He may be personally pro-Life (and maybe a Houston Astros fan and possibly a stamp or coin collector), which is irrelevant. Ron Paul hides behind the 10th Amendment to avoid DOING anything about it. Meanwhile he winks to his libertoonian college enthusiasts. He claims to be pro-family but once again interposes 10th Amendment arguments. The fact is that this is not 1795. The federal courts generally and SCOTUS in particular have been cramming social revolution down our throats since Griswold vs. Connecticut and Roe vs. Wade. As with Ahmadinejad and the Iranian nuclear threat, paleoPaulie's "solution" is to hold hands with the enemy and sing Kumbaya while another 50 million babies are sliced, diced and hamburgerized courtesy of SCOTUS. He would probably want to appoint to SCOTUS justices who would protect abortion since it is "none of our business" like Iranian nukes but force the sale of lighthouses on some arcane theory that the "constitution" according to early pre-Christian Murray Rothbard does not grant lighthouse authority to the federales.
The paleosurrenderman is also a rank fraud on spending by cramming each federal budget with Galveston pork projects, then voting against the Appropriations bill, and depending on the Nancy Pelosis and John Boehners to vote his pork through while he poses for "fiscal conservative" holy pictures.
Maybe we should elect someone to change that direction?
And why even have a 10th Amendment if you want a centralized government?
You either believe in the 10th or you don't. But you can't have it both ways.
>>>That is about the fifth time on this thread that you have made the claim that Ron Paul is a pro-life Republican. He may be personally pro-Life (and maybe a Houston Astros fan and possibly a stamp or coin collector), which is irrelevant.

Lorainne, when you get time, ask so-called “BlackElk” the question, “What can Ron Paul do, as a single House member, to stop abortion?”. I’ll bet you get nothing but a dribble of incoherent nonsense. Ron Paul knows the only way to stop abortion, short of declaring himself dictator, is to appoint pro-life judges (if you don’t give a flip about the constitution), or return the power the states, as the constitution prescribes.

What this clown won’t tell you is that the concept of “Earmarking” the MSM and BlackElk project is a Hoax. This is the way is truly is:
The House passes a budget of so many dollars. That amount is all that will be spent, period. Then the house targets those dollars: so much for defense, so much for infrastructure, etc.. Whatever is left over is either “earmarked” by individual house and senate member (usually for projects in their districts), or it goes to the executive branch for the President to spend as he pleases.
Understand: Ron Paul earmarks as much as he can of the bloated budget to keep it out of the hands of Obama and his leftist thugs. Earmarks are transparent, but when Obama gets his dirty hands on it, he can spend it as he pleases. Also understand that Ron Paul wants all of the budget “earmarked” for transparency, and all to be constitutionally authorized.
In other words, BlackElk is either being deceitful, or he is ignorant of the budget/earmarking process. Either way, I would not pay him much attention.
