pretty much i used to work with cars when ron paul used to work in the united states congress and ron paul is known as dr no because there is never a spending bill that he like he's against all government spending is wrong possible what is wrong with that ok that is what you know everything you've heard about ron paul on this program sounds attractive i'm sorry i'm not going to vote for anybody in this election ok i don't vote but you know everything we've heard here what's wrong with ron paul in. well there are a number of things wrong with ron paul first of all a lot of americans like government spending the better drive american slice of security they like medicare they like their highways they like their bridges they like a lot of things government provides for libraries to schools to all the other things government does and ron paul pretty consistently doesn't want any government to do anything he also by the way is forest with republicans on foreign policy in fact his foreign policy probably will closely approximates the democrats but it's even to the left of them ron paul does

well joining me to discuss ron paul's popularity among young voters is mary wells said areas of ron paul supporter and volunteer organizer for the ron paul los angeles liberty headquarters nice to see you mary so ron paul he hasn't won a single caucus yet but he is not giving up is he and i there is fans. no he's not giving up we're only halfway through this and ron paul is in this to win this and actually it's incorrect liz he did win the caucus in the virgin islands and since then in many other states he's had the strongest showing as far as delegates are concerned and we know that that's what actually wins the race now at this point mary many people would say that paul ron paul is likely if not likely that he's going to make it to the white house and if that ends up being the case what is next for ron paul and his followers and this whole movement well like i said we're only halfway through this lives and ron paul is not giving up and neither are the people giving up on him. as you just saw and showed you know the crowds are growing three to five thousand or five you know are showing

of the libertarian ron paul become the fourteenth floor you know hold. so mary why would there be it after it's a silence why what is the motive behind ignoring him. exactly as i mentioned you know ron paul you know he's not the establishment candidate he does not represent the things that. benefit these big corporate core pot corporate government sponsored organizations and the corporatocracy you know ron paul is the exact opposite he's the patriot for the people and you know that's why they don't give him any coverage because he actually can win they like to misreport on his delegate when they like to misreport on his caucus wins in the size of them so you know nobody gave him any cracking credit for winning the caucus in the virgin islands and that's just and say so if they want to call mitt romney the winner for winning eight delegates in the virgin islands and i guess that we can call ron paul the winner in maine is out of colorado where he took all the delegates now it's already earlier we played a clip there of ron paul he was raising suspicion of

quote it is time it is time for a groundswell of ron paul supporters to quietly respectfully but firmly make their position clear to the mainstream media and the g.o.p. establishment simply pod no paul on the ticket means no vote for the g.o.p. and november are now married you think that that's what needs to be done in order for him to be taken seriously for some of his followers to put their foot down and say hey we can impact the outcome of this election. you know i don't know how to answer that question i'm unsure of how a third party would run i think if i don't think that people don't want. you know that's a tough question i think that ron paul is on the republican ticket because there's finances there to run up against obama i think people would be doing themselves an incredible disservice if they don't vote for ron paul because in my opinion the other candidates have no chance of winning this race against barack obama because these other candidates support everything that barack obama has done wrong since he's been in there as far as bailouts are concerned increasing the debt cei

right now it's a tight race for second place between rick santorum and ron paul. to go to cnn's paul vercammen out at republican party headquarters in bellevue, washington now. we're getting more numbers, right had. >> that's right, wolf. the county to the north, snow home ash county, officially, romney 1,841, paul 1,081. so that's 1,081. santorum, 973 and we have 443 votes for newt gingrich. so romney is still running well, paul doing well in that county. one of the most populous counties in washington state. i'm going to bring the chairman back in, kirby wilbur. we have a question. this is interesting. you are an unpledged delegate. >> correct. i'm state chairman. >> whoever wins here tonight, do you then go ahead and endorse that candidate? >> i am uncommitted until we have a nominee. i have to be the referee and judge and baby-sitter of this process. i have to remain uncommitted and have the appearance of being fair to everyone. i won't commit until we go to tampa and have a nominee. >> we appreciate you telling us that. the numbers are starting to come in. whe

