Was Ron Paul's presidential campaign a success?

[Phony Moderate]

No.

Ron Paul is noth more than a Christian Fascist. He voted for the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act, supports DADT and the DOMA, voted for a ban on Gay Adoptions in DC, authored the Sanctity of Life Act (which dictates each state's right to choose when human life begins, i thought he was for state's right?).

He also met up with Don Black, the former leader (or whatever they call it) of the KKK, and they had a couple of photos taken together. He also wrote outrageous things about black people, homosexuals, etc in several of his newsletters. He claims he didn't write them, but if he didn't he should have done something after the first outrageous comments were written.

I support abortion on the basis of the fundamental libertarian principle of self-ownership: I own my body; hence I am free to dispose of it as I will. There is no legitimate grounding in libertarian philosophy for opposing the right to choose. Can someone 'compromise' on it? Certainly. And that person is not a libertarian.

I love it when the average internet joe tries to zealously define libertarianism in his eyes and claim that everyone else is wrong and not a libertarian.

 Try this: one of the most agreed upon principles of libertarianism is that you do not bring about pre-emptive violence.  So, by killing a person when he/she is still inside of the mother's womb, you are commiting an aggresive act of interventionist violence to terminate a life.  That personally doesn't sound like a very libertarian idea to me, but I'll digress.

And you have to intervene to stop the mother from killing the "person". It isn't a person anyway. Abortion is no different from smashing an egg.

So, when exactly does "it" become a person?  Does it magically become a person when it pops out of the mother's womb?  An unborn has a heartbeat and brain activity within weeks after conception and by the time of delivery in the hospital room, it is a complete human package. 

Which is useless to society.

I'd rather that eating eggs was banned than abortion, because the last time i checked, the chicken doesn't start wars, and pollute the world. Now you are probably going to say something like " the chicken doesn't do anything for society either". Well what does the human do for society? All the human does is fight amongst other members of it's species, and seek to create a better life for it's species.

Liberal/Communist/Marxist/Socialist/Anti-Christ/Anti-God/Anti-Religion rant over.

Ah, you socialists really do wish the human race would cease to exist, don't you?  Humans are human, sometimes they choose right, sometimes they choose wrong.  Why always see the glass half empty?  Just curious, did you know that Dennis Kucinich, despite now being effectively pro-choice, is one of the most anti-abortion politicians in America?

Abortion is not the most important issue to me, and the fact that he's pro-choice now makes him good enough for me.
