You don't make law from the Executive Branch. The Republican party alone, without the Democrats, would never let him do what he wants to do. Look at Paul's Congressional Record - he's only had one law passed (I'm pretty sure) in his decades of Congress. The rest have been too crazy to pass. That won't change. He's nothing new. Ron Paul has been the same for decades. He want to eliminate government.

I think Paul and Huntsman will do well in New Hampshire. They don't like Romney, so Huntsman is the "intelligent" Romney, and Paul will get the "live free or die" anti-government bunch.

Not if we wise up. I don't think we need to eliminate government to get them out (and yes, they are found on both sides of the aisle, and no, I am not saying Obama is exempt)

I think Occupy is going to make politics very uncomfortable for everybody this election cycle, and that includes the Dems and Obama (who has already been "mic checked" by Occupy).

This is a very interesting article, looking at Occupy (the validity and sustainability as a movement) compared to other revolutions and insurgencies:
