I would not wish to paint myself as so hopelessly credulous as to believe the protestations of ignorance...that said, I suppose I am doomed to wander upon the increasingly thin ice of suspended disbelief (ed note: points for heroic mixing of inconsistent metaphors...)

In reply to Ron Paul: "I didn't write the newsletters. I don't hold those views" I'm starting to really like this guy...

Just wandered on to this one again, and as far ad denying any responsibility, in order to accept that one really has to ignore that the offensive bits in the newsletters appeared repeatedly over a span of at least five years. There's only so much plausible deniability I'm willing to give him.

Thus, to me the only acceptable response was to repudiate and confess direct responsibility, if not authorship. I'm not talking about some hollow confession but one that shows he really has changed.

His views on reduced military presence are great, but they're just one part of a largely troubling candidate. I welcome his presence in Congress and would even be happy to see him as a the GOP nominee, as long as he doesn't actually win the White House itself. Obama also had many ideas that sounded good on paper, but once he got elected, they either got diluted or dismissed, as is always the case.

my glaucoma and cancer treatment for which I need to smoke a doob now and then?

And me for my blood pressure, but it's obtuse to make the comparison.

In reply to So no need to twist yourself

"Treatment" for pregnancy? Again, a funny (strange) euphemism.

Guess pointing out ironical or bizarre terms is a waste of time.

BTW, I can't go into a doctor and ask him to take off a leg, and so far doctors keep refusing my request to have bi-weekly trepanations and blood lettings. I'm getting tired of them stepping on my civil liberties, man. I call it hole-istic medicine. I demand treatment.

And did I mention my glaucoma and cancer treatment for which I need to smoke a doob now and then? Well forget that - just asking for a SWAT team to break down ye ol' front door.

I hear Kim Jong Il was good at treating life and inspiring/perspiring people to the state of adulation. If only I could be so well loved.

In reply to If I understand what PP is

So no need to twist yourself a pretzel defending what he wrote. He used the term Orwellian to be dismiss of the concept of Reproductive Freedom.

The fundamental principle of reproductive rights and supporting them means this: I have a right to discuss and receive advice and treatment from my physician, whatever that treatment may be, with out the government, or you, or Ron Paul supporting or not supporting my right to obtain that advice or treatment.

It should be known that there is no treatment available to men that is subject to legislative interference. What is discussed, your treatment plans stay between yourself and your physician. I get that same right.

Ahh the caveats, just cause he doesn't support late-term abortion doesn't mean he doesn't believe in Reproductive Freedom, sorry man, hate to tell you yes it does, because it means he is willing to limit my access to medical treatment. The procedures themselves (whether it is late term abortion, an early abortion, the availability of contraceptives or access to RU-486) should not be the issue for a real civil libertarian, because treatment plans are simply not-yours-or-anybodies-business. Right? If that right is fundamental for you as a man, it is for me too.
