yes but i did not say he was the only consistent one though, check your own statistics , im waitin on wikki, told you this, moving on. my point is the man is the most consistent one the republicans have and in greater comparison one of the most consistent ones left :)

Statistics or we must conclude that you're just making things up. "Waiting for Wikki" is not an answer, though I think it was one of Beckett's working titles for "Waiting for Godot."

And what does that even mean?

For example, I find both Sen. Sanders and Rep. Kunicich to be much more consistent in the idea of liberty in that they wish to protect the constitutional rights of women to have abortions and gays to marry all across this land. While, Paul abandons this principle to argue that states should have the right to enforce Christian morality on their populace.

You know that the President can't repeal the 14th and 17th amendments don't you?

You know that there is no way such a repeal will get through both houses of Congress and the State legislatures, inside 8 years of a Paul presidency, don't you?

So what's going to happen when President Paul proposes laws that the Congress can plainly see are counter to the current constitution?

Congress is going to laugh at him, that's what.

lolz , listen all i kno is there is a major political push for global carbon taxation and that in itself is enough for me to debate it, besides there are a wide variety of scientists who have dispute global warming in general as well , this whole belief that its an accepted phenomenon is political propaganda , one way or another


Well? Politics isn't a valid reason to eliminate claims of science.

If you are interested, look into the concern of the sequoia. They need a certain cool temperature (of course I forget) for seeds to take hold. A couple days ago I heard a couple rangers on the radio reporting they have noticed a drop off of new growth. The think we are in a period where we will see them die off due to warming. They hope the old big guys can hold out and they could recover.

There are other indicators but I will not take the thread on a tangent.

Yes, he does we have already brought up his "We the People Act" which directly allows state governments to pass laws regarding abortion, gay marriage, religious tests, and flag burning without any federal oversight. Therefore, this would directly allow states to enforce morality on the population while denying people the right to appeal to the federal protection in the constitution.

Ron Pauls foreign policy views alone warrant his credibility ,

You mean his support of the Afghanistan war(he voted for authorization), despite his constant whining about US involvement overseas? That is another are where he fails to be consistent.

Not even Ron Paul is a climate change denier. He think the government shouldn't do a damn thing about it (private property rights will fix it if it needs fixing, or some such balloon-juice) but at least he's not out in that camp of idiots who "dispute global warming".

It would be quite interesting to know what proportion of Ron Paul supporters also think the CIA did 9/11, contrails are an electrical mind-control grid operated by the government, the moon landings were faked, and climate change is a conspiracy of scientists to help governments reverse the industrial revolution.

So wait, what's wrong with the invasion into Afghanistan, again?

Al Qaeda crashed planes into towers. Afghanistan, run by the Taliban, harbors Al Qaeda and there training camps. So we should have done nothing but stick our thumbs up our bums?

I can see the case made for opposing Iraq (I did, too), but Afghanistan?

I am just countering the claim that his supporter repeatedly put out that he is some saint that is opposed to American involvement in foreign nations and drastically opposed to war. By showing that he diverts from this "consistent" stance in regards that he initially supported Afghanistan, thus any opposition to it now is a change of tune.

i.e. that his stance towards Afghanistan now is similar to Kerry's stance to Iraq in 2004.

no, you do,. for denying factual act and using diversive delusion to ignore the truth, your problem not mine . is what it is, Ron Paul to his credit however in terms of war has always voted for self defense,just not preemptive strike . very reasonable in my opinion


Sure, I really bet is only going to help Paul if he start going about how 9/11 was an inside job with America and Israel killing 3,000 American citizens. :roll:

Bomb the training camps, without asking the Taliban first.

It's what we're doing ten years later. Only now we're doing it in Pakistan.

It's a harder case to make yes. Paul deserves some credit for being opposed to the invasion of Iraq. Too few politicians were.

Wikki don't you know it is unfair to use the man's own legislation and positions as proof to demonstrate how he is wrong. Instead, you have to use poorly phrased sentences just going about how you are right, at least that is what Anti-Z tactic has been.
