So, where is the link from CSPAN? You really don't expect us to consider Youtube a reliable source, do you?

Sorry about that... my level of distrust doesn't go so far as to suspect that someone faked a full 33 minute CSPAN interview.

You will have to click here...
http://www.c-span.org/VideoArchives....ays=100&Page=2

then go to the bottom of the page.

The link provided is a javascript link so I cannot provide a direct link to the video.

that is where the link is located now... I am sure that if someone clicks on it in a few days that may chance since these are archived videos and the archives increase all the time.

Thank you. Relying on Youtube is worse than relying on Wikipedia.

And I can be a pretty distrusting person when it comes to politics.

Thankfully it was easy enough to find.

Brief Overview of Congressman Paul’s Record
He has never voted to raise taxes.
He has never voted for an unbalanced budget.
He has never voted for a federal restriction on gun ownership.
He has never voted to raise congressional pay.
He has never taken a government-paid junket.
He has never voted to increase the power of the executive branch.

He voted against the Patriot Act.
He voted against regulating the Internet.
He voted against the Iraq war.

He does not participate in the lucrative congressional pension program.
He returns a portion of his annual congressional office budget to the U.S. treasury every year.

Congressman Paul introduces numerous pieces of substantive legislation each year, probably more than any single member of Congress.

I lived in Austin, TX for 16 years very close to Ron Paul's base and in my opinion he is a nut.

Libertarians do not live in reality. If they ever were able to implement their vision of gvoernment there would be chaos.

Esther, I am on the run here and don't have time but when I do I w ill try and research all of the screwy positions he has taken.

Right off the bat if I am not mistaken I believe he advocates legalizing drugs (his fan club can correct me if I am wrong) and prostitution.

The very core philosphy of libertarians is that the government should do almost nothing and in their naivity they don't realize chaos would reign.

Ron Paul is also an isolationist who mistakenly believes we can just ignore the rest of the world and it and it's threats will go away.
