@dyna mo His record isn't all that abysmal at all in relation to every other member of congress. In fact, of the three congressmen running for President, he has the highest voting record...
I also fail to see your automatic negative connotation of career politician. That's just a logical fallacy. While many career politicians stay in office by flip flopping on issues and don't really propose anything to congress, etc... That simply isn't the case with Ron Paul and his track record proves it.
In every other industry being a career XXXX is a good thing. If anything, he knows the game better than anyone else with less experience and as long as he doesn't start changing his mind on issues and sticks to his guns I see absolutely no problem with being a career politician in this case.

like earmarks?
Quote:
U.S. Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) was one of only four House Republicans to break rank from the party and request earmarks despite a Republican Conference earmark moratorium. Paul sent 41 earmark requests totaling $157,093,544 for the 2010 Fiscal Year.
While Paul requested these earmarks, he can still claim to have voted against the spending. Here’s how he defended his earmarking habit when he was challenged during a Fox News interview in 2009:
I think you’re missing the whole point. I have never voted for an earmark.
