my vote everyone else can kiss my white american ass.

  • Florida Support:

    RonPaulFlorida dot com

    Get Involved! Look at all the MEETUPS!

    We need you NOW!

  • I think it was a decent interview. I think he needs to eleborate more on how he would go about shrinkig our government if he where elected. It's not like he could just snap his fingers and abolish the Federal Reserve and the Department of Homeland Seurity...I am very interested in hearing what he would say.

  • the constituion says the president can cease any program found to be unconstitutional with 3 executive cease orders thoes departments would be gone..... read the constitution before you spout off

  • Sorry, but he will not be able to abolish the Federal Reserve like your thing...I asked a legitimate question. I want to hear how he would go about doing it. Again, he can not just snap his fingers and get rid of all the departments. He has to ELABORATE on how the transition would happen. Do you think I don't support Ron Paul or what? Maybe you should come down here to reality!

  • No, he admits he can't. The president can't just do what he wants and he of all people realizes that. BUT what he can do is put a fire up some peoples asses and try and get things changed. He will never get everything he wants but any change is good!

  • I Agree! Seriously, I support Ron Paul 150%! I would just like to hear him go into more detail about how he would tackle the Federal Reserve and Homeland Securityguards...Oops I mean Homeland Security, lol.

  • I heard him say in an interview that he'd open it up to competition, with gold or silver-backed certificates. He's confident they would simply outperform fiat money and would become the currency of choice. JFK tried it too, he pumped a couple billion dollars in silver certificates issued by our treasury. some people still have them.

  • and kennady got assasinated, maybe ron paul would if he pulls some sort of move like that.

  • lol

  • I LOVE YOU RON PAUL

  • lol this cameraman kind of sucks

  • RON PAUL FOR PRESIDENT, he's the voice of the people.

  • RON PAUL 08. SAVE US!

  • I think we will really see the power of the internet in this election.

  • The cameraman needs to find a different job.

  • complain about youtube's sabotaging campaign against Ron Paul!! find out how to contact youtube on bestoftheday . net

  • Ron All The Way. You Will Win!! Founding Fathers Have Sent Us A Clone! Ron 2008 "VOTE RON"!

  • NO OFFENCE, but Ron Paul looks like the vilain from X Men.

  • I consider that in his favor.

  • Magneto for president!!

  • I love Ron Paul and yes, he looks like Frazier's dad, magneto and Jean Luc Picard.

    RON PAUL 2008!!!

  • Where is the gold, anyway? Is it really still in Fort Knox? Why have the Feds refused to let the American people audit it?

  • RON PAUL = RED PILL

    . RP  .

    get it! pretty cool huh? wow, i hope nobody uses that, though.. who knows what it would do to his campaign..

  • I'm looking for someone to help me develop a candidacy support page for Ron Paul. My website is RunRonnyRun(com) - Email me (runronnyrun2008@yahoo(com) if you can help.

    Don't let Ron Paul's message be drowned out by Big Media's silence. Help support Ron Paul on the web.

    RunRonnyRun(com) Coming soon...

  • "Coast To Coast" is a huge syndicated radio show that reaches vast markets. Please e-mail them and ask them to invite Ron Paul on as a future guest. WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!!

  • Download these videos, burn them, and give them to people who are still watching TV to get their opinions. Help your parents and grandparents, coworkers, teammates and drinking buddies understand the issues and the principles at stake. We have to save ourselves.

  • Why the hell do almost all the most popular videos relating to Ron Paul on youtube not load anymore? Any other youtube videos still load normally.

    I just want to hear more of what Paul has to say but I can't. Very frustrating!

  • I really wish that he would have registered Independent or something. It would be cool to see him in a 3 way race. He might do better there. Anyone know if it's possible to re-register.

  • Of course it is possible to re-register. Go to your county elections office and get a registration card. Fill out the appropriate info and give it back to them to be processed. AND THEN TELL YOUR FRIENDS HOW EASY IT WAS!

  • Whats with the cameraman and the extreme close ups, some acid freak with a ponytail prolly..anyway, Go Ron Paul !

  • Resist the Neocons and their agenda.

    If you haven't done it already, sign the Barring Ron Paul Violates Free Speech and the Electoral Process Petition on infowarsdottcom and keep Ron Paul in the debates. He is the only true Conservative running.

  • Dr. Paul is a great American and his message has a lot of appeal. Why in the world would the GOP try to get him out of the debates? It makes no sense if you're truly looking for a person that resonates with the people. What it tells us is that it no longer matters what the people want, it's all about what's in the best interest of the party. Ron Paul may very well be the best friend the citizens of this country have - Democrats and Republicans. I jusy hope they figure it out.

