Ron Paul said he didn't pay any attention to what was in his newsletter, so...

...how much money did he take from subscribers led to believe they were getting his views on events of the day?

And now that he claims that was not true, and he spent decades providing no oversite to things done in his name, will he give them their money back?

20 years in Congress with no significant legislation authored and

Editor and publisher of newsletters that he didn't even bother to read, much less edit

Now he wants to be President. I don't think so.
