  • @MegaBlueZOMBIE

    I hope you are joking. As of 12/31/2011, Obama signed the NDAA which gives him and the military the authority to detain ANYONE (u.s citizens too). He has also spent more money (raising debt ceiling) than George Washington through Bill Clinton combined.

    So no, Obama is just like the other GOP candidates. Supports big war, big bailouts, supports stripping liberty for the sake of "security".

    There is no alternative.

  • this is hard to watch, it's like watching myself, the last honest man sitting in a room surrounded by sheeps and goats that have forgotten right or wrong.

  • Is he the only honest man in the congress?

  • FOR THOSE THAT STILL THINK RON PAUL WROTE THOSE NEWSLETTERS, HERE IS PROOF THAT HE DIDN'T: fox19[DOT]com/story/16449477/r­eality-check-the-story-behind-­the-ron-paul-newsletters

    PLEASE SPREAD THE TRUTH AROUND. RON PAUL IS NOT RACIST OR HOMOPHOBIC. HE CALLS HOMOSEXUALS "GOD'S CHILDREN", AND THAT WE ARE ALL CHILDREN OF GOD. HE ALSO CALLED ROSA PARKS AND MARTIN LUTHER KING JR HIS OWN PERSONAL HEROES. PLEASE SPREAD THE TRUTH TO DEFEAT THE PROPAGANDA AGAINST HIM!

    RON PAUL 2012!

  • Ron Paul 2012

    I hope he wins and he has many suppoers back here in Britain

  • President Ron Paul 2012!

  • An excellent speech. Americans should call themselves lucky to even have a politician this honest, wise and noble.

  • mr. ron paul, is a man worth listening to...

  • I guess I like what he is saying but his pace and arguments seem to be for ppl, of another era :(

  • @NOTAMARKinc Obviously an era better than this. It's time to bring a new era for justice and freedom that is constitutional not dictatorial government.

  • Heres an idea: bring the troops home. All of them. No more U.S bases in Germany, UK, Australia, Japan, ect. The ONLY place I want to see a U.S military base, is the U.S.

    I can only hope to see this in my life time.

  • There is hope for America, it is Ron Paul. One of the very few honest politicians.

    The Assange saga is very troubling - as Ron Paul puts it 'shooting the messenger'. The affair shames the UK somewhat.

    Wake Up!

  • This is such a great speech.

  • Ron Paul 2012!

  • I don't necessarily think that Ron Paul should be president. I disagree with him wildly on some issues. However, from the left-wing, I give tremendous respect to Ron Paul for standing up for what's right and true. Don't let your government lie to you. He should be at the head of the military. I'd also like to see him elected as a supreme justice or something like that.

  • a good man standing against real criminals

  • Ron Paul -----> For an America we can all respect.

  • Our buddies "Saudi Arabia" produced the terrorists who executed the 9/11 attacks and killed 3000+ American. So we attacked Iraq....makes sense right? Now we are making war threats to Iran for their "alleged" assassination attempt on the US Saudi Ambassador without even investigating if the government of Iran was involved. Why didn't we look at the Saudi govn't after 9/11? Here's an idea...F' the middle east and bring our military moms and dad's home to their children.

  • I love this man and hate Obomber!!!!!!! and I'm a black guy, ha ha.

  • @DaninJonesboro if they vote for obomber we will see bombers again maybe here.?

  • 5:14 the only guy in the room claps.

    Ron Paul needs a bigger audience when he owns the house floor like this.

  • they are starting to make demands go to

    occupy wall street demands dot com

  • Thank you, Ron! Every word is true. I see that only 37 congressmen have watched this video so far. The rest must be at business dinners with corporate CEOs selling what's left of our government.

    Join us on October 6, 2011, when we invade Washington to begin a prolonged occupation.  Bring your tents or sleep in jail like Brad Manning has for 16 months, for exposing war crimes and corruption in our government. We need to take the trash out and remind everyone who is in charge of our country!

