Of course business is all about being an opportunist! You discover a demand, and you rush to satisfy it. That's what business is all about. Obviously Romney is very good at that. And I hope he keeps doing what he's good at. America needs good businessmen like him. To do business, not politics.

What GOOD legislation has the congress passed during the Ron Paul years? What, specifically, do you argue that he should've voted for?

I am sure he has voted 'yes' many times on legislation. Why has he not gotten any of his own legislation passed into law or worked on any that has become law. That usually signifies strong leadership. I actually think governors make better presidents overall, because they have had the experience of running states which is similar on a smaller scale to running a country with about a million times more problems and pressure. Senators and representatives just don't have that kind of executive experience.

And Senators and Representatives have a much better understanding of how DC works and how to get things done there...its a trade-off.

People on both sides of the spectrum are complaining about bad legislation getting passed, and here is one person who actually voted "No" on these bills. That is a huge accomplishment in an era where everyone is bought and paid for.

This is a topic very few people truly understand or appreciate ... And it is a topic that the powers that be do not like people talking about, especially on prime time TV in a GOP party debate.

Ending the Fed is likely the kind of thing that got both JFK and his brother Bobby killed (See Executive Order 11110 ).

Paul has accomplished nothing...other than attracting a bunch of deceived, brain-washed fanatics.

You gonna tell mommy ... ? ROTFLMAO ... Really dude? So you can call us "deceived, brain-washed fanatics" - but then you get upset when someone calls you out on the fact that you vote for imperialists and warmongers, and thus assumes that you must be one yourself? Wow ...

He's brought in hundreds of millions in pork projects to his district. Not too shabby.
