Right on. I cannot stand any more of these Paulies calling me a commie because I don't think my goverment should be dismantled. And denying evolution should disqualify you from the human race, not to mention a presidential election.

Good call on that edit, man.

Seriously.

nice try ftR.

you can not alienate the pumpkin eaters and get elected president.

Maybe they mistook it for this campaign:

I like a lot of his policies, I won't deny that. but I admit I didn't finish reading everything that was linked from this article before replying.

still, I don't think that video, which seems to be missing a section in which he appeared to be about to clarify a point, clearly illustrates his "religious fanaticism." nor do I think that not believing in evolution or believing that abortion is wrong makes anyone a nutcase, regardless of what I may or may not believe, myself.

I like how this Youtube footage is edited..

And, I believe he is trying to explain that while he may not believe in evolution that it is an inappropriate question for the President?

So, regardless if religion is a vital part of this man... at least he realizes religion isn't a part of his political surge. I feel less threatened by this man's religion than I do Romney or Huckabee.

Just a thought since the majority of members on this site are anti-Ron Paul

since I genuinely DIDN'T pay attention in history class, would you mind giving an example or two? I see a lot of Paul hate on this forum, but I don't often see anything substantial. just a lot of photoshop macros and "he's a looney! look and see how looney he is!"

specifically, as long as we're talking about it, I've always interpreted his stance on abortion as personally against with a strong belief that the final legislative decision should belong to the state and not the federal government. which on the face of it seems positive to me. so what am I missing?

If you believe the right to choice is a right, a state shouldn't be allowed to override it. Not complicated.

I'm also guessing you missed where he compared abortion to mass murder.

Why?

you're right about that, and thank you. I agree. but I do see where it might be complicated for people who believe that abortion is impinging on the human rights of the unborn and how that might be a matter for the courts to decide... and better at the state level than at the federal where it affects everyone in one sweep.

still, that's important to consider. so again, thank you.

Look here, for one. Face it, if you actually read between the lines and saw past his "good intentions," you'll realize he's fruitier and nuttier than chimp shit.

Are you serious are we all still so attached to evolution? It just can't exist. Life cannot be simplified. If a single celled organism evolved into an animal, it would have to start as a fully formed animal. It can't evolve the lungs now the heart later, and so on. It goes multi celled organism straight to an animal. Fossil records don't show any creature that connects one animal to another. We should see thousands and thousands of evolving animals that show the long process of one animal becoming another. Nobody has ever observed any macro evolution. Not to mention all the evidence that points at our earth being so much younger then evolution needs to take place like fresh unfossilized dinosaur bones
