Do you support the murder of unborn children? If so, that's quite pathetic. That you'd scorn someone for being pro-LIFE speaks to a debased way of thinking.

I don't agree with Santorum's foreign policy views, but who could be against pro-Life positions? Sheesh.

What makes Santorum a "nut" religiously?

I disagree with Santorum's foreign policy views, but why would you attack the man for being unashamedly Christian?

You support fiat money that is inflationary?

You support the government telling private businesses how to run their business?

You're for greater government involvement?

Ron Paul is true to the Constitution, what is supposed to be the law of the land. Have some respect, would you.

I dont know why they want to fight with Iran, they would fit right in there.
What is fundamentalist about being a war hawk? I don't see any connection.

Obama would win neither. You don't realize how socially conservative these states are.

Unfortunately those of us who want a Constitutional Conservative are pretty much without a party. Not quite liberitarian, not evangelical though people of faith, and for Constitutionally small federal government.
It sounds like the Constitution Party.

Ron Paul is not a social liberal. His votes relate to his beliefs that the federal government doesn't have a right to get involved in some affairs, as they relate to the Constitution. The states and local governments are to take up those issues.

Many perceive his constitutional stance as an indication that he is liberal. It's simply a misunderstanding of where he is coming from, considering that today's politicians are so far removed from the founding document that they claim to uphold.

What do you think our system of government's laws are influenced by? Shintoism?

You are either very naive, or you want the destruction of America. Which is it? Those are the only two choices.

There is about 40% or less (depending on which poll you look at) of ignorant Americans that still support Obama and the Democrats.

Oh, wait... I just figured it out; they are either teachers, or work for the government. Really the same thing, either way. They both live off the rest of us.
What do you have against teachers who put in long days and work feverishly to educate children? Without them, where do you think this country would be?

It'd be nice if education could be completely a private sector thing, but you ought to know that many people would be unable to pay for the tuition.

I'm all for the abolishment of the U.S. department of education. The states and local governments pay most of the educational costs anyhow. That's completely constitutional.
