Liberty Maven

Ron Paul was interviewed via phone on FOX Business News yesterday. He spoke about capitalism, monetary policy, oil prices, foreign policy, Iran, income taxes, and our costly interventions overseas. Yes, he fit a lot into 5 minutes.

This was a good appearance by Bob Barr on this morning’s FOX News Sunday with Chris Wallace. He reiterated saying he was wrong for voting for the Patriot Act, Iraq War Authorization, etc.. He also answers the recent criticism for not really holding any campaign or fund raising events thus far. The interview lasts about 9 minutes long.

Bob Barr will appear on FOX News Sunday with host Chris Wallace this Sunday, June 29th. The show airs on local FOX affiliates across the country and at 6pm on Sunday evening on the FOX News channel. To find out when it will be on in your area check the schedule here.

With this appearance and the already scheduled ABC “This Week With George Stephanopoulos” interview for July 6th I think it is now officially safe to say Bob Barr is getting more media exposure than any previous Libertarian Party candidate.

I wonder if he’ll be able to resist talking about himself in the third person in these interviews. He hasn’t been too successful in doing so thus far. Sometimes he sounds like Bob Dole did during his campaign in 1996. At least he’s speaking in the language of liberty instead of “neo-conish”.

Bob Barr appeared on FOX News today with Neil Cavuto. He discusses his relationship with Ron Paul and his recruitment of Ron Paul supporters to help his campaign. They then go on to discuss polling numbers and ballot access.

It’s interesting how much Cavuto was pushing the Ron Paul angle in this short interview while Barr seemed to be downplaying it a bit.

Ron Paul is in the process of planning a “rally” to coincide both in time and geography to the Republican National Convention in St. Paul. All of the major news outlets have picked up the story and are labeling it as a “McCain Alternative”. Here is the story from AP.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul is planning a daylong rally in Minnesota during the Republican National Convention that could draw attention from the presumed nominee John McCain.

The Texas congressman with a devoted following has tentatively reserved the Williams Arena at the University of Minnesota on Sept. 2, the second day of the GOP convention.

“We plan on having a large rally,” said Paul spokesman Jesse Benton. “We want it to be a celebration of Republican values and what the Republican Party has traditionally stood for.”

Benton also said Paul wants to send a message to the GOP “that we need to return to our roots” of limited government and personal responsibility.

Ron Paul appeared on Neil Cavuto’s FOX News Channel show today to discuss the event. See the video below.

Bob Barr preaches Ron Paul’s message of liberty to the masses today on FOX News. It is short and sweet, but is just another example of the ability for Barr to reach the masses carrying the message of liberty.

Bob Barr continues to spread the liberty message in the media in this interview with Neil Cavuto on FOX News today. They discuss his chances and point to the recent Rasmussen poll showing Barr at 6% before getting the Libertarian nomination.

Here is Ron Paul discussing the the Federal Reserve and responding to recent Ben Bernanke statements that run counter to Ron Paul’s economics. Ron Paul doesn’t mince words. I believe he mentions the word “fraud” at least 3 times.

Ron Paul talks to Neil Cavuto on FOX News about the Fed’s injection/bailout of lenders today.

In this interview Judge Napolitano (always a favorite of mine) promotes his book “A Nation Of Sheep” and in the end endorses Ron Paul without actually saying he endorses Ron Paul. It is a great interview and worth your time. It is in 3 parts.
