It turns out Congress has a baseball game between Republicans and Democrats to let off steam for at least the past 50 years and Ron Paul has been the only Congressman to hit a ball out of the park for a home run during that time. See some pics.

So you base your desire for other people to like your candidate based on how well a candidate plays baseball instead of his political stances?

I have not heard a similar argument since elementary school politics.

I loved the last video on that site. Obama making sure that he got this one to the plate without bouncing it. Remember his first effort?

The only political stance that matters is that Ron Paul adheres to the Constitution consistently and never wavers. That's not something Obama can claim.

Ha Ha. It is just a bit of trivia I thought people might be interested in. But it does show Ron Paul is no frail weakling.
