[QUOTE=PvtCupcakes;33537509]His only redeeming quality is that he wants to end the wars. Other than that he's pro-life, anti-gay, wants to return to the gold standard which would ruin the economy, and he wants to gut the federal government.[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure paul stated that he would make no laws prohibiting people from having abortions or same-sex marriage. [quote]Paul calls himself "strongly pro-life"[205] and "an unshakable foe of abortion".[206] However, he believes regulation of medical decisions about maternal or fetal health is "best handled at the state level".[207][208][209] He believes that, for the most part, states should retain jurisdiction, in accordance with the U.S. Constitution.[/quote] [quote]Paul has said that recognizing same-sex marriage at the federal level would be "an act of social engineering profoundly hostile to liberty".[196] Paul stated, "Americans understandably fear that if gay marriage is legalized in one state, all other states will be forced to accept such marriages."[197] He says that in a best case scenario, governments would enforce contracts and grant divorces but otherwise have no say in marriage.[198] Paul has also stated he doesn't want to interfere in the free association of two individuals in a social, sexual, and religious sense.[199][200] Additionally, when asked if he was supportive of gay marriage Paul responded "I am supportive of all voluntary associations and people can call it whatever they want."[199][/quote] That's better than what most GOP candidates would do.

I wouldn't vote for Cain regardless, due to his proposed "9-9-9" plan. Like other politicians who try to introduce new policies, he doesn't think about the consequences of his proposed actions, which would be devastating if passed.
[QUOTE=asteroidrules;33547783]You can tell when you're seriously paranoid when you think being granted rights is part of a scheme to control you.[/QUOTE] The thing is, he thinks states have the right to deny certain rights, so making them unable to deny those rights is denying them their rights. And it [I]would[/I] be a scheme to control them. Just a wholly justified one because being worried about not having the right to oppress homosexuals is batshit insane.

Jolly good show.
As I've said before: Paul could be a good a good politician if his views weren't all over the fucking place. There's not many people who can strongly agree with him on one thing without strongly disagreeing on another, and if you're a moderate then he's got nothing at all to offer to you. It usually only works out if someone feels so strongly about one thing that they can ignore everything else. And if that's the case there are much better choices out there. Well that and the people who value "honesty" over everything else.