the republican primary coverage and media outlets certainly aren't the only ones on the plug on ron paul so why is the establishment so afraid of this dark horse and how low are they willing to go to kill his campaign. if you like we are living it in your words your government and it's awful because at least i'm pleased is like the middle east you know. you do know that you're living in a dictatorship you know the earlier we can hear the words you know like. quick to criticize others and even quicker to arrest its own dissidents the u.s. government sure doesn't practice what it preaches when it comes to the right to assemble we'll show you just how the first amendment is about to be muzzled. it's thursday march fifteenth five pm here in washington d.c. i'm liz wahl and you're watching our team. well it's not just occupiers and rage at wall street these days wall street's own are calling out the greed and corruption that plagues financial firms today an op ed written by a mid-level goldman sachs again is that executive is sure it's been making its rounds on wall street offices former empl

of supporters gathered at the university of maryland to rally behind their choice for president ron paul and as christine shows us this party had rock star written all over it. all round. was boring. and the stage set the rock star was a rock n roll concert has not gone paul ladies and gentlemen was he calls it a town hall meeting they call it a revolution i was our goal should be to enhance liberty that should be what we're all about. even hours before the event the line stretched around the building with students and other ron paul disciples who made the trek to see what seems to many an unlikely hero especially for such a youthful crowd although he is up there in age you could say i think he had the whole idea of people our age understand that we have nothing to look forward to the way we're going. and he's the only one that offers an actual solution an actual plan to try to change that ron paul the young followers say they all march to the beat of the same drum especially when they're trying to drown out the drums of war i've lost a lot of buddies you know along the way crossed over

about whether mitt romney lost by winning six states on super tuesday there's no disputing that ron paul had a bad night by winning zero so is that if the trucks as congressman well not quite stay tuned for a look at why. good evening it's wednesday march seventh pm here in washington d.c. from lucy catherine of and you're watching our t.v. well we begin today in syria where an end to the violence is seemingly nowhere in sight and the government of president bashar al assad seems on the able to regain control of the country the opposition groups are too weak and too fragmented to overthrow his regime and they made this bloody stalemate a debate right here in the united states about whether this country should intervene a lot of talk but still no consensus on the costs and benefits of entangling the united states in another armed conflict in testimony before the senate today the defense secretary leon panetta seemed to be cautious about intervention but also didn't rule it out. we are reviewing all possible additional steps that can be taken with our international partners to support the

no it won't actually arrived with since ron paul unlike the other candidates does stand for a set of ideas that people are passionate about and you saw this in two thousand and eight as well as long as ron paul still wants to be in there fighting and as long as ron paul is still asking his people to support him he'll be able to do that i do want to add however that santorum so bizarre rise and ability to keep winning states complicate that narrative entirely a lot of ron paul's hopes early in the season relied on the notion that being rich and santorum would be knocked out pretty quickly by romney and that didn't happen which is why things have not been as bright for politicians have been i think looking at what happened in virginia yesterday is an interesting sign of what this race might have been like if those two had disappeared ron paul actually got forty one percent of the vote in virginia the state nearest the beltway which again well it doesn't add up to a victory in the presidential race is a very encouraging sign for what paul and his ideas can and will mean for the republic

it wasn't the ron paul folks who were breaking the rules here it was the g.o.p. party a stablish ment's and happily the ron paul popes stood up for themselves it was good to see but then they get angry and then they turns out that they get the ammonites for for causing trouble. well they get demonized yes but again that's not their fault that might be the media's fault the corporate media's thought for reporting it that way but the nice thing is we have the video we can see exactly what happened we can see the leader of the ron paul folks brant stafford being arrested by state police out in the parking lot after they had shut down this caucus without holding their votes without doing anything you can see when he was arrested you can see that he was doing absolutely nothing when he was handcuffed and hauled away and if ron follow ron paul folks are furious about this frankly they have every right to be and i should also add by the way this is not an isolated incident what happened out there in st charles county missouri we also saw it in clay county missouri we al

and ron paul supporters are fighting back sick of their candidate always being treated as a second string player in this political contacts as a republican field narrows all broad poll ever at ten ten or respect you deserve. it's tuesday march twentieth five pm here in washington d.c. and was well you're watching arts. well an executive order signed by president obama has sparked controversy on both sides of the political aisle the national defense resources preparedness executive order was signed quietly friday night it gives the president the power to control u.s. resources and times of war and peace and this includes food water or oil and transportation now some are concerned this could lead to the executive branch having absolute authority over the nation's resources and others question if this is all a preparation to go to war with iraq here is white house press secretary jay carney is answer to that question at a press conference. with the it's. not exactly a reaction to it i think it was a fairly. standard in which. piece of business. so is this just business as usual or does it gi

