I just watched the movie "Bruno." It turns out that Ron Paul isn't a homosexual.

If Ron Paul had a serious shot at the presidency I'd consider voting for him. Although I doubt he'd be able to do much as prez. The majority of congress don't like his ideas and won't go along with the radical changes he has in mind.

Ron Paul is my hero.

He should be the president for a great country!

He brings about real change.

Why the Republicans have to fight amongst themselves? Paul will unite the GOP and bring about real sweeping change to the world!

Unfortunately, radical politicians like Paul will not fare well in the increasingly conservative slate in the GOP.

Ron Paul is anti-abortion. How cool is that? He wants women to be the brood mares for the human race.

At least this is much better than Sarah Palin's innocent comments that expose her inexperience.

I think that most of you just like Ron Paul because you find him sexy and you would very much like to bone him:

Oh get off of it, the abortion debate is a legitimate one, and I and many others view it as an act of violence.

If only Ron Paul was a bit younger I think he could of made a serious run in 2012.

But if he is pro free markets, then wouldn't he be in favor of a market for fetuses? Maybe he would like a cap on abortions, similar to the cap and trade for pollution. Only so many abortions would be permitted per year, and the right to an abortion would be determined by the free market auction price.

See Daniel Hannan for those of us in the UK.

I like Ron Paul. Go give 'em hell, Ron. :)

He'll be turning 75 this year. The Republicans have tended to field older candidates, from Romping Rabies through what's-his-name, Sarah Palin's better half...

You are making a failed analogy, and a grossly inhumane assumption at that. You're comparing a baby fetus to a market good, which is not only philosophically stupid, it's morally reprehensible, whether you believe in abortion or not. Don't make dumb comments like that.

Actually, some libertarians do believe in having markets for children.

So, even though pandabear is being a bit silly I think, I don't think one can berate him too much for what was said given that Ron Paul is also a libertarian.
