If ron paul gets elected and accomplishes nothing but bringing troops home, and vetoing all the stupid crap that is going through congress these days (like sopa) in the name of protecting constitutional rights, his election would be well worth 4 years of nothing happening



You say that, but you'll be the first howling for blood if the economy tanks again.



I wouldn't be. We need a good tank.

And a huge portion of the government is Executive Branch stuff. Congress funds it, but he controls it. So he could just fire everyone in those departments and return the money unspent.

See, I could imagine this happening, and then imagine congress immediately impeaching Paul, because the last thing congress wants is to be gelded by the president. There are simply too many lobbyist dollars behind too many congressmen to let the president actually have the reins. This makes me wonder what, if any role the population has in the impeachment process as opposed to congress?

i see a couple of dumb excuses for people not voting for him in this thread.....not one stands the test of logic



Which one specifically?


Would it be the one where NONE of his positions would ever become policy?

Libertarianism is a "wonderful dream"....if you are a prosperous, white, christian, guy.

It's always attractive to endorse ideas that would result in your own advantage and fuck everyone who wasn't smart enough to be born a middle class white man who attends church. Those other stupid bastards would all be better off too ya know, because fairness and equality are all people like me care about.

Libertarianism treats people as individuals not as part of a group. You need to go to college osemtnhe.

Been there, done that. Of course, I went to a school that had "gasp" black professors.....so I probably didn't learn much except how to milk the system for food stamps....according to idiots that are stupid enough to vote for any republican.

If RP ever made it to become president, they'd have a parade for him in Dallas.

Bullshite.

PS: The fact you included 'Christian' in the same sentence as 'Libertarian' exposes your troll too early. You could have milked it much better without that... otherwise it just looks slapstick.

That's why all your posts are about putting people on groups with fancy labels. Austrians, Keynesians, Libertarians...
