Many see Ron Paul as their shibboleth to obtaining change in government.

9/11 truthers, using government to stop corruption, the people who think executive orders are bunk, et la. If these people's believes are correct, Dr. Paul is a dead man walking - right?

Many have said that if you seek the job a president there is something wrong with you and you should not have the job...so under that definition Dr. Paul should not be President.

Lets say Dr. Paul became the Prez. The underlings across the government will still be (mostly) the same, The Congress won't change, et la.

If Dr. No still was Dr. No - almost every bill by the Congress should therefore be vetoed, thus needing Congress to override. One could only hope that working together to get bills passed, Congress would do a better job.

As another poster pointed out Dr Paul record on energy isn't all that good, but it is consistent with his view about what powers The Constitution grants or how a free market. if it existed, would work.

Dr. Paul has to make it though many months to get on the ballot in November. So don't spend alot of time hoping - spend your time in the next 50 days getting him past the Ames staw pole and making him #1 in the early primary states.

A very impressive slap-in-the-face 2 minute Ron Paul election ad:

No More Manipulation

Also impressive, and also at YouTube, a three-part series of Ron Paul being interviewed on the Korelin Economics Report. When he starts explaining there are still today members of the Banking Committee who think the dollar is backed by gold, everyone's speechless for a moment.
