Ron Paul in Des Moines gets hit with questions from emails in his interview on Fox news.

Ron first addresses the slander that he is a 9/11 nutjob by having spoken with Alex Jones. They ask Ron why he would associate with this person while he is a candidate for president.

Ron says:
“People I associate with, I don’t endorse their views. They come associate with me to endorse my views.”

He says disagreeing doesn’t mean he cant spend time with them, if that was the case he said he would never got on the networks.

He addresses the assertion that he is Libertarian, and asks back what is wrong with supporting the constitution?

Ron says he is perhaps more Republican than anyone else because he remembers what it means to be Republican and honestly conservative.

Ron Paul says:
“Look at my voting record, i am the most conservative candidate”

He states that the current “Republican base” may be the ones that lost their way.

He speaks out about the North American Union and President Bush pushing for a union with Canada and Mexico, he says there is a “plan in place” for a common currency and disolving the borders.

Charming, natural and intelligent….I admit I am taken and impressed by Doctor Paul as a person.

    Ron Paul destroys his competitors because he is actually telling the truth, which cannot be argued with rationally or logically. Nicely put article by the way. Also, Ron has like no campaign money… so he basically only has the internet. So screw all the people bagging on him for using the fucking internet to gain popularity, those corporate whores. Love,

    Joe

    Mr. Kraft,

    Have you seen what has happened at the ABC debate in Iowa? What has gone so terribly wrong in our country? Who is behind such evil reporting? What does this mean for Americans and how can we just stand by and let them (Rothschild or whomever that may be) tell us who will be President? I commend you for what you do as a true journalist in America.

    As any supporter of Ron Paul knows by now, he won’t be getting a fair shake in the establishment media. I think we know enough now to believe that generally speaking the media will lie to us so as to steer us in a direction which ultimately supports whatever their agenda happens to be, i.e., New World Order, North American Union, amnesty to illegal aliens, etc.

    Ask yourself how often are you happy and satisfied with what the government does for you?

    How often do you stand up and cheer because you feel like the government stands up for you?

    Are you more likely to describe the President, senators, or congressman as true American heroes or dirty rotten scoundrels?

    Do you feel that our government is now operating in such a manner that very accurately reflects, or somewhat reflects, or does not reflect very much at all the U.S. Constitution?

    Do you think that corporations, lobbyists (foreign and domestic), lawyers, foreign governments, and the generational rich have about as much influence in our government as any ordinary citizen? More? Less?

    Does thinking about the government and the things they do give you the warm and fuzzies and an overwhelming urge to sing Barney the Dinosaur songs (I love you, you love me…), or do you get feelings like anger, feelings of helplessness, and an overwhelming urge to just not think about these things because there’s nothing you can do anyway?

    You can do something.

    You can do whatever you can to help Ron Paul and his campaign. Join or start a meetup group in your area by going to meetup.com and running a search for Ron Paul in your area.

    You can contribute to his campaign. Just give what you can. It will all help.

    Please help Ron Paul.

    GO RON PAUL 2008!

    Ron Paul is the ONLY intelligent solution to our country’s issues. Research the Federal Reserve and you will find that it is OWNED by PRIVATE citizens and not the United States Government. Research the North American Union, Amero Dollar and the Real ID Act and you will find that all this was done without the consent or knowledge of the American people. Research the Patriot Act I and II and see how many rights you don’t have anymore. Their plan is to use fear to take our Money, Property and Civil Liberties. Without these we will become a union of electronically monitored slaves. Now ask yourself why no other candidate, Republican or Democrat, is addressing these issues and why. Are they not important? Are they being paid not to talk about them? Understand this: Americans will have a Verichip implanted in their bodies if Ron Paul does not win! Even the States are helpless to stop this from happening, as this will be the next step in the National ID Card process that the Department of Homeland Security is pushing very hard for. The people of this country are sick and tired of the lies told to them in the name of safety and security. All I’m asking from you is to research all this before you make a decision. It’s more important to pick a “person” than a “party”. Ron Paul will be our next President, as long as we all don’t use electronic voting machines, and will give us our country back. He truly is our only hope!

    Thank you, Michael, for looking honestly at Dr. Ron Paul. I am listening to Bill Bennett’s Morning in America show right now, and there is nary a word about Dr. Paul’s actually winning the online polls for this debate (ABC, Drudge). The Bennett team is still pushing Rudy Giuliani shamelessly and relentlessly. It’s rather sickening.

    Thanks for having a “people’s” point of view.

    This was an EXCELLENT interview as far as PR goes and you should ALL write to FOX (comments@foxnews.com) and thank them up and down for it. She asked him questions that he SHOULD have been asked in the debate but was not.

    He cleared up the guilt by association thing, which he has been attacked for in the past, with a very reasonable argument about freedom of association. The answer was perfect and fit in with his ideals about liberty. And it made a lot of sense. You can tell the interviewer was satisfied with the answer too.

    And if you listened carefully at the end, you would have heard her state her regret that she did not have MORE time to ask him MORE things, indicating that she LIKED him.

    This was one of the most in-depth and respectful interviews he has ever had.

    Please write to FOX and thank them!!!!!!!

    Ron Paul supporters are amazing at spamming yards and street corners and bumpers and clothing…they must have some intense computer software programs. Because everywhere I go I see RP supporters. I’d like to get a hold of this software and grow my business.

    Ron Paul 2008!!

    Just Come Home!! And guard our borders!!

    Legalize Freedom for America!!

