RP ping
Ron Paul’s candidacy is good for the national debate. Let’s see how he does with the youth vote in the first primaries. It’s pretty clear the incumbent has lost it.
Someone remind me again why Ron Paul’s not a conservative? I’m wearing virtual flame retardant clothing against those who can’t tell rhetorical questions from actual ones. He has libertarian qualities, sure, and that’s what he’s usually classed as, but isn’t his attitude on foreign intervention the same or similar to Washington’s? Any differing policy after that is by definition also not conservative. And he’s very much pro-life, with his personal experience as an obstetrician and gynecologist to back it up. I’ve heard him called too queer-friendly, but need more details, which I’m sure someone will provide. Is his policy different from the Catholic Church’s one of hate the sin, love the sinner? Has he spoken on homosexual ‘marriage’?
I’d prefer his son Rand be running (that’s clear from my profile), but still don’t quite understand why there’s so much hostility to Ron Paul. I think the proverbial gunsights should be more squarely fixed in the direction of the enemy, the crypto-communist Democratic Party.