  • Ron Paul is a rare, one of a kind, truthful politician like we haven't seen since Kennedy.

    He has the GUTS to look at our country's current administrators and tell it like it is. He won't BS anyone, great communication and discipline at stating facts without shouting. This man has been intentionally banned in political discussions more times than we know, laughed at by the destructive media and fellow politicians, but just as the EverReady bunny, he keeps on and going..........with the truth.

  • Im From SOUTH AFRICA, and i know more about Ron Paul And Alex Jones than our own Puppet President!! Its time for REAL Change not NWO puppet change and not only in America But all over the world! I would take Ron Paul as our President Anytime !! The NWO can take there Agenda And shovit where the sun dont shine!!!

  • 9-11 was it a terrorist attack?

    just take a look at the results,

    US now controls the most important oil producing countries in the middle east,

    Arabia has a chunk of the US.

    Does anyone care about the people who died?

  • Tell it Congressman Paul. These guys wouldn't know the truth if it bit them.

  • If you agree with nothing else Ron Paul has to say & I agree with about 90%, his call for immediate troop withdrawl is reason enough to vote for him!NO OTHER candidate has a plan to get out of the Middle East in less than a decade ! We are bankrupt -our young soldiers' lives forever altered ,many disabled ,amputees -these are real people !They don't even know why we are STILL there - another Vietnam . Why don't people learn from history ?More vets support Ron Paul-reg REPUb to vote in primary

  • If liars and narcissists hire only people like themselves, pretty soon the whole organization becomes a radicalized institution of lying, aggressive narcissists.

  • I don't believe in a government of liars, on any level, especially the lowest of the low-level liars.

  • How dare you fire people for not believing your spin, or joining your spinning activities!!! I thought only Communists and Fascists were Spinners.

  • Ron Paul 2012, against all enemies foreign and domestic.

  • Spin = Lying!!! Where did you get the idea that spin is acceptable in government? What a big, fat Spinner!

  • Listen up, specifically you aggressive personality disorder challenged government workers--Lying is not patriotic~! 

  • IF SO RON PAUL IS A GUARDIAN OF THE PEOPLE WALKING INTO A VALLEY OF DEMONS AND NEEDS OUR SUPPORT!

  • IF WHAT HE SAYS IS TRUTHFUL TO THE END THEN ID GLADLY USE MY SELF AS A MEATSHIELD TO PROTECT HIM TILL HES ELECTED WHOS WITH ME!!!!!!

  • I disagree with him on economic issues however this man is absolutely correct on what the neo conservatives are doing to the USA. This man is a serious politician who you can have a sensible debate with unlike the garbage of the Republican Party. Morons like Bachmann, Palin, Perry etc. I believe he does America a great service.

  • @ggeorgewashington DR. Ron Paul

  • Ron Paul shouldn't talk about lying, after all he used the Oregon Petition as evidence for the "Global warming hoax" 10 years after it was found to be fraudulent. But this won't change any of your minds, will it? Ron Paul is perfect, so I must be lying.

  • @N33DL3R The words "found to be fraudulent" is an exaggeration. Given the videos you have recently favorites... I am not really surprised by how quickly you draw your conclusions.

  • @N33DL3R not perfect. but you are mentally retarded if you think there is a viable alternative to RP.

  • @silveristhefuture Definetly not perfect, but he might be as good as it gets, plus anything that might be a little over the line excessive would get filtered out by congress... everybody pretty much wins..

  • Wow.... just wow. Why can't we have more politicians that think like this? Ron Paul, your logic is flawless. Ron Paul 2012!

  • I love Ron. People just don't speak that way anymore you know

  • I love Ron Paul so much.

  • Respet to Ron Paul from Germany. Hope you people will have enough power to get him where he needs to be

  • @TheNoCoincidence Thanks for the encouragement. But we're all in this together. Germany also serves to benefit if Ron Paul is elected. I'd be willing to bet that when Ron Paul pulls out of Afghanistan, Germany would finally be able to pull it's 5,350 troops out as well. No more Americans dying needlessly, and no more Germans dying needlessly.

