quote:
ORIGINAL: rachel529 kittin, you dont know ron paul. he hates abortion, yes. but he believes like a high school civics class. the federal government should provide a stable border, stable currency, and national defense. thats it. by this, he favors decriminalization of gay marriage, drugs, abortions, everything not related to those three simple rules. he wanted to put the onus of responsability on individual state governments. i think its a great idea, kinda what was intended when the country was founded. of course, he stood no chance of being elected. if he had a chance, he would certainly have been killed. That's just wrong. Ron Paul has repeatedly introduced federal legislation that would have criminalized accidental miscarriage and made all abortion first degree murder and force all states to treat it as such. The supposed lover of the Constitution even included unconstitutional, and frankly repugnant, language saying that the courts wouldn't have been allowed to even review the law. His views of environmental regulation and enforcement are similiarly awful. He favors eliminating all environmental regulation and relying on state civil torts to protect the environment. The man is a nut at best and a crypto fascist at worst.
