Ron Paul works in Washington EXACTLY like every other politician... And he has for over 30 years. Every Ron Paul supporter has stated power and Congress corrupts and they think he is immune. Not accoding to his voting history, or the fact that h does his job without pay. How corrupt is that?? WHAT JOB does he do without pay How many doctors do you know of in this century that delivered babies without recompense even occassionally. he could not make a living if he did that. What I think you are referring to is he did not charge those with federal insurance because he refused federal money, which is also admirable. HE still received money though, from the patients who could pay or had private insurance. True, and he never refused a patient due to their inability to pay as well.

Ron Paul works in Washington EXACTLY like every other politician... And he has for over 30 years. Every Ron Paul supporter has stated power and Congress corrupts and they think he is immune. to be fair, he doesnt seem to have held much more power than OBama since in 22 years, Paul sponsored 620 bills and got ONE signed into law,,,thats a rate of about 28 bills per year and a .04 percent success rate comparing to OBama who sponsored 121 bills as senator from 2005-2008 and had only 3 passed into law,,,thats a rate of about 40 bills per year and a 2 percent success rate neither one are/were bigshots in terms of political power before they ran RP's bills never get passed because they are all against big government, for the people, and usually a repeal or amendment to something that has already been passed that he felt overstepped its constitutional limits. Of course his bills never get passed. They call him "Dr No" because he votes against all the bills he feels are unconstitutional.... that should tell you something about our lawmakers in DC. maybe that they wouldnt follow Ron Paul,,,,at least that could be one take on it similar to one take on Obamas presidency,,, if they didnt agree with him on anything THEN, why would they work with him NOW and if thats the case, would we have four years of the constant stalling that we have seen with Obama and his not so diplomatic or cooperative congressional colleagues?

If elected, he would inspire the people to pressure the lawmakers into cleaning up their acts, and probably get more support and cooperation from the house and senate than any President has in a very long time!

You must admit..... what he said would happen all those years ago, that made people call him fringe, crazy, a doomsdayer..... welcome to the reality..... People see now that he wasn't so crazy after all, and are starting to listen a whole lot closer to what he has to say now

All the others want power and privilledge, notoriety, promise bandaids for the here and now. RP thinks to the future, the outcome of actions, fixes for the long term, the promise of a future for us and our children. The others are like teenagers that found dads credit card and car keys. Buy a lot of friends, load em in the suv, and drive them off a cliff in a drunken power stupor!

I HIGHLY doubt he dilevers babies for free and doesn't bill the patient AND OR their insurance. That is pure lunacy to think that.

Not the pension plan, not the bennies like vacation junkets the others enjoy at our expense. He's also never voted for the yearly raise the others vote for themselves. Just to clarify for the person who posted that statement. Anyways, your also forgetting his constantly upgrading his plane tickets to first class and hosing the taxpayers with the bill.

Maybe in the type of medicine he is in had rubbed off on him, he is aroung pu##ies all day, and then he became one........

This statement is so idiotic it can't be let go. That's like condemning a guitar for having strings, when they all do, and they are required to make it work. Or the entertainer for buying strings of better quality that will better insure the completion of their performance without breaking or losing tune. At least qualify your statemnts with the dignity of a little reality rather than repeating laughable MSM rhetoric that has been shot down in flames, even on their own networks.
