Wow. This was true level journalism. Even though you could tell the interviewer thought Ron's ideas were a bit off, he stuck to the real issues during that period of time & didn't resort to a bunch of petty issues of he/said she/said.
he foresaw every problem that we have today, he told the world what was going to happen if we didn't stop it. now we are paying the price for big business backed government.
Pretty much the only thing he's changed his mind on since then (in this interview at least) is the death penalty. And he's been forthright about it and explained the reasons for his change of heart.
Other politicians change their mind on just about anything and avoid confrontation about it.
If politicians of any and every ideological inclination were as forthright, honest, principled, and sincere as Ron Paul, we would have a new golden age regardless of which party is in power.
only is Ron Paul was this age now in 2012.I think he would have more support,no he is not a naturally smooth talker, but look at the puppet we have in office now,smooth talker doesnt make great leader.no Ron is not perfect, but then again,who the hell is perfect,IM not sure I want perfection in govt,reminds me of nazi germany,always wanting perefection.I think Rons son RAND maybe also could run for president in the future,I hope so
This video makes me wish even though I don't give a fuck about age, race religion etc. But i wish he was this age because he was young and aggressive he had a lot of charisma in this era he went into a lot more detail into government corruption in this era and he had a lot more energy, passion and motivation and this young Ron Paul would go all out against the media and these reporters and the debates today which are attacking him but hey better late then never
He changed his mind on the death penalty because of the increasing corruption of our judicial system: If you are rich, you go free. If you are poor or a minority, you get screwed.
God I wish we had THIS Ron Paul today. The message is the same, but he was so much smoother at delivering it back then. This is a Ron Paul that would mop the floor with the slick neocons they have sharing the stage with him now... It's ashame they didn't let his voice be heard back then. I'm glad that his views on the death penalty have changed now (and he admits this is one area that he has changed his mind on... I'm totally fine with someone changing their mind over 30 years btw, lol)
Now I know why he can sound a bit tired during the debates--he's been crying liberty for decades, but no ones been listening! It's a shame, I fear his fight for freedom has left him tired.
The origin of this government is based on libertarian principals, it just wasn't called libertatianism back in the day. Paul is actually a classical/Jeffersonian Liberal, but the term "liberal" has changed over the course of time as well. It used to be a reference to "liberty".
@leverettb8 haha, I know it's really crazy how they have changed the language on us. I will sometimes tell people that I'm a "classical liberal" just to see their reaction, and then I can tell them what it actually means. However, because they change the words on us so often, I have become disenchanted with any sort of title. I just tell people that I support small government. Ron Paul is definitely the person that supports that.
@cityL7 You realize that the Department of Education was created in the 70's and our education has been declining ever sense right? Explain how he is trying to transfer any wealth? Though Libertarian believes you eliminate redistribution of wealth... Do you have any idea what you are talking about?
i like Ron Paul but to be honest, it's logical that social security is one of the exceptions where the free market failes. And saying it now failes as well, doesn't mean the free market will solve the problem, it would make it even worse. That is of course dependant on how you define 'the problem' but in my definition the problem is the dying people in need. The countries of Scandinavia are a rolemodel of a social system that realy works.
When half the country's "Young People" are MS-13 or black drug dealers,and the rest care not about what and why the other half are in the Country and who brought them there in the first place,or how the government and banks and corporations rape them,it is no wonder "Our experiment with liberty,will end" as Congressman Paul stated in a recent congressional speech.
Who brought in the drugs? Who wages the War On Drugs? Who Allows The Mega Banks To Launder All That Drug Money? YOUR GOVERNMENT.

