Charlie, you serve up so many nice slow pitches that anyone can hit over the fence. I agree with Pleasurepays (gasp!), you must be incredibly young because what seems all shiny and new to you is the same old bullshit recycled to the rest of us (heck, I don't have to go back to the days of the Who, and "the parting on the left, is now a parting on the right" mentality of politics. Won't get fooled again...)

we cant afford to police the world anymore. Let the Chinese do it because it is expensive work.

Gotta start here, because this is the funniest comment of the bunch. The US isn't policing the world, the US is trying to jam democracy down people's throats. The Chinese ain't going to ram democracy down anyone's throats, and guess what? Communism is actually pretty cheap to impliment (a few guns, a few killings, a large and paranoid police force, citizens reporting on each other). Democracy is expensive. Dictatorships are remarkably cheap.

Clinton was extremely lucky to be in office when he was. He inherited a rebounding economy, IT revolution, bull market, and the fruits of the regan era.

hahahahhahhahahahahaaha plop! (my head just fell off I was laughing so hard). Don't get me started on voodoo economics or republican trickle down bullshit (because it is bullshit, a total excuse for the richest few to pay less taxes, isn't that what Ron Paul is against?). Clinton took power, and did something that no Republican President in 40 years has done: HE DIDN'T FUCK IT UP. He went and got a blowjob from an Intern just like every other wallstreet guy was doing, and left the money making to the money makers. He didn't fuck with it, and it worked for his entire term without exception.
Bush came in, and within 12 months, the country was in the toilet and has never truly come back.

Again, check his record. He is not part of the problem. He may not be the best solution, but in this dog and pony show he wins the blue ribbon.

As an elected official Ron Paul has been in the position to create legislation, express opinions, raise public awareness, and change the way things are done. Until he submitted his candidacy for President, he was the member from... well, I don't even know, that is how fucking low this guy is on the radar. He hasn't distingushed himself, he hasn't been widely quoted in the news, he doesn't regularly make the evening news, he hasn't stood up and said "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore". He was background noise.
In a few months, he will be a footnote in presidential electrion history, the guy who dropped out second or third from a totally horrible set of republican candidates.
