Defend the GOP!

PAUL FOR PORN:

Support his war on Faith??

 

Before you become so disgruntled with the GOP that you consider throwing away your vote on a third Party:

 

Ron Paul is the most likely person to break out as a third party candidate, despite saying otherwise, since he IS NOT a Republican. He is the most likely person to cause the GOP to lose!

 

I have some examples of who he is, from a credible source:

 

Abortion/ Right to Life:

  • Get the federal government out of abortion decision. (Nov 2007)
  • Not government's role to protect people like Terri Schiavo. (Sep 2007)
  • Voted NO on banning physician-assisted suicide. (Oct 1999)
  • Sanctity of Life Act: remove federal jurisdiction. (Sep 2007)
  • No experiments on frozen embryos. (Sep 2007) which I agree with, but why does he?

If you are okay with states allowing abortion, why are you against stem cell research??? I'm against it ON BABIES at all stages, unless they are UNINTENTIONALLY miscarried or stillborn. I am pro-life!

·  Rated 56% by the NRLC (Nat'l Right to Life Com.), indicating a mixed record on abortion. (Dec 2006)

Gay Marriage:

  • He is FOR gay marriage. 
  • Voted NO on Constitutionally defining marriage as one-man-one-woman. (Jul 2006)
  • Don't ask, don't tell is a decent policy for gays in army. (Jun 2007)
  • Protect all voluntary associations; don't define marriage. (Oct 2007)
  • No legislation to counteract the homosexual agenda. (Sep 2007)

Rated 38% by the HRC, indicating a mixed record on gay rights. (Dec 2006)

Affirmative Action/ Civil Rights:

 

Rated 39% by NAACP, indicating a mixed record on affirmative-action. (Dec 2006)

 

Rated 67% by the ACLU, indicating a mixed civil rights voting record. (Dec 2002)

Indecency:

 

  • Not appropriate to prosecute all illegal adult pornography. (Sep 2007)
  • Don't apply broadcast indecency rules to cable networks. (Sep 2007)
  • Voted NO on increasing fines for indecent broadcasting. (Feb 2005)

No wonder the local topless dancers came out in favor of Paul.

Crime:

 

 

Rated 11% by the NCJA, indicating a "soft-on-crime" stance. (Dec 2005):

  • Opposes the death penalty. (Jan 2007)
  • Voted YES on funding for alternative sentencing instead of more prisons. (Jun 2000)
  • Voted NO on more prosecution and sentencing for juvenile crime. (Jun 1999)
  • Voted NO on establishing nationwide AMBER alert system for missing kids. (Apr 2003)

EXCUSE ME? No need to help find missing kids, right? I can't even wrap my head around it. Maybe if he gets in office, John Walsh will take him out.

War, Trade and Domestic & Foreign Policy:

  • Stop interfering with Latin America; talk & trade instead. (Dec 2007) 
    (BASICALLY- let them send things in, WITHOUT imposing our restrictions)
  • Cut off all foreign aid to Israel
  • We don't need any troops abroad--they don't help our defense. (Dec 2007)
  • Bring all troops home from abroad & save $100B's every year. (Dec 2007)
  • 9/11 resulted from blasphemy of our bases in Saudi Arabia. (Dec 2007)
  • Suicide terrorism stops when we stop intervening abroad. (Dec 2007)
  • Preemptive war is against Christian doctrine of just war. (Sep 2007)
    Now he worries about Christian doctrine, to prove his own point. Use of the Bible: A rule not a tool !
  • No US role in autonomy for Christians in Iraq Nineveh region. (Sep 2007)
  • Pre-emptive war is not part of the American tradition. (Jun 2007)
    So, it is pre-emptive because? So, we weren't attacked? Not to mention, pre-emptive war has been nearly ALL of our wars, in recent history. Did Vietnam, or Germany ever come here and attack us? NO! BUT they were a threat to national security!
  •  Voted NO on deterring foreign arms transfers to China. (Jul 2005)
  • Voted NO on Permanent Normal Trade Relations with China. (May 2000)
    In other words, arm them and make them angry!

  • Voted NO on allowing school prayer during the War on Terror. (Nov 2001)
  • Inappropriate to impose sanctions for persecuting Christians. (Sep 2007)
    They are just Christians, after all, right?? Huh?

  • Voted NO on implementing US-Singapore free trade agreement. (Jul 2003)
  • Voted NO on implementing free trade agreement with Chile. (Jul 2003)
    I thought he said NO restrictions on IMPORT/EXPORT? Am I the only one confused?
  • Close departments of Energy, Education & Homeland Security. (May 2007)
    I guess we wouldn't need Homeland Security with him in office anyhow, since he seems to be an anti-war leftist.
  • End government secrecy; restore openness of information. (Aug 2007) Like we can all handle the truth??
  • Voted NO on campaign finance reform banning soft-money contributions. (Feb 2002)
  • Voted NO on requiring lobbyist disclosure of bundled donations. (May 2007)
    Oh! So he can get his campaign funds from whatever crooked source he wishes, but the government should disclose everything? And then kickbacks would be okay? Huh?