Every day,a new piece of news of some bill or law that removes one more freedom,if not more,is announced.
Good to see a news anchor with some respect. today they are all arrogant shit heads who wont just shut up and let people talk and explain their points. When Ron Paul can talk and isn't squelched by the media he absolutely destroys every other candidate, he is the only sane one or the only one who isn't selling his soul to special interests.
If you havent seen the classic movie "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" yet, now's the time. Its on Youtube in a very nice print. If you have seen it, please spread the word. Every Ron Paul supporter will love it.
WHY WAS HE NOT ELECTED BACK THEN? HE IS STILL TALKING SAME TODAY. THOSE EVIL in goverment could of been gone 2 decades ago. No 9/11. No false wars. My GOD! SO MANY INNOCENT LIVES. SCUM MEDIA SHUTTING HIM DOWN.
@JMS13579 When you pay OASI, it pays out to beneficiaries, and the surplus goes into the Social Security Trust Fund, which buys t-bills to receive interest. Most of the "national debt" is owed to this trust fund. The trust fund is worth $2.6-trillion. OASI will be in surplus until 2017 and the fund will grow through 2025. Until the fund is depleted, it can not possibly be "bankrupt" by definition.
I'm glad Ron Paul has since changed his stance regarding the death penalty, but for a man with such strong libertarian principles it's too bad he doesn't support abortion rights.
If Libertarians like Ron Paul so much, then why not simply support him in his bid as a Republican. Many Democrats have re-registered as Republicans to vote for him in the primary, so why can't we Libertarians do the same?
"That's why we talk to a lot of young people. Because they're the ones who are paying these bills; they're the ones who are inheriting this debt. So it's most likely the young people who will move into this next generation will say 'look we're broke'" ----> that's us!! we're that generation. I was 4 years old when this interview was conducted. Very surreal to watch this
So Ron Paul has stood for the same ideas for decades, the government has not changed in decades, and the same objections to his arguments have been presented for decades, even though the current system has not worked for decades.
Exactly the same message 20 years ago. Only now people give a fuck because USA is in a big depression. I wonder what the world would look like if Ron Paul was elected in 1988...
damn he said it "the soviet system would fall, they are already bankrupt bc they spent all their money and cant win in afghanistan" hmmmm sound like another country?
RON PAUL WAS A DUMBFUCK, EVEN BACK IN 1988. He wants to destroy income tax (40% of the national budget), he wants to end FBI, CIA, Department of Education, Women's Rights, Any Kind of Healthcare Assistance (He Lies, VA Hospitals Have AMAZING Healthcare), Food Assistance, He's Anti-Gay Rights (Code Word: Leave It To The States, When It's FEDERAL BUSINESS as a CIVIL RIGHT), He's RACIST ("Blacks Steal Because They Run So Fast, etc."), RON PAUL IS A BIGOT AND A DUMBFUCK.
246 Billion... that's pocket change compared to deficits today. We need to support this guy America, he's been trying to guide us trough the right path for decades now, that's much more that can be said about 99% of our politicians, who most of the time want to lead our money into the pockets of their corporate masters.

I think the interviewer did a pretty good job. Part of his job was to bring up the arguments that viewers with opposing viewpoints would like to see answered by Dr. Paul.
Ron Paul isn't perfect but he's miles ahead of the others. *BIG* changes are needed and he's the only one who even talks about deep changes in concrete terms. With Ron Paul it's not just empty rhetoric - he's the real deal.
If you sit home waiting your turn you deserve to have your gun taken from your cold dead hands.
The Founders didn’t wait for the Brits to knock down their doors. They gathered at the green and stood up like men and they killed government employees all the way back to Boston.
What will you do when it’s time to hunt NWO hacks, republicrats and commies(“Liberals” and ‘progressives’)?
Don't understand? Follow my links. Read the quotes page first. Then read my column ‘Prepping for Slavery’
Ron Paul has been trying to beat sense into the American political consciousness for years, and I think he and his fellow libertarians are finally starting to succeed. I finally started to see the light in just the past few years.
Even if he fails to become president, his relentless and passionate arguments for the rights of the individual against the power of government have brought some hope for the future.
Ron Paul is brilliant, but he is NOT a politician – the contrast between Dr. Paul and our current crop of narcissistic political “leaders” is shocking. Does anyone believe for a second, that any of these “leaders” have principles they value more than their own personal ambition? Ask yourself what principle Bill Clinton (or any of the others) holds in higher regard than getting his name in the history books?
Even back then, Ron Paul cared about the young people. It's too bad that too few of the young people of the day listened to him. Finally, though, Dr Paul is being repaid for his kindness with burgeoning support, especially from the young people.
Love what he said about MEXICO & yet nothing has changed since 1988 except that its gotten worse in Mexico --- and he was proven right on the Soviet Union
@ghstgirl777 That is because he has an exceptionally good understanding of economics, law and foreign policy, not only that, he has remained consistent for over 30 years regarding what he believes needs to be done for the better of the U.S and other countries. He can look into the long term.
Even though I was born in 1988, I wish God gave me knowledge of the federal reserve and the constitutional laws so I could have understood what Ron Paul was trying to tell us. I swear I would've applied for U.S. Citizenship just to vote for Dr. Paul. My best wishes for this man.
He talks in Liberty Defined about how his views on the death penalty have changed (for the better, I'd posit). Don't watch this thinking that old dogs can't learn new tricks!
i think that ron paul for the 2012 elections needs to put all his energy into the primarys cuase if he can win that the general elections will be no swet he wont even have to spend a dime cuase not only does he have a strong conservative backing of ppl but also extreme liberals like him bill maher called him his hero john stewart has defended him on many ocasions and most libs are not happy with obama cuase hes soft so he would have no problem winning the general election
RON PAUL, WE ARE STILL WAITING FOR AN ANSWER! TELL AMERICAN PEOPLE HOW EXACTLY RU GOING TO CREATE JOBS? OK LETS SAY ALL TROOPS CAME BACK AND THEN WHAT? THEY ARE GOING TO SELL IPHONES AND BLACKBERRIES? DUDE BE A MEN, HOW RU GOING TO CREATE JOBS?