  • ACTION: Call the RNC now at 1-202-863-8500 - jam their phone lines and let them know that we will not tolerate any effort on behalf of any faction within the GOP to silence Ron Paul or kill the electoral process!

  • Ron Paul is so smart, this guy amazes me. He is going all the way to the White House in 2008, we can make it happen.

    WE'VE GOT YOUR BACK, RON!

  • A great guerilla marketing tool: Write "Ron Paul 2008" neatly on all the currency you have in your wallet. As the money circulates through the economy people will see his name and think "who is this guy?." Do it now everyone.

  • Allert!! Sign the petition, Support Ron Paul, someones in republican elite want to ban him in debates!

    Call the RNC now at 1-202-863-8500

    Google: Ron Paul RNC petition -and sign it!

    Please write the Chairman of Michigan Republican Party and call for his resignation for trying to deny Ron Paul access to Michigan Debates! He actually claims to be "voice for the grassroots" email him here saul@anuzisforchair(dotcom) or call 517-487-5413

  • kind of a lackluster interview. the points Paul made were good, but this wasn't done to be aired over the radio or tv obviously.

    i am proud to be a republican again.

  • Right, this man is dangerous to the nazi wannabes, those profiting from the Fed and World Bank, and the lobbyist-owned politicians in DC. Ron Paul needs to be guarded 24-7 by independent means, human and electronic, NOT by any government employees.

  • I just recieved an e-mail from the Paul campaign. It is costing his campaign 25,000 dollars just to participate in tonight's debate. PLEASE DONATE! Even a single dollar will help. Or if you really can't spare a dollar, just go to w w w (dot)searchronpaul(dot)com and use it as your search engine as much as possible. It's a google based engine and every click through the revenue goes directly to Dr. Paul's campaign. Please, let's get Dr. Paul the credit he deserves as a candidate.

  • go to

    youtube dot com/watch?v=vKupKbsoZbg

  • I see my comments and posts are already drawing attention and not making it thru.......this just puts a sharp point on the point, we can't even post what we want here!

  • Really nice interview. I love the comparison of well financed candidates to bureaucratic government.

  • Ron Paul is our LAST HOPE in salvaging the American Republic. A lot of people have died to make our Constitution/Bill of Rights a reality. DON'T LET THE SACRIFICES OF OUR FOREFATHERS GO TO WASTE, VOTE FOR THIS MAN IN 2008.

  • hey man, u should sign up for a ron paul meetup group at meetup(dot)com and help spread the word.

  • I pledge Allegiance to the flag

    of the United States of America

    and to the Republic for which it stands,

    one nation under God, indivisible,

    with Liberty and Justice for all.

  • under God? - that's a recent addition to the pledge, did you know that?

  • Yeah, what's your point? The point is REPUBLIC!

    If you don't like God, that is your business, but Ron Paul is the one person who has the courage to stop us from hitting the brick wall that is coming up fast.......if you want to debate about God go somewhere else!

  • My point isn't about God - It's about the maniputation of the pledge. The founding fathers seperated Church and State in the Constitution. This subverts the Constitution and ergo the Republic. My feelings about God are irrelevant. I'm with you about Ron Paul, but I truly fear for his safety. Are you suggesting in your other post today that some of your comments are being pulled? (have you watched The Money Masters?)

  • For those of us who never vote, for those of us who always WISH we had a person to vote for, Now we do.........Will you Vote for Ron Paul?

    If you will, you must register as a Republican first and then you can vote in the primary. This is the only way it will work, I for one never even knew what a "Republican" really was before Ron Paul, he is simple this:

  • Ron Paul is a man of GREAT COURAGE to stand up against the Powers........will we stand with him is really the question, the media is going to try to crush him, he probably is in danger such as Kennedy. BUT he isn't backing down........Will We?

  • Youtube user "etnuf" makes death threats to Ron Paul supporters and any one who isn't in favor of the Iraq invasion. He wants millions of Americans dead. Let him know how you feel about that.

  • Ron Paul is a bright spot on the face of a BEAR.

    The Powers That Be (TPTB) sent their media into the Bear's den to remove that bright spot during the first Debate.

    The Bear woke up. Now the silence is DEAFENING!

    WE THE PEOPLE are the rest of the BEAR. The right paw (conservatives) & left paw (liberals) along with all other parts are now rising up in a full stance to pounce on the offender of Freedom; united to feed this enemy to the teeth of Lady Liberty!

  • We Need Ron Paul in Office.

    Everyone of us will have to make this happen

    Join a meet up group near you and let's get it done

    RonPaul2008dotcom.......click Meetup

  • People! dump the Dems. Really they're are a real dissapointment. Being voted in to serve the PEOPLE, but, look what have they done-cowards- they are toeing the pied piper. W is totally wrong. Ron is very right.

