The Political Party

[radomu]

How ironic. I thought he was prone to corruption, and I also thought that's why most people supported him???

Criticizing Ron Paul for getting few bills passed is like criticizing a soldier for refusing to follow orders that kill civilians.

Do you have his poster up in your bedroom?

because an ineffective legislator is EXACTLY like a soldier who refuses to kill civilians.

good analogy.

Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul are no longer in office. I guess getting their action figures was a great idea.

"Effectiveness", no matter how shitty the bills that passed were, is a great way to measure representatives.

you have passed even fewer bills than has RP, so that makes you a far better legislator then he was.

and you have accomplished your lack of legislative output in a shorter period of time, so there is the efficiency factor as well.

Your logic is severely lacking. 

If you are measuring solely by the number of bills passed, then Republican Bill Young must be your favorite rep, because he's had 73 bills signed into law by the president in his time in office. The top ranking Democrat is Charlie Rangel (11 total House ethics violations), with 38 bills signed into law. Is Bill Young your hero?

Your failed logic doesn't stop there. House reps can't be judged for what the Senate does, so it only makes sense to judge their "effectiveness" by which laws pass the House.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has had 6 bills become law, to Ron Paul's 1. Pelosi has had 9 bills pass the House, to Paul's 2. That's a minority leader and former House speaker of all people.

now that RP is retired, he can no longer pass any more legislation anyway, thus his legislative effectiveness on the CR scale is going to skyrocket.

sounds like a win-win.