republican primary coverage and media outlets certainly aren't the only ones pulling the plug on ron paul so why is the establishment so afraid of this star course and how low are they willing to go to kill his campaign and feel like we are living in the words near you government and it's awful because at least in places like the middle east you know they you know the are living in a dictatorship you know that you're living in its origin you know like. quick to criticize others and even quicker to arrest its own dissidents the u.s. government sure doesn't practice what it preaches when it comes to the right to assemble we'll show you just how the first amendment as a balance of the muslims. plus twenty two months in jail twenty two charges against him no trial date set and sparse media coverage in the case of private first class bradley manning is on lockdown these days as the alleged wiki leaks or heads to court today why is this case so shrouded in so much secrecy. it's thursday march fifteenth four pm here in washington d.c. i'm liz wall and you're watching our team. well it seems that

ron paul. >> who are you supporting and why? >> newt gingrich. i think he is very experienced. i think maybe the reason he is not a favorite in the republican party is because he a renegade. >> rick santorum because he is a social conservative. >> one more. >> he is genuine. he is for real. >> months of this conversation, in some cases years because we have two candidates that have run before. new hampshire, one of mitt romney's most important surrogates, what message do you have to for them why romney should be the nominee? >> we need to beat barack obama in november. >> do you agree with that? >> yes! >> mitt romney is the candidate that can beat barack obama, we need somebody who has been outside of washington and who actually has the private sector experience, that knows how jobs are created and the private sector is right now. we don't need a washington insider. we need someone that knows how to fix problems. he has done that both in the private sector. in the olympics and it's not easy to

it keeps ron paul alive. late in the evening, shep, long after the primaries of tonight are resolved, we will still be watching the caucus states. alaska, idaho, north dakota. those are places where ron paul could pick up delegates and be a significant force. could be a pretty late night for those. all in all, the bottom line is most accounts say that romney will get most of the delegates tonight. the question is whether or not it will solidify the perception that he has got the nomination at least on track to win it. or whether there might be some increased momentum for his two challengers, the anti-romney alternatives looking for that conservative vote which is pronounced, it's out there, and hasn't been persuaded by romney's candidacy yet. >> shepard: it certainly hasn't. carl, stay with us if you would. i want to bring in chris wallace on your local fox station. chris a couple of things, first of all the republicans, the establishment at least would very much like to have the republic candidates stop beat

ron paul the most. >> right. ron paul, as i'll repeat myself, continues to underperform his polling and never won. we've always heard this is a state where he's outorganized everybody and never happens. the interesting thing for mitt romney is because all these guys hang in the race, almost 60% of the voters in every contest choose somebody else. however, rick santorum had to stop mitt romney in washington or he has to stop hip in ohio or his surge is over with and he has no chance to be the alternative to mitt romney. we have talked a lot about how momentum in this race is easily reversed and redirected. the timing now is critical because while you had voters strongly resisting that romney is along this process for many years now, he's running for president for six years, early in the primary season, want to go make a statement and in south carolina, that was an historic statement that they refused to pick the nominee and they voted for newt gingrich who is not going to be the nominee. that was a huge moment. >>

we will continue to monitor ron paul's address.er in the evening we will hear from other candidates as well. let's take a look at close look at ohio right now with the polls closed in ohio a few moments ago. we have 1% of the vote in, in ohio and so far, very, very early, and mitt romney with a lead, and these are official votes. 39% to 37% for rick santorum, but look at how small the numbers are so far. 1,837 for prrm mitt romney and 1,767 for rick santorum. and he is only ahead by 70 votes right now, and so we will see what happens, but only less than 1% of the vote is in, and 16% for newt gingrich, and 7% for ron paul. we are taking a closer look at ohio. ohio is a key battleground and politically, it is a major bonanza for whoever wins ohio tonight. we saw the exit polls, john king, and the exit polls earlier suggesting a slight advantage for mitt romney in ohio and not long ago that the polls in ohio showed that santorum is ahead, but mitt romney has been spending, and the super pac, and his own campaign and ton of money spent

military officials whole warre a necessary evil for ron paul bags to differ on the aftermath of a tragedy at the hands of a rogue us soldier two questions looming over operations in afghanistan why are we still there and how we created more problems than we've helped to solve. and there's been some research than they did about two point two million votes were lost in two thousand and eight do voter registration problems. you know the saying every vote counts that might not be totally inaccurate in the u.s. we'll show you how ineffective the voting process really is. and speaking of election reformation several states think they may have a solution for voter fraud in the form of voter identification cards a well this really solve the problem or is it a way to stop democratic voters from getting the ballot box to be. it's tuesday march thirteenth five pm here in washington d.c. i'm liz wahl and you're watching r t well the u.s. has apologized for the shooting rampage in afghanistan that killed sixteen people many of them women and children and thirty eight year old staff sergeant is now und

