Personally, I think you ought to name names or STFU.

Thanks Petronski...

Sorry, there is no rule on stating a theory, especially if it makes sense. I will say whatever I please. This isn’t DU yet. Quit your whining.

Pray for W and Our Troops

Well, you would be the second one I suspect. How is the DNC, anyway??

You won't find it in the Constitution, though.

But since all other rights rely on the right to life, I believe it should be. I'm sure our framers never imagined that the right to life wouldn't be inherent and understood by all.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

since you are the one claiming that Paul opposes all federal legislation on abortion

I never claimed that, I was always aware of those votes by Dr. Paul.

and yet are now admitting that he supported federal legislation on abortion.

More words in my mouth. Immerse yourself in federalism sometime. Paul's abortion stance is the same as all of the other candidates besides Rudy.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

You're nothing more than a hanger-on who thinks he's popular just because he hangs out with a popular group of kids.

You are, indeed, your screenname.

[MEGoody]

Are you denying that John Kerry said almost the same thing Paul was quoted as saying?

Yes.

LOL Okay. I'll leave you to your delusions.

[MEGoody]

Good point. I may need to use that with one of my co-workers. Do you have a citation?

Citation for what specifically? That the constitution doesn't contain earmarks, or that Ronnie asked for earmarks?

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

EEE: The idea of merely returning the abortion question to the states will guarantee the institutionalization of abortion for many years to come.

Brush up on your history skills in addition to your English and grammar skills. Abortion was regulated by the states prior to Roe vs Wade. Overturning Roe vs Wade would send the decision back to the states so it can be duked out locally instead of federally.

Not that Paul has the slightest chance of nomination by any real political party, but he would nominate what to the SCOTUS??? Libertoonian moonbats??? People who spend their waking hours in pseudo-"constitutionalist" contortions???

Well, it's moot anyway since Paul ain't going to win, right? Hypothetically if he were elected, Paul would nominate constitutionalists to the bench.

Fred Thompson and Duncan Hunter and Tom Tancredo would not waste time looking for libertoonian crazies but would nominate SCOTUS justices in the mode of Scalia or Thomas or Roberts or Alito.

So would Dr. Paul. Good grief, have you even looked at Paul's positions outside of his foreign policy? He runs rings around the other GOP candidates.

When Roe is no more, then we go for federal personhood, hopefully in the same decision after about two more SCOTUS appointments.

You overturn Roe FIRST then you go for the Constitutional Amendment. Do you know how long it will take to pass a Constitutional Amendment? Do you think CA or NY or IL will ratify it? Send the decision back to the states and you'll save more babies in the interim than farting around trying to amend the Constitution as more babies die on the vine. Use your head.

On abortion as on war, paleoPaulie is a gutless two-faced do nothing wimp. He will never be acceptable as a GOP nominee for POTUS.

You are completely smoking crack if you believe Dr. Paul is pro-abortion. The man delivered over 4,000 babies. Well, I guess they were those toy babies that single first-time mothers use then.

[MEGoody]

So you lifted a John F'n Kerry quote and matched it with a quote from Paul, and concluded that Dr. Paul is pro-abortion?

Please copy and paste where I ever said "and that means Ronnie is pro-abortion".

Irrelevant what Kerry said.

If it is so irrelevant, then why are you wasting so much time going on about it?

[Petronski]

You’re a coward.

Problem is there are many European and Asian countries who also view past U.S. foriegn policy negatively and they are not engaged in a global domination schemes or trying to destroy the United States as a result of our poor policies of the past. Your argument (or rather Paul’s) is a red herring at best; at worse it’s sedition. There is zero justification for the actions of these Islamo-facists who are bent on total world domination and Ru Paul’s approach on geopolitical issues would destroy democracy on Earth were he elected.

[George W. Bush]

How does the constitution stand on shrimp subsidies, trolley subsidies for Galveston, bus subsidies for Galveston and other paleoPaulie earmarks of note???

Why don't you show us any of Ron Paul's earmarks that passed committee, passed the House and made it through conference and were funded?

Oh, that's right. You can't.

Exactly. Look at Japan. We nuked it and have kept bases there since the war. No more attacks, and a fairly good relationship now.

[383rr]

Agreed. See tagline.

[OCCASparky]

Once again, you fail to grasp the obvious. They hate us already, and no matter what we do that fact ain’t gonna change. Best to clear out the riff-raff and other threats to our well-being, and convince the rest of the world it’s in their best interests to play ball—or they’ll get the bat shoved up their ***es.

[OCCASparky]

but when a true constitutionalist

As has been noted before, it's amazing how little some of these so-called "Constitutionalist" candidates really KNOW about the Constitution.

And as someone else wisely noted, Ron Paul is to Constitutionalism what Fred Phelps is to Christianity.

[OCCASparky]

but the only things that I associate with them is "Get US out of the UN" and "Impeach Earl Warren."I agree with both.

Uh, dude--Earl Warren is DEAD. Kinda pointless now, don't you think?

[SoldierDad]

Germany too.
