[La Lioness Priyanka]

:wtf:

[QueenOfCalifornia]

1. Stupid idiots

Does anyone look beyond Paul's stance on the war? Do people really want privatized everything and no public beaches?

I may have to post this over in the GDP as a rant.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

2. i thought about posting it in gdp.

but it seemed like a lot of effort

[QueenOfCalifornia]

10. I just asked, over there....

5. Isn't he also a civil libertarian?

I guess I never thought of the privatization aspect of his libertarianism. I was thinking about the civil aspects. I figured the signs I've seen around here are from repugs.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

7. he is anti choice, anti gay rights. i think his stance on health care and education

are scary too.

[Connonym]

8. wow, I figured he'd be the opposite

I guess I don't know squat about his positions so I need to stfu

[La Lioness Priyanka]

9. dont worry about it, i think from the republican side, guiliani would be least offensive

but thats just me

[QueenOfCalifornia]

11. He is another OBGYN

who is all crazy over a blastocyst and then wants the actual, living children to figure out how to go to a private school for their education.

15. who needs private school when you can homeschool?

My commitment to ensuring home schooling remains a practical alternative for American families is unmatched by any Presidential candidate.

Returning control of education to parents is the centerpiece of my education agenda. As President I will advance tax credits through the Family Education Freedom Act, which reduces taxes to make it easier for parents to home school by allowing them to devote more of their own funds to their children's education.

I am committed to guaranteeing parity for home school diplomas and advancing equal scholarship consideration for students entering college from a home school environment.

We must have permanency in the Department of Defense Home School Tier 1 Pilot Program, providing recruitment status parity for home school graduates. I will use my authority to prevent the Department of Education from regulating home school activities.

I will veto any legislation that creates national standards or national testing for home school parents or students. I also believe that, as long as No Child Left Behind remains law, it must include the protections for home schoolers included in sec. 9506 (enshrining home schoolers’ rights) and 9527 (guaranteeing no national curriculum).

Federal monies must never be used to undermine the rights of homeschooling parents. I will use the bully pulpit of the Presidency to encourage a culture of educational freedom throughout the nation.

3. I've noticed that with lawn signs here

I don't think I've seen signs for anyone but Ron Paul. All things considered, if we have to have one of them as president I think we could do worse than him but please gods don't let it come to that

[La Lioness Priyanka]

4. actually we cant do much worse than ron paul.

he's a nut job.

[Rambis]

6. Tancredo goose stepping down broadway?

Seig Heil!

[unpossibles]

12. he is pretty popular in Orlando, FL too

based on the supporters I saw down there. Then again, that city is yuppie hell so it did not really surprise me.

What's sad is, as much as I don't support Paul, he's less scary to me than Romney or Thompson.

[nickgutierrez]

13. Yeah, Ron Paul, that's a great idea.

An Enron every week, and The Jungle in your grocery stores. Vote Ron Paul.

Ugh.

[Deep13]

14. People want a change.

RP is a huge change.

[Pool Hall Ace]

16. I see Ron Paul signs all over Raleigh.

Not in anybody's yard yet, but along the roadsides.

[redqueen]

17. I hope he runs as a third party candidate.

That guy is a first-class wackadoo... but he would suck the anti-choice votes from under the GOP nominee... unless it's romney. In which case... well... a third-party candidate wouldn't really be necessary for them to do horribly in the GE.

[edbermac]

18. Did they look like this?

19. Ron Paul '08 signs are proliferating here in Puyallup like some kind

of horrible, ineradicable infectious disease. The Kool-Aid drinkers have been working overtime to get them in front of every pair of eyes in the region. Maybe a nuclear holocaust will save us from the horror...
