BlueDevil.....you mention the "religious right"....do ya know Ron's position on abortion?
I do, and consider it a bit of a "red herring" in that it's almost expected given the man's profession, but also in that a presidents position on abortion is largely symbolic. An offered litmus test to the voters if you will. Roe v Wade isn't going anywhere, the religious right needs it as a motivator as much as the left wants it as a woman's freedom. Be that as it may, one doesn't have to sport any kind of religious affiliation to be uncomfortable with abortion. I would hope the women in my life wouldn't opt for that path, but should they be in that position and deem it necessary they're entitled to safe medical procedures just like the rest of us. Her body, her choice. Don't like abortions? Don't get one - it's that simple. The male who 'plowed the field' should really be the only other relevant voice in the affair, that's my one caveat.

Anyway, he isn't the ideal libertarian candidate, just better than the others in the mix. The GOP is rotten, with a few exceptions. I feel Paul is one of them.
I dunno, I'd like to believe that the last 7 years have been a wakeup call to everyone, but it seems I'm always being amazed by the short-term memories and political polarization of my fellow countrymen.


I'm sorry, I just have a hard time taking the "pro-life" movement seriously. If reducing abortions is their goal, fighting sex education and poverty assistance tooth and nail is a funny way to do it. And that's saying nothing of the same crowd being largely pro-war and pro-capital punishment. (Don't take that to mean I'm not pro-war, I believe war is a necessary evil. I'm just not pro-stupid war. I'm pro-security )