  • Ron Paul is OUR man!

    Spread the word.

  • I had never heard of Ron Paul before the Republican debate last week. Wow, was I impressed! Someone who actually knows and respects the Constitution, and is knowledgeable about what the government is intended to do! I hope he makes it through the primary.

  • Never thought I'd really want to vote for a Republican. I'm hoping Ron Paul and Barack Obama get to face down in '08. They both seem to have the most sense and dignity of their prospective parties. Gravel's a nutjob.

  • We need an educated man to lead the free world, not some celebrity or some extremist. Forget Hillary, obama, romney, etc. Vote Ron Paul dammit

  • It's about time we end the government's waste of our taxpayer dollars, I think Ron Paul will shift the current "attack" on our civil liberties, something we haven't experienced since JFK.

  • get behind ron paul. he is being shut out by the mainstream media. contribute to his campaign, call the tv networks and tell them to have him on, send e mails to all your contacts. get the word out their, if the public can just hear his policies and seen how genuine he is he'll be a shoe in.

  • He is PURE Constitution and I love him!

    Go Ron Paul, you have MY vote.

  • Ron Paul, at least in this interview, strikes me as more of a scholar than a politician, and that's exactly what this country needs right now.

  • Ron Paul is up against a corrupt political machine which controls the media and will soon control the Internet if we continue to elect only those candidates who are packaged and presented as if they are our only options. Who do you think tells you this? The same organizations that benefit from it! Do the research—and then do something about it. I'm creating campaign literature and supplying pdf files for free, for details go to: myspace/chordchaser. Take action!

  • I believe this guy has got it right. I've never really looked at our government and I feel like an idiot for that. I'm awake now no longer asleep and I challenge anyone that watches this to also go "Google" these words: loose change

    It's a documentary put together about the events on 9/11. You want to watch the one that has a run time of around 1 hour and 22 minutes. It is hair raising and frankly I don't know why it isn't aired on television over ALL PROGRAMING. Wake up!

  • Circulate the link people. Yes , post your coments and talk about details but don't miss the biggest point of all , our nation has been secuestered by a few wealty families and we need to take it back by getting rid of the federal reserve and reinstitute the gold and/or silver standard NOW! Share this video/link with everyone you know and spread the word. Goto freedomtofascism & ronpaul2008 websites to sign up and send everyone else there.

  • Ron Paul 2008

  • What an amazing man. I'm glad I discovered him. I am not a libertarian, but I am a moderate Republican, and even I can see he is wise. He should win. He's getting good support, too! But he's one smart cookie, that's for sure.

  • Rush Limbaugh is shaking and cowering because of RON!!

  • ron paul has to win or this country is over

  • Dr.Ron Paul, i send you my hopes and prayers from across the ocean that you are the next President of the United States. You are humble and honest with a record that is consistent with your attituide. (A U.K Ron Paul fan).

  • >>>Criticizing the current government is not a plan or a dream. Anyone can criticize but that does not win elections.<<<

    What wins elections is flat-out lying ("Read my lips, no new taxes") and blatant election tampering (Fla, 2000).

    Ron Paul doesn't BS just to get votes and the issues he brings to the process are unique to the debate.

    Maybe some research is in order before passing such glib judgement, eh?

  • He has complained about not getting interviews. Why would anyone interview someone that hides behind a water bottle and rambles on with no thought process.

  • What the fuck are you saying asshole, if you live in the United States you should be fucken kiolled, no thought process? And what fucekn candidate DO YOU think has a thought process. You ignorant cowardly fucekn scum bag piece of shit. Ron Paul stands up against the Federal Reserve and the IRS, but he's hiding behind a water bottle and rambling on with no thought process huh? He's fucken 72 years old you dumb piece of shit he doesn't care how he looks for the camera.

  • I have nothing against the guy. I like small government, but when he was asked about defense he started talking about submarines and how they can go everywhere in the world ( I hadn't seen any in Arizona, but he did say they were undetectable). He does not make any since.

    I don't care if he is camera savvy, or that the camera man was drunk

    By the way watch your language, you make yourself and the rest of the Ron Paul supporters look like idiots.

  • When Dr Paul says that subs can reach anywhere in the world, he means as a weapons platform, not that a submarine is going to literally drive up your street. I've long wondered why so much tax money is wasted on other systems that aren't nearly as effective. Except that the other systems can be used to invade and meddle in the affairs of other countries by our activist government.

  • Right.... sure. You don't have any problem with him. In fact, you WERE gonna vote for him until somebody called you bad names, right?

    Let's review your strategy:

    Bsmack24: I think Ron Paul is too much of a "real" person.

    Logical person: You are an idiot.

    Bsmack: Well, I was gonna vote for him, but I won't now that you called me names. You are a bunch of big meanies! How was I supposed to know that childishly insulting your candidate would invoke ire!

