very true. another thing though, say ron paul really did win the nomination and then won the election and became president he could do almost nothing towards it. just 1 person in Congress or the senate can kill any bill they want like the republicans did to obama the first 2 yrs of him being president. So unless ron paul also develops magic power or completely overthrows the federal government and its checks and balance system and takes all the powers the houses and courts currently posses and makes himself king/dictator with absolute power it wont happen because of ron paul. He could presidential pardon all non violent marijuana users which i strongly support but if he did carry that out would he be a huge hypocrite as it would be him, the executive branch of the federal government getting involved in thousands of state cases. something he's adamant the federal government shouldnt do as each state should be able to make and enforce the laws and regulations.
