I have asked this question several times now of Paul supporters and not one will address it.
What is it exactly you think Paul will accomplish if he is president? and while we are at it, let’s add another question germane to that — what major piece of legislation can Paul claim credit for.

I think that was a point I was trying to make, to. His “bills” he’s sponsored have never made it out of committee. Furthermore, it sure seems that while he rails against earmarks, his hand is sure out to accept them.

That's an asset, not a liability. Besides, there was a ten-year gap between his Congressional terms.
