House members watch from their offices, and also, thousands watch C-Span, so Dr. Paul always has a big audiences.

It would be nice if afghanistan heard this speech. Then they would know that we are all not bad people. Perhaps they already know that, but are busy fighting for their homes.

Isn't it funny the wars we will fight under the pretence of national security, when in fact it is "special interests". "Greed", is the reason we fight wars. Oil, lithium, opium, and we are the worlds biggest terrorists are but a few of the current reasons. Your news stations will not report this as their mouths have been sown shut when the truth may hurt someone of great power. The american government is as tyrant as the "Nazi Empire". This current government wants world domination. Ya! Think!

Ron Paul is spot on. I love this guy.

[killerbee2k]

I support my governments military aid to the US troops in Afghanistan, though trivial as it is, we are allies and shoould support each other. But I really do hope the US begins talk with Taliban and the other groups, you cant have a central government in a disenfranchised multipolar country. Its ridiculous.

i love how the seats are almost always empty everytime. Ron paul is probably one of the many few who show up and actually give a damn about Americans and its future.

30+ years Ron Paul hasn't changed one bit on us.

50+ years we've been using the TV & the gov. media complex as our source of OPINION.

People that aren't for Dr. Paul in anyway, I think ignore intuition...

RON PAUL 2012 BABY!

[Wolffanator]

The last sentence in your comment is pretty accurate for a lot of people who voted for Obama, I agree, not all of them, but a lot of them. A lot of it wasn't so much about him, but against Bush, you have to give people a little bit of understanding after 8 years of that. I liked Kucinich, but I'm used to my guy never even having a chance, lol.

I'm a Ron Paul supporter. Ron is not my God! Even if he follows the constitution, he will always be a man. I do not worship Ron Paul, but I agree with his notion...Ron has a way of saying" our gov is corrupt" without insulting the regime personally!

[2012Liberty1]

Bring em home!

Ron paul 2012!

You're a "ignorant, kool-aid drinking, lemming who only gets information from the corporate media." (Sorry, couldn't resist).

Seriously though, I think ur right in ur last sentence. I think the difference is that many are gung-ho for Ron Paul b-c of his well-articulated stances & principles whereas those Obama-zombies I've come across seem to like him cause he's "cool" but they lack substance. They mock Bush yet they voted for one who voted to re-authorize PATRIOT Act, fund the war, etc.

Ron Paul stands for the constitution and I love and respect him for that. He has inspired me in ways nobody else has. I actually beleive in America once again. There is hope. And I realize one person can make a differerence.
