Actually he may propose it but he would get absolutely nothing past Congress so it's doubtful he would ever get a single piece of legislation done. He would bring very little change as nobody really agrees with him on most issues.

Yes, with a total of 9,600 votes...he is untouchable
I feel really sad for all the Paul supporters...he will not get the GOP nomination.
6,147-Active Cities across the nation.
22,429-total votes
Ron Paul 9,784 ...Nearly half the poll.
The next closest candidate doen't even have half of what he does!
You believe this poll to not show the mind set of GOP'ers across the nation that watched the debate? Your line of thinking is not logical by any means! In 2011 Paul has won the CPAC straw poll and the RLC straw poll and looks as if he is in standing to win or place second in the Iowan poll when the citizens of Iowa vote!!! The will of the people doesn't mean anything to you? Get off the propoganda driven media wagon already will ya! JEESH!

DES MOINES, IA - Texas Congressman Ron Paul has won the first-ever online Iowa straw poll, capturing a commanding 44% of the over 6,000 votes cast in an online poll sponsored by Iowa Congressman Tom Latham's campaign. The results of the two-week online poll (located at: onlineiowastrawpoll.com) were announced one day before Saturday's Ames Straw Poll, which is considered by most as the first real test of a presidential candidate's organizational strength in Iowa.

Problem is. it's the same small group, year after year. The rate of growth is negligible for that group. Cheer at the debates, then run and stuff the online polls.
Let's wait till the real polls are taken -- the primary and the general election. Then you can YAY! all night long.

So how exactly do they rig the elections or are you just stating this based on no fact whatsoever?
I'd be very interested to know how they do it.

It's not the same small group and you have absolutely no backing data or any idea what your talking about, this is just what FOX is saying and I guess your buying what their selling. I see new people backing RP all the time, especially in the last few days. Why don't you take a look at the topix.com polls, then come back and tell me about this "same small group"?
We can YAY all night long, but morons are still going to listen to what FOX news tells them to do and we can kiss our country (and our boys and girls overseas) goodbye. Does it sound like I'm freaking YAYing to you?
The next debate will be the one to watch.
We need Rick Perry and Sarah Palin on the stage.

Pull Pawlenty. He is too weak.
His performance was bad last night.

Yes it is the same small group. I'd say his solid support in the US is less than 500k. And any new people are just newbies to the game who don't know any better -- they'll change their tune as they learn more about him.

The local Iowa reporter covering Ames said she has spoken with several RP **supporters** who had come to Ames to vote for RP, but changed their minds after hearing his views on Iran during the debate.
Now THAT is a telling fact.

Yeah, it does. You can't accept Ron Paul's basic limitations and faults, and why the overwhelming number of US voters reject him. To you everything is Blah blah blah..FOX News FOX News FOX News...Blah blah blah.
The world doesn't like RP's wacko views. Admit it -- it's not a conspiracy, it's just simple rejection.
