from raw story: Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX), a 2008 presidential hopeful, has a "dream."The longshot contender, who ran for president in 1988 under the Libertarian Party banner and has vocally protested the war in Iraq, believes that a Paul presidency would "reinstate the Constitution and restore the Republic."
"The competition isn't all that great to claim that title here in Washington," Paul said on Fox News Channel regarding his claim to be "the leading advocate for freedom in Washington today." ...
"I wanna be President because I have this dream, I'd like to reinstate the Constitution and restore the Republic," said Paul. "And I think the Republican party and all of Washington have lost their way."
Hemmer asked Paul why "sub" or "minor" candidates bothered running if they don't have a chance to win and have problems getting their message out, partially due to their problems at attracting wider media coverage.
"Well, there's something different today," Paul said, "and that's the Internet."
Paul said the Internet was where he was doing "quite well," although he believes that it's not fair that smaller candidates don't get the major network coverage that they're "entitled" to.
"You hear only one message," Paul complained, "and the message seems to be the same whether it's Republican or Democrat."
Hemmer sympathized with Paul's difficulties in receiving media exposure, and then ended the segment, which ran for less than three minutes in total.

Good luck Ron Paul you're the kind of man we need running this country. Its really sad there aren't more politicians with a backbone. I also hope you get the media attention you deserve and have earned with your public service.
