These videos popped up last night on YouTube and I have to say it's one of the most remarkable political interviews I've seen. I'm not usually drawn to 'human interest' style interviews, but this one is very revealing.

Yeah, a candidate stripping on camera is always shocking...but seeing him dance to MC Hammer music was too much.
I didn't think he'd go all the way though...but I guess he's in it "all the way".

Perhaps you might consider some type of in home care...someone to wipe the drool off your father's mouth and help him 'remember' you and the rest of your family. You have my sympathy, dementia in the elderly is very difficult.
All joking aside, I like Ron Paul, but I'd never vote for him. He and I disagree on too many things...like the color of the sky and whether up is down and down is up.
Sure, him vs. Dennis Kuncinich and it would be a close thing...Dennis having all that charisma vs. Ron Paul's complete lack of pratical ideas. In that case I'd vote for Alan Keyes (who apparently can just show up and be "running" all along).

There's a lot of very positive things to say about Ron Paul but he simply cannot be picked in 2008 because he is a Republican and even a Republican who wants to bulldoze the Bush legacy and sow the ground with salt is still too Republican.
You need a clean break from the last eight years - it's not whether the next President will be better than Bush. Anybody is going to be better than Bush. It's about a statement of intent that Americans are going to regain the moral high ground, the intellectual high ground, the strategic high ground.
I suggest a compromise - the Democrats agree to nominate someone other than Hilary and the Republicans agree to vote for them. If you disagree, the Democrats will nominate her and make you sit through eight years of her leadership. Yeah, that compromise is looking pretty good right now, huh.

I dunno. I'm wondering if that 22% approval rating for congress is going to back fire. The democrats have really stepped up to the plate and consistently struck out on three pitches. I will grant they at least had the guts to put a few bills up to Bush for not just one, but two, vetoes. But I have doubts even if they had 66 votes that they'd do anything helpful.

Hello,
If Ron Paul isn't nominated, I would consider voting for any Democrat who promises to preserve and protect my gun rights.
So far, none have surfaced.
It's unfortunate, because Democrats seem to be big on other Constitutional protections and rights.

It's from this perspective that Ron Paul is the ONLY viable candidate. We need a clean break from the last eighty years and the same old, same old, republocrat crap ain't gonna cut it.

Heya Sarge,
What did you find particularly revealing about this interview? I'm not knocking Dr. Paul, but I didn't hear much I hadn't heard before--though his comment about his fellow congressmen passing the Patriot Act site-unseen "because 9/11 just happened, and they expect us to do something" was priceless. Depressing, but priceless.
It's awful that in all the election processes I've witnessed, simple dignity and sincerity are so rare. Why do Americans love travelling salesmen so much that we elect one every 8 years?
One thing's for sure, the GOP is a grand mess this year. If it weren't for our two party "system" none of these boys, except Dr. Paul, would be anywhere. If it weren't for 9/11 happening in NYC, Rudy wouldn't have a prayer of winning. Mitt's the John Kerry of the Republican Party. That Huck's been the front runner for the past few weeks speaks volumes. The Republican Party hasn't been this confused and diffused since What's-his-name lost to FDR.

Hey, hey, hey, don't be mean. We don't have to be mean, because, remember, no matter where you go, there you are.

Simon ? as opposed to roll over and play dead Pelosi ?
At this point I'll take what I can GET, a drowning man doesn't care whether it's an oak or a pine log he grabs, long as it keeps him afloat.
As for the Patriot Act, it has always disturbed me that they had it written and ready to submit ahead of time - am I the only one that strikes alarm bells to ?
You know he's pretty solid when you have an Anarchist shilling for him - Constitutional Compliance is at LEAST a start, and in that respect his views and mine reach unity.