ron paul. >> who are you supporting and why? >> newt gingrich. i think he is very experienced. i think maybe the reason he is not a favorite in the republican party is because he a renegade. >> rick santorum because he is a social conservative. >> one more. >> he is genuine. he is for real. >> months of this conversation, in some cases years because we have two candidates that have run before. new hampshire, one of mitt romney's most important surrogates, what message do you have to for them why romney should be the nominee? >> we need to beat barack obama in november. >> do you agree with that? >> yes! >> mitt romney is the candidate that can beat barack obama, we need somebody who has been outside of washington and who actually has the private sector experience, that knows how jobs are created and the private sector is right now. we don't need a washington insider. we need someone that knows how to fix problems. he has done that both in the private sector. in the olympics and it's not easy to

and ron paul.ou don't like romney he is a repository of all of your opposition. how far does ron paul go in a state like virginia? how far does ron paul go in caucus states? alaska, we are talking about, where he has demonstrated more organizational strength bat of the enthusiasm from young people and people engaged in the social networks online? >> bret: bottom line, nobody is getting out of this race after tonight you don't think? >> no, i don't. i think they will stay in and try to slog it out. i look to virginia to what you said to build on that point. if ron paul does really well, what does it say about turn-out for mitt romney? i think that is where the pundits will be digging in the numbers tonight to see what the turn-out levels are. >> bret: you are shaking your head. >> i think look, most people don't think ron paul has a chance pen except for his voter. romney is the only long-term viable candidate in race in virginia. only one. the incentive for his people to turn out in great forces mi

ron paul the most. >> right. ron paul, as i'll repeat myself, continues to underperform his polling and never won. we've always heard this is a state where he's outorganized everybody and never happens. the interesting thing for mitt romney is because all these guys hang in the race, almost 60% of the voters in every contest choose somebody else. however, rick santorum had to stop mitt romney in washington or he has to stop hip in ohio or his surge is over with and he has no chance to be the alternative to mitt romney. we have talked a lot about how momentum in this race is easily reversed and redirected. the timing now is critical because while you had voters strongly resisting that romney is along this process for many years now, he's running for president for six years, early in the primary season, want to go make a statement and in south carolina, that was an historic statement that they refused to pick the nominee and they voted for newt gingrich who is not going to be the nominee. that was a huge moment. >>

gingrich 42, ron paul scored 2 -- gingrich 72, ron paul 22. 6 of those came from alaska. >> the magicto secure the nomination. 1144. mitt romney is in the lead with 415, san tore raum 176 newt gingrich 105 and ron paul at 47. >>> now it's time for us to take a look at who's talking. gasoline prices, they are rising and american individuals want some answers. fox's own ed henry tried to get answers from president obama and said this is what he got. >> the critics will say on capitol hill you want gas prices to go higher you have said before that will wean the american people on to renewable fuels. how do you respond to that? >> from a political perspective do you think the president of the united states going into reelection wants gas prices to go higher? is there anybody here who thinks that makes a lot of sense? >> newt gingrich didn't miss a beat taking the opportunity to slam the president over this quote shallow response. >> i hope the analysts in washington and new york who spent june and july explaining our campaign was dead will watch this tonight and learn a little bit from th

by or they hate anti ron paul propaganda from media and and then i think ron paul himself has not. been as clever as he should have been and the coast he has allowed himself to be positioned as somebody who will threaten the social safety net you know social security medicare so many tens of millions of people now are dependent upon and so when you add all those three together you can see that are. in fact i had a fourth most important thing about ron paul in my opinion is that he defends the constitution he stands up for the constitution of course the last ten years constitution has been murdered bush and cheney and now by obama yeah and so in a sense they lose in the constitution which means that we're losing the country and that's really the most important is sure and that's the reason why people should be flocking to ron paul because that's more important than the economy or anything else if you lose a constitution which we've done now. you're finished and so this doesn't seem to be appreciated by the general public may seem to be completely in the dark about the roberts you be

