holy pirate hats!

wphelan matey, that sure is alot 'o reading. i was going through his carefully reasoned postion on abortion (i knows, i knows, 'tis a hot button topic, but its one that could potentially galvanize democrats and republicans alike).

whilst i meself sorta lean towards letting a woman have the choice o'er what she does with her body, i found his pro-life postion well thought out, and moreover, rooted very much in the constitution. i found it intresting how he often returned to the point 'o view that it is a state matter, also.

i really did like his way of looking at the illegal immigrant issue, and his insistence that, first and foremost, the borders be secured properly. he sounds very hard line, on this point, and i wonder what it would cost to truely secure our borders...it sounds like an undertaking that would cost alot 'o monies. i agree with his common-sense position on anchor babies also.

imma wading thru his thoughts on education, mate.

*sigh*

this is a bloody lot 'o reading, but imma still enjoying this link ya posted.

i find mr. paul kinda intresting, in at least one respect...

i look at him as kinda a "third party" candidate, though most 'o what ya linked seems to be in line with core conservative values from a slightly different era. mr paul, though, seems like an aberration, in that he'd be able to pull support from both dissatisfied democrats, and unhappy republicans. the votes that flow to him would not cripple one party or the other (am i mistaken here? thats my impression, mateys). 'least thats me impression after reading some responses here on USPOL.


aye, time to go to work now. avast!!!!

ps - one last question, mighty wphelan. while i'm kinda liking mr. paul more 'n more, as i read up on him, don't you agree that he has no chance of winning the nomination as the republican who will face mrs. clinton (or whoever)? if you had to go "all in" and bet the house, would not yer monies be very, very, very far from mr. paul?
