You want to limit a woman's right to choose, RP is indeed your man. His views on abortion line up with such sterling characters as Pat Roberson or James Dobson.
This is not about Ron Paul. This is the start of of change.

If they wanted off-shore drilling then go right ahead, I rather we remove our dependence on oil from foreign countries. So if that means we have to drill our coastline, then go ahead. To me cheaper gas is better than expensive gas.

I would think that would not be allowed.
They do it through negligence, over a quarter of a million gallons were spilled at Prudhoe Bay in 2006. The environmental track record of the oil industry is abysmal. The oil companies access, to sensitive areas, must be restricted.

Btw, did you also know RP would allow coal mining on federal lands?

If you don't care about the environment, vote for RP.

Okay...you convinced me. I will vote for RP because I don't care about the environment.
I just care about ending illegal immigration and taxes.

Upton, what's wrong with coal mining? Next you'll start saying you don't support nuclear power either.

I care more about supplying enough energy to warm the poor families during the winter. So excuse me if I vote for Ron Paul.

I think the poor families would feel good about themselves as they froze to death,knowing they didn't help hurt Mother Earth.

As a native Floridian, I understand your concern for the enviornment. I'm just curious though, where were all you tree huggers when every inch of marshland was being plowed over to accommedate a housing demand that didn't exist? What did exist was big politics allowing it to happen to scratch thier supporters backs. Since Ron Paul doesn't have big company lobbyist backing him, that won't be a concern. As far as I know he is the only one who won't have any backs to scratch. Educate me, which candidate do you believe is going to save the enviornment? I liked your posts much better when you talked about your pug. At least you had first hand information on that subject.

Coal mining, at the moment, is a necessary evil, but NOT on federal lands. Is nothing sacred anymore? Or are we to leave industry to rape the lands that should be passed on to our children?
