We get all these Ron Paul threads, pro and con - where are the threads about the other candidates?
Go make one....no one is stopping you.
I decided to cover this topic on this candidate because I thought it was important information that not a lot of people knew about. It turns out I was right.
But you are free to do the same with other candidates...don't expect me to do it for you.
Again, the argument has evolved beyond this petty platform - you should read the entire thread before posting.
Fact. Compared to a global consensus of opinion, you are wrong in your assessment of success.

The topic of this thread is Ron Paul and his accomplishments as a legislator.
It isn't about Obama...it isn't about what or who I support personally...I'm sure you have heard it said before "discuss the TOPIC, not the member".
And yes...this post is off topic...but since it appears you are so clueless as to what the topic of this thread is...I thought I should remind you.
If you want to discuss any thing else besides the topic...you are free to create your own thread.

Proof of his homophobia.
He spends a lot of time sponsoring bills that are racist and homophobic for someone who claims to be neither.
This stuff is undefendable.

This is just your opinion. I believe it is a perfectly reasonable and sound explanation. If Congress INSISTS on spending this money, then individual representatives have the right to point the money where they believe it should go.

Great find Outkast
This is a demonstration as to just how backwards Paul is, and how his policies are even extreme for the GOP constituency. Out of all his years in congress, 100's of bills introduced, and he only manages to get one sucessfully passed? To the Paul supporters insisting that his inability to get consensus on anything is a sign of his consistency, how do you expect him to get any of his policies during his term as president without working and leading people? Seriously?
I think there's plenty more about Paul we'll be hearing about over the course of the primaries.

Denies jurisdiction to the Supreme Court of the United States to review any State statute or regulation which relates to abortion. Extends such denial of jurisdiction to Federal district courts.
Committee Assignments Committees are like "mini Congresses". Most bills begin by being considered by one or several congressional committees which may "report" the bill favorably or unfavorably to the Senate or House as a whole allowing it to receive consideration by the full body and move forward, or may fail to consider a bill at all preventing the bill from moving forward. Most bills never receive any committee consideration and are never reported out. House bills start in House committees and enter Senate committees only after being passed by the House and received by the Senate, and similarly for Senate bills. Information on committee proceedings is notoriously opaque: committees vary in what information they make public and often do not provide basic public information such as the results of votes electronically or in an understandable format. Furthermore, if your Member of Congress does not sit on any committee relevant to this bill, you generally have no opportunity to voice your opinion on the bill while the bill is receiving its most important consideration.

Sometimes the text of one bill or resolution is incorporated into another, and in those cases the original bill or resolution, as it would appear here, would seem to be abandoned.
