Last week the Republicans had another debate, this one on FOX News. Not much has changed in the last few months; Rudy Giuliani is still in the lead in the polls and Fred Thompson is still in second despite the fact he didn't announce his intentions to run until a few days ago. What has changed, and changed for the worse, is the surging popularity of a Texas Congressman by the name of Ron Paul. I've been running into normal, intelligent people who support Paul, and it really scares me. The reason Paul is as popular as he is has...

Ron Paul and Bill O'Reilly had a lively debate about foreign policy. I think that O'Reilly, while granted he kept interrupting Paul, got the best of him in this debate. In the final minute or so, while O'Reilly did falsely accuse Ron paul of opposing the Afghan war from the beginning, Paul did come back & call for the withdrawal of American soldiers from Afghanistan. O'Reilly also got Paul when O'Reilly made the distinction between Saudi & Iranian policy toward terrorism...the Saudi government does not sponsor terrorism, unlike Iran. Also around 3 minutes or so left, didn't Paul condone the...

On Tuesday, September 11, the SAIS Center on Politics and Foreign Relations (CPFR) and the Financial Times hosted an event with congressman and presidential candidate Ron Paul, entitled "A Traditional Non-Intervention Foreign Policy." Congressman Paul provided keynote remarks, followed by questions from CPFR's director Robert Guttman, the Financial Times White House correspondent Andrew Ward and members of the audience. Here is a link to the audio of Ron Pauls' speech today at SAIS

Growing up in Green Tree, Dr. Ron Paul was a milkman, making deliveries to houses from his family's local dairy operation. It's not hard to believe, even looking at him now at age 72: You can picture his mature face and skin-on-bone physique clad in the trademark white pants with a thin black leather belt, white shirt and white hat. And in any case, it's much easier to imagine him delivering glass bottles to families in Dormont and McKees Rocks than delivering a radical, energizing political message to the masses. But there he was, standing in the conference room of...

Analysis: The antiwar Republican congressman from Texas poses a serious threat to Hillary Clinton and potential Democratic rivals in the general election. The presidential race has to a great extent turned into a two issue campaign, immigration and the war in Iraq. Democratic candidates are capitalizing on popular antiwar sentiments among the public but are swimming up stream by apparently supporting President Bush’s policy of turning a blind eye toward illegal immigration and unsecured borders. Republicans running for president, unless sentiments change, are generally positioned against public opinion with their support for the war, however, they are riding the tide...

Amid a lineup of what ought to be called "big government conservatives," Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul stands out like the Lonesome End on Army's 1950s football teams. Asked his policy on U.S. troops fighting in Iraq, the Texas congressman, now serving his 10th term, replies: "I would get them home as soon as possible." And U.S. troops in Europe? "I would get them home," Paul said in an interview Tuesday. "Having them stationed abroad doesn't serve our national interest, and that goes for forces in Japan and Korea. "We should only send U.S. forces abroad when our security is...

The latest Gallup Poll is out and it shows a small surge for Fred Thompson, while Mitt Romney falls, and Ron Paul falls along with him:WASHINGTON — Former Tennessee senator Fred Thompson has gotten a modest bump in support after finally announcing he’s running for the Republican presidential nomination, a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll finds. And Arizona Sen. John McCain may have started to turn around his beleaguered campaign.McCain, who bottomed out in a USA TODAY poll in mid-August after financial woes and a staff shake-up, has rebounded by 4 percentage points, to 15%. Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney has slipped...

It's not everyday that I show up for work and find protesters in front of the building, but that's what happened today. There were only two of them, but they had very colorful signs. A girl in a Ron Paul t-shirt was holding up a sign that read, "3rd World Nations Are Not a Threat to the USA." Her male friend held one that urged passers-by to "Stop the Neocon Madmen." Intrigued, two of my colleagues and I went downstairs to learn more about these neocon madmen and why they must be stopped. We offered the protesters National Review t-shirts...

Ron Paul 60 Minutes and Bill O'Reilly Appearances Could Slash Odds FurtherAt 8 to 1 odds of becoming the next US President, Republican Ron Paul must be a happy camper.  Too bad the mainstream media hasn't quite picked up on his grass roots popularity just yet though. But good news has come to the Ron Paul camp.  Media sources have been abuzz all day long Monday of the 60 Minutes camera crew arriving at Ron Paul's Washington office early in the morning.  Whether there will be a story on Dr. Paul or simply a general segment on the Presidential candidates...

<p>A good chance to see Ron outside the debate format. Not good.</p>

Statement on the New York City and Washington, DC Terrorist Attacks September 12, 2001 Yesterday, Americans were awakened to find ourselves in a war, attacked by barbarians who targeted innocent civilians. This despicable act reveals how deep-seated is the hatred that has driven this war. Though many Americans have just become aware of how deeply we are involved in this war, it has been going on for decades. We are obviously seen by the terrorists as an enemy. In war there is no more reprehensible act than for combatants to slaughter innocent civilian bystanders. This is what happened yesterday....
