I'm completely happy with Paul highlighting the media's hypocrisy for the world to see.

It may or may not benefit Rand Paul's campaign, but it will in the end help bring down the US news media and its role are political kingmaker. The more average people are made aware of MSM games the better, and they notice confrontation.

I don’t think I even pinged you on Rand Paul. How could I be saying you’re wrong on Rand Paul?

Do you believe them regarding their plank on abortion, but even your own write-up says they have been RILOM pro-life (rape,incest, life of mother) for a long time?

Your arguing with me on this thread is about you defending Paul on his abortion position, against me trying to expose it, you even went so far as to make false claims about the GOP and it’s long time abortion position, in an attempt to make it sound like Rand Paul’s.

You say that wagglebee helped make you more pro-life, it seems to be an ongoing effort of some of us here.

I am not defending Paul’s position. There are zero posts where you can demonstrate that. I’m analyzing Paul’s position. Somehow you are mistaking the two.

If we have a scale of 10 with one being “full blown abortion on demand” and 10 being “no abortion ever for any reason”, then Debbie Wasserman Schultz is apparently a 1 and Mother Theresa was a 10.

Where does “life of mother only” fall? I’d say about a 9.

Where does RILOM pro-life fall?

I’d say about 6 or 7. It’s more than halfway, so 6 or 7.

Where does Romney’s ‘health of mother’ fall. Being kind, I’d give it about a 2.

Where does Rand Paul “I’m generally pro-life...life of mother but all these medical weeds to wade through” fall? I think he’s above a 5. It’s probably about a 6.

Month, after month, after month, after month, after month, after month, of you “not” defending Rand Paul on abortion, and doing it with passion and dedication, on thread after thread, after thread.

I hope you don’t start “analyzing” Jeb Bush on immigration, or Mitt Romney on guns, or Chris Christie on abortion.

You are fantasizing things, ansel. First, I’m a fairly solid Cruz supporter. Sent him a decent chunk of money at his rollout. If Cruz drops out an endorses another, then I’ll pick up another candidate.

I keep thinking our last discussion was about Walker, but if you say it was Paul, then so be it. In any case, Paul is only about 5th or so on my list right now. I think he’s better than Romney from last election. Did you end up voting for Romney? I did. Benghazi changed my mind.

It is always about Paul, going back well into 2014.

I don’t get what your deal is about looking for ways to keep people from nailing Paul on abortion.

Here’s a link to a post I wrote a couple days ago:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3277159/posts?page=31#31

I’d say he’s about the same as Romney though he would try to claim otherwise.

As xzins pointed out earlier, libertarians HATE to be asked about abortion, they know they can’t get conservative votes if they tell the truth and they lose the stoner crowd if they lie.

I can proudly say that I was never fooled by Rand Paul, but I know A LOT of great FReepers who were.

I have become convinced that the GOP isn’t pro-life and probably never was. There are obviously many Republicans who are, but at a party level the GOP is pro-choice. Most Republicans who say they are pro-life are actually as hypocritical as the Democrats who say they are church-going Christians.

I think you can’t find a thing that shows me defending abortion. You can’t find a thing on this thread where I’ve said that Paul is other than a supporter of some kind of lower-level pro-life. I do not think he’s full blown pro-choice. He’s stuck in some medical weeds over ‘life of the mother’ and what it actually means with specific medical conditions.

Where does that say I support abortion? It doesn’t. It does say that Paul makes some kind of medical, life of mother, exception for abortion. He does. So did every other candidate the republicans have run since Ronald Reagan.

This is hopeless, for at least 7 months we have tried to educate you on Paul and abortion, and get you off of defending him, and for 7 months you argue all day for him, and claim all day, that you aren’t doing it.

It’s hopeless because I’m not defending Paul on abortion.

But...whatever. Knock yourself out.

I have been for at least 7 months, and you always keep “analyzing” his pro-choice positions and with great passion and persistence, ready to meet any challenge of him being accurately described as being pro-choice.

Even to the point of trying to mislead on the history of the GOP platform and abortion.

Xzins has NEVER defended ANYONE for being pro-abortion.

I personally exchange posts and FReepmails with xzins on an almost daily basis and I have NEVER seen this. I know that he was mildly impressed with Rand when he first ran for Senate, I told him that Rand was going to turn out just like his father and I was right.

For a long time now I've gone after ANYBODY who is pro-abortion or an abortion apologist. Everybody knows I do this, anti-FReepers have dedicated entire threads to bashing me and I can say with absolute conviction that xzins is pro-life and doesn't defend anyone who isn't.

Reagan won many a vote that way.

However, if you can’t stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen.
