Ron Paul: ‘I’d like to think of myself as the flavor of the decade’

By Felicia Sonmez

Ron Paul is no flavor of the month.

Asked on CNN’s “State of the Union” about Saturday’s Des Moines Register poll showing him surging into second place in Iowa, the Texas congressman and GOP presidential hopeful said the survey reflects that his positions on economic and foreign policy issues have been “striking a chord with the people.”

The Washington Times' Eli Lake, who referenced the clip last night, described it as "a nice three minute summary of [the] foreign policy philosophy" of neocon extremist and McCain and Palin aide Michael Goldfarb. It certainly is that (though I think Goldfarb's "foreign policy philosophy" is more aptly summarized by (1) send other people but never me off to fight in endless wars; (2) vest the President with the powers of a King to prosecute those wars; and (3) the overaching objective is to serve the interests of the Israeli government, which can do no wrong).

After their recent exchange during a "Larry King Live" interview, Congressman Paul challenges Ben Stein (and others who share his position) to a public debate over our nation's foreign policy and what truly motivates terrorists.

Congressman Ron Paul (R-Texas) confronts Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke on monetary policy, and says that Fed policy has not helped to stabilize the economy over the last 30 years or so. Paul asks how the Fed can manage monetary policy if it doesn't have a definition for a dollar. And, he adds, gold is the true long-term measurement of value.

Ron Paul is one of only three reps who voted against this bill... and the media completely ignored it!

This bill targets any media that is against American foreign policy.

This bill is almost a carbon copy of a bill passed by Congress in 2008, H.Res.1069, which condemned the use of television programming by Hamas to indoctrinate hatred, violence and Antisemitism.

After months of a grueling primary, it is not yet clear where the younger Paul’s savvy campaigning ends and his true ideological impulses begin, particularly on national security and foreign policy. No one is entirely sure how to reconcile his more blistering critiques of the war during his father’s campaign with his more hawkish pronouncements – particularly on Iran as “a dangerous threat to the Middle East” and against closing the Guantanamo Bay prison – during his own campaign.