  10. Dale on August 6th, 2007 12:44 pm

    Ron Paul represents what is best in America. Strong on defense, strong on personal liberties, and compassionate to the needy. He is the only candidate who does not fear monger and allow the terrorist to win by allowing fear of them to change our culture, our way of life, our principles of liberty.
    While in the military I studied terrorism and the war on terror in 1982. Yes for those of you who don’t know we have been at war with terrorism long before 9/11. Its just that 9/11 let the John Q public in on the news. In fact I would venture to say although in effective it was more prevailent than today with more attacks on U.S. Military than today ( Iraq and Afgahnistan would probably be more under the definition of terror tactics of an insurgency to an occupying force). The reason they were ineffective was because we knew the principle of fighting the tactic of terrorism is that terrorism is only as effective as you allow it to be by your reactions to it.
    Currently we have given a few isolated extremist groups nation status by declaring war on them. We have allowed them to cause us to deplete our national treasure, destroy our moral standing in the world by accepting torture, kidnapping, and adopting a preemptive war doctrine as our official policy, destroyed our rule of law by abolishing habeus corpus and posse comitus, and allowing one branch of our government to be above the law.
    I would say by every measure of success we have lost the war on terror by allowing fear of terrorism to change our definition of who we are as a people. Our only hope is to come to our senses and loose our fear of terrorism. Take back our country from those who would profit from our fears by electing a man who will restore our constitution and rule of law.
    If you wonder why Ron Paul has such a devoted following it is because his followers are Americans who fear no terrorist enough to give one one atom of our God given liberty. America wake up and stop cowering from our enemies.
    We successfully fought the war on terror for decades before 9/11. Few of you younger folks even know the names of Bader Meinhof, The Red Brigade, and Carlos the Jackal because they were utterly defeated through good intelligence, good police work and international cooperation and an occassional bump from the SAS, GS9, and Delta Force. We didn’t have to give up any liberty or change our way of life one bit. Because we knew to do so was to admit defeat.
    The war on Iraq (planned years before 9/11) not only had absolutely nothing to do with the the War on Islamic Fundamentalist Terrorism. If you people didn’t know it before like those of us who study the Middle East, Saddam’s Government’s greatest secruity threat was Islamic Fundamentalism. Notice the problems we are having with Sunni and Shite Fundamentalist now that we are in charge? How did Saddam avoid the problems we are having today? By brutally infiltrating and murdering anyone who discussed Islamic fundamentalist ideas like Islamic rule.
    In the name of our War on Terror we attacked and destroyed the greatest adversary of Islamic Fundamentalism and outlawed the only pro Western segement of Iraqi society the Baathist. Then threw away our greatest weapon against terrorism our superior morality and rule of law.
    As for the weapons of mass destruction? In 2001 prior to 9/11 Collin Powell is on record as saying Saddam had no weapons of mass destruction and posed no threat to us or his neighbors. Reports that Saddam tried to obtain material for a nuclear bomb were based on falsified documents that appear to have originated from the office of the Vice President the same office that outed the identity of a covert CIA agent in retaliation of her husbands public rebuke of the false documents.
    Are the Neo Conservatives that sold us and mismanaged the war in Iraq really so ignorant and incompetent. Is it merely a coincidence that these same people and their friends are making billions of dollars of profit from a life long war on terror. That these are the same people who say we have to stay to win the war on terror.
    If we were to take one tenth the resources waisted in Iraq we could have easily tracked down and destroyed all groups sympathetic to or part of Al Qaeda, and secured our borders. This is not a war on terror its a war on the American Republic and the Constitution.
    It is not that Ron Paul supporters like Ron Paul better than Romney or Hilliary. Ron Paul supporters realize our only chance to save this nation from becoming a police state controlled by our military industrial Corporate leadership as a welfare warfate empire is to elect Ron Paul and PROTECT THE CONSTITUTION, our American values and way of life.

    I am angered at the fact that they skipped a lot of answers from Ron Paul. I believe that was done deliberately. Yet, here they said that every candidate gets to answer all questions, well it did not look that way to me. The NY Mayor looked like a fool with the most coverage, some things he said, I had to laugh. I would like to ask him how the Iraq war effects our freedoms, except for taking away Civil Liberties. Noticed how only Cain answered the language question? What’s up with that? Because Ron Paul was not allowed to speak much on the debate, we should bombard the media with our complaints of the zero coverage Ron Paul recieves.

  12. Michael Kraft on August 6th, 2007 3:12 pm

    Kurt is being sarcastic, he is joking about how fast and furious Ron Paul supporters get the word out.

    As editor I can attest that I get 10 times more traffic on a Ron Paul article than on any other candidate.

    That means from actual searches for his name and links.

    Which is not about spamming, but about public interest and energy of the online staff and fans.

  13. joe on August 6th, 2007 9:38 pm

    When you listen to Ronn Paul he sounds like a person just speaking the honest truth, not another blow hard, say anything to win politician.

  14. Clay on August 8th, 2007 3:18 am

    I cant believe there are actually people in this country that believe isolationism is a good foreign policy. Let me help you guys out…..go read about how well isolationism worked after WW1. You might learn something.

    PS - Ron Paul opposes WW2….way to go Ron.

  15. Bill on August 20th, 2007 2:17 am

    Clay is against isolationism. When I told someone that Ron Paul will bring all our troops home from around the world, that was the first word he said: isolationist. For the record, i have heard Ron Paul respond to this charge. He is a Constitutionist, first and foremost. But secondly, he is in favor of free trade and and free association with people of foreign nations. No borders closed to interaction and intercourse. Hopefully borders to closed to illegal immigration, but this is reasonable and responsible. As is bringing home our military members to defend America, not play policeman and social worker and assassin around the world. And bring our 1000s of mercenaries and “subcontractors” home too. I don’t see this new form of military person talked about enough. Minding one’s own business is always a good thing - never called “isolationist’ on a personal level.

    Today in August 2007, the world financial systems and investment markets, real estate and the availability of credit are all under direct assault due to past actions of the Federal Reserve in the United States.