heard but i try to find out what's really going on here i'm joined now by trace dennet co-founder of ron paul swag. so we just saw there things got pretty heated and missouri paul supporters they feel like they're not getting a fair shot do you think there is an effort to silence the. i do absolutely in two thousand and eight i was part of the g.o.p. establishment if you will in texas and prior to all the convention levels not so much the precinct would be at the county convention and the state convention there's a lot of chatter behind doors that establishment was afraid that ron paul supporters are going to try and take over the convention now is that narrative there or more to shore you know the establishment is always going to effort to keep themselves in control the question is what tactics are they going to employ to do that and i think in st charles it was it was pretty arrogant of the of the officials there to basically change the rules on the fly and to not follow robert's rules of order and basically just have their way with the ground and the way the way they wanted to and frankly

ron paul the most. >> right. ron paul, as i'll repeat myself, continues to underperform his polling and never won. we've always heard this is a state where he's outorganized everybody and never happens. the interesting thing for mitt romney is because all these guys hang in the race, almost 60% of the voters in every contest choose somebody else. however, rick santorum had to stop mitt romney in washington or he has to stop hip in ohio or his surge is over with and he has no chance to be the alternative to mitt romney. we have talked a lot about how momentum in this race is easily reversed and redirected. the timing now is critical because while you had voters strongly resisting that romney is along this process for many years now, he's running for president for six years, early in the primary season, want to go make a statement and in south carolina, that was an historic statement that they refused to pick the nominee and they voted for newt gingrich who is not going to be the nominee. that was a huge moment. >>

all military officials call it war a necessary evil ron paul begs to differ and the aftermath of a tragedy at the hands of a rogue u.s. soldier two questions loom over operations in afghanistan why are we still there and have we created more problems and we've helped to solve. there's been some research that and created about two point two million votes were lost in two thousand and eight due to voter registration problems. you know the saying every vote counts but that might not be totally accurate here in the u.s. well so you how ineffective the voting process really is and surveyed some solutions. and so a little bird told me just about everything there is to know about you that bird's name twitter so be careful what you tweet you never know this following your every move. it's tuesday march thirteenth seven pm here in washington d.c. i'm liz wahl and you're watching arts. well the u.s. has apologized for the shooting rampage in afghanistan that killed sixteen people many of them women and children and unnamed thirty year old staff sergeant is now in custody and in undisclosed location

that's what ron paul says.t's different than the others. >> who would like to ask senator ayat a question. >> i would like to see how we can bring the independent voters to romney. that's the challenge is romney is losing support from people like me. i am really an independent. >> he dropped 9 points among independents. much of it is because of the attack. not because of the republicans. a lot of it is barack obama. it is a fact he dropped among independents. how does he restore it? >> i think he has to bring this back to the big principles that are at play in this election. he is someone who firmly believes that this is a country that hard work will be rewarded. it is a country where opportunity is unlimited. bringing it to those principles and the decision that what we stand for and all of us stand for which is a smaller accountable government that will be fiscally responsible. i think bringing it back thouo prose prin those principles. you work ward you earn your success the land where personal responsibilit

but ron paul has one at least one state but ohio. gj joins us with the latest -- gary nurenberg joins us with the latest. good to see you again, gary. >> reporter: 86% of the vote in now. santorum and romney are locked in a very, very tight one. separated only by about 5,000 votes. 38-37% right now with romney taking the lead. it's been going back and forth all night. to summarize, romney wins in virginia, vermont and massachusetts. santorum in oklahoma, tennessee. we're watching ohio closely. back to you in a bit more. >> all right. thanks, gary. >>> i'm joined now on the interview set by bob urlick, the former governor of maryland. your guy not able to close the deal tonight. not able to pull away. maybe he gets ohio. but it's going to be 3-3 with him and santorum in the race tonight. >> not on the delegate. he wins big on the delegate count. and derek you know the bottom line here is ohio. a w is a w is a w is a w. we've seen that in american politics. whoever wins ohio, the white house is watching the race tonight. interesting re

but i believe that is partially why ron paul has just decided to. running as a republican because i think he is well aware of the fact that he probably would be included in a single poll if he was running as a third party candidate and not included in a lot of the polls running as a republican so i think realizes that a lot of people realize that running as a third in a third party is a political death wish of sorts because you're just not going to get the money and you're not going to get the backing of. the big money players you really need and i find it very interesting that ron paul actually is getting a lot of money god willing of course from the military but also from prominent investors like one of the founders of pay pal so i really think that a third party candidate running under a third party grafton's an independent or libertarian or so forth i think they realize that now we've been united with super pac and. almost unlimited money at the disposal of the obama campaign and the romney campaign. is really it would not be viable. it certainl

