Abortion would continue to be legal, however...

From AnnCoulter.com

It would serve the rest of the world right to have Paul running the show for a term or two. Then they'd find out what it's like to be entirely on their own, protecting their own sea and air lanes, digging themselves out of their own earthquakes, getting invaded and nuked by hostile powers, having their computers hacked by terrorists and buying oil from the new Islamic caliphate. After eight years of President Paul, it would be generations before we'd hear a peep of anti-American sentiment again.

Ah yes, Ann. Never one to let decency, or the facts, get in her way.

If Paul were president, next to nothing would happen. Washington would be in grid lock; he'd veto a lot of legislation; Congress would grandstand and maybe even override a veto or three. But he wouldn't be able to get much done. He poses enough of a threat to the establishment to guarantee that. And frankly, if he's honest and consistent (and he always has been), Paul would probably tell you that's exactly the point: the president isn't supposed to do much, constitutionally. Congress should be the driver in Washington.

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Nothing substantial ever changes from administration to administration except the greater scope of executive power. That's their job: maintain the status quo, and justify greater power. End of story.

The economic landscape would improve significantly. Budgets would be balanced. Our overseas bases and nation building would slow to a trickle. Citizens would get to keep more of their own money (abolish the income tax) and the money the have wouldn't be "taxed" through inflation (abolish or audit the federal reserve).

Helicopter Ben could cook hamburgers instead of balance sheets.

The federal war on drugs would end. Life would be defined as beginning at conception and the states could enforce laws on both. The Patriot Act would be overturned, restoring some of the liberties we have lost.

This is all hopefully in the first year or so. So, to be continued...:D

Ron Paul is saying a lot of things that need to be said
and
I am happy to see him on the debates
but
relax he will not be the nominee
and
instead of worrying about that

why don't we just listen to what he has to say

why do you split your sentence structure up on the conjunctions?

If for whatever cause he's allowed to do what he's promising, and if he succeeds, the U.S. could be improved in the ways poster Wiz suggested at least.

Judging by the fate of past U.S. Presidents, who coincidently were assassinated when they opposed the plutocracy, I don't think Ron Paul will be allowed to succeed even if he's elected.

I believe that if ron Paul were to be elected president, he would do what he has said he would, fix what he has said was broken, and end the corruption that has manifested itself in our current infrastructure. Every other candidate running reeks of corruption and Ill intentions. It is not their faults however, you can't blame the puppet for the actions of it's master. Ron Paul is the only real candidate this year, it's him or a puppet, take your pick. So instead of patting Paul supporters on the back and saying "he'll never win but..." we should need only start looking more closely at everyone running, if you take all your information from mainstream media, then you're only going to believe what you're taught to, do research. Ex. Romney supports carbon tax, look that up and try to maintain support for him.

On that note, let's all light up a joint.
