He seems to have all the answers. Tell me how he's turning them into reality. Show me those things and I'll be a Congressman Ron Paul fan just like you.

Ron Paul is a lot like someone who has a great idea for business and wants to sell just the idea for millions. Having an idea and actually turning that idea into a reality are two very different things. This country needs someone who can turn ideas into reality. We all know what the problems are, we need to know how to fix them within the context of our current system. He seems to be a little light in that department.

That's all I'm saying. The average Joe on the street pretty much knows what the problems are in this country. Just because Ron Paul says those same things in public doesn't change or fix anything. Sure, his fans all yell "Ron Paul gets it" but then he doesn't do anything.

Like I said, I like what the guy says at times, but he never does anything and I doubt he ever will other than make waves every now and then so he can keep his congressional seat.
