>> Nutjobstands on the same stage to tell Evangicals he does not support an abortion amendment even though nutjob is pro life. <<

Sounds like nutjob has the same position on abortion as Mike Dukakis, Walter Mondale, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton and Al Gore.

>> Nutjob stands alone on the same stage and says he will not vote to prevent cable televison from having pornographic progams for adults. <<

Nutjob may be opposed to cable regulation, but cable is regulated. Permitting porn on cable, when cable is a government-protected monopoly in most areas, on libertarian grounds is as sensible as being anti-slavery, but supporting the right of slave-owners to kill uppity slaves on the grounds that they have the right to do what they want with their own property. This is exactly the kind of issue that exposes Ron Paul for being a contemptible fool. Once government control over the cable industry is ended, we can argue about whether pornography constitutes protected speech. Until then, the issue is whether government should continue to support porn.

Nutjob seems to have this wierd idea that because he’s a US Congressman, the Constitution places limits on what issues he is and isn’t authorized to legislate in that capacity. If we can run him out of office we can discourage any of the rest of them from getting that idea.
