Do you know how the electoral college works?

1.) Candidate A wins the popular vote in a state in November.

2.) Candidate A's party picks the electors who the meet in D.C. in December to elect the president.

3.) The electors can vote for whomever they want. They are not bound to Candidate A.

The popular vote for President in the general election is just a suggestion.

This is how the America system works.

The parties pick electors who are known to be loyal to the party, but there have been instances when individual electors voted for someone else.

The way that I read the RNC rules is that Rule 38 only applies to states that attempt to force a winner take all model -- which is only 14 states this year. Apparently the RNC council disagrees.

Maybe I misunderstood your post. Fibr Dog's post is literal and easily understandable. Then you make a point about Ron Paul supporters and even offer a hint.

Romney and Obama are baby-murdering politicians.

You think the majority of Paul supporters are pro-abortion?

You think today's social conservatism is actually conservative?

I have a hard time following you. I tend to think, speak and type literally, while you tend to post metaphorically. Example, "The way I see it.. it's foolish Ron Paul supporters like yourself who are the ones 'leaning forward' while the Obama left takes 'liberty' with your hind quarters."

Now, while cute and witty, that could have many different meanings. It's easier to follow a conversation if one simply says what one means and leaves the catchy metaphors out.

No, he did not.

Ron Paul on the subject of abortion:

Abortion causes inconsistent moral basis for value of life


In the 1960s when abortion was still illegal, I witnessed, as an OB/GYN resident, the abortion of a fetus that weighed approximately 2 pounds. It was placed in a bucket, crying and struggling to breathe, and the medical personnel pretended not to notice. Soon the crying stopped. This harrowing event forced me to think more seriously about this important issue. That same day in the OB suite, an early delivery occurred and the infant boy was only slightly larger than the one that was just aborted. But in this room everybody did everything conceivable to save this child's life. My conclusion that day was that we were overstepping the bounds of morality by picking and choosing who should live and who should die. There was no consistent moral basis to the value of life under these circumstances. Some people believe that being pro-choice is being on the side of freedom. I've never understood how killing a human being, albeit a small one in a special place, is portrayed as a precious right.

Straight from his website: "In 40 years of medical practice, I never once considered performing an abortion, nor did I ever find abortion necessary to save the life of a pregnant woman."

This latest claim is just an attempt to smear the one man who represents a threat to o'Bungler and your socialist utopian dreams.

Getting desperate, aren't you?

She doesn't care. As a typical left-wing loon, she thinks that once she makes the accusation, the damage is done. Of course, by virtue of the fact that she is a left-wing loon who is attacking the credibility of a man who has been rock-solid consistent for decades, her accusations are not only not taken seriously, but downright funny because they're so outlandish.

But that's how the lefty loons work- make an accusation, never offer a shred of concrete proof, and move on to the next accusation, while their target is trying to disprove the first accusation. In this way, they can shred a person with mere rumors.

It's a typical game for them.

Leftist Disinfo Tactic #4. Use a straw man.
Find or create a seeming element of your opponent’s argument which you can easily knock down to make yourself look good and the opponent to look bad. Either make up an issue you may safely imply exists based on your interpretation of the opponent/opponent arguments/situation, or select the weakest aspect of the weakest charges. Amplify their significance and destroy them in a way which appears to debunk all the charges, real and fabricated alike, while actually avoiding discussion of the real issues.

I do not. I doubt that you have data to support your contention either.

I simply use logic. If Paul = anti-abortion then logic would dictate that the majority of his supporters would be anti-abortion.

People who pay enough attention to support a politician tend to agree with his views. Of course, there are always exceptions to rules.

As a big government Republican who has his tongue up the ass of Washington DC you wouldn't know the first thing about social conservatism. You are not a conservative, you are a neoconservative which isn't conservative at all.

As for Obama taking our liberty, he is doing exactly what Ron Paul supporters said the Democrats would do when Bush and the Republican party first began building the police state infrastructure you champion - expanding on it. And when/if your socialist buddy Mitt wins he'll expand it even more.

Either way, you're getting exactly what you want - a government to take care of you, control your life, and eventually put liberty-minded people like me in prison. That's gotta give you a real woody comrade.

Ron Paul's anti-abortion is rock solid. When the faux anti-abortion Republican party had complete control of the federal government, Paul was the ONLY PERSON to propose anti-abortion legislation.

Therefore, if pro-abortionists are voting for Ron Paul they are doing so knowing his stance on the issue. That being the case, your comment is moot.

Hello Dog. I voted for Ron Paul in the primaries.

I don't think Ron Paul is strong enough against abortion. If abortion is murder and that is my position. Why isn't he in favor (like Rand Paul is) of a constitutional amendment banning abortion?

