Ron Paul NOT what Republicans need

Heh... Seriously, do you have anything besides your own wild accusations on this? Just repeating bullshit over and over again doesn't make it true.

You Paul zombies need to stop being so lazy. This is exactly how Obama was elected. He got a pass on his money. Hit the links and dig around. He also likes pork, which is not so bad, but the thing is, allot of the projects he got it for were never started. His contributes are big real estate and insurance companies. And his constituents in Texas City and La marque (Ware I live) are wondering why they still have blue tarps on there roofs after two plus years. Hell, why dont you go to his website and post this exchange and then post the response ? Maybe you will get one, most likely, you will not. Here, let me try for you since you Paul zombies wont put the cool aid down.

Mocking people isn't the way to get them to do what you want them to do, and mocking them while butchering the English language even less so.

Hey, I only give what I get. Don't take my word for it, ask Ron Paul, or a campaign lackey as Paul does not usually take questions from constituents that dont have money.

Ok... one. I don't think the military is an even decent analogy. Most people who enter the military do so for a minimum commitment. 4 years(I don't think there's any two year enlistments anymore). Yes... there are some that make a career out of it. But for most people, it's a starting point.. not a solution.

Well, we could work through other analogies, but the point remains. Just as business doesn't decide which products and services to offer based on the needs of its employees, government policy shouldn't be determined by the needs of our public servants. We should strive to treat them fairly, and live up to whatever commitments we've made, but if we can agree that a state agency or program isn't necessary - or worse yet is causing harm - it's idiotic to keep it running just to preserve jobs.

Let me rephrase the second part of my post. It's not that I don't want to hear the word Freedom... I just don't want to hear the word "Freedom" tossed around dogmatically without any examples and a realistic way to make it happen.

Fair enough. I agree.

Same with the Constitution. What if the Constitution said that poor people had to eat dogshit... I guess the "Conservatives" would be taking baggies full of Fido's droppings to the nearest homeless shelter(of course, they probably wouldn't be in existence either).

In other words... as fine a document as our Constitution is, It was written 250 years ago mostly by rich landowners... some of which had slaves. To sit there and say it's the end all be all and we need to repeal "Certain Amendments" is asinine. We grow as a country and the country's needs change. Therefore the document has to change with it. That's why it is called a "living, breathing" document.

First of all, I don't worship the founding fathers, or try to pretend that the Constitution was perfect in its original conception - far from it. But I do think the concept of constitutionally limited is vital to a free democracy.

I do, however, have an issue with the 'living document' doctrine in as much as it refers to the Supreme Court amending our constitution through precedent rather the prescribed amendment process. Convenient 'reinterpretation' to suit political ends subverts democracy. We can, and should, change the Constitution when necessary. but it should be done via real amendments, amendments that we all have a chance to weigh in on. Not by simply pretending the words magically changed meaning because we are in a different context.

Whistleblower protection can be VERY important. I wonder what he thinks about whistleblower proteciton in health care. General whistle blower statutes merely protect one from having to remain silent about illegal acts. However medical malpractice is a civil issue and not a criminal one unless the negligence rises to the level of criminal negligence. Therefore short of there being a crime in progress, medical providers carry a license to kill.
