This hour long speech of Ron Paul's given last month at the National Press Club includes some items I've never heard him talk about in any other speech. I highly recommend listening/watching.

I used to believe that hogwash too. However, the GOP and DNC are largely one party, mostly Progressive, few Consitutional Conservatives or those from outside the beltway still willing to speak the truth as did Perot and as does Paul.

I really enjoyed that, you really get to know Ron Paul well in this video.
I did not like the host, or whoever that guy was asking the questions. I don't think he liked Ron Paul - why are Pauls interviewers always so hostile, subtle as it may be. He just didn't show the respect I would have liked to see. Plus, couldn't they get a second mic up there?
I did hear a lot that I hadn't heard before. One thing I liked very much was the Golden Rule being applied to other countries. How simple a foreign policy is that - and what a radical refreshing change that would be. The other was about the suicide killing, almost all of them because of "occupation". Bring our boys home and let them spend their money here! That's a stimulus.

Conndalisa Rice was on Hannity last night and she admitted in the conversation, that Bush's Progressive policies and used the word Progressive.

The Dems are hoping he will, he will drag at least 8% (that is where he is at in the polls, right ahead of "None of the Above") of the GOP voters away and guess what that means ................... Obama until 2017

Funny, in the RCP average I see Bachman, Santorum,and Huntsman behind Paul, and Perry, Gingrich, Romney, and Cain ahead of him...with Perry and Gingrich about 1 or 2 pts ahead...if we are going to stick with pure facts, you are either lying or uninformed.
