It doesn't really matter much that Ron Paul is in attendance. All POTUS candidates tend to neglect their day job while running for the election. At least he's going to be off the government dole come January, since he didn't run for another term in Congress and isn't going to be in the White House either. He will be able to speak with less irony about the evils of government when he is no longer part of the machine.
yes, paul is doing it. yes, nearly every other current politician that has ever run for another office has done it too. no, i don't like it.
i wish that all politicians had to take a break between elections. fewer career, corrupt politicians, and they wouldn't be able to ditch their current job for campaigning.
He's passed one bill in like 30 years. And that was nothing major.
He's worthless, no one misses him, no one cares.
Not many do their job as well as Ron Paul. His job is to represent his constituents, not sell out. He has used earmarks to get his constituents their money back so it is spent in their area. It doesn't increase the budget. What isn't earmarked is spent by the President. Congress appropriates the money the President directs the spending.
Auditing the Fed and finding out about things like trillions going to foreign banks and businesses nothing major? The secretive Federal Reserve is the number one obstacle to economic stability. That's something else you don't know.
McCain was somewhat of an exception since he suspended his campaign to deal with the financial crisis. And he was strongly criticized for that too. So it just goes to prove - damned if you do, damned if you don't. So you might as well just campaign and not risk losing votes.
Yes, I see you guys like truth, someone states the fact the Paul has accomplished little to nothing in 30 years in Congress and we see how you guys react to truth when it is shown to you.
Not to worry the pain of losing AGAIN will pass, eventually.

This is why congressmen and women should serve for longer than 2 years. In this case, he is running for Pres but the reps have to run all the time. They barely finish one campaign and it is time to run again. Give them 4 year terms and they could do somethng more than campaign. nway
