So Paul was never able to build a consensus among fellow members to ever get legislation passed. Therefore, he would not be an effective president because he would not be able to work with congress on running the nation.

To which I reply, it doesn’t take much consensus building to wield the VETO pen. My interest in Paul as president has nothing to do with him passing new laws. I want him to veto as much crap coming out of congress as possible.

Wallace, Bob Beckel, and a few more simply do not want to acknowledge Ron Paul’s ideas and philosophy. If his points were recognized, then these “heads” would no longer be able to say that GOVERNMENT PROTECTS THE RIGHTS OF INDIVIDUALS. They would have to say THAT INDIVIDUALS ARE BORN WITH RIGHTS INDEPENDENT OF GOVERNMENT OR ANY OTHER ENTITY.

In ATLAS SHRUGGED, there is a line something to the effect that there is no way to rule honest men. Ron Paul is that honest man trying to explain that to these “heads” who will neither argue for his position nor against his position for either would acknowledge Paul’s position. And that is what they fear.

As for “accomplishment” – how many people remember Konrad Adenauer vs. remember Adolph Hilter (or Yeltsin vs. Stalin). Poor Ron Paul did not sponsor immigration bills like Kennedy or Leave No Child Behind or “health care” or OSHA or EPA or War on Drugs or Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and Homeland Security/TSA or other “accomplishments” to bankrupt us and take away our freedoms and property.

I guess AIDS is caused by Right Wing Homophobes and not sexual transmission! Right now, Rick Santorum is sneaking into Gay Bathhouses with vials of the virus!

Whatever Ron Paul’s flaws, one has to stand with an advocate of human rights against these statist media & statist politicians.
