Ron Paul was right...

So no laws that he wants to get passed would even be considered and he would veto almost everything because he is not a politician known to compromise.

YOu mean like the Dems in the Senate have compromised on the 20 or so jobs bills passed by the R's in the house last year?

I think Obama is a perfect example of a candidate that inspired hope and change only to get shot down by an uncompromising Republican party. The same thing would happen to Ron Paul except he'd take it from both sides. Plus I would argue Obama has been way more compromising than Ron Paul has been or would ever be. So if you think Obama can't get much done now, imagine Ron Paul's obstacles. It really doesn't matter. We all know Mitt's got the nomination.

See, is this more BS propagated by the media.

When Obama was elected, he had the MAJORITY in the HOUSE and the SENATE, and he got his bailout, healthcare, etc passed.

It wasn't until the 2010 Election the R's got the House, BUT the D's still have the Senate. The R's have passed NUMEROUS bills to try to kickstart the economy, except Reid/Pelosi won't even allow them up for discussion on the floor.

The D's didn't pass a budget while they had all three branches, only continuing resolutions to prevent shutdown's.

I'm not absolving the R's of blame for past sins, but the D's had all of 2009/2010 to implement their policies, all it's gotten us is $5 Trillion in debt and a still fragile economy with 11%+ REAL unemployment.
