I agree RP won't be president, but he does make all kinds of sense on many issues. Let's hope some pols that CAN get traction notice that his stances on our ridiculously bloated military and corporate FP and take up the banner. Americans are tired of paying for our military to make the world safe for KFC and McDonalds. None of the benefits come back to us.

Well, Ron Paul and his followers have complained that he doesn't get the media attention he deserves. Now that he has it, that's the sort it will be, looking for stuff precisely like this. Most of our media, certainly CNN, is not interested in serious policy discussions. Only in the gotcha stuff that gets viewers. And Paul will now have to walk through that bit of fire. At least as long as his 15 minutes in Iowa last.

Yes the more we listen to him and the more votes he gets, the more the establishment and the Military Industrial Complex will become worried. I am shocked it took this long to become front and center. Also OWS helped change the dialogue to the record wealth disparity. More and more realizing how dangerous the right wingers, Zionists, FOX News, Koch Bros really are to our future.

<<<After she had asked the same question maybe a half dozen times and he answered it the same way each time - Ron Paul eventually became frustrated and took off his microphone and walked away>>> I don't see this as a gotcha question and I don't think Ron Paul is that honest. Those statements did appear over 20 years ago in a news letter under his name and where he made money. Has his views changed? If so by how much? I think he has to answer those questions.
