Ron Paul Bashes John Boehner, Calls For Cuts To Military Industrial Complex, Drops Hint On 2012 Run (VIDEO)

Outstanding new clip.  Quotes transcribed inside.

When asked by David Asman about the possibility of running for President in 2012, Congressman Paul replied:

• "Not ready to do that…in time it’ll come about, you know the issue I’ve been very interested in.  I think that issue is building…the dollar is under attack…and I’m going to want to speak out on it because I feel strongly on what we ought to do."

On Boehner's leadership:

• “The test is not in the election.  It’s in how we handle ourselves.  I don’t hear enough precise things we would cut.  I never hear that the military-industrial complex should be addressed, I never hear that discretionary and non-discretionary funding is all the same thing.”

Paul says he’d like to see those statements coming from Tea Party groups, but hasn’t — yet.

• “I’d like to see a consensus that challenges the establishment.  I want them to challenge foreign policy.  I want them to challenge the war on drugs.  I want them to challenge non-discretionary spending.”

Paul isn’t the only potential 2012 presidential candidate encouraging the Tea Party to embrace more libertarian principles. Former Republican New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson, who is widely expected to declare a presidential run, spoke at the 9/12 rally in Washington, D.C., earlier this month.

• “Half of what we spend on law enforcement, the courts and the prisons is drug related. We’re arresting 1.8 million people a year in this country on drug-related crime,” Johnson told the crowd. “I suggest that legalizing marijuana will make this country a better place.”

In a February interview with TheDC, Johnson echoed Paul’s frustrations with non-discretionary spending. Republicans “rail against Obama’s health care plan while accusing the Democrats of wanting to cut Medicare,” he said.  “You can’t mask the fact that we are bankrupt.  Expenditures have to be cut. As unpopular as this idea might be, the people of this country have never been more aware of spending and the unsustainable level of debt we’re accumulating.”
