Ron Paul’s appearance on HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher is below.

They discussed free markets, foreign policy, and the drug war in the six minute interview.

The best part of the interview was Paul’s answer on the drug war which garnered the most applause.

Unfortunately, the panel following Ron Paul’s interview (not shown in the clip) was made up of socialist birds of varying degrees. Maxine Waters, one of the first law makers to push for bank nationalization said she liked Ron Paul, but he was a “true believer”.

I suppose having principles and sticking to them is completely foreign to most in government. Given what they are used to hearing that isn’t surprising.

Watch the Ron Paul interview portion below.

    OMG, Bill Maher is such a socialist. I was shocked and dismayed by the panel following Dr. Paul’s appearance. Bank nationalization, how great we are fighting in Afghanistan, let’s get to Pakistan before they get to us… Even Bill Maher made a couple of borderline snide comments about Dr. Paul’s stand. The show was scary!

    Sally,

    It sickened me to hear some of the things the panel said following Dr. Paul’s appearance. When I hear such things it strikes a blow to the hope I have for America remaining America in the years to come.

    I couldn’t bring myself to put up the panel discussion on YouTube.
