Odds are, Ron Paul has been right at a 99% success rate.

Beauty contests get what we got.

And still... he ends his political career the same way he has always maintained it; Completely without any serious influence on American politics whatsoever.

Not according to the people whose opinion actually matters.

I think it's inappropriate and highly disgusting and a slap in the face to the hundreds of thousands of men who died in the civil war to have idiots like Ron Paul talk about seccession. Those were serious, moral men who were willing to give their lives for what they believed in. Today the people talking seccession are used car salesmen.

If you think he had no influence you are either a fool or blind.

And he matters why? Because you say he does?

Yep hundreds of thousands of American's died fighting the British for the right to secede and hundreds of thousands of Confederates died doing the same thing.

He's a fool for saying Ron Paul has no influence? Why?

Last I checked, influential people get elected to a higher level.

Ron Paul hardly has much influence in the Lack Jackson, TX area, much less nationally.

If you think influence gets you elected...and even more, that being an elected official is reflective of capacity....I have a bridge to sell you.

I hope you aren't comparing the idiots talking seccession these days to those people. That would be like comparing a Ford Pinto to a Ferrari.
