Nobody that's running is "better" (and he is not best...) But this interview does point out, to me, a valid reason not to vote for him....


Every time it seems I've found one that I should favor somebody comes along and washes the off the paint to reveal what is beneath. Thank you! It isn't Mar 6 yet and I continue to consider if I will vote in the primary or not. Plus this from Dennis posts above has been troubling me since I looked at it months ago...
Voted NO on barring transporting minors to get an abortion. (Jun 1999) - I just reviewed the law (PDF) and he should have favored this as (1) a Christian (2) a conservative.

Absolutely, Dave. That is one of the reasons that, at this point, we are voting for NG. I know people will say aauugghhh, and that he is a Catholic, former whoremonger, yada, yada. He has admitted his wrongs, and so we go from there. I don't like that he isn't as conservative as we'd like, but, truthfully, neither was Ronald Reagan. And NG did work with RR to bring about good change in the '80's.

The biggest problem with Paul is that people believe he is strictly constitutional. But I do believe he overinterprets it. An example is the vote you referenced. He should have emphasized that it is in the purview of the parents if the person is a minor, and so there should be a law against it to protect parental rights. Of course, by the same token, the feds don't have any business in it unless it's across state lines...

The other three are just big government more-of-the-same guys. You can always find a few reasons to note vote for anyone, but with these three there's dozens of reasons to not vote for them.

No doubt with Mitt, Newt or Rick we will see the government, and America, continue on the wrong path.

Will any of these do anything to rid the country of the unconstitutional agencies, programs and departments put in place by FDR, LBJ, and others?

Currently, mandatory spending, which is likely 100% unconstitutional, accounts for over half of each years budget increases. Who will put forth a plan to phase these out?

I remember that story!!!

No doubt, which is why it's important and necessary to elect those who actually believe in following the Constitution to every level of government.

That said, even if a president tried to do things right and his own party wouldn't help him, he could still do a lot and make it difficult or impossible for the congress to make things any worse.

That's better than a president who is willing to work with congress to continue the bad things and make them worse.
