Ron Paul - How are you always right about everything and how are all of the other candidates so clueless?All that aside, there are some good questions there. There are a number of posters that I want to sit down and chat with about their ideas. More so than I do most of the candidates.
Omg lol. My first thought when I read this was joking that my question would be "oh Ron will you save us please?"Ran across a couple more:

As there is nothing in the Constitution that limits the number of terms a senator or representative can serve, they don't have a limit. To change this would require an amendment to the Constitution.
Before the amendment can go to the states for ratification, it must be passed by congress and signed by the president.
What do you think the chances are for Congress to pass something that will limit their own powers?
There is another way and that is a plebicite where all the people vote on the amendment. That too, must be passed by congress to be put on the ballot.
The last alternative is a million or more people occupying Washington with Congress locked inside their Capital until the do pass the legislation.
That may seem implausible to do but with the current mood of the middle class, it might grow into a powerful movement. Of course, they would call every military person available to quash this but if they do more people should move into the city. Perhaps a fire or two at the local offices of congressment aroung the country will encourage them that their hide is worth more than the job.
