This is a video about the Fiat money system and is quite good and has snippets of interviews with Ron Paul. It is a documentary.

Keep watching after the credits. More interviews with Ron Paul.

He's generating a tremendous amount of buzz. It won't translate into success in the polls though because the pollsters are constructing the polls to marginalize him.

He got elected because he's from an obscure district in Texas.
I had never heard of him until Thursday, when I heard I heard a talk radio guy talking about how his campaign was effectively over. Then I saw the discussion of him here, and, when I looked into it, I found out that I agree with almost every one of his positions.

I still haven't seen any discussion of him in the main stream media except for the breif interview on CNN.

He was just talked a lot about on the View. Definitly becoming more mainstream.

Was that Jay Severin on 96.9? I actually heard him seriously lauding RP's foreign policy after the debate.

Bill Maher called Dr. Paul his hero tonight after his performance in this weeks debate. He also called out Chris Dodd for distorting what he said in the debate in an interview with him.
Maher said he wanted to get Paul back on his show and I'm guessing he will get treated better this time around.
Here's the link for that section of Maher's show

I love how Maher actually smacks down Chris Dodd when he also tries the straw man attack on Ron Paul.

Of course, Maher still isn't going to like RP's position on healthcare and education but at least he's backing him up on the foreigh policy front.

Thanks ojc, I've been waiting to see that.

Ron Paul may actually end up getting a small following from the left; lord knows the right hates libertarians more than the left does.

How many times is Bradley Whitford going to be on that damn show?

There was this hilarious comment on digg where a guy said he had a really weird cognitive dissonance moment because there was a link to Rosie defending RP right next to a link to Pat Buchanan defending RP.

Re: ***Official Ron Paul video thread***

By the way, in case you don't know, Ron Paul now has an official channel on YouTube, called RonPaul2008dotcom. You should subscribe. His YouTube subscriptions are about to surpass Barak Obama.

Ron Paul with Hannity and Colmes after the debate.

I have to admit, I have a lot of respect for what Ron Paul is doing. Running as a Libertarian is pretty pointless, but running as a Republican, and challenging people to take him seriously, is actually getting him some attention.

Did anyone catch RP on CNN this morning? Anyone know if it's been uploaded yet?...

Ah, doh! I missed it again.

This is a great fan video analyzing the rudy vs ron debate moment. The narrator did a really good job.
