I am sort of a Ron Paul fan, mainly because he is so anti-establishment and is upsetting the Neo-Cons so much, but probably would not vote for him. I think he is dead wrong about what we should do about Iran. I generally agree we don't need to be world policeman and stick our noses in everyones business, but Iran has threatened us and our allies, and is on the verge of developing nuclear materials that I have no doubt they would willingly pass on to terrorist groups. I would support going to war with Iran, if only Bush had left us with an army with which to fight.
Most of Paul's other views I am in agreement with, though I don't think they are very practical at this point, and could probably never be implemented. Most of his views about government are simply not something the average American would accept, and his views, if implemented, would probably cause massive civil unrest.
Finally I wold like to make a comment on this statement:
Sorry folks, no matter your own morality the gov't should stay out of women's wombs.
If you think abortion is murder, then you are compelled to want it outlawed, unless of course you think the government should not outlaw murder at all. Personally, I think a baby is a baby no matter which side of the vagina it is on. A newborn is just as dependent on its mother as a 3 month old fetus. From a logical standpoint, if you accept abortion, then you should also accept infanticide and murder of children up to the point at which they could forage around and take care of themselves (maybe around six years old).
I am not trying to change anyone's mind. I am just saying it is inconsistent to support abortion but not infanticide. I am also not trying to convince anyone abortion is murder, just trying to explain why anti-abortion people have no moral and logical choice but to want it outlawed.
Finally, the best approach on the abortion issue is to allow it to be handled by the states, and get the federal government completely out of it. If abortion should be regulated, it should be regulated at the state level.
