Ron Paul's first principles, what a great speech Nice find!

[CreepersWiener]

Key word: "Young"


Bachmann, Perry, and Romney tend to capture the older voters (can't remember those statistics in the fora are located).

Then we must kill all the old people IMMEDIATELY!

Oh yeah and Ron Paul won California straw poll with over 40% of the vote.

Moral of the story: Ron Paul fans vote in straw polls in September in non-election years.

eh, if there's one thing i think paul's doing wrong, it's trumpeting his stance on abortion. lots of libertarians or socially liberal conservatives will think he's a pro-life fundamentalist and not vote for him. besides, isn't his position (correct me if i'm wrong) to let the states decide whether to outlaw abortion? so he would allow abortion as the u.s. president. kind of misleading.

he is pro-life. what he is saying is he will not let his stance on the issue interfere with the states rights to choose for themselves. I think a bigger problem for him is selling his libertarian stances to republicans. This helps if you ask me.

it does help in that respect.

but people look for reasons NOT to vote for candidates.

pro-lifers will dislike the fact that he won't allow the federal government to ban abortion

and pro-choicers will dislike the fact that he will allow states to ban abortion

I understand 100%. I myself am somewhere in the middle in abortion, but the issue hardly registers for me as far as my vote. I think the fiscal crisis and coming crises are all encompassing and priority #1. I am willing to put all other issues aside because I dont think Cain or Romeny or Perry would do a single thing to address this issue unless they were absolutely forced to.

Ron Paul is the only one I can truly trust, and in this day and age that says a lot. I too wish he would worry at least a little bit about the things you brought to the forefront, but if he started doing that then he wouldn't be Ron Paul.

It's interesting to note how people have been culturally conditioned into expecting the president to be the only one to delineate the laws of this country. Of course, the president frames the laws through legislation, yet the people still think that the framing should be decided by one one person--and not the Senate, Congress, or even their own States' legislatures.

when did i ever say that?

the president has more power over potential legislation than probably any other person. that's a fact.

I'm just commenting on the general lameness of the US voting market.

I like his name. It's simple so it should appeal to Americans in general. Never seen the guy but I'm guessing he's in his late 50's or early 60's, has gray hair, doesn't like taxes and is a bit deluded. Meaning he's a valid candidate. Go America Go America Go America .

I feel so inspired!!! Let's start the revolution!!!!!!! I was wrong about his age. He looks more like 80 than 60 but otherwise I think I was spot on.
