Texas Congressman Ron Paul appeared on the Sean Hannity Show on Monday, and the Libertarian leaning Republican confirmed possibilities for a 2012 presidential run.
“We are going to announce I’m going to form an exploratory committee,” Paul said. That announcement will presumably happen, according to Politico, on Tuesday afternoon in Iowa at the Holiday Inn near the Des Moines airport.
Paul is making the talk show rounds, appearing on programs like 'Fox and Friends' and dropping by the chatty den 'The View'. Along the way, Paul is also promoting and signing his latest book, ‘Liberty Defined.’
On 'Fox and Friends' Tuesday morning Paul pointed out two of the biggest problems in the U.S.—“militarism and welfarism.” He rightfully said the Federal Reserve does not have constitutional authority to print money and as far as a theme goes, not much has changed for Paul over the years.
“Freedom is the issue,” he said. Asked about the issue of “militarism,” Paul posed a question: “What if China did to us what we do in other countries?”
Paul’s dialog with Hannity was the most substantive, with the congressman responding to questions about entitlements, the war in Libya and troops in Saudi Arabia. Paul wants to “address spending overseas” and that approach will resonate with fiscal conservatives. He gave a nod to former CIA analyst-turned author Michael Scheuer as “the most knowledgable person about Osama bin Laden.” Scheuer, like Paul, has a non-interventionist platform on matters such as Libya.
Asked about the desire by some to introduce aspects of Sharia law into the judicial system, Paul said, “We have to defend our principles.” He does however acknowledge the right of the developer at the Ground Zero Mosque to put the building there.

Tried to be nice but you are a clear example of that futile act.
WTF does this mean
just another example of public school education
They wanted radical change from England..
I want radical change from the conservative safety net..
No one is entitled..... NO ONE..
OK.. Keith Ellison..
The Founders were in the middle of fighting a revolution and creating a Constitutional Republic. So I'd call everyone from Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, to the rank and file soldiers, sailors and all the rest, revolutionaries and patriots.
Today the optimum or equivalent term would be, Constitutional Conservative. That would return America to limited government, lower taxes, strong military defense with a focus on life and liberty for all.
>>>>>I want radical change from the conservative safety net..
There is no such thing as a conservative safety net. You're pissing in the wind with that BS. If you want to roll back the welfare state, fine. So do I.
Those that want to preserve SSA are conservative safety netters..
They want to conserve the status quo.. adjusted, of course, but preserved just the same..
It may be you thats pissing up a rope..
Conservatives want to roll back government largess and dismantle the welfare state.
You sound like a nutty Paultard.
Thanks.
Like G. Bush, Myth Romney, John McQueeg, Mike Huckabee, Trump, Karl Rove, Charlie Crankhammar..???
Get back on your meds, paultard.
I love you too.. Rhino nose.. ((( HUG )))
Not a conservative in the bunch.
Conservatives are whiners.. and why I'm a radical..
Conservatives are moderates.. Washington D.C. requires radical changes not moderate ones..
Most federal and state gov't workers are moderates.. they want their scam to continue..
Conservatives are for the status quo.. BECAUSE thats what conservative MEANS..
They want few and ...slow... if ANY change..
Any that think Washington D.C. needs merely conservative change don't know the situation..
...wth are you doing on FRee Republic?
Free Republic is the premier online gathering place for independent, grass-roots conservatism on the web. We're working to roll back decades of governmental largesse, to root out political fraud and corruption, and to champion causes which further conservatism in America. And we always have fun doing it. Hoo-yah!
FRee Republic is a conservative website/forum. You belong over at LibertyPost, or one of the other libtard sites.
Glad to see you are being so helpful... I must be blessed..
Your comicbook debate tactics aren’t working.
When you trash conservatism, you trash FRee Republic, mister paultard.
FR is about a Free republic.. not a conservative free republic..
In a free republic you can be conservative or radical..
You know..... because its "FREE"... and a republic.. not a democracy..

Like I said, when you trash conservatism, you trash FRee Republic. Your rhetoric is straight out of the libertarian comicplaybook. You're a Ronpaultard crackpot.
Does that make you a Bushbot?...
