I am also pro-choice, but honestly waht do you expect? The man delivered over a thousand babies! He has a record of not being a hipocrit, and him speaking publicly that his personal views of being pro-choice would not make him change abortion laws which is what he has always clearly stated that things like that the fed should not infringe on. There are countless economists who have spoken about the Gold standard being far superior, sounds like you have been watching to much CNN. I guess we just differ in opinions PFB, I just cannot imagine less taxes, smaller government and more civil liberty to be a bad thing and I dont see any candidate right now in support of all those things other then Ron Paul. The best you can do is come up that he has taken money from the shrimpboat industry, how about naming some of the other candidates backers?! The last thing im worried about is that hes backed by the stinkin SHRIMPBOAT industry, comon man! The Shrimping industry here has been going down for years and he has always fought for the industry so people would stop buying the cheap-stuff from the other asian countries, I cant and wont blame him for that.
