Paul called it a “losing position”
What ever Paul says,
What ever Paul does,
Where ever Paul is standing...
is a “Loosing Position”.
Then why did he vote against the bill which would prohibit transportation of minors across state lines for the purpose of abortions without parental consent.
does he think the GOP will win without the social conservative vote?
That's just damage control. The fact is that Paul hates social conservatism.
Maybe so, but he’s right on this one. Santorum is too easily drawn into these religious/social discussions and it’s going to kill us if he’s our candidate. The other candidates have the sense to call this crap for what it is—media manipulation. But Santorum takes the bait. The Obama media would love for nothing more than to turn this into a birth control/women in the workplace/church and state election to deflect from Obama’s disasterous economic policies. Paul may be a nut, but he’s right on this one.
Avoiding So-Con issues like Dr. Nutjob suggests WILL KILL OUR CHANCES.

Can’t top that post....nuff said.
Ron Paul should be personally well versed in what it takes to be a (perennial) loser.

Now that would not characterize his position. He would argue that it would be a STATES ISSUE because he trust the states to handle this situation better than the Federal government.
But I AM EQUALLY PASSIONATE in my rejection of goverment meddling and intrusion on personal freedoms. I think there are a lot of Americans like that. They want the freedom to behave morally and they want liberty from oppressive, punitive government.
Where do I fit in the "conservative" picture? I hate oppressive punitive government as much as I hate abortion and the gay agenda. The way I see it, we're NEVER going to resolve those social issues until we restore limited government. Think about all the social decay in our America --
- abortion, Roe v Wade...
- open homosexuality in our churches, our schools, our military, our workplaces, our civic groups, and our communities......
- a slothful, avaricious population that lives off of Government charity, from food stamps to welfare...
...... THIS MALAISE that we Social Conservatives passionately reject, has been created, fed, and grown by our oppressive, punitive Federal government.
Because that government is punitive, we are HANDCUFFED and unable to lawfully, peacefully reject open homosexuality in our societies, workplaces, clubs, schools, etc. We are forced to standby as abortion is made accessible and legal on demand. We are PREVENTED from having any say over how our charity is distributed, and CHARITYY is a major and crucial part of Christian morality. Our oppressive government has removed charity from us as a tool.
Our oppressive, punitive government has been a MAJOR cause of the social ills we so passionately reject.
America needs a Republican president who is as outspoken and dedicated to the cause of dismantling oppressive, punitive government, as he is to shunning abortion and the gay agenda.
A president who moralizes can only moralize. A president who sets to work with the stated goal of dismantling oppressive government, including activist judges, is the one who will help restore morality to the U.S.
Godspeed Newt Gingrich.
From your keyboard to God's eyes!
Godspeed Newt.
Of all people, Ron Paul should not care about whether "social issues" (false trichotomy) are a "winning issue". The truth is the only thing that matters. Santorum has made many mistakes that trouble me. He has supported a lot of indefensible spending and I'm not sure he hates covetousness as much as Ron Paul, but I don't think he could kill a baby.
If Newt is the nominee, Obama will find an excuse not to debate. Mr. Gingrich needs to show that he can win / rise in the polls on other strengths besides debating.

The man has no true conception of God-given, unalienable rights.
Back on Dec. 19, Paul signed the “Personhood Pledge” published by PersonhoodUSA. This pledge says in part: “I stand with President Ronald Reagan in supporting ‘the unalienable personhood of every American, from the moment of conception until natural death,’ and with the Republican Party platform in affirming that I ‘support a human life amendment to the Constitution, and endorse legislation to make clear that the 14th Amendment protections apply to unborn children.”
Obviously Ron Paul doesn't see that as a state's rights issue.
