What promises has he broken so far?  You do realize how long he has been making promises, how long he has been acting upon those promises, and how long he has been in government right?


Anyhow,

I don't see why Ron Paul would have any reason to mention a start up currency unless he just some how learned all about it and got really excited about it.  I doubt he'd make himself that easy of a target on TV though.  Basically *every thing* he says is rock solid, which is why the media has to just sound retarded to try and make him look bad.   Sure I disagree with him about religious stuff, but most people are actually religious, while I am not.

If on the other hand he got a really strong understanding of bitcoins and understood the beauty behind it, he might have some terrific insight into what kind of impact a prolific bitcoin market could have on the economy.
