Isn’t Ron Paul something like the last man in the NFL draft, “Mr. Irrelevant?”
He doesn’t understand the word “former”.
You’re right, let’s ignore what he has to say on the basis of his current position. No need for thought.
Actually, I thought about it when he had a position. I thought he was Mr. Irrelevent even then.
LOVE you, Ron!!! I was in my 20’s during the Nixon debacle & I voted for McGovern. I was so proud Nixon went down for his crimes. Thank you for reminding people of how far we’ve sunk, how the bar that was once so high is now laying on the ground. If only you had been elected POTUS Ron, the troops would be home & our economy recovering.
Nixon was well respected for his foreign policy. Seems that Jimmy Carter would be Ron Paul’s foreign policy hero.
The “Law and Order” President.
Oh for Christ sake. Ron, did you get the memo – Rand is running.
Statistically, Nixon was one of the best Presidents the United States ever had.
He’d be considered a liberal Democrat today.
I voted for him twice and would do it again if he were alive and ran for President today.
By which statistics? The number of administration figures indicted? To this day Dick Nixon is the only U.S. president named an “unindicted co-conspirator” by a federal prosecutor.
Most presidents since Nixon have contributed to the perpetuation of the Imperial Presidency. Why? Because of the fecklessness of Congress. They will not assert their prerogatives — that takes time, effort, dedication, guts and thoughtfulness. Our professional political class is obsessed with retaining their positions and, by many accounts, spend 40-70 per cent of their time begging for money. This is our fault. How do they keep being re-elected? The electorate should demand change. We need the balance of powers intended in the Constitution, but we won’t have it again unless the status quo is upended.
