Ron Paul: End Game - The Elle Magazine InterviewI didn't know they did politics. Definitely slow-pitch softball, but some good stuff. Here are some excepts; [ELLE] You’re running as a Republican for President Dr. Paul, but aren’t your positions and proposals really sort of out of the mainstream of the Republican Party? [RP] I don't need the party to impress, man. It's a flash of a smile, the correct ideology and a nice conversation. And at the end of the day, they’re cooking the food. [RP] Well, you know these guys want to win, and you want to win, and people need time to digest and understand my message. So I don’t just throw it all out there, open myself up to everything. I give it out a little bit at a time, in speeches, the website, and newsletters. I have to stay very closed off until a voter deserves to know me completely.
[ELLE] What's the one thing you have to tell the voters about yourself to persuade them to choose you? [RP] Hello. [ELLE] That would convince them? [RP] Absolutely. You start making eyes across the room at them. Right then it's not a primary election situation. It's a predator-prey situation. [ELLE] Ok, let’s talk economics. You’ve spoken about a “currency regime” that is inherently inflationary. What do you mean by that and what do you propose should be done? [RP] Hey, I’m an alpha heterosexual candidate who only puts up with 1 to 2 percent. When our currency starts gaining a few pounds, I'm not tolerant of that at all. And when an economy isn't feeling good about itself and you combine that with a fiat currency, eventually it will ask you if you like how it looks. You have to say no. [ELLE] But aren’t investors just asking you to say 'You look good to me, economy'? [RP] If they do, it's placating. I don't placate. [ELLE] How is that message received do you think? [RP] Well, the worst thing an economist ever said to me was "You're a [expletive that rhymes with 'brass pole']. And you're in with those Bildesburgerers.. people." The time it really hurt was when a stranger said it. I was just trying to tell this hedge fund manager to get lost. I try to treat all investment executives with respect whether they're pretty or ugly. I want to be nice and be like, “Wow, thanks for the attention. But get out of my face.” [ELLE] Let’s move to Foreign Policy. You have spoken of the danger of “entangling alliances”, and the necessity to re-evaluate our position globally. What do you think the United States should expect from its allies, and how should we respond? [RP] Hey, man, we're not here to hold hands and babysit. 80 percent is a lot, you know? Other countries have got to come to the table with something. [ELLE] I want to touch on something that’s a bit controversial with respect to your campaign and supporters. You’ve been accused of accepting campaign donations from some rather questionable sources, organizations that promote some rather distasteful ideas, racially I mean. How do you respond to that criticism? [RP] Are you talking about my breakup with Stormfront? Look, I don’t know what to say, we had an absolute ball, but we grew up. [ELLE] Are you still close? [RP] Are we friends? Yes. Do we talk? No. Am I giving back the money? No. [ELLE] Is there a common misconception that you feel you need to correct when you're with a campaign contributor? [RP] If there is and they don't get it right away, they're gone. [ELLE] What’s the hardest part of managing the campaign cash flow, and the myriad number of supporters and contributors? [RP] Trying to control the situation. You have to give them enough credit to let them take the reins once in a while. But if it's a 2K spark-off, f--k it. Have a blast and fizzle out. It can be just as fun. [ELLE] What’s the best thing about Washington? [RP] There you can be as dirty or as clean as you want to be. The ratio there is three lobbyists to one representative. It's an expensive town, full of lobbyists. I like it when they call me Daddy. And they do, too, because they’re all hungry. [ELLE] As other candidates invariably drop out of the race, will you keep up with them? [RP] No way, I've got a patient on the table to save. | Recent Comments
