CNN: Ron Paul's "Fake" Claim

with 'you haven't passed any legislation since you've been in Congress for 30 yrs'. Paul's reply should be 'You know Rick, I'm known as 'Dr No' in Congress, because when lobbyist like you and Newt working for people like Mitt, come to me with their unconstitutional debt raising 'special interest' bill, the answer has always been, NO! The reason I haven't had any bills past, is they have been targeted at trying to prevent the unconstitutional bills that you and Newt have been pushing, that have lead us: into our severe economic problems, the every expanding police state, and these endless military adventures of policing the world. If my legislation would of been past, our economy would be sound, the banksters would be out of business, and the debt would be decreasing. Our personal liberties would be restored, and the states would handle legislating and enforcement of their laws, without the federal government telling them what they can and cannot do. The wars without end, and policing the world to the liking of 'special interest' would have ceased long ago. And, the result, more than likely, the terrorists wouldn't have attacked us, because we wouldn't be forcing our policies on sovereign countries, and our National Security would be actually been focused on protecting us, instead of focused on telling foreign nations how they should be running there's. I'm here running on my record, you all are here running on mythical hyperboles, since your records are far from your rheteric!'

was "for all of Ron Paul's blustering about conservatism, the bottom line is that he's been in Congress for decades and has not had a single accomplishment to forward the cause of conservatism. Not one."

I've been working on a project on this subject and one of the bills that RP proposed was;
H.J.RES.82 : Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States authorizing the States to prohibit the physical destruction of the flag of the United States and authorizing Congress to prohibit destruction of federally owned flags.

Can you imagine, he had no Cosponsors on this proposal?

I couldn't even find a way to add a comment from that article. I looked all over the website and saw no way to add a comment!

Ron Paul Never Got Any Bills Passed? Good.
Here’s an interesting attack that some have been using against Ron Paul lately: Ron Paul was only able to get 1 out of 600+ bills passed in the thirty years he’s been in congress. This shows, they say, that while some of Ron Paul’s ideas are good, the man cannot get people to work with him and get behind those ideas. He just wouldn’t be able to get anything done.

Hmmm. Let’s take a look at some of the ideas that congress has been able to get behind: The Patriot Act, bailouts, the continual raising of the debt ceiling, No Child Left Behind, illegal wars, the NDAA (indefinite detention of Americans without a trial), etc. With this kind of people in congress, I think I would be suspicious of Paul’s bills if congress had gotten behind them.
Somehow, Ron Paul is to blame for congress not voting for any of his good ideas. Perhaps Ron Paul should have mixed it up a bit. If every once in a while he would have written some big government bills with patriotic-sounding names, he could have gotten some of those passed, and we wouldn’t be having this conversation right now. After all, it’s all about getting things done, right?

Citing the potential savings of all of his no votes, both those that passed and those that didn't pass.

Additionally, citing particular savings that could have been reached on any bills that he tried to pass.

Santorum; ""for all of Ron Paul's blustering about conservatism, the bottom line is that he's been in Congress for decades and has not had a single accomplishment to forward the cause of conservatism. Not one."

Paul; "And that is because of Big Spending Big Government Republicans,.. just..like...you."

CNN = Anyone but Ron Paul

Tell me; How does a social conservative condemn abortion, and yet condone assassinations of foreign dignitaries, leaders and scientists, endorse drone attacks which kill innocent women and children and approve drone patrols over our own skies
