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.

It's a shame to see all the comments on here are over 2 months old. Even if he doesn't have a chance for the GOP nomination we can still support him & his message. Universal healthcare isn't just wrong because it pushes us towards socialism, it's unattainable. We simply can't afford it. check it out here…

He voted against regulating the internet.
i want you to get up a go to your window and yell out, " IM AS MAD AS HELL, AND IM NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!!"
How could anyone vote for one of those other jokers, you ask? Simple… they NEVER get to hear Ron Paul's message because of the mainstream media's near total black-out. That's why it's up to us. Go door-to-door and wake up your neighbors, friends and relatives. We may never get another opportunity for a candidate like this.
ON G4 interview! thanks for the reply
i have repeatedly hear him say the opposite of what you claim. where are you getting this?
Do you know he is not for maintaining internet neutrality which is a big format responsible for spreading his message? Don't get me wrong he has my vote. I wish he would study this.
The man is simply genius. Just watched the entire vid (s) and everything he touches base upon has been thoroughly considered and thoroughly discussed with wisdom, not for personal corrupt gain. 2,000+ Kudo's! RP 08'
Dr. Paul has brilliant logic on every issue put in front of him. I am super impressed with him. How could anyone vote for one of those other jokers.

Ron rocks. All the guys and gals from the newspaper who are wearing suits need to learn to sit on their coat tails to avoid that collar crunch. Doctor Paul ain't got it.

That is weird but he is an old man. None the less we love him and he's gonna win!! Id like to see "the others" in this seat!!
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.
favorite quote: "We shouldn't be intimidated to think that if the government didn't do it it wouldn't happen. The truth is, the government has no money."
ty for the post! Every question Dr. Paul answered made 100% sense in 5 different ways! RP is my hero! and he will be our next President!
