Thanks for the certificate, SpaceBro!
Why didn't I mention the Liberatarian candidates or the independents?
Because we are talking about Ron Paul. If you want to talk about some people who really don't have much chance of winning, then we should talk about the third-party tryers. All the jellybrains in the middle don't even realize other candidates are running, and we all know why...because the media will not acknowledge them, because the media, like the government, is wholly controlled by corporate interests, who will not allow anyone near the pResidency who is not in lockstep with their marching tune.
Ron Paul is morally against abortion. After years of struggle with the subject, I also think that the moral choice is to have the baby if at all possible. Ron Paul is a baby doctor...Dr. Paul...so he's seen abortion and he knows something about it. As far as the law goes, he doesn't think the Federal government should make any law regarding abortion, and that the states should hold this power. He damn sure doesn't think the Federal government should pay for anyone's abortion. That said, don't get all cranky about it, and stop acting as if everything Ron Paul believes will become law when he's elected. There's a very good possiblity that you'll still be able to kill your baby before it has a chance to breathe, even after Ron Paul has served eight years in the White House.
As for gay rights and gay marriage, Ron is very clear on this subject. Goverment has no business sticking their nose in any of it. He might be morally opposed himself to homosexualtiy, but he believes in personal freedom. He doesn't think government should be involved in marriage at all...it should be a religious rite, and that's it.
There's a lot of disinformation out there about Ron Paul. That's to be expected, since he is so feared by the controlling class. As per ususal, corporate dumb-bots always bring up the wedge issues, and never bring up the real issues. He's going to bring our troops home. He's going to give us as much freedom as possible, according to the Constitution, and stop throwing us in jail for bullshit. We are going to stop being the world's prick policeman, and we're going to concentrate on our own country. That's the core of Ron Paul, and that is stuff a pResident can do on his own without much acquiesence from the other branches of government.
As for his voting record, he isn't known as Dr. No for nothing. He didn't vote for war, and he didn't vote for bailouts. If he ever did vote for something outside of his normal platform, he did it because he is a politician, because that's how it works, a vote for this for a vote for that or some other consideration. Surely you understand that.
As we can see from bugler's post, Ron Paul is bringing the potheads and gun nuts together, and anyone that can do that can unify this nation.
With all this said, I can surely state that it's all just writing practice for me. Nobody gives a shit what I think, especially people whose minds are trapped inside the corporate box. Americans never listen to the smart guy...they don't even like intelligence. This is why we wind up with morons as our leaders.
But, what I don't get, Spacebro, is why you would spend so much time on these obscure forum debates. It must take you hours to compile your graphic posts. I sometimes wonder if you aren't working for the NSA, since you have so much time for this, and you continually hawk the corporate-government viewpoint. I might be the king of all bullshitters, but at least I'm thinking my own thoughts.
I can't say who Frank would vote for, either...but I'm sure he would give heavy consideration to freedom mongers like Ron Paul.
Here's a little music for y'all this morning...
