Ron Paul: A Conservative Study in Contrasts
The Politico ^ | April 18, 2007 | Josh Kraushaar

Excerpt: The candidate is one of the most outspoken defenders of gun rights in Congress and has never voted for a bill restricting gun ownership. He thinks this week's tragedy at Virginia Tech could have been prevented if the university allowed students and professors to carry concealed weapons. "People are a little more cautious if somebody might have a gun there. A concealed gun carried by a responsible person, that might have ended the problem that they had at Virginia Tech, with one person being killed, or two people being killed," he said. Another signature Paul proposal is support for the elimination of income taxes. His campaign slogan in congressional elections has been "The Taxpayer's Best Friend." "I don't think we need an income tax," Paul said. "I promised my people I would do anything and everything I can to get rid of the income tax, to repeal the 16th Amendment, never vote to raise taxes and always vote to lower taxes. And it's been a popular position."

That is true as to women and innocent unborn life. As to war and military matters, I suffer a permanent overdose of the antiwar movement of the 1960s-1970s and of paleoism as well, having taken a two hour a week, two year course in paleoism, masquerading as "real American history" at Rockford Institute.

Here's to beautiful women and innocent unborn life! Whatever our disagreements, may God bless you and yours!

"Does boodgems not like it when others construct words far more accurate?"

I rather like your use of those invented nicknames.

We disagree on only Ron Paul's motivation for his votes.

So VOTE for him! Send regular donations to his campaign, no matter how small!

The “Money System” counts on you taking *yourself* out of play by convincing yourself that all is lost, all is futile.

I say support Ron and stick a sharp stick in the eye of THE MONEY SYSTEM.

Then perhaps *real* Republicans should stop sending boatloads of our tax dollars to support our enemies.
