About an hour ago Norma McCorvey, a.k.a "Jane Roe" from the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, formally endorsed Ron Paul at the Phoenix Park hotel in Washington. Why didn't she endorse a frontrunner like Mike Huckabee? Thank the grassroots: She saw a newspaper ad in Nevada, bought by Paul supporters, using the analogy of the frog and the pot of boiling water to demonstrate what was happening to America. "It touched my heart." That was three weeks ago, and McCorvey keynoted a pro-life Paul rally in Nevada on January 12th, but the campaign made the official announcement today before Paul spoke at the March for Life.
McCorvey:
I support Ron Paul for president because we share the same goal, that of overturning Roe v Wade. Ron Paul doesn’t just talk about being pro-life, he acts on it. His voting record truly is impeccable and he undoubtedly understands our constitutional republic and the inalienable right to life for all. Ron Paul is the prime author of H.R. 300, which would negate the effect of Roe v. Wade. As the signor of the affidavit that legalized abortion 35 years ago I appreciate Ron Paul’s action to restore protection for the unborn. Ron Paul has also authored H.R. 1094 in Congress, which seeks to define life as beginning at conception. He has never wavered on the issue of being pro-life and has a voting record to prove it. He understands the importance of civil liberties for all, including the unborn.

All the things I claimed were true.
All the things you said were true were not.
But I’m the dope-smoker?
I’m the kook?
Very funny.
No no, see, we are only supposed to complain about those things when the Democrats are ‘running the show’.
Republicans need to send this guy back to the Libertarian compost pile, forthwith.
If anyone deserves to be sent to the compose pile, it is Mitt “socialized medicine” Romney.
Let me clear up something here, without lending my support to any particular candidate.
Ron Paul has never done drugs. Just because you have the freedom to do something doesn’t mean you’re obligated to do it, nor even that you think it’s a good idea. Do you drink yourself to death just because it’s legal to do so? No, you use your own gray matter and your judgment. It’s our common sense and obedience to God that tells us not to abuse drugs. We don’t need the government telling us how to treat our own bodies.
Every single democrat candidate truly supports “socialized medicine”. If you haven’t been listening, and your post is proof positive, Mitt believes that insurance should be provided by private insurance companies in contrast to the dems wanting government to be the supplier, and that is a huge difference.
SWAT teams breaking into houses based on anonymous tips from informants, shooting the dog, and giving Grandma a heart attack?
Yeah ... RIGHT ... lay off the DOPE!
You are very misinformed.
If you are right, which you are not, then I'm a man without a party.
Ron Paul is the A.N.S.W.E.R.
If parents are breaking the law and smoking DOPE, you bet I don’t want them as “parents” and someone to look UP to!
If for no other reason but smoking dope. Perhaps you are afraid they could be a better parent than yourself.
He’s a godless, paranoid LIBERAL playing on your imaginary fears. Ron Paul is NUTS!!!!
Perhaps only a true nut would recognize that.
Fredom is force, and force is freedom eh? Been there, done that. I remember well that Hillary (much like Mitt) said that health care should be provided by "voluntary" and competitive health alliances. There is no difference. Mitt will throw you in jail for not purchasing "insurance" just as fast as Hillary.
Paul is a grade A, USDA certified wacko, but I’d vote for him over McCain in a New York minute.
Romney- eh, I haven’t decided yet.
Have a nice isolated life dreaming of Ron Paul in the WH smoking his DOPE.
LIBERTY and JUSTICE for all. Recognize that line?
***Paul is a grade A, USDA certified wacko, but I’d vote for him over McCain in a New ***
I can live with your answer. I could never vote for McCain nor Huck or Rudy. The last two will be out very shortly.
Maybe he’s figuered out somehting you haven’t. Continuing to spend billions on something that isn’t working is a sign of mental illness.
I’ve been wrong before.
I can relate with you about being without a party.
I, like many others had no candidate to support in 92 and 96.
I campaigned for GHW in 88. Great time at the RNC in NOLA. However, I did zero for him in 92 because of his betrayal to the Party.
Dole, nice guy, but come on.
There is no way I can support McCain, Giuliani or Huck.
Tancredo, Hunter, Thompson are out. When Paul goes, I am out. So I will be joining you as a man with no party.
Is it 2012 yet?
nmh= numb mindless hubris

Voted for him twice. Hence, why I will no longer vote the lesser of two evils.
Who is out there worth voting for now? Duncan is out, Fred is out. I find Paul very appealing VS Mitt Romney given the alternatives of Mike “Metamucill” Huckabee and Mcinsane...
