You didn't even give the video a view, did you?
That is an old interview. Stossel has been part of the Fox Business News team and off of ABC's 20/20 for quite some time now. Nonetheless, Paul's opinions remain consistent. He has not shifted his views to garner more public approval. Such cannot be said of some of the other GOP candidates (Romney especially).

Hmmmm Anyone care to debate any of Ron's views on the USA?
Good morning,

This is a video from the 2008 campaign while Stossel was still at ABC. Now that he is at Fox Business, Stossel is the only news anchor that supports Ron Paul's views since he IS a libertarian.

In fact, 90% of Stossel's Fox Business show topics are about (and in support of) Ron Paul and libertarian-minded ideas.

I'm all for debating Ron Paul's views, where do you want to start?

It might be a short debate since it seems we're on the same side of the issues.

In addition to the young (who see their economic future dissolving before their eyes), anyone who is willing to think for themselves (rather than obey what the powers-that-be, through the media, tell them to think), and has the intelligence to see that the last 30 years of Big Government (serving only the largest Big Businesses) has been disastrous for America, should strongly support Ron Paul.

Here's an interesting discussion of the demographics of Paul supporters, and why polls consistently UNDERestimate his support: "Only 25 percent of Ron Paul Supporters previously considered themselves Republicans. A high percentage of those probably did not vote in the 2004 or 2006 primary due to dislike for the Bush policies...the reason pollsters are undercounting Ron Paul voters is because they are counting 'likely republican primary voters' which they determine by whether the person voted previously in recent republican primaries....The 50+ population is probably under-represented in this data because of lack of Internet use from which this sample data is taken." Demographics of Ron Paul Supporters | Ron Paul 2012 | Sound Money, Peace and Liberty (http://www.dailypaul.com/977/demographics-of-ron-paul-supporters - broken link)

And be sure to memorize this line from the post above: "Voting for Dem/Rep will give us more the same, not change." Spread the word to everyone you know, because some people out there are still gullible enough to believe the false promises that flow from Republicrat politicians during presidential campaigns.
