Elizabeth City is just south of here, an hours drive.

Also, Someone hanged a RON PAUL '08 banner on an overpass in Norfolk last week  !!  Hell yeah !!

Jewish people and Neocons and Oil companies hate that mofo  ......

Why would that be ?

The blimp is up to $280,000 raised of the ($400,000 needed)

And Ron Paul broke the single day fund raising record three days ago, raising 6.1 million dollars in 24 hours!  The other candidates who recieve the majority of their campaign contributions from #1 overall: Workers Unions, and #2 Corporations.  But Ron Paul is different.  On just his two biggest fund raising days, he's raised just under 10 million dollars from INDIVIDUALS!  80,000+ to be exact.

Just on the 16th, 30,000 of the donors were first time donors!  I guess people are realizing that Ron Paul is the only candidate who will get us out of Iraq and most of the other countries who don't want us there, and he's also the only one who will eliminate the deficit, start to pay down the debt, and address the concerns that a government is supposed to address.

Ron Paul, in my opinion, is in no way fit to be our President.  There are several reasons why he'd never get my vote:  1) his stance on how to deal with genocide in places such as Darfur, his noninterventionist ideas; 2) his vote for the Secure Fence Act of 2006; 3) his belief the 2nd Ammendment protects citizen's right to own and bear firearms; 4) and his pro-life stance -- and many others that I unfortunately do not have time to list right now. 

But, there are other positions that he's taken, like on Civil Liberties, that I do agree with him on...but there are too many areas that I think he's just wrong on that would keep me from ever voting for that guy.  He is a breath of fresh air, however, and I respect his willingness to stand up for his ideals and speak his mind.

1) his stance on how to deal with genocide in places such as Darfur, his noninterventionist ideas;

So are you also in favor of us having gone into and being in Iraq?  If no on Iraq and yes on Darfur, how do you draw the line?  And there's alot more genocide in the Congo than in Sudan....  North Korea's no picnic.... So where should our militarism end and allowing some genocide begin, or should we be every country's human rights police?


2) his vote for the Secure Fence Act of 2006

He voted for it?  Meh... Yea, he (like all political candidates) isn't perfect.  It does continue to shock me, the number of politicians who talk about the fence idea like it could possibly do anything.  Are they all insane?  Hundreds of miles of desert protected by a fence a $10 tin snip can cut a hole in?


3) his belief the 2nd Amendment protects citizen's right to own and bear firearms

Let's bypass this one as we've discussed it before and I don't think we'll make progress on it.


4) and his pro-life stance

Well, he is a doctor who has delivered 4,000 babies, so at least he comes from a first hand position to form an opinion I can respect, HOWEVER, he's not in favor of banning abortion, he just feels that the decision on something like abortion should be left to the states, as opposed to a decision made at the federal level.  He feels it should fall under the 'states rights' as laid out by the Constitution.  His interest is to return alot of the power to the states that has slowly been stolen away the federal government.

I agree with that logic, but I'm with you.  Making anything illegal doesn't stop it, it just makes it more dangerous.

----------------

He's not perfect, but who is.  He's the only candidate other than Gravel (and maybe Kucinich) who's showing his cards, telling it like it is, who isn't a puppet.  In addition, his entire political motivation is liberty as stated by the Constitution.