    Spread the word. We need the help of all nations.

    I wünche Ihnen einen schönen Tag. Am 1 September gehe ich nach Deutschland. Ich freue mich darauf. =)

  • @Thomasjefferson69 Yes i see ur point. I would not be interested in him,if he would not also have a positive effect for the whole globe. Viel Spaß in Deutschland!

  • As student of history, let me draw a parallel here. We are watching the Roman Republic turn into the Roman Empire before our very ( sometimes closed) eyes.

  • What a breath of fresh air. I could listen to RP all day long and not get tired of his direct approach to these important issues. He's the real deal. I love RP.

  • Dear Mr. Paul,

    I would vote for you if I were a registered voter, however because of the faulty and unequal American voting system, I know that my vote will not count.

    On the registrar, it states that my vote, because I'm a libertarian, will not count in almost 7/10 elections, and when I cast my vote for a party that is not Democratic/Republican, it will go into a secondary box that won't be counted until the final election. My vote will then go to some lying bastard I hate.

    God Bless the US

  • @TheTheatreKid6 just cause the candidates you pick lose all the time doesn't mean your vote didn't get through. try something other than sympathy votes

  • @LordKaisen You obviously didn't read what I said. It actually says on the registration form that my vote doesn't count. Try reading the entire post next time.

  • @TheTheatreKid6 absolutely redonkulus, ive read your post by the way and i read it again and I still lol'd. What state are you from? I don't know how you could possibly get away with that in America, it's not as corrupt as you believe it to be.

  • Seriously. Sign up as a Libertarian and watch what they tell you in the stands when you try to have an opinion.

  • Yeah, I'd love to see it, but I'm a self-admitted rainbow-chaser :o(

  • It's almost as if Ron Paul is being thrown up there as an "if only we could" tease to those of us who understand what's really going on in this nation. I'd do anything to see him get elected, but the odds are so highly stacked against that ever happening due mainly to American propaganda (a literal "brainwashing" of the masses via our deceitful media), & thanks to recently-elected, war-mongering "puppet" presidents like G. W. Bush, G. Bush Sr., & B. Obama. (<--In that order.) Sad, but true.

  • Mr. Paul, although I don't agree with your view on Evolution, you make up for it with you foreign policies.

    I want to give you a hug.

    :D

  • @LiveTheWild That's the greatest thing about him....he doesn't care what you believe, and he doesnt want you to care what he believes in regard to religion.....he is about your freedom to think and you want to think and do what you want to do so long as your not hurting anyone else....he's the best

  • I never voted... But after learning about Ron Paul and his views, I went out and got a voter registration card. My vote alone, but hopefully the American citizens will see. This guy is not a power grieving psycho. He wants good and wants to see his country do good. Ron Paul for 2012.

  • Let the eyes of vigilance, never be closed.

  • He's going to be a GREAT President... eh folks?

  • @wjweigand Sadly, the GOP wont nominate him .

  • @Brakeman94 ... lead or get out of the way

  • The "free market": bad in theory, even worse in practice!

    Neoliberal Capitalism is a failed social experiment - with countless trials to prove it.

    But no matter how many inflationary bubbles, crashes, depressions, recessions, forced famines, child sweatshops, decayed cities, megaslums, giant wars and decimated planets later, people still tout Neoliberalism as a life-bringing force of progress. Duped fools.

  • @musicalidea Free Market works plenty of time if you have competition in private sectors, let the middle and poor class decide where to eat, shop and etc without having large corporations like Sony, Wal-Mart and etc, bring it back to America, End the wars, bring our troops home and we might just have some money to start working on this country and our economy... It's not hard to figure out and you don't need a political science degree to figure this stuff out!!

