Ron Paul More Quotes by Ron Paul More Quotes From Ron Paul Ideas are the only things that count, and politicians are, for the most part, pretty much irrelevant. Ron Paul irrelevantpoliticianideas Imagine if the political elites in our country were forced to endure the same conditions at the airport as business travelers, families, senior citizens, and the rest of us.

We need only to banish to the ash heap of history the notion that we ought to be ruled by our fears and those who use them to enhance their own power.
