Topics covered: economy, abortion, immigration, stem cell research, Iraq war, Iran, Afghanistan, foreign policy, nation building, the monetary system and destruction of the dollar, 911-what he would have done different, civil liberties, open government and privacy, ethics in government, marijuana and the war on drugs-legalization, Alternative energies (ethanol, hemp, solar, nuclear)-free market solutions, health care, homeschooling and private education, corrupt government, the primary system
On the issues:
IRAQ WAR: Only Republican member of Congress to vote against war in 2002 and would withdraw all U.S. troops in three to six months.
IMMIGRATION REFORM: Supports strengthening borders with more federal patrols and enforcing laws against employers who hire illegal aliens. Opposes guest worker or any form of amnesty to the 12 million people who got here illegally.
HEALTH CARE: Supports free market solutions such as health savings accounts and transitioning a refundable tax credit so more families can afford health-care coverage; voted to let citizens buy and bring cheaper drugs from Canada into the U.S.
EDUCATION: Voted against No Child Left Behind; supports $3,000 tax credit for families who participate in school choice. Opposes school vouchers as philosophically that means other taxpayers are subsidizing another family's schooling. He supports home schooling.
FEDERAL BUDGET/TAXES: During 19-year congressional career, Paul said he's never voted for a bill to raise taxes and voted against most federal budget spending bills. Would dismantle the Internal Revenue Service, repeal the federal income tax and is open to a national sales tax in its place, but only if the Congress made deep cuts in federal spending first.
ABORTION: Has an anti-abortion voting record, but opposes a constitutional amendment to ban abortion and instead favors letting states restrict the procedure as they see fit. Urges supporters to contend the federal judiciary that outlaws abortion restrictions lacks jurisdiction to take up the issue.
GLOBAL WARMING: Restrictions on pollution should be done at the state rather than federal level. He favors federal tax credits for research of alternative energy sources and says expansion of nuclear power is a "safe, clean" way to cut back use of fossil fuels.
GAY MARRIAGE: Would let the states set restrictions on marriage and voted against federal Defense of Marriage Act in 2004. Says marriage is a religious institution, but would not oppose states issuing licenses that recognized the union of same-sex partners.
STEM-CELL RESEARCH FUNDING: Supports expansion of research, but opposes federal funding for it.

FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH
The song by Buffalo Springfield. The lyrics are so true to what's going on now. I just sang it at karaoke and got tears in my eyes from the realization.
There's somethin happenin here
what is aint exactly clear
STOP HEY WHAT'S THAT SOUND EVERYBODY LOOK WHAT'S GOIN DOWN
IT STARTS WHEN YOUR ALWAYS AFRAID. THE MAN COME AND TAKE YOU AWAY YOU BETTER STOP.
YOUNG PEOPLE SPEAKIN THEIR MINDS, GETTIN SO MUCH RESISTANCE FROM BEHIND YOU BETTER STOP
is this like the only sane guy in your country?
I'm starting to think that the average American voter has his head in the sand. They're unaware of Ron Paul.
The lady is just mad because she will never have the need for an abortion.
Ron Paul is WISE.
Yeah, but the tea party fundraiser will also get lots of free publicity. Look at how the press has sat up and paid attention since Nov 5. It's a whole new ball game. Let's break all records on the 16th. I'm giving $250.00 next weekend. Two and a half times what I gave on Nov 5. I'm asking other people I know who are interested in Dr Paul, but not on the net, to give too!
He's taking the minutes for the meeting. So he's trying to write down everything Dr. P says.
Who is Ron Schmaul?
that lady isn't very nice!
The hoggish red-headed woman at the end of table is still angry about the abortion "debate" that she got creamed in in part 2. She can't even look at Dr. Paul.
I know. He looks like such a spastic little nervous weirdo doing that! There is no way he can be listening to Dr. Paul.
Paul here is 100% right. The reason why people in this country dont know this is because either they dont care, or the media funded by the interest groups supress it on your news. Search everything Paul is saying for those who dont know these things. Your future depends on it.
Ron Paul would kill Hillary if they were on the stage debating eachother easy. Or anyone 1on1.
Notice the guy in the green shirt?
ONE TONE VOICE!!! =) Haha!
Traitor? No Ron Paul is one of those who actully said that IF people want further investigation into the 9/11 issue we should provide it for them =)
I have not heard any other candidate say the same thing!
Open and truthful! That's Ron Paul for you
Ron Paul… Ron Schmaul he is a traitor in the face of evidence that Jews took the WTC down, and that four thousand stayed away from work at the WTC on 911.
What's with the dude writing a novel instead of listening to Dr. Paul's answers?
I think land mines on the border are the most efficient way of dealing with the problem. I dont understand why no one mentions their use.
Amazing, Ron Paul tells it like it is. He is the complete opposite of political double-speak. I don't agree with everything he says, but he is certainly the best candidate for president. He is honost and has incredible integrity. He will bring government back under the power of the people, not the special interests.
Zogby Analyst Says Ron Paul Strongest Contender to Beat Hillary
Fred Thompson falls behind Ron Paul
"Beware! My girl and myself sent our paperwork to The Board of Elections to change our party and promptly received our new registration cards. After examining the cards I am still registered Libertarian and she is still an Independent. We need to get the word out to everone changing parties to check their new cards ASAP. If you are unsure please call your local office to find out what party they have you affiliated with. Please forward and post this everywhere possible."
Do you mean that as a good or bad thing?
These are hard ass questions man (all parts of this interview)…i wonder how the other candidates would answer these…probably go around them. Haha but nope not the doctor =)
Psi powers are awesome…moving stuff with your mind?!! Awesome…like Dr. P =)
YOU SAID: "India and Pakistan did not sign the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty. Why doesnt Dr. Paul acknowledge this?"
HE SAID: "India and Pakistan got nuclear weapons but they didn't follow the non-proliferation treaty"
That is acknowledging it. Maybe you meant to ask a different question.