if you closed your eyes and weren't aware this was 1988, it would sound like he said it yesterday. the most consistant and honest politician. Ron Paul is MY president.
same message as today. kroenen your absolutly right, primaries are key in this election. in my opinion the primaries are gonna be the biggest challenge. if RP wins there i think the general election will be his without much of a fight

This man is the frontrunner in the 2012 Presidential election.
Call your television stations, e-mail your newspapers, talk to your neighbors, put on a bumper sticker. Talk about Ron Paul. I don't support several items Ron Paul advocates, but damnit,.... do you really trust anyone else to fix this stupid debt problem that Republicans & Democrats created??????
The Ames, Iowa Straw poll is scheduled to take place on August 13, 2011. Because of this, it is imperative to catapult Ron Paul to victory in the straw poll. On July 19, 2011, we will hold an online money bomb in support of Ron Paul for President 2012, with the goal to win the Ames, Iowa straw poll.
Please invite all your friends and help Ron Paul end our costly military involvements overseas, shrink the size of our government and restore the republic
So good of him to protect me from being taxed to help poor people. Why do I suspect he really means he wants to protect himself and rich people from being taxed?
@macroman52 That's right. Then you could take that money you weren't taxed and choose to give it to the charity of your choice, to a homeless shelter, or any other private organization which does a better job of taking care of the poor than our broken, corrupt, immoral govt.
@TaoOfOkada Perhaps you could offer some evidence that paying a government benefit to people who lose their job (in a recession) while they look for work, is worse than letting them rely on charity. That is, what is the evidence than a charity "does a better job". And you would need to take into account what the charities could do if there were no unemployment benefits, making their job that much harder. And please notice, I haven't said charities do a bad job.
@macroman52 I totally see your point. Yes, the unemployed absolutely need help. But there needs to be a fundamental change in the monetary system and the way govt deals with businesses. As it stands right now, huge corporations get all the benefits while small business gets it up the rear end. Small businesses comprise 70% of the economy. If govt gets the hell out of the way more people will be put back to work, lessening the need for our ineffecient welfare system.
Ron Paul should still be running for President for the Libertarian Party. He's anti all forms of Big Government and no longer fits in with the Republican Party. And could put the Libertarian Party on the map in American Politics.
@richarcm you ron paul gropies are so pathetic.don't u know journalists are supposed to ask questions to politicians?get off your knees and stop sucking he's old cock.u look just like the obama fanboys of 2008

PEOPLE NEED TO SWITCH PARTIES 12 WEEKS IN ADVANCE OF THE PRIMARIES IN MOST STATES.
IF YOU DO NOT SWITCH IN TIME YOU CANNOT VOTE IN PRIMARY.
IF YOU ARE NOT REGISTERED REPUBLICAN YOU CANNOT VOTE IN PRIMARY.
IF RON PAUL DOES NOT WIN PRIMARY, NO GENERAL ELECTION ! REGISTER AS A REPUBLICAN. FIND OUT WHEN YOUR STATE HAS PRIMARIES. FIND OUT WHERE AND VOTE VOTE VOTE ! PLEASE !
WE NEED EVERY LAST VOTE ! Copy and paste this everywhere.

Ron Paul isn't perfect but he's miles ahead of the others. *BIG* changes are needed and he's the only one who even talks about deep changes in concrete terms. With Ron Paul it's not just empty rhetoric - he's the real deal.

Ron Paul has been trying to beat sense into the American political consciousness for years, and I think he and his fellow libertarians are finally starting to succeed. I finally started to see the light in just the past few years.
Even if he fails to become president, his relentless and passionate arguments for the rights of the individual against the power of government have brought some hope for the future.

Ron Paul is brilliant, but he is NOT a politician – the contrast between Dr. Paul and our current crop of narcissistic political “leaders” is shocking. Does anyone believe for a second, that any of these “leaders” have principles they value more than their own personal ambition? Ask yourself what principle Bill Clinton (or any of the others) holds in higher regard than getting his name in the history books?

TaoOfOkada 6 months ago
@TaoOfOkada Perhaps you could offer some evidence that paying a government benefit to people who lose their job (in a recession) while they look for work, is worse than letting them rely on charity. That is, what is the evidence than a charity "does a better job". And you would need to take into account what the charities could do if there were no unemployment benefits, making their job that much harder. And please notice, I haven't said charities do a bad job.
macroman52 6 months ago
@macroman52 I totally see your point. Yes, the unemployed absolutely need help. But there needs to be a fundamental change in the monetary system and the way govt deals with businesses. As it stands right now, huge corporations get all the benefits while small business gets it up the rear end. Small businesses comprise 70% of the economy. If govt gets the hell out of the way more people will be put back to work, lessening the need for our ineffecient welfare system.
