Ron Paul discusses the state of the Republican Party with Bob Schieffer during an “Washington Unplugged” segment. He fields questions about his Internet support and money raising capabilities. He emphasizes the “young people” and the self-organizing nature of their support based on the message and not some centralized organization.

He also talks about how it is unbearable for him to even attend speeches like the one Obama delivered earlier this week and he lets it out that he hadn’t attended George W. Bush’s speeches either. Some will criticize him for admitting this, but it truly shows his own disgust for the apparatus he is part of.

In the second clip Paul discusses foreign policy, specifically Obama’s choice to send more and more troops into Afghanistan. He also discusses the economic crisis and how long it could last.

The clip ends with Paul’s sarcastic quip regarding “accepting the Constitution again.”

Watch both clips below.
