Ron Paul has either sponsored or co-sponsored 303 pieces of legislation since April of 1976.
http://thomas.loc.gov/home/LegislativeData.php
Do your own homework, you learn more about the world and about yourself that way.
Thats 303 during the 112th congress. 4 passed. 2 of those were renaming libraries.
Impressive.
You get a C+ on your homework.
Damn it - you are right. I thought putting the time frame would override the specific congress. Holy Bat Shite, 303 pieces of legislation sponsored or co-sponsored during just the 112th congress...
Speaking of the 112th congress, did you know last year only 80 pieces of legislation were passed. That's the lowest yearly total since the mid 20's or some such shite. So of the 80 pieces, 4 of them were Ron Paul's idea. One man alone was responsibly for ~7% of all legislation that was passed last year, and that man is Ron Paul!!!
Live it,
Love it,
America!
Ron Paul 2012!

Voting on something is not an accomplishment. Unless you mean that him actually showing up to cast a vote is an accomplishment for him. 
While true, it is the best indicator of what a person actually stands for. While nothing gets accomplished in DC on most days (and that may be a blessing) votes do tell us a politicos direction.
Especially a lifelong entrenched politico like Ron Paul.
I'm not sure voting is a strong indicator unless you know why the vote was cast. How often is it that legislation is only about one thing by the time it becomes law? How many bills are passed in order to pass the ridiculous riders attached to them? How many bills are not passed to prevent the same thing? I don't buy voting records alone as meaningful.

Ron Paul is a career politician and Washington Insider whose biggest accomplishment is his integrity.
For someone who has been a legislator for 35 years, his resume should be a lot thicker. Actually delivering on his policy proposals, for example.

Some amusing stuff.
HR 958
Quote:
We the People Act - Prohibits the Supreme Court and each federal court from adjudicating any claim or relying on judicial decisions involving: (1) state or local laws, regulations, or policies concerning the free exercise or establishment of religion; (2) the right of privacy, including issues of sexual practices, orientation, or reproduction; or (3) the right to marry without regard to sex or sexual orientation where based upon equal protection of the laws.
Allows the Supreme Court and the federal courts to determine the constitutionality of federal statutes, administrative rules, or procedures in considering cases arising under the Constitution. Prohibits the Supreme Court and the federal courts from issuing any ruling that appropriates or expends money, imposes taxes, or otherwise interferes with the legislative functions or administrative discretion of the states.
Authorizes any party or intervener in matters before any federal court, including the Supreme Court, to challenge the jurisdiction of the court under this Act.
Provides that the violation of this Act by any justice or judge is an impeachable offense and a material breach of good behavior subject to removal.
Negates as binding precedent on the state courts any federal court decision that relates to an issue removed from federal jurisdiction by this Act or otherwise interfering with the legislative functions or administrative discretion of the states.
HR 1096
Quote:
Sanctity of Life Act of 2011 - Deems human life to exist from conception, without regard to race, sex, age, health, defect, or condition of dependency and requires that the term "person" include all such human life. Recognizes that each state has authority to protect the lives of unborn children residing in the jurisdiction of that state.
Amends the federal judicial code to remove Supreme Court and district court jurisdiction to review cases arising out of any statute, ordinance, rule, regulation, or practice, or any act interpreting such a measure, on the grounds that such measure: (1) protects the rights of human persons between conception and birth; or (2) prohibits, limits, or regulates the performance of abortions or the provision of public funds, facilities, personnel, or other assistance for abortions.
Makes this Act and the amendments made by this Act applicable to any case pending on, or commenced on or after, the date of enactment.
HR Res 50
Quote:
Repeals the Sixteenth Amendment to the Constitution three years after ratification of this amendment and thereafter prohibits Congress from levying taxes on personal incomes, estates, and gifts.
HR1099
Quote:
Taxpayers' Freedom of Conscience Act of 2011 - Prohibits a federal official from expending federal funds for any foreign or domestic population control or population planning program or family planning activity (including any abortion procedure).
I like the combination in the first two. The first one declares the Feds absolutely cannot interfere if a state decides to become a Christian state or to ban gay marriage or to forbid any sexual practice the state considers icky. The second one mandates that the Feds not allow states to decide for themselves when human life begins.
In other words, a typical right winger who wants to legislate against anything he personally doesn't approve of.

I wouldn't call racism honest. And i don't think he's been terribly consistent about his racism. But racism is always more opportunistic than anything.
You know you might have had a claim to fixing the country until you latched onto Ron Paul as your savior.
Where did he accomplish is racism in the legislative branch?

He is a demogogue. Every vote he does is a pander to extremists with very little chance of doing anything significant. If a person like him did get power it would be like germany in the 30s and 40s

You're right. Unlike other politicians Ron Paul doesn't have a long a distinguished list of passed legislature that is speeding the decay of this nation. Guess we will have to vote for Mitt Romney instead.

At any given point most legislators are dead weight. Especially in the house. There are circles of power and if you are not one of the in crown you might as well just stick to your guns while trying to build support with other people that are like you.
There is a lot of politics that happen in the legislature that have a massive impact on the voting in committees (very important) as well as the floor. This is a major reason I don't like the two party system.

Goddamn.... How you get from giving the states MORE FREEDOM to LEGISLATING ANYTHING HE PERSONALLY DOESN'T APPROVE OF is a leap of stupid that I didn't even think you could make.