we have a lot of ron paul fans who watch the show and i think they might be. upset when they hear this first of all ron paul unlike so many other politicians out there actually happens to support whistleblowers and wiki leaks here's what he said or. not given immunity to the whistleblowers. so if we have a veteran citizen that is really going to. take the consequences and practice civil disobedience say this is what our the student should be locked up in prison or should really you know see out of political hero that he is a true patriot who reveals what's going on. all right so those are his personal convictions but if you look at his super pac he has his own sheldon adelson as they like to say peter thiel is basically the biggest donor donated two point six million dollars to ron paul super pac and he's also the guy that found palin here technologies which if you remember is security firm in the words of the f.b.i. the cia did your kind of spy stuff and we found out thanks to certain leaks and hacks that they were also working to take down organizations that

we couldn't agree more now ron paul has certainly seen his popularity and the popularity of his ideas grow and you draws huge crowds of supporters but take a look at the delegates that have been racked up by the candidates and you can see that he way way way way it pales in comparison and when it came to super tuesday it appears he had no first place win so what really explains this maybe maybe it's not the politicians or. maybe something else sucks or a. couple of shots on one idea and the mainstream media can't exactly how as an example look at m.s.m. these super tuesday show open and see if you notice anything. if you look at the republican party trying to fix presidential nominee so for the issue we're going to you tonight. missing there to talk about where our economy and country appear headed now let's bring in paul craig roberts he's the economist and former assistant secretary of the u.s. treasury under ronald reagan and he is here to tell us what he thinks as always it's a pleasure to see you dr roberts thanks for being on the show and everybody absolutely so. i talked to a l

ron paul with only 10%.or romney. 24% for gingrich. only 9% for ron paul. let's take a look at alaska though. within the past few seconds the caucuses were winding down in alaska. there's no votes officially counted yet in alaska. we're going to be updating you right now -- we'll be uprighting you on what's going on in alaska. 24 delegates at stake in alaska. you get a sense of what's happening, the winners and the losers. look at this. ten states, romney so far has won four. in virginia, vermont, massachusetts and idaho. those are all romney wins. rick santorum's having a pretty good night as well. he's got three major wins. tennessee, north dakota and oklahoma. newt gingrich won his home state of georgia. the largest delegate state of the night. 76. but we still have three states that are outstanding right now. ohio right now, alaska. we're waiting for two states i should say. idaho we projected a win for mitt romney as well. we're still waiting for ohio and for alaska. we have been following all of this w

ron paul with only 10%. tennessee, another important win for rick santorum tonight. 37% going for santorum, 28% for romney. 24% for gingrich. only 9% for ron paul. let's take a look at alaska though. within the past few seconds the caucuses were winding down in alaska. there's no votes officially counted yet in alaska. we're going to be updating you right now -- we'll be uprighting you on what's going on in alaska. 24 delegates at stake in alaska. you get a sense of what's happening, the winners and the losers. look at this. ten states, romney so far has won four. in virginia, vermont, massachusetts and idaho. those are all romney wins. rick santorum's having a pretty good night as well. he's got three major wins. tennessee, north dakota and oklahoma. newt gingrich won his home state of georgia. the largest delegate state of the night. 76. but we still have three states that are outstanding right now. ohio right now, alaska. we're waiting for two states i should say. idaho we projected a win for mitt romney

ron paul, ladies and gentlemen. >> republican presidential candidate ron paul orr arrived in college park to a warmer reception from supporters who were excited to hear him speak. >> this is the only candidate out there speaking to me rather than the other one's speaking for corporations. >> the congressman spoke to a packed coliseum on everything from personal liberties, cutting government spending, and shrinking the federal government. dr. paul received cheers particle to end the bourse. >> why should we have a third option? why should we say why do we not mind our own business? >> the line of supporters at the university of maryland strut down route one. there was a mixture of young and older voters. the ron paul campaign said the university as one of their biggest supporters. >> i think he is pretty liberal on its social issues. he is the only candidate talking about ending the war overseas. he is the only one who seems to have a clue about economic policy. >> because maryland is a democratic state, i feel like they are rallying around a liberal democratic candidate. >> ron paul
