Ron Paul...Ugh, will he ever grow up?

Quote from monty21:

A lot of people (younger electorate) like Ron Paul because of his social views... which allign better with a Democrat than with a Republican. Ron Paul is a libertarian so don't forget that. Financially, yes... Ron Paul and Obama could not be any further away. Socially on the other hand, they are very similar. Don't confuse yourself.

Yes, it does just show that a lot of voters are absolute ignorant morons. Ron Paul and Obama come from philosphies that are as far apart as you can get. One is for Liberty & honors individual natural God given rights & self determination, and the other is for a 'benevolent' Socialism controlled by the 'elites' who know whats best for all the easily manipulated peons. While they may appear to agree on some social points, that would be only a superficial similarity. They come from very different ways of looking at the world.

You should read up on Ron Paul's social views. Ron Paul is pro-life.

In an Oct. 27, 1999 speech to Congress, Ron Paul said:

“I am strongly pro-life. I think one of the most disastrous rulings of this century was Roe versus Wade. I do believe in the slippery slope theory. I believe that if people are careless and casual about life at the beginning of life, we will be careless and casual about life at the end. Abortion leads to euthanasia. I believe that.”

During a May 15, 2007, appearance on the Fox News talk show Hannity and Colmes, Ron Paul argued that his pro-life position was consistent with his libertarian values, asking, “If you can’t protect life then how can you protect liberty?” Additionally, Ron Paul said that since he believes libertarians support non-aggression, libertarians should oppose abortion because abortion is “an act of aggression” against a fetus.

At the GOP Values Voter Presidential Debate on Sep 17, 2007, Ron Paul was asked what he will do to restore legal protection to the unborn:

“As an O.B. doctor of thirty years, and having delivered 4,000 babies, I can assure you life begins at conception. I am legally responsible for the unborn, no matter what I do, so there’s a legal life there. The unborn has inheritance rights, and if there’s an injury or a killing, there is a legal entity. There is no doubt about it.”

Quote from a_person:

US Congress Condemns Violence Against Demonstrators in Iran...the 405 to 1 vote was the strongest expression of support yet from the U.S. Congress for demonstrators who have been protesting the result of Iran's disputed election that left President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in power.

The only vote against the resolution was cast by Representative Ron Paul, who although a Republican considers himself a political libertarian.

While condemning "attempts by foreign governments to suppress the democratic aspirations of their people," he said he admired President Obama's cautious approach to the situation in Iran, and said U.S. criticism of other countries was often "selective" when making a political point.

Ron Paul 's allegiance is to the USA. Do you want him to have his first allegiance to zionist criminal Israel?
 
Quote from zorro:

My god, that Ron Paul believes in America's Constitution! Now there's a bunch of unrealistic convictions.

Yes indeed. Nobody is going to win the Whitehouse without believing that the Constitution is a "living document" that needs to be "interpreted" according to "the current times" - meaning that it means something other than what it says.

nor should they. advancements in human knowledge require that things be interpeted according to current times. when cases come before the supreme court about the internet or genetics,two things the writers of the consititution had no concept of, how should they be decided when the constitution is silent on those issues?

LOL...

There are hundreds of social issues... thanks for writing 1. Confirmation bias at its best.

I think the more important aspect about social issues is that Paul reserves the rights of states to vote on them. He opposes the federal government from having jurisdiction over abortion as you stated or any other issues.

Traditional Republicans like Paul... yes. But there is too few of them unfortunately.

Most prominent Republicans support big government and expansion of federal powers. Bush is the #1 example. Don't believe their words... review their voting records.

The fact of the matter is that young voters did not vote for Ron Paul because his social views align more with the democrats.
