It is simply not realistic to think that Congress is suddenly going to vote to unilaterally drop all of our trade barriers, if only we elect Ron Paul. It *is* realistic to think that Congress might be willing to take important steps toward free trade, if we had a John McCain or Bill Richardson in the White House who was willing to compromise instead of adhering to rigid rhetoric.
