Actually the only award Ron Paul gets is the one for being the most intellectually incoherent reckless demagogue who has ever run for US President.

Simple question for you Paulbots.

HOW and WHAT would Ron Paul do as President?

http://www.ronpaul2008.com/issues/

Here is his “issues” page. Not a word on what or how he would do anything. Just a bunch of slogans screaming bile at everything and everyone. No idea, no plans, just a bunch of slogans designed stictly to push the emotions of the political fringes run together and called an agenda.

For people who scream so loudly about the US Constitution, the Paulbots demonstrate pretty much a total lack of any understanding of how our Constitutional Republic works.

slogans?

You mean like “fuzzy math”....”bring it on”.....”comprehensive immigration reform”...”evildoers”.....oh...and “compassionate conservatism”?

You’re too funny.

Ron Paul is the living embodiment of the phrase “Those who can, do. Those who can’t do, teach. And those who don’t do either, criticize!”

Each issue has a drill-down link to a discussion of proposed solutions. Here’s one:

Border Security and Immigration Reform

The talk must stop. We must secure our borders now. A nation without secure borders is no nation at all. It makes no sense to fight terrorists abroad when our own front door is left unlocked. This is my six point plan:

Physically secure our borders and coastlines. We must do whatever it takes to control entry into our country before we undertake complicated immigration reform proposals.

Enforce visa rules. Immigration officials must track visa holders and deport anyone who overstays their visa or otherwise violates U.S. law. This is especially important when we recall that a number of 9/11 terrorists had expired visas.

No amnesty. Estimates suggest that 10 to 20 million people are in our country illegally. That’s a lot of people to reward for breaking our laws.

No welfare for illegal aliens. Americans have welcomed immigrants who seek opportunity, work hard, and play by the rules. But taxpayers should not pay for illegal immigrants who use hospitals, clinics, schools, roads, and social services.

End birthright citizenship. As long as illegal immigrants know their children born here will be citizens, the incentive to enter the U.S. illegally will remain strong.
Pass true immigration reform. The current system is incoherent and unfair. But current reform proposals would allow up to 60 million more immigrants into our country, according to the Heritage Foundation. This is insanity. Legal immigrants from all countries should face the same rules and waiting periods.


So yes, he does propose either solution or approaches (the FedGov can’t outright solve everything, nor should it, but can sometimes change its approach to things.
