Pro-Life Leader Endorses Ron Paul

Ron Paul 2008 ^ | May 10, 2007

[The Pack Knight]

Perhaps Ron Paul is a Constitutionalist Republican, not a libertarian as many suppose. Not a libertine.

He ran for President on the Libertarian ticket in 1988. He remains closely allied with the Libertarian Party, and has not formally renounced his membership in that party. He addressed their national convention as late as 2004.

The primary two issues he differs from the official LP platform on are abortion and illegal immigration. I believe his position on abortion is a more intellectually honest one than the LP position, as the LP seeks to ignore the rights of the fetus without asserting that the fetus is not a human being. He generally agrees with the LP platform on most other issues.

For these reasons I can support Paul regardless of his Libertarian ties. Given how the GOP has supported planned parenthood with our tax dollars and supported amnesty for illegal aliens in many ways, I can also support Paul regardless of his Republican ties. He has a transpartisan appeal that can win if his campaign markets it properly.

He’s a Truther

Sad to say, but I concur. I've long respected him as a man of principle, and am sympathetic to a great many of his positions. However, his opposition to the war in Iraq has seemed to progress beyond his non-interventionist principles and into moonbat anti-American conspiracy theory.

By allowing himself to become an ideological fellow traveler to this country's enemies, he's lost much of the respect I had for him previously.

While I respect the principles of Dr. Paul's supporters, my own principles dictate that I work vigorously to keep him out of the White House should it become apparent that he has a chance of winning.

He voted against things that would save the lives of unborn babies. His reasons are of no concern to me.

Must “Government” fund the Choices made by individuals?

If YOUR faith allows Abortion, don’t expect OUR government to fund it.

If YOUR faith bans Abortion, don’t expect OUR government to block the free flow of Information on getting one.

If your Faith calls Dogs or Pigs “un-clean”, don’t expect OUR Government to MANDATE your philosophy.

[Lexinom]

No, the government should not interfere with my right to own slaves. If YOU are against slavery, YOU don’t need to own them.

[California Patriot]

What a joke.

[TBP]

Ron Paul has been strongly pro-life all his career. He has taken flack from libertarians over it, even though I think his position is more in accord with libertarian principles than the predominant libertarian position is.

This is an interesting endorsement.

[California Patriot]

Not really. Clueless people can be expected to do clueless things.

[Lexinom]

Context, my FRiend, context.

This is the first time I have read Ron Paul was pro-life. He is probably “pro-life” the way Julie Annie is “pro-life” and that is not at all.

[Dead Corpse]

So you don't care about the FEdGov over extending it's authority? May I remind you that it was the SCOTUS, a department of the FedGov, over extending this authority that gave us Roe V Wade in the first place?

More of the same attitude out of government won't fix this...

[Dead Corpse]

He obviously knows more about the Constitution than you... The interstate commerce clause was never about "banning" anything between states, but allowing free trade between the states.

I suppose you are equally sanguine about the FedGov using the Interstate Commerce clause to prohibit certain classes of firearms as well? Or that the eminent domain rulings were just peachy as well?

Buy a clue...

If you're referring to Giuliani, there is a world of difference. Ron Paul opposes taxpayer-funded abortion. Giuliani supports taxpayer-funded abortion.

[Ditter]

He is a squirrel, always has been, always will be.

[Democratshavenobrains]

If Ron Paul has never tried to hoard pork, why does he keep getting re-elected? Are the people of his district just that noble and ungreedy? If so, I wish we could repeat it around the country.

[Ditter]

I don’t know, we moved out of his district about the time he first ran for office. Met him once and realized the man was a squirrel, never voted for him and never will.

[elizabetty]

So you don't care about the FEdGov over extending it's authority?

I can hold more than one thought in my head at once. Protecting the life of an unborn baby is more important to me.

[Dead Corpse]

Then Amend the Constitution. It really is that simple.

[lvmyfrdm]

You have to read Ron Pauls bills most often his voting no has more to do with the fact something isn’t constitutional, it could better be handled by the market, or it’s loaded with pork.

The fact that Ron Paul voted against a bill on its face tells us nothing. To post his bills and then try to make it look like he voted for or against something is misleading, if you read project freedom website you would better understand the reasoning behind this man that so many people love.

Ron Paul is going to surprise a lot of people because there are some that think he is just a libertarian and libertarians are a few crazies.

Ron Paul has earned much respect across the political lines and true Conservaties, Liberatrians, Democrats and Reformed Neo cons are behind the man and respect him.

Respect isn’t something you can attach to many in Wash. DC
