Ron Paul has accomished NOTHING in his entire career. Thats right nothing, zip, 0

Granted, he hasn't achieved much on the legislative or policy front. But being a Congressman is about more than that. It's about constituent services and bringing home the bacon. And on that front, he's been okay--he's gone after around $119 million in federal money for the Texas 14th in the last three years.

 

[The Rabbi]

A partial audit of the Federal Reserve is something of note, in my opinion.

When did he accomplish that?
Actually he voted against the very bill that would have done this. Which side is he on, exactly?

Paul, objecting to some of the provisions of the combined bill, voted against passage despite the inclusion of the audit provisions he had been proposing for years.[20]

Without Ron Paul pushing H.R. 1207, the full Fed audit, the partial audit never would have been included in the bill. We both know that.

As for voting against the bill, it was a horrible bill aside from the Fed audit. He voted on principle, so I understand your confusion.

His principle seems to be "my way or the highway." This is why he has zero accomplishments in 30 years. And since the bill failed, he has never successfully introduced a major bill that passed. What kind of recommendation is that for anyone in any organization?

Ron Paul is the Dennis Kuchenich or Bernie Sanders of the GOP.

Ron Paul has gone along with tax breaks to the rich and deregulations that caused the economic collapse. And anti abortion and a lot of other things that indpendents need to know before they decide they like him just because they like 4 things he says.

a. Legalize drugs and prostitution
b. Audit the Federal Reserve
c. Smaller government and less taxes
d. Close military bases around the world and protect ourselves at home

And what are the "accomplishments" or his colleagues? All government has done is grow leaps and bounds in the 30 years Paul has been in office.

What fucking accomplishments can the party claim?

So? Like I said, the Fed audit only happened because of Ron Paul. That's an accomplishment. Your dislike of Ron Paul doesn't change that fact.

I love this guy. The GOP presided over some of the biggest growth of government in HISTORY, while Paul tried everything he could to legislate against it, and in the end the GOP showed their true colors.

But somehow it's Paul who's the loser. Unbelievable.

 

[Paulie]

It's all just Paul's fault for not being able to get his colleagues to see the error of their ways. If only he was more convincing I'm SURE he could have gotten the GOP to actually be conservatives.

What did we find after we audited the Fed? Lucky charms? Did you see any gold?

Funny Ron Paul wants every other monopoly to be free to do whatever they want except the bankers.

The existence of monopolies would be scarce absent strangling regulations that place barriers to businesses entering market sectors. Paul would do away with most of these regulations that stifle competition between the big corps and the smaller emerging companies, and competition in the marketplace would naturally quell the possibility of monopolies.

 

[Paulie]

Until you recognize how much regulatory policy plays in the creation and perpetuation of monopolies, you'll never be able to understand Paul's positions.

 

[Paulie]

Sealy, take a company like Monsanto for instance...probably the biggest corporation on earth when it comes to the Farm industry. They own everything. You can't even buy a pack of home veggie garden seeds without lining their pockets.

They have a de facto monopoly because of the stifling regulations in the food industry. It's almost impossible for the smaller farmer starting out to be able to get the "organic" label placed on his produce. The hoops you have to jump through to satisfy the FDA are just ridiculous. But Monsanto has so much money and influence that they can get products that aren't even 100% organic to be able to put the organic label on their foods, and sell them at higher prices in the marketplace.

They WRITE the regulatory legislation to be in their benefit so that their emerging competition doesn't become a problem for them.

 

[Paulie]

It's pretty much the same thing with the pharmaceutical industry. Good luck trying to get a medical device cleared by the FDA for over the counter sale. You'll be bled dry of cash before you ever get the classification.

That would be the law that Paul voted against, right?
And what came of it? Inotice the law was actually pushed by Bernie Sanders, the only socialist in Congress. Telling me even more that narco-libertarianism owes more to socialism than it does to classic liberalism.
