I have serious doubts that he could get such a thing accomplished, nor do I believe any of his "conservative" campaign promises. He's a fake. He can denounce those quotes all he wants, but who wouldn't? He'll denounce whatever abhorrent bully bull that ever came out of his mouth to win an election. It doesn't mean that he isn't a bigot anymore.
Logic and reason dictate that Ron Paul is NOT fake. He;s been consistent for 30 years. If he was "fake", don't you think the elites' media would be paying attention to him? He basically wins almost every poll, so if he's gonna continue their plan, it would be to their benefit to shine a light on him.
Me thinks you're too hung up on some quotes that he didn't even say mind you, from a magazine that had his name on it, years ago. He's already said as much that he doesn't adhere to that. And I don't know why we as a people feel the need to be ashamed of any feelings of proudness of being "white." Obama's racist pastor didn't stop him from being elected.

A president can, however, choose to lower the priority of drug enforcement. He can also ignore illegal (by federal eyes) dispensaries.
Bush ignored the dispensaries. Obama did for two years. It's a political tomfoolery game, enabled by conmen of congress.
Well if Ron Paul's proposals are being backed by the people, Congress will voter with him, no matter if they agree or not. They do not want to go back to their districts hated, they want to be re-elected.
So if a President Paul has popular support among the people, Congress will not be an obstacle.
