What if Ron Paul made a speech 13 years ago and none of that stuff has fundamentally changed due to the actions of Ron Paul?

I wouldn't put the blame on the things he highlighted as not changing because of him. Sadly we've got big government republicans and democrats that get propped up in the media and receive an absurd amount of funding where other parties or individuals get ignored. It's hard for non-mainstream messaging to get out to the masses and for that to influence change in government.

It's sad that we don't have a pro-liberty, pro-fiscal responsibility, and an American first candidate. It's sad that none of the candidates nowadays seem to reference history and the constitution as a basis for shaping their policies.

I figure if you point it out but you lack a plan to do something about it, that really isn't all that helpful, but I hear you on the rest of your points. I can devise about ten plans that would deal with the problems Paul points out, and I'm not paid to be a politician.
