Actually Ron Paul supports the end of Roe v Wade. Hysterical feminist get their "lady parts" in an uproar over people who want to end Roe v Wade but that just means he believes it should be a state matter, not a federal matter, as should most other things the federal government has taken on.

I think women should have the right to control their own body. I also think that the laws regarding abortion should be returned to the states. Power to the people, you know? I'd vote to keep abortion legal...simply because I want a smaller federal government doesn't mean I want to strip people of their rights. In fact, quite the opposite. Even in a state-centric government, laws must abide by the rule of law set by the constitution.

As to the civil war thing, wouldn't it have been better if there was a peaceful solution? If the confederates hadn't attacked fort Sumpter? A naive sentiment, maybe, but one has to hope war isn't always the answer.

After reading those links, I'm sure you're using "well researched" by a very loose definition...

It is not unconstitutional for the federal government (Congress) or other levels of government to pass product safety laws. I doubt any constitutionalist, libertarian, or Ron Paul supporter would argue against such laws.

However, some of those same people might very well argue that the now permanently established agencies like the FDA and FTC are inefficient in meeting their own goals and have, perhaps, in some ways, become self serving bureacracies, that need not be funded at their current levels.

Supporting a "smaller government" or more constitutionally alligned government is not synominous with "dismantling govenment" or corporately controlled anarchy.

Yes, "separate but equal" was struck down by the judicial branch of the federal goverment (The Supreme Court ruling in Brown v. Board of Education), and of course we are all glad they did. Such "federal intervention" is not at odds with the constitution and no one, including those in the Ron Paul camp, would argue against that type of "intervention".

As a strict constitutionalist, Ron Paul does not assert that the federal government should not act. The constitution lays out areas of responsiblilty in which the executive, legislative and judical branches must act.
What he does oppose is federal government intervention in the lives of private citizens or the affaris of other nations if the mandate for such actions is not called for in the constitution.

Stephanie, how can you read the list PhillyChief provided and still think that his personal beliefs will not affect the manner in which he will run the government?

you sir are a douchebag. You don't have to consider my views, I've posted plenty of other's well researched opinions for people to make up their own minds.

And based on your belief that any government, state or otherwise, should have the right to make decisions over a woman's own body I think you would be much happier in Iran than I would.

You can build me into a straw man all you want, but it doesn't change the fact that we would still be operating under "seperate but equal" if not for federal intervention. Or the fact that RP doesn't think we should have fought the civil war. You can find his bigoted statements all over the net.

I think the moral thing to do is to not take a woman's right to her own body. If you want to stretch that to mean all morality laws you are as big a lunatic as Ron Paul.

Keep spreading that FUD. I'm not talking about all sorts of decisions, I'm talking about unambiguous standards in science.

There you go, FSJ. Read a bunch of Marty's or Faddah's posts. They're quite enlightening. If you want the Feds "mandating" things like morality to you, go ahead and vote for someone like Romney or Clinton.

I'm sure they can come up with a government that would make all sorts of decisions for you. Sound ominous?

We need the federal government to enforce "morality laws?" Sounds to me like you would prefer to live in Iran...they have that there, you know?

Then why won't he release his previous writings from The Ron Paul Political Report? Sounds like he should have nothing to hide. . . .
