Since the start of this election cycle we've all heard numerous times such things as "Ron Paul is our only hope," or that "He's our last chance," but has any of his supporters actually stopped and considered how he would actually accomplish his goals? As his supporters have pointed out time and again he is different from all the other politicians. And if you believe in the insidious, ambiguous PTB he's pretty much the only politician that is not part of Them. So considering the fact that he hasn't really accomplished any of his goals in Congress where he actually has the power to propose laws how exactly is he supposed to accomplish anything in a position where he doesn't have that authority and the entirety of Congress against him? There is simply no way it could be anything other than the least productive presidency in history. I mean maybe I'm missing something here and if so I would love for some to point it out to me.

As an afterword, I'm not trolling here. I'm actually interested in learning how he could accomplish anything. While I may come off as anti-Paul in threads he's actually the candidate I most like. I just don't support him enough to actually vote for him. One of the big reasons I can't vote for him is because it would be impossible for him to accomplish anything. It seems to me that if the Ron Paul Revolution actually wants to change anything they need to start by winning local elections and eventually getting some of their own into Congress. At that point maybe a President with similar ideas could actually be effective.

I see where your coming from, but in no way in hell am I going to support the stuff the current government is doing. Romney=Obama, any day ill take my chances with Paul.

Maybe you should be conncerned whether or not he can save your country because the world would prefer you leave them the hell alone.

I don't know think he can do any of that. He has made some of the biggest promises in, like, forever. A lot of them seemingly outright impossible. Its like people think he can just "reorganize" the entire structure of the government and military unchallenged.

I think that's an assumption that he wouldn't be part of them too.
Because the way I see it, if TPTB are as powerful as I think they are, then Ron Paul is probably a part of it. He serves a good role. A hope for conspiracy theorists, as well as a distraction.

I agree with the rest of your post. The president really doesn't have that much power, well at least he shouldn't. Bush and Obama sort of broke the mold in that respect.

I don't think he would change much. But I'd think he would focus on exposing the Fed scam and other corruption.

Ron Paul 2012 Rand Paul 2016 Rand Paul 2020

The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and we walk with him.

Ron Paul will save nobody. There will be no elections.
The apocalypse will start beforehand.
Nuclear terrorism, bigger war with Iran, even bigger one with either Russia and /or China.
Or Asteroid from heaven.
Does it matter?
We are 2012 guys!!! The clock is ticking!
