Third-Party Option

" Libertarians and Republicans joined forces this year of the tea party's town -- and 912 rallies. To protest big government interfering in our lives. But the parties differ on so many key issues can the alliance remain. Or is now the time for a third party to emerge joining us now is Texas congressman Ron Paul and his son Rand Paul. Randy is running for senate. And Kentucky's next year ran first to you. If you you are and unabashed. Right down the line libertarian. Yet you are running in the Republican primary for the United States senate. And leading one might say in the latest poll why the."

" party. Well we're doing quite well but I like to call myself a constitutional conservative. And I think that resonates in the Republican primary and I think what we're finding is as we get our message out is that the messages actually popular. I think there's a disconnect between the Republican primary voter who does believe like myself in limited constitutional government. In our leaders who have sometimes let us down it's like the bank bailout -- I've yet to meet a Republican primary voter who would have voted for it. And yet. Our leaders did vote for saying there's a disconnect between leadership and the primary voter but I think the primary voter and the platform in the Republican Party. Are very conservative and I think as we get our message out. And is were rising in the polls they show is that the message is popular and Republican primary."

" Congressman -- we just witnessed a third party candidate running for congress in upstate New York. He was a conservative he had a lot of strong libertarian leanings the Republican was a moderate she withdrew from the race. And endorsed the Democrat who won. Yet this conservative slash libertarian. Got 45%. Of the vote question. Will this long there's -- picture Doug Hoffman. Question will this spawned more. And similar efforts by third party as your son calls -- constitutional. Muster Republicans. Around the country."

" Why I think he will be a lot more about I think it really make grants point. That the leadership is at fault for law that it was a leadership that. Handpicked. Their candidate that finally drop operation became a Democrat that make a very strong point. So hopefully they'll get their act together and get the strong candidates to believe the Lebanese government. And believe that what they say ought to be followed through with policy that's where the real problem is I I just don't see. In the near future a third party taking over not because it's not wouldn't be advantageous. But mainly because the laws are so biased and they credibility in the media we -- It -- just doesn't happen. So the two major parties which very often aren't a whole lot different. Make it very difficult to compete. You can't get in the debates he can't participate so I think the battle will be fought. In the big guy and then the two parties and that means if -- for limited government you have to pick and choose and decide. Which candidate you're gonna support."

" Reenter your dad is one of the few people in all of government today who when he says he's very limited government. Truly means it. Are you running for the Republican nomination for the Senate in Kentucky. On a similar platform that your goal is to shrink the federal government backed down to the confines that the constitution."

" Put around. Absolutely I think if we operated under the enumerated powers of the constitution. We have a balanced budget. I think we need reform I don't think the politicians are trust -- and I think there has to be a rule requiring them to balance the budget. Because I don't think they'll ever do it on their in Kentucky we have to balance the budget by statute. I think we need the same kind of rules in Washington which we."

" We can't even get rules of Washington the requirements of the congress to read. The law was four point part of the constitution authorizes laws congressman Paul. I'm very disturbed Lindsey Graham but it turns out he's been attacking you for a long time of last week he said the following. Quote. I'm going to grow this party. I'm not going to let it be hijacked by Ron Paul. What is he afraid of small government maximum individual liberty lower taxes."

" Well I don't know but he thinks he can give me a lot of credibility as it might have control over growing or shrinking in the Republican Party. That may be -- he -- to give me more credibility and a half. But certainly when I I think -- He probably wants to grow Republican Party I do to land and everybody gets -- humans in the Republican Party would like to be in the majority the big issue is what you believe in. You know do you believe in more government. But if you start off with saying well. Will do this by being -- half of the Democrat but we don't wanna be -- Democrat what will be a half of the Democrat give up half what the Republicans believe it. I don't buy into that night I can't work under those conditions in the country's been working and other conditions for a hundred years they -- we sacrifice a portion of their liberties. Thinking -- the compromise that you did it really doesn't work it's a sacrifice. A so much liberty you end up with a map you end up with bankruptcy and you end up with a bureaucracy you can't control. And you end up with a financial crisis so I would say that type of compromise. Isn't worthwhile."

" Congressman Ron Paul doctor Rand Paul thanks for joining us. Two big democratic losses in Tuesday's elections. But who the biggest losers. Next."
