    Ron Paul marginalized himself with his stupid comments and lame foreign policy

    You haven't proven crap. In desperation you claim attaching an amendment to a bill that WILL pass is passing legislation. All you've shown is your utter desperation to try to make it look like a do nothing wind bag has done something. and what is the "something he has done? Snuck a rider on to passable legislation, MAYBE BAD legislation. and maybe BAD amendment.

    Paul has managed to get one bill he sponsored. Fact! Sneaking an amendment of somebody else bill, is that the "honorable Ron Paul" that can't get anything passed because ALL the others are crooks? But he can ride on the crooks bill? Total laughable desperation.

    And by the time the old bags croak, the immature children will have aged, gained some experience and maybe a bit of wisdom and realized that Paul was just a windbag Politician.

    And how is Paul's strategy of racking up delegates in Feb going so far???
    Or do the Paulobots absolutely refuse to discuss the title of this thread?

    Paul with 9 or Paul with 20, means Paul is last. That truth is painless to me, Howsabout you?

    And counting on uncommitted delegates is a more and more foolish endeavor as he falls further and further behind. The further behind Paul falls, the more likely the delegates will be to follow their states voting results. Which would mean almost no "free" delegates for RP.

    Its REALITY that hurts, and I'm not the one feeling the pain.

    You mean the difference between the pledged and superdelegates? I understand how it works. Superdelegates can choose anyone they like. They are all projected at this point until they are officially announced.

    And Paul has 9.

    The rest are Paulobots imaginations and hopes. Maybe in a few months he will have a real 40 or 50. But he will still be LAST! I couldn't care less if Paul finishes last, or third, or second. He won't win, even Paulobots should realize THAT. This IS his last hurrah. After Tampa [or sooner] the Ron Paul name will fade into oblivion. Maybe Rand Paul will take up the banner, and that is fine if he DOES SOMETHING with it.

    Um, yeah. It is. Passing an amendment into law has the same effect as passing a bill. Give me a break. You're just moving the goal pots.

    Oh, so now you care about whether the legislation is good or bad. When did that happen? I thought what was important to you was that something passed. Spare me. You're not being honest. Why don't you admit why you really don't like Ron Paul.

    We'll see. Those "experienced" and "accomplished" elders you're talking about have only managed to wreck the entire country. How wise!

    That's not an accurate assessment, since many of the delegates are unbound, including in Iowa, Nevada, Colorado, and Minnesota. We don't know who those delegates are going to go to yet.

    Amendments! Where do earmarks come from? Amendments. Where does PORK come from? Amendments. Where do bad laws come from? Amendments.

    And WHAT nation benefiting amendments has the "Man of Principle" Paul, snuck through, attached to what kind of onerous bills? Amendments most often have nothing to do with the bill they get attached to by POLITICIANS!
    He CAN'T pass a law, but he can sneak something through like any good long term POLITICIAN. NOT Folk Hero, POLITICIAN!

    So LIST how the nation has benefited from Paul's amendments to someone else's bill. Item by item, what have we gained from Paul's political expediency? You say amendments are GOOD! List them! And WHAT are the implications of the bills he used to ride on? This man of unwavering principle.

    I just did! Don't you read??? "His greatest achievement in that area was the partial audit of the Federal Reserve, allowing us to see the trillions of dollars they're doling out to foreign banks. In addition, per Wikipedia, 'by amending other legislation, he has helped prohibit funding for national identification numbers, funding for federal teacher certification, International Criminal Court jurisdiction over the U.S. military, American participation with any U.N. global tax, and surveillance of peaceful First Amendment activities by citizens.'"

    And since when to you give a crap about bad legislation? I've been opposing the other three on the grounds that the legislation they passed was bad. You've totally ignored this, insisting that the important thing is that some legislation passed.

    TELL THE TRUTH, why do you really oppose Ron Paul. This aren't the real reason. You're just giving lame excuses for why you oppose him because you don't want to address the real reason.

    And how many times do I have to inform you that NO additional audit of the FED was ever passed. The Fed was audited as it always is, BY LAW. There was no new and different law passed to change the way the Fed is audited.

    Paul's Fed transparency bill, sponsored many many times has always died in committee. And that is where the latest version of Paul's bill (and Rand Paul's Senate bill for the same) now sits and languishes. And where both will die when this Congress ends.

    I don't "hate" him, I'm disgusted with career politicians that just talk and talk and NEVER do anything. The other candidates HAVE accomplishments that in your opinion are bad, but they HAVE accomplishments. Paul has talk. And I find your opinion that all the others are lying when their message is very similar to Paul's, ridiculous. Romney HAS done what Romney has done, Gingrich has done what Gingrich has done. Paul has done nothing in 3 decades in Congress [hold the excuses, excuses are for losers] and has QUIT in his 2 previous presidential tries. And his support this time might be the best yet, but it is still MEAGER and he will QUIT again as it becomes more and more obvious to rational, and irrational thinkers that he has no chance. Paulobots will never acknowledge that he has no chance and NEVER did have any chance. From day one he has been a waste of time and energy.

    Similar to Paul's?!?

    Paul's major views on almost everything is vastly different then the other candidates.

    The budget, size of government, Presidential powers, the Constitution, the NDAA, foreign policy, military deployment, protectionism, the Fed, the Patriot Act and on and on...vast differences in policies.

    Let's start with the budget.

    Name one other candidate who pledges to cut $1 trillion from the budget his first year? And balance it in only 3?

    And when I pointed to Paul's accomplishments, you said that didn't matter if the accomplishments were bad. So you're clearly not being honest and straightforward here.
