Just a reminder that Ron Paul will be appearing on Jon Stewart's 'Daily Show' in just about 90 minutes. It will be interesting to see what kind of reaction Dr. Paul gets from the audience, as, believe it or not, many cite the Daily Show as THE source for political news and commentary. (Scary, but true.)

I'm not sure there is a 'live link', but Jon Stewart interviews of this nature usually turn up on 'You Tube' within a few hours after the conclusion of the show.

Perfect! Thanks!

I feel like I am witnessing a fairy tale here. Is it time to start thinking that he is going to become a serious contender?

He did a good job. I doubt he will be a major candidate, though. Our system is run too much by money, not ideas. I disagree with Ron on a lot of stuff, but he's a decent person with good intentions. Unlike most of the other Republican candidates.

I was a bit dismayed by his defense of the free market, while somehow saying that Enron and so on were aberrations. What's the difference? Exxonmobil is doing exactly what Enron did. Does he think a lack of govt. oversight will somehow make the Enrons and Halliburtons suddenly turn honest? Hopelessly naive.

Of course, four minutes is not enough time for him to make his points, but jeez, maintaining that Microsoft is a GREAT example of a good corporation? EEEEEEK! They've been one of the most predatory companies in history. How many people have lost everything trying to compete with them, with better products at a lower price? The thing is, unregulated big business depresses true competition and innovation. Windows is the perfect example: Apple's OS was 100 times as good, but MS used its marketing clout to turn Apple into a mom and pop operation.

?????

What "free market"? We don't really HAVE a "free market". Let me give you a personal example.

I have some dairy animals - cow(s), and goat(s). I would dearly love to be able to freely sell raw dairy products. But, I am not "big" nor do I live in an area which is populous enough to be able to expand my "operation" much more - simply because there won't be a large enough customer base. It IS legal in TX to sell raw milk; BUT only if you get "Grade A" licensed by the state specifically for the purpose of selling raw dairy products (and then your "customers" must come to you; you CANNOT have your products on the shelf of the local store) - which means regulations, fees, etc... It will be forever "cost prohibitive"; the fees alone would be more than what I could make from my dairy products. This is NOT a "free market" as the consumers in this area are not REALLY allowed a choice - because of regulations, they are FORCED to buy only commercial (read pasteurized, homogenized & fortified) diary products; and as a producer the same regulations prohibit me from being able to give them that choice. If someone in this area WANTS to buy RAW dairy products, they should be able to. I would be more than happy (and in fact would ENCOURAGE them) to let them come out and inspect my animals and facilities; and ask questions about anything which may concern them such as what the animals are fed, or the animals getting vaccinations, antibiotics, hormones etc... (They are all free-range, eating totally organic, and are 100% vaccine, antibiotic, and hormone free)...

I believe that is what Ron Paul was talking about with "free markets" - removing those obstacles which currently prevent both consumers and producers from being able to take part in markets which are currently under total control of big corporations.

But all that aside, there is something else about Ron Paul which puts him so far ahead of ANY other politician that it's not even a contest is the fact of his recognition of our fiat currency system, and the desperate NEED for getting us back to the gold and silver standard!!! Our current fiat system is so totally corrupt it's unbelievable! There is literally NO LIMIT to the "printing presses", which is THE reason for the shape the country is in PERIOD! Without this limitless "money" supply, Bill Gates could never have dominated the market the way he did. Banks simply could NOT so freely issue credit the way they do, people could NOT outspend their means the way they do (and that goes double as to government spending), and there would be MUCH LESS disparity between the "rich and the poor"..... Like you said "it's about the money" concerning Paul's nomination - and a change back to the gold and silver standard would allow people like Ron Paul to actually be "in the running".

Make no mistake, the fiat currency is 100% responsible for the true amount of inflation we are seeing (as opposed to the "doctored" numbers the government is giving us), and we WILL eventually go into hyperinflation - just like EVERY nation on the planet in history has done under fiat currencies. THAT is when the shit will truly hit the fan...