  • anyone interested in helping with Ron Paul's signbomb plz contact me. I have the link if your are interested in representing your county also I am the regional leader for Placer County in California we need bodies and we need them quickly. We have to fight for what we want in life. If you want Ron Paul then we need to help him.. plz I ask all of you to take an active roll in making history. Ron Paul loses this election we lose America and that is a fact.

  • i love him i love him hes the best ever

  • If Ron is so honest...

    What does he say about every police station and courthouse MISSING the public evidence for everyone to have that proves "WHO'S liable if a law is fraudulent"?

    and every police record, driver's record & criminal record in every state MISSING the evidence that proves "WHO'S liable if the accusation is fraudulent".

    He wants assumptions without being LIABLE if their claims, policies or laws are not exactly true or right as they say.

    We don't owe them any assumptions.

  • @VigilanteLawyer I would have to agree liability should be established for everything from laws being made that are unconstitutional to charges brought against a citizen based on unwarranted search and seizure to corporations "cooking the books," and then justice should be carried out, and you're right we don't owe anyone any assumptions, but I hardly think that Dr. Paul is dishonest, certainly not in comparison to other congressmen or Presidents who consistently ignore the Constitution.

  • Comment removed

  • 33 people CAN'T handle the truth. thus they'd rather be brainwashed by the federal reserve puppets and have a giant big rubber dick shoved up their asses in more times yearly than just april 15th for all of us. When ya grow up Ozombies and skeletor mccain nazi want to bees...you let us know. When ya learn how to add and subtract and how to see through teh bullshit that the federal government has pulled over your eyes like they have ours..then you'll come to the TEA party side. RP 2012!

  • @chronofusion

    you know ron paul disagrees with separation of church and state.

    hes honest but hes an idoit and so are his supporters.

  • @bakersk8r41 I couldn't care less about separation of church and state. Even if he succeeds in FINALLy convincing the majority of dumbasses in congress to at least achieve even 2 things ( end the fed, and restore constitutional freedoms. 4th amendment back to Indiana state *NO THANKS TO U.S. SUPREME COURT JUDGE STEPHEN DAVID...FUCKING NAZI!! MAY 2011* ..for example)..it's STILL A HELL of a lot better progress in the CORRECT direction versus the past 5 or more presidents. ( continued)

  • @bakersk8r41 and YOU'RE the idiot if you think his supporters are idiots dealing with church and state separation. If you base voting on ANY president just off of ONE part of the entire piece of pie. YOU'RE the idiot. go vote for barry seotoro and his illegally dual citizenship elected ass again if you want. RP supporters will just have one more idiot to laugh at in addition to Saturday Night Live's cast. Research RP's choice & voting history vs all dems.You're fuckin welcome.

  • @bakersk8r41 I actually don't think that's the case. Not a big fan of most of Ron's thinking (minus his excellent criticisms of the War Machine, the security state and the debt oligopoly), but as a Libertarian who's always raving about that amateur hack, Ayn Rand, and who thinks the state should not regulate marriage at all, it would be quite odd if he were to support the union of church & state - which he doesn't.

  • where can i get Ron Paul bumperstickers?

  • @ozonewdb

    I know supporters on CafePress have been designing them and giving proceeds to the campaign which makes for more then any other candidate so far.

  • Ron Paul is absolutely correct. People deserve to know the truth, don't shoot the messenger!

  • Now we have to wait 40 more years for the 9/11 truth to come out, I hope I'll still witness this moment at the age of 93.......

  • stop Dr. PAUL! leave the american people alone! they do not care or want to know the truth. please just make sure they have fast food and pharmacies and tv. all this stuff makes them confused. i don't you talk about sport or something...

  • @democratsaresmart - bringing the troops home will not increase unemployment. Do you know why? Because they're STILL employed by the military. However, it will create jobs because they will be spending money in the US rather than overseas which pumps cashflow into the economy, which creates jobs, which stabilizes the market. I find it unfortunate that so many people in the US are oblivious to basic economic principles.

