I very much appreciate the fact that your criticisms are substantive rather than personal. That is a welcome development in the debate over Ron Paul.
The record that you described is not Ron Paul's "true record." His real record is well known to his constituents in Texas. That's why he keeps getting re-elected even though the Republican Party actively campaigns against him.
That Ron Paul's many liberty-advancing bills have not been enacted into law is the fault of those that oppose liberty. We will never advance liberty by getting rid of those with the right ideas in favor of those with wrong ideas who can get their ideas enacted.
Other than building the fence at San Diego, what has Duncan Hunter accomplished? Not to attack him, but he has good ideas that have not been enacted. That's not his fault. At least he's trying.
What are the accomplishments of Rudy or Romney or McCain that advanced liberty? (They don't even have the right ideas.) Or Thompson for that matter. OR ANYONE!!!
At least Ron Paul got us the American Eagle gold coin. And his pressure on the fed as chairman of the banking committee (subcommittee?) has helped to keep the fed honest, at least more so than they otherwise would have been.

Go to Hunter’s congressional site.
His major accomplishments re the military and national security for the past many years exceeds that of most congressmen and senators.
