what would happen with the economy, the war and the environment?

1. Probably nothing, because Dr. Paul's life expectancy would be greatly reduced if he wasn't dead already. "What is needed here is a return to the Constitution of the United States. We need to have a complete divorce of Bank and State. The old struggle that was fought out here in Jackson's day must be fought over again... The Federal Reserve Act should be repealed and the Federal Reserve Banks, having violated their charters, should be liquidated immediately. Faithless Government officers who have violated their oaths of office should be impeached and brought to trial. Unless this is done by us, I predict that the American people, outraged, robbed, pillaged, insulted, and betrayed as they are in their own land, will rise in their wrath and send a President here who will sweep the money changers out of the temple." -Louis McFadden US Congressman (R-PA) (1915-1935), Chairman of House Banking and Currency Committee. POISONED in 1936. "The high office of the President has been used to foment a plot to destroy the American's freedom and before I leave office, I must inform the citizen of this plight." John F Kennedy Columbia University on Nov. 12, 1963, 10 days before his ASSASINATION! Read my 360 blog...
2. We'd actually have a good and knowledgeable president in that case.. EDIT: Sharon (below me) are you really that deluded?? Do you even know the first thing about Ron Paul except for the fact that he's white?
3. Minorities would be left behind AGAIN. We need a President who care about ALL Americans not just the ones who look like him Obama was the Perfect choice he understands MOST Ethnic cultures.
4. Some happy people would be sad, and some sad people would be happy... the world would continue to rotate and revolve.
5. It will never happen.
6. I'm getting horny just thinking about it.... If Ron Paul was President the economy would sink much faster than it is now(thus making ME richer!!!) and, I don't care about silly issues like the war and environment. That's Liberal crap. This world would be shaping up if RP was President...
7. You mean, by accident? He wouldn't be able to do anything. He would get nothing accomplished and would likely get impeached if he actually tried to abolish the department of education or the EPA, or, for that matter, withdraw all our troops from foreign countries. Although the latter would be amusing.
8. well,nothing.......because I am assuming the sun just fell out of the sky and the seas all boiled away, if Ron Paul just became president in this alternate reality.
9. America would have freedom again!
10. Americans would have lost their sense... so it wouldn't matter anymore.
11. not much...spammers would, however become a special interest, or lobbyist group with some clout as no one else seems to care much.
12. damn look at all these negative answers, so much stupidy and failure, it's just disgusting, sad this is what most American's are these days. He would get rid of the three departments such as department of education, department of energy, and the department of homeland security. He would get us out of the war in Iraq, get troops out of foreign countries like South Korea, Saudi Arabia, etc. Basically cutting government spending and eliminating government bureaucracies, thus improving our economy. He wouldn't get rid of the federal reserve though, and Ron Paul knows that. Koalatcomics why are you making fun of spammers when you're a spammer yourself ass*ole.
13. Fate has decided Ron Paul to be the "I told you so guy", as we've seen in numerous cases like the war, the economy etc. I suspect a man of his intelligence would have set this country on the right track at the very least. He's not a miracle worker so he probably won't change the world! Like he said, we'd be out of the war which he argues is an illegal war and he'd likely make efforts to destroy the currency we use and replace it with something that's backed by gold. Sound drastic? It is, that's why he lost. People fear what they do not understand.