I understand his state rights argument. But when you amend the constitution states rights doesn't come into play for you are changing the constitution. To change the constitution to outlaw murder seems like a no brainer to me. Why doesn't Ron Paul support a constitutional amendment to ban murder and Rand does? That is why Rand Paul is more appealing then Ron Paul. On many issues.

No it isn't.

There are nay number of areas where Ron Paul's position doesn't square with anti-abortion lobby.

For example in 1999 and again in 2005 Ron Paul voted against making it a federal crime to transport a minor across state lines to have an abortion.

In 2003 Ron Paul voted NO on forbidding human cloning for reproduction and medical research (HR534)

In 2004 Ron Paul voted NO on making it a crime to harm a fetus during another crime. (HR 1997)

I'm sure Ron Paul had good libertarian reasons for voting that way, but it makes him less than "rock solid" on the issue.

What I am saying. Is that during time when they were child bearing age. The baby boom generation was the most pro choice. Maybe so many of them had abortions they now feel guilty. Hence your above chart.

You could be right.

My observation was simply that the young college aged Ron Paul supporters are more likely than not to be pro-choice, and that Fibber Dog should think *twice* before making the assumption Ron Paul draws large numbers of social conservatives.

I don't think your chart factors in Ron Paul. Say your chart is accurate. That doesn't mean the Ron Paul supporters are pro abortion. The people I know who support Ron Paul are against abortion. Admittedly a short list I have.

I don't think Ron Paul is strong enough against abortion. If abortion is murder and that is my position. Why isn't he in favor (like Rand Paul is) of a constitutional amendment banning abortion?

I understand his state rights argument. But when you amend the constitution states rights doesn't come into play for you are changing the constitution. To change the constitution to outlaw murder seems like a no brainer to me. Why doesn't Ron Paul support a constitutional amendment to ban murder and Rand does? That is why Rand Paul is more appealing then Ron Paul. On many issues.

Dr. Paul has stated that he believes that regulation of medical decisions about maternal or fetal health is "best handled at the state level".

However, with the Sanctity of Life Act that he and other real pro-life politicians (as opposed to those who don't give a damn about the issue and use it to manipulate the gullible) you do not need a constitutional amendment to outlaw the murder of an unborn child. To do that all that Congress has to do is "define human life and legal personhood (specifically, natural personhood) as beginning at conception "without regard to race, sex, age, health, defect, or condition of dependency."

That quote comes directly from the Sanctity of Life legislation that real pro-life politicians have been trying to get passed since before Ron Paul was in office. Once an unborn child is given the same status as you or I then they are protected by the same laws as you or I. No constitutional amendment needed. But that would also take away an us vs them issue which draws a lot of people to the Republican Party.

In addition, the Sanctity of Life bill would have "recognized that each state has authority to protect the lives of unborn children residing in the jurisdiction of that state." In other words, the states would be able to handle the issue just like they do any other murder case if they so choose.

Also, "The Act would have amended the federal judicial code to remove Supreme Court and district court jurisdiction to review cases arising out of any statute, ordinance, rule, regulation, or practice, or any act interpreting such a measure, on the grounds that such measure: (1) protects the rights of human persons between conception and birth; or (2) prohibits, limits, or regulates the performance of abortions or the provision of public funds, facilities, personnel, or other assistance for abortions"

Had the Republican Party voted on and passed this legislation when they had 100% control of the federal government rather than sitting on it and not allowing it to even be voted on in committee, there would be no abortions in this country today.

That is why we say he is weak on abortion. Why would someone let murder be lawful in any state.

Are some states free to ignore the second amendment?

Dr. Paul loves life and babies. He spent most his life delivering them.

Come talk to me when your party actually does something more than just talk about the abortion issue. Maybe you can detail to us the actions your party of big government took to stop abortion when they had complete control of the federal government.

Your party has done zero, nada, zilth about abortion and yet Ron Paul is weak on the issue? LOL! They had complete control of the federal government. Where was their proposal to amend the constitution to prohibit abortion?

It seems to me that you folks in the hard core anti-abortion crowd are the ones demanding the big government solutions. Ron Paul certainly isn't.

The best example I can give you is Congress meddling in the Terri Schiavo case, which the anti-abortion crowd supported fervently.

Frankly..you sound more like a big government butt-licker than I do.

First off it is not my party. Secondly they didn't do enough. Thirdly they did ban partial birth abortion. Fourthly they did eliminate stem cell research with aborted babies. That isn't enough. But the democrats go far in the opposite direction. If you think both parties are equivalent on this issue you are not thinking clearly.

Because Ron Paul is weak on the issue. Doesn't mean the Republicans are strong the issue. What makes you think that?

I find the killing of the Unborn to be between the conscience of the person killing the "unborn" and God. Anything else is your own sentence.