  • Whoa dude, relax!

    Ron Paul 2008... and 2012!

  • I agree. Watch your language. RP is not using slogans the way MSM candidates throw them around--so he looks like he's rambling when he's actually talking about REAL STUFF. He was not going into detail--it looked like a pretty informal chat, not a publicity junket. The fact it's on youTube shouldn't give detractors ammunition to tear down his views--he's still forthright and making sense, not trying to impress anyone with sound bytes or rhetoric.

  • Ron Paul was actually pigion-holed into discussing an actual issue. Needless to say he became very uncomfortable. So of course he started talking about peso's or something.

    Criticizing the current government is not a plan or a dream. Anyone can criticize but that does not win elections.

  • Ron Paul 2008!

  • Ron Paul you have my vote. Your words are worth the weight in gold. I am hoping and praying that you will win!!! Go for it!!!

  • Did anyone else think it funny how he was fidgeting with his water bottle there towards the end? xD Ron Paul still rocks, though.  GO RON PAUL 2008!!!

  • Ron Paul is very similar to Churchill, in that he realizes that the challenge facing the US president in the near to medium future is to begin the dismantling of the American empire.

  • Ron Paul is nothing like Churchill, who belonged to the establishment powers that be. Ron Paul is more like our founding fathers, and will do everything he can to return these United States of America to the greatness it once had. Unless you want to live in the New World Order, Vote for Ron Paul... A. J. Miley

  • OMG.. you did NOT just compare Ron Paul to Churchill. I will kick you in the nads... fucking dumbass asshole piss me off

  • To understand you can read the cause of the great depression on this page, it will save me a lot of explaining, and an abundance of gold wasn't the problem. gusmorino(dot)com/pag3/greatde­pression/

  • Not in the class that he came from or his style of politics, but his moment of almost universally ignored prescience. Fuck, even Churchill did one thing right.

  • Jaysus H, guys! Would Atlee be a better comparison? Anthony Eden certainly wouldn't.

  • Wouldn't a dual monetary standard with gold cause a collapse in value of the paper? That's the sort of thing that used to happen in the good old days. That's why the dollar doesn't collapse now. It is the "gold" standard, or the pseudo oil standard. If gold became money again, gold would skyrocket, the dollar would collapse, the world economy would probably go with it, and the US's ability to use the dollar politically, too. It would be ok if we still had all the gold.

  • If you don't think the dollar is collapsing now, you're an idiot. It has lost one third of its value against the euro in the past 6 years. (And the euro itself is just another fiat currency that has also lost purchasing power during that time.) You don't need gold to make the dollar collapse. All you need is a government deficit spending like crazy and printing money to pay the bills -- what we have now.

  • "Collapse" is a word people define differently. If people thought of gold as money, the dollar would be fucking worthless right now.

  • Lose the ability to use the dollar politically? Well, yeah, that's the idea. It's called dollar diplomacy and it's one of the facets of why the US has troops around the world. It's one of Paul's major issues.

  • It's a bad idea. That's the problem.

  • You obviously don't know what you are talking about...the dollar is worthless, it's a receipt that is backed up by gold, without the gold the dollar is worthless thats why we have a problem called inflation, because we print more money than we can backup with gold.

  • Send all your "worthless" dollars to me! Ha ha! It's a simplistic solution that's already failed, the gold standard. Maybe what we are doing now will fail, too, but we already know gold doesn't work. That's why we abandonned it.

  • It failed because the bankers decided they should print the money for us it's called the "federal Reserve" they suckered the president of that time into agreeing to this, and now they give us our printed money, but like any bank there is interest, so now we keep borrowing money from the federal reserve instead of printing it ourselves. End Part 1

  • Part 2. That is why this country is in debt, to private bankers called the "federal reserve". If you look back before the federal reserve the gold and silver system worked just fine.

  • You might be right. My understanding is incomplete.

  • wait so why did the great depression set in? yea... because there was so much gold in the federal reserve, right? and when a recession set in, thats why nixon completely abandoned the gold standard in 1971, right? because there was just too much gold to go around, i mean with all that gold, no one should be going poor... but wait

  • Right because printing more money wouldn't increase inflation....do u have any ideas how this system actually works

  • NO we didnt abandon it because it was failing...we abandoned it to make more money then we really had to fund a war....educate yourself. Our dollar floats...it isn't real....what do creditors do when you have to much debt? Our government is a teenager with a limitless credit card

  • you know nothing about the reason for having fiat money. fiat is intrinsically worthless but its value is in that other people will accept for goods since they know other people will accept it for goods. This makes transactions easier and its real value is the good you can buy with. If people thought money was worthless they could just demand other forms of payment;
