An aside: this guy slams home the point I've argued with Ron Paul fans for months now -- if the miracle of the century occurred and Paul was elected (although there exists no such thing as an "anti-war GOP" anymore), he would accomplish zilch.

Both the pro-war-big-business-friendly GOP and large-government Dems would not be able to accomplish anything with the man, so our government would effectively accomplish nothing for four years.
