Here is Ron Paul from the floor of the House speaking out against the Auto Bailout among other things. I have to admit I love hearing Ron Paul get animated like this for what he believes in. His opening remarks are rife with sarcasm. He argues that bailing out the auto industry is unconstitutional and it is morally improper to take money away from one group to give it to another group. Closing these remarks he says:
“…But those two arguments are rather weak arguments…” (tongue firmly implanted in cheek)
He goes on to talk about the economic ramifications. This is classic Ron Paul. You must watch this.
“What does $15 billion dollars mean anymore?”
“We are on the road to nationalization!… without a wimper.”
“.. Car Czar? It is such an embarrassment. It is such an insult to us who believe in freedom, who believe in sound money and limited government. It’s such an insult to the whole idea that made America great!. And this is what it has come to? Bailout after Bailout….”

Ron Paul on the House floor, still fighting for our freedoms, still tirelessly slugging his way through the tragic mess our government put us in…And now, after more than two years of being marginalized and called an extremist, I [still] believe he should be our President.
Marc, Thank you for posting this…dj

The article title is misleading. It makes it sound like Ron Paul is an embarassment, which couldn’t be further from the truth.
