If I find out that he voted against the personal bankruptcy bill, the DMCA, and several other onerous corporate assaults on fair law, then I'll consider him.

SIGNYM - I'm so sorry to hear about the brain surgery, no matter how "small" it was. I hope your SO pulls through it okay. I spent so much time in hospitals for my brother when I was a kid that it was like a second home for me there for a while. His was massive brain trauma and it took years for him to recover, and though he'll never be 100%, it's not outwardly noticable with the casual eye and he will be able to take care of himself without Government aid. A blood vessel in his head popped and the blood was squishing his brain inside his skull, causing him to suffer multiple strokes at 6 years old. He was 10 minutes away from death when the doctors operated on him. There's know way of knowing for sure, but my father believes that my mother's bulemia may have been part of the problem. He was born nearly 3 months premature.

Now, about Ron Paul, you and Fredgiblet bring up some valid points and I would like to address and discuss them when I have more time myself. I will be looking into Ron's views on the Bankruptcy bill and the DCMA. Everything that I've ever read about him would lead me to believe that he's 100% against both of them.

FREDGIBLET - Like I said, you have some good points... I'll get to them later this week.

KANEMAN - Thanks for summing up those talking points. I just really can't see how any other Repug could win the primaries. It's very exciting, to say the least. Maybe there will be enough Repug support behind him to prevent Socialists/Communists such as Hillary or Obama to sit at the throne in 2008. And maybe he'll be able to bring back at least a sliver of respect for the Repugs, by the people.

Does he appeal to the Religious Right?

I don't see why not. He does seem to separate religion from politics a little more than Bush....

And I love this little ditty on Hate crime laws...

"Hate crime laws not only violate the First Amendment, they also violate the Tenth Amendment. Under the United States Constitution, there are only three federal crimes: piracy, treason, and counterfeiting. All other criminal matters are left to the individual states. Any federal legislation dealing with criminal matters not related to these three issues usurps state authority over criminal law and takes a step toward turning the states into mere administrative units of the federal government."

I mean I could be in a lot of trouble.........Well, I don't really give a shit....

That would seem to make him lose support from the RR...

I think the consensus of the GOP is that they have to go back to their roots......small gov....and freedom.

I was thinking more about the cost of healthcare and I thought of another place where the rising costs come from, litigation. We are a much more litigious society now then in years past and with the rise of complex procedures to cure difficult problems there are more opportunities for mistakes to happen as well. Litigation costs money for the doctors and hospitals, and if the doctor loses then they also have to pay the settlement which increases the cost of their malpractice insurance.
