OMG....give it a rest....Ron Paul never ever had a chance in hell of winning anything..hell he doesn`t even win at Bingo!!
Whether or not he ever had a chance of winning, he would still have been the best thing for the country.
There would have been more than enough opposition (and he's not stupid enough to try) to prevent some of his wackier ideas from being implemented, and he would have provided an excellent block to keep congress from doing the stupid shit they're bent on doing.
Most importantly, though, he would have kept us the fuck out of any other fucking wars and would have exited the Middle East already.
Sadly, though, the military has turned into a gigantic jobs program and it'll never get scaled back. Do we really need military bases in 100+ other countries?
