Ceestyle and other Paul haters. Just read the thread. I would implore you to read RP's new book. Not because I expect to sway your opinion to vote for him, but rather to gain an understanding of why he believes what he does, backed with research. It's short, if you are a slow reader, and it is very well written.
As far as the abortion issue, you are saying that you don't like a man because he believes based on his scientific and religious views that abortion is wrong, and yet he is willing to admit that the constitution givens the US gov no right to regulate it. I mean come on this guy should be your best ally on that issue. Why doesn't he believe the dept of education should exist? One the constitution doesn't provide for it, two because like every other gov run institution it is extremely inefficient. Check out how many school administrators it takes to run the NYC school system, then look at the catholic schools and how many they have. It is embarrasing. Obviously you were educated in a public school, based soully on your understanding of the civil war (mine you can tell from the poor spelling), perhaps read the People's History of the Civil War, it is available at your local library. Lincoln did not come to free the slaves he came to collect on debts owed (if we are not care China might do the same to us, yeah laugh, and then learn history it has happened over and over again) Not to mention that the history we are told to swallow doesn't require you to learn anything about the Native American's and their genocide, no really you can look up learning requirements by grade k-12. The requirements can all be stated in a 2 minute speech, which I have done before.
Now to further your understanding you should start at the begging of the book (The Revolution). This is where we learn how f***ed up our current gov is. Basically to make a long story short, your income is not yours. The gov takes what it demands and if you don't pay their demands they come for everything you own. Doesn't it seemed f***ed up to you that because I don't want to fund a housing project or contribute to gov aid to Africa (which messes up their economies) that the gov can come and take what I own (these being some of the most reasonable things our tax dollars fund). So why would I want to add to more inefficient programs that are basically contributing to the gov holding me up at gun point??????
It doesn't sound like you have ventured into his monetary policy beliefs, this is the next to last chapter, perhaps if you were to only read 1 chapter this should be it. I know this is a lot to ask, but hey maybe it will even help you refine your arguments. No one else is talking about it, and few have a better understanding of it. McCain looks F*c*ing dumbfounded by Paul's monetary statements during the debates. Haven't heard Obama talk about it either, it is too much of a real issue, at least he is for getting out of Iraq.
By the way I have figured out the liberal media's obsession with McCain during the early primaries. It geinous actually, get the dumbest most Bush like Rep selected. This way come november we will definately elect a Dem President.
My rant is over for the moment. Let me know if you need clarification on anything.
Peace
