Pander bear is out of its cage. Shall we next expect a canned pro-Israel speech, or would that be over the line for him . . . ?

Yeah but he’s a kook on foreign policy.
Look at our foreign policy with Mexico...It’s fantastic, and such a benefit to America. It just gets better all the time!

Pander Bear can find a side on this position to pander, err, I mean appeal, to all sides. For example:
Voted NO on restricting interstate transport of minors to get abortions. To prevent the transportation of minors in circumvention of certain laws relating to abortion, and for other purposes, including:
- Allowing for exemptions to the law if the life of the minor is in danger or if a court in the minor's home state waive the parental notification required by that state
- Allocating fines and/or up to one year imprisonment of those convicted of transporting a minor over state lines to have an abortion
- Penalizing doctors who knowingly perform an abortion procedure without obtaining reasonable proof that the notification provisions of the minor's home state have been satisfied
- Requiring abortion providers in states that do not have parental consent laws and who would be performing the procedure on a minor that resides in another state, to give at least a 24 hour notice to the parent or legal guardian
- Specifying that neither the minor nor her guardians may be prosecuted or sued for a violation of this act
Reference: Child Interstate Abortion Notification Act; Bill HR 748 ; vote number 2005-144 on Apr 27, 2005
Voted NO on making it a crime to harm a fetus during another crime.
Vote to pass a bill that would make it a criminal offense to harm or kill a fetus during the commission of a violent crime. The measure would set criminal penalties, the same as those that would apply if harm or death happened to the pregnant woman, for those who harm a fetus. It is not required that the individual have prior knowledge of the pregnancy or intent to harm the fetus. This bill prohibits the death penalty from being imposed for such an offense. The bill states that its provisions should not be interpreted to apply a woman's actions with respect to her pregnancy.
Reference: Unborn Victims of Violence Act; Bill HR 1997 ; vote number 2004-31 on Feb 26, 2004
Voted NO on forbidding human cloning for reproduction & medical research. Vote to pass a bill that would forbid human cloning and punish violators with up to 10 years in prison and fines of at least $1 million. The bill would ban human cloning, and any attempts at human cloning, for both reproductive purposes and medical research. Also forbidden is the importing of cloned embryos or products made from them.
Reference: Human Cloning Prohibition Act; Bill HR 534 ; vote number 2003-39 on Feb 27, 2003
Voted NO on federal crime to harm fetus while committing other crimes. Vote to pass a bill that would make it a federal crime to harm a fetus while committing any of 68 federal offenses or a crime under military law. Abortion doctors and women whose own actions harmed their fetuses would be exempt.
Reference: Bill sponsored by Graham, R-SC; Bill HR 503 ; vote number 2001-89 on Apr 26, 2001
Voted NO on barring transporting minors to get an abortion. The Child Custody Protection Act makes it a federal crime to transport a minor across state lines for the purpose of obtaining an abortion.
Reference: Bill sponsored by Ros-Lehtinen, R-FL; Bill HR 1218 ; vote number 1999-261 on Jun 30, 1999

Hmmm...would you say the same thing about Perry, Bachmann, or Palin? I’m not aware of a time that Paul spoke in favor of abortion.

Is 56% a bad rating compared to other candidates?

Bachman needs voice training . She has a bad octive when she projects. Someone needs to at least get a mixer plugged into her PA system. It is a little like the screech on the montage Laura Ingram plays on her show

Suddenly, the thread turns to other countries. What about them? Did he offer more support? Why not?
What a surprise.
Tens of millions Americans unemployed, millions of lost homes, lost businesses, lost investments, the country crawling with millions here illegally, choking off all services, healthcare, as were forced to subsidize these country killing policies, while our economy is on the eve of destruction, dollar becoming worthless, we're now broke, with the next 20 generations in debt multiple trillions, to Communist countries no less, the American united are becoming the divided thanks to a corrupt oligarchy government run by wealthy insiders, and the politically well connected, but we must be concerned with Israel, and every other country on earth.