  • @udorawala

    I'd prefer to have the military on our soil ,protecting our borders rather than having a military ( police ) presence in 130 countries and be involved in several illegal wars in the Middle East , wouldn't you ? The tours of duty have been extended for many ( forced draft , in essence ) and that's not fair . I'm no expert on economics,that's for sure , but I trust Ron Paul for that . His book" A Revolution"A Manifesto proves that he is an expert on the subject.

  • @doogleandalix : yes, i totally agree. i just wanted to dispel the myth that unemployment and entitlement spending will rise if we end these wars (of which 4 of them are ILLEGAL: pakistan, yemen, libya, and somalia). the truth is that unemployment will actually go down. if fact, i read a DOD report stating that the US military employs 21000+ foreign civilians at foreign bases for support. when unemployment goes down, so will entitlement spending. we MUST bring our troops home.

  • @udorawala

    Well,glad we are both on the same page and neither of us is drinking the Kool Aid : )

  • @udorawala To hell with the troops. We shouldn't have any of them anyway. The emergent rioters and chieftons will do a better job of running the territory than the corporatist debt oligopoly aka the DNC-GOP fraud machine. Eliminate the military altogether. While I know that's not possible at this point, I do agree with your premise that unemployment & budgetary woes could be greatly assuaged by a withdrawal from all of our wars & bases & a drastic reduction of arms spending.

  • He's wrong. Lying is very patriotic in times of war

  • @shotsky94 Yes you are right, Joseph Goebbels, the German propaganda minister during World War 2 was very good at lying and he was considered very patriotic by the Reich and the German citizens. Gee, why would anyone think it's wrong for the government to lie to the people. And how would anyone ever think that they would get used to it and thus ulitmately get out of hand.

  • @Radwar99 if he didnt do that, they would've lost the war even sooner. lying is very patriotic if it's done for the greater good of the said country

  • @LegalizeDopeNow

    It's sad because the media does have such a profound impact on the presidential elections and they really only give a shit about Conservatives and Liberals and that, to me, is absolutely sickening.

  • Every time I watch a clip of this guy, he's saying something sensible and always says it in a respectful manner. It is absolutely shameful the way so many other politicians and media personalities portray him as a nutcase from the fringe. Absolutely shameful.

  • Then why do you associate with racist Tea Party birthers?

  • 4,764 thumbs up and 33 thumbs down, makes ya wonder who thinks Ron Paul is wrong. Could it be that the elite watch youtube ??

  • lol my ass played a Chopin etude 3hen my bf was grinding against me against our grand piano

  • So.. RP wants to get out of Iraq. In that case what does he propose to do about Iran going into the territory and taking it over to inflict their totalitarianism on. I don't know why people complain about Iraq so much. Iraq has been stable for years now. It can't even technically be called a war because the only bombing that occurs for the most part are from suicide bombers who take other muslims along with them. Muslims killing muslims is the main death toll there.

  • @lauraleesmithagain Iraq has been stable for years now? You're sure because the media says so? I've got a friend there. Was sent in for a year starting Sept. 2010. He doesn't share your opinion. The reason soldiers aren't being killed in large numbers is because they've settled in and are better able to protect themselves but stable is not a word my friend would use to describe the situation. You're right about not technically being called a war, wars must be declared. It's actually occupation

  • @1960rlv Well I guess it depends what you mean by stable then Yes I was referring to the less deaths. There will always be suicide bombers. The problem is that people keep saying they want only wars that they can go in and then go out and leave- but there's no such thing. If you look at history all the major wars (aside from vietnam which we lost) that we were successful in we've had to stay in for a minimum of a decade. But people think our previous major wars were much shorter. Not true.

  • @lauraleesmithagain No offense but you're absolutely a mindless fuckin drone. Since when is it the US's problem what happens in the middle east? People like you make me sick

  • SPREAD THE WORD

    buy lawn posters,car stickers and MENTION his name to your friends WITHOUT getting to into it, nobody likes to talk about politics..

