    do you honestly believe it would be different here?

    same "Christian" hypocrisy is prevalent here...I see too much of it.

    Those are actual quotes? Good lord, the man is delusional, and his supporters ignoring those statements are right there with him. Incredible.

    RP's stance on Church and State is his biggest wart, imo.

    It's clear that he chooses to go buffet style/selective memory Libertarian on this topic.

    OMG. Ron Paul will just TRAMPLE your civil liberties. He is known for that.

    Obama / war on drugs / perpetual wars / NDAA / Assassination of 16 year-old citizens etc. etc. is SO MUCH BETTER! I'M NOT DELUSIONAL! I DON'T IGNORE NUTHIN!

    What is really disturbing is the inability of Ron supporters to understand that his form of "government" would permit trampling your civil liberties standard operating procedure with no recourse for remedy.

    And this says, what? Nothing, although the post could be from a 16 year old.

    Proven record? Ron's would be a short list.

    Can you provide a list of any legislation that Ron has sponsored that has become law?

    No, I can't list any laws that Ron Paul sponsored that destroyed civil liberties like Obama's.

    If I'm correct that quote actually has to do with public welfare. He was talking about why Churches do not pay taxes, and that is because the original intent was their importance in providing goods and services to the poor.

    I didn't think so...

    With these new laws you should be careful what you type or the Ministry of Truth may come knocking.

    What civil liberties has Obama's agenda taken from you? Have you been barred from eating at Tookies?

    Romney: "I get speaker’s fees from time to time, but not very much."

    Fact: Romney made $374,327.62 in speaker’s fees, at an average of $41,592 per speech last year.

    For each speech, he essentially makes twice the poverty level for a family of four and all his speeches brought in more than 5 times what the average PhD makes and places him well within the upper 5%. Yet, to him, it is "not very much."

    I'm more convinced than ever that Obama is running for Congress in 2012 as he already has a second presidential term secured.

    context is like common sense in politics and religion, it doesn't exist.

    I haven't chimed in yet on the debates from last night, but all I got to say is Im very proud of what Ron Paul had to say. And it made me sick to my stomach hearing all the "Christians" there cheering for a quote like "they are our enemies... KILL THEM!"

    Ron Paul speaking to those people is like teaching first graders rocket science.
