Ask you for your support you know not on on January 3 it.

But there's no reason to be despondent about how how this country is going right now.

We do the right thing and I believe that most people in this country you know what the right thing is that it.

The country has lived within our means and therefore I -- that first year to cut federal government spending by one trillion dollars.

But I was Ron Paul on the campaign trail in Iowa yesterday poll showing he's pocketed there are bought the Texas congressman.

Responding to harsh words from his rivals Mitt Romney Michelle Bachmann among others Saint Paul will not be the nominee Newt Gingrich says.

He wouldn't even vote for.

Doug -- is a senior advisor -- Ron -- -- been with him and I love it happens -- DC today Doug thanks for being with us.

Congressman Paul -- is being criticized by his rivals and others for among other things.

Claiming that America is to blame for 9/11 condemning the killings of bin Laden and Anwar -- -- -- and blaming the US for -- -- Iran has nuclear program.

Are those foreign policy views of mr.

Paul contrary.

To what most Americans think.

I think they would be if those were truly his sentiments but a lot of what he says.

And believes is misrepresented.

He believes strongly in the constitution.

And that if we want to go to war let's go to war he voted in favor of going after Osama bin Laden.

And he supported Israel in 1981 you -- -- out and well.

He opposed he opposed the way the assassination was conducted he felt it should have been done immediately when we win -- -- Americans should not blame for 9/11 because we had troops in Saudi Arabia.

No he hasn't said that he -- that is the reason.

That that is that is what many artists -- always fundamentalist.

Believe yeah -- believes that they believe that.

Yes that's true identity.

Observers including our own -- -- -- cars available on the west and others say.

They may not Ron Paul is incorruptible he's honest he's a good example of our foreign policy now is just in the last few weeks we have.

Troops on the ground boots on the ground in Australia.

For purposes of defending us against China.

So we borrow money from China to have American troops in Australia to defend us against China and now he's going to need a little more sanity.

That -- -- -- resonate with a lot of folks.

Just anecdotally based on all the emails we get here's what congressman Paul's rivals though are saying I wanna quote them will put it up on the screen.

Ron Paul's views are totally outside the mainstream of virtually every decent American that's Newt Gingrich.

Ron Paul is to the left of Barack Obama on national security easy into the left to Dennis Kucinich don't laugh that was Rick Santorum.

And this Ron Paul would be dangerous.

As president that's Michelle Bachmann your response to that -- There's nothing dangerous about the US constitution.

-- blocking the straits of Hormuz or some other action by I ran.

Was deemed as an act of war are what we decided we needed to react as a president he would take it to the US constitution.

To the US congress we would decide to declare war we'd win it -- and then we get out.

That's what he believes -- in US constitution is not dangerous right it's dangerous to take these risks.

-- -- -- Honorable way to bunch of subjects here wanna ugly he's our ergonomic ideas up on the screen we -- one -- -- in the introduction.

Cutting one trillion of spending in the first year old on.

Terminate five cabinet agencies lower corporate tax rate to 15% eliminate capital gains taxes.

-- the new health care law repeal sarbanes Oxley the corporate financial reporting.

The look dug a Rick Santorum took a look at that he -- you know what.

Ron Paul couldn't get congress to cut or eliminate anything since he's only passed one bill in twenty years in congress.

I double check that with a Library of Congress Ron Paul sponsored 620 bills he passed one.

And it was fairly insignificant.

Doesn't congressman Paul have a history of failure when it comes to getting his proposals passed.

You know the the greatest contribution he's made.

He doesn't -- a lot of credit for because he doesn't put his name on everything.

Was pulling back the curtain on the Federal Reserve for years ago Greg 74%.

Of this country didn't even know what the Federal Reserve is.

Today 78%.

Of the nation wants -- -- that Obama Romney would audit.

A waitress to make sure she pays taxes on her tip money.

But won't audit the Federal Reserve but thanks to Ron Paul we got a partial audit it showed in 2008.

That's sixteen.

Trillion.

Dollars.

That national debt was 141000000000016.

Trillion dollars was loaned out in interest free money.

To major banks in this country.

The people we've always had corruption in Washington but people are really angry because of corruption has reached the level that they're losing the value of their homes the value of their IRAs and Ron Paul's the only person with the guts to let it take this on one he's.

-- one more in -- are all great and we don't see -- in the fact that he has a strong organization.

In Iowa -- we setting -- -- she's very popular the polls demonstrate that he's -- near the top.

But there's a different Paula wanna ask you about -- a recent Washington Post poll of the 25%.

Of voters who view him favorably.

Nearly two thirds do not identify themselves as Republicans and among conservatives.

Only 8% view him -- -- Doug how do you win the GOP nomination.

-- numbers like that.

Well I'll give you some more numbers from that very same poll land from the recent poll last night that was released.

By NBC they show the perception is that Ron Paul can't win the general election and they show.

In the NBC poll 8% of registered Republicans don't think he can win the ABC poll.

Which shows that 9% think he can't win but that same poll.

Asked them to choose.

Between Barack Obama and Ron Paul and Ron Paul did better than Newt Gingrich and was with the statistical tie of Mitt Romney so we have a candidate who can win and the best evidence of that Greg is you don't see any Democrat -- -- -- on TV.

Puffing Ron Paul because they know he can win our.

He -- he can win in Iowa it's very strong there is pretty strong and some other states -- well.

You're very eloquent spokesperson so what -- -- thanks for -- weather expert --
