Wade overturned in favor of having abortion rights decided at the state level. He also is opposed to the federal courts legalizing same-sex marriages, instead, having it decided at the state level. If you\'re gay or a woman in a red state, you will be of the opinion that Ron Paul is interferring with your life. Very un-libertarian like. Ron Paul wants Roe v.

I read your blog about politics and wanted to let you know the candidate that fits YOUR criteria:

1) \”tell me what you are going to remove\”
2) \”Tell me how you are going to simplify the government\”

Two words: Ron Paul

He wants to remove the IRS, DOE, FEMA, DHS, NAFTA, WTO and all these useless organizations that do nothing but spend mucho dinero. (He said this on the Colbert Report: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ErBROBgERs)
He wants to limit big government and restore the Constitution and sovereignty of the American people.

How?

He voted against the Iraq War in 2002 unlike the rest of them and he is the only Rep. candidate that wants to end the Iraq War and bring our troops home. He\’s one of the only few candidates that\’s willing to complete the fencing of our borders to stop illegal immigration (we\’re over there fighting terrorism but the borders are wide open…hmm)

And guess what? He\’s the only candidate that voted against regulating the Internet. Now that should catch your attention.
He also placed 1st in five different state straw polls and finished 3rd here in Texas. He won 2 MSNBC Debate Polls and placed 2nd in FOX\’s debate poll: Good stuff!

Thank you very much for reading this. By the way, I think Stern should be hacked because he\’s muy estpido. :)

My every presidential year hope is that we elect a president from the party not in control of Congress. Our only hope is that Washington remains in a coma and is unable to pass any significant legislation, because inevitably everything they do pass is a disaster. Unfortunately, we are stuck with the reality that our best and brightest people are too bright to subject themselves to midget pay, conflict on a daily basis with idiots or mediocrities at all stages of government and, last but not least, the constant scrutiny of the media. In our puritannical USA only dull, follow the rules mediocrity is acceptable in public life. Boy, wouldn\'t we all be better off with a 5X married politician, with three girlfriends, no religious beliefs and a brain capable of understanding the issues of our times.