    Ron Paul needs your help, the media isnt going to help him you have too

  • WAKE UP AMERICA, FOR GODS SAKE AND THE SAKE OF THE WORLD WAKE UP!!!

  • My mind has been made up since 2008

    Ron Paul 2012

  • @76smittenkitten DAMNRIGHT..MOST of the politicians ( clinton, carter, nixon, bush's, barry seotoro, most of congree since 1913 or 1917 ( depending on if you followed the first real time the debt limited was raised or whatever event(s) that happened in 1913 coherent to causing massive long term problems in america=SHOULD be tried for treason AND FIRED WITHOUT PENSION WITHOUT THEIR PRECIOUS SECRET SELECTIVE RETIREMENT FUND..they should have to find a job and SUFFER like the rest of us. cheers.

  • If I may, please;

    America I beg of You. Look into Ron Paul's issues. This guys is as genuine as they come. Mr. Ron Paul is the American system working, literally handing us the "right guy."

    He puts his nation/Constitution first before himself as his 22 year track record indicates.

    Please, Mr. Ron Paul for Republican Nomination and then President 2012.

    Thank You

  • @ggeorgewashington 35 years

  • the USA has become the country of double standards!!.. as R.P. points out

  • Powned...

  • RON PAUL 2012- the last honest man in Washington.

  • Everybody that believes in Ron Paul's message TELL EVERYONE YOU MEET!!! ask them if they have heard of him, you'll be surprised how many haven't, but its time to put an end to that. Let your words spread his message like a wild brush fire.

  • The political structure the U.S. has adopted, is mainly due to the fact that, the common person does not hold them to a higher standard. Perhaps if we hung a few of them on Capital hill after such lies, it would change the way politicians conduct themselves..

  • @cruiseplatoon i dont wish death much less MUCH physical harm on anyone , BUT.facts ARE facts..back in the bible days..( around when supposedly jesus christ etc..etc..was around...when someone was stealing...their hand was chopped off...and even thought he QUANTITY of population grow...the PERCENTAGE of theft kept DECLINING. thus I HONESTLY MUST admit to agreeing with your main overall point. TIME OUT DOESN'T FUCKING WORD...TIME TO TEAR UP SOME ASSES! w w w . apathetic - usa . com  (no spaces)

  • julian assange is a prick he is the neil sheheen of today... come on fuck yall youre idiots if the government lied about the documents they might lie about the deaths too get your head out of your asses its fucking the us.. fucking idiots no successful country releases all classified information are you mad?????

    RON PAUL 2012

  • Ron Paul is a fake. He believes the official story of 911.

  • @UNTC321 so do all the other politicians, at least "officially". what's your point?

  • @UNTC321 Which is what? That we were attacked because of our foreign policy like our investigations first said?

  • @zombiefitnezz lol that the best you can come up with? Ron Paul hates America? Maybe, maybe you're right. Maybe he hates the America that has been created outside the US Constitution based on fascist and comminust political ideologies and forced through in the name of "Progressivism". For that matte I hate that America too. But You know what bud, I am ready and willing to give my life to fix it. How bout you ever do something for your country and not yourself?

  • It's funny how the video skips at around 0:43-0:50 as he talks about the Neo-Conservative regime and the details on the World Order. Looks like these "skips" may have been well timed, acting as a censor.

  • @LivingthaDreem Not the first time!!!!!!!!

  • MAY 5, 2011! DEBATE DAY MONEY BOMB! LibertyPAC

  • Ron Paul is to smart to run America.

  • wanting things to be open and free rather than secretive- like going to war and stuff? That means he hates america? No...it means he doesn't trust the military industrial complex you fool- big difference

  • Comment removed

  • Ron Paul is one of the only good politicians this country has had for a long time. He genuinely cares about the american people not just corporations. It isn't too late to turn this country around and point it in the right direction once again.

  • RON PAUL americas last hope. All americans VOTE RON PAUL in 2012.
