Two good articles on whether healthcare is a right and whether it's moral to take from some to give to others. http://www.objectivistcenter.org/cth--1297-Right_To_Health_Care.aspx http://www.objectivistcenter.org/showcontent.aspx?ct=14&h=53 Wait times will increase. Canada has wait problems...

QFT The truth is the campaign needs to reach the lowest common denominator, if we are to have any chance of success. They are not doing a very good job of that, especially RP himself. IMO, RP needs to be able to articulate his positions and intentions more succinctly. IMO, he tends to lose...

Socialism is not compatible with personal freedom because it imposes economic rights or a right to goods. Under any kind of socalism, freedoms must be taken from some and given to others. Take socialized healthcare for instance: "An alleged “right” to health care, like all other economic...

1) The main reasons given for going to war in the first place were proven to be false. Saddam was not stockpiling WMDs and Saddam was not harboring/aiding al-Qaeda. Both the 9/11 Commission report and the subsequent Senate intelligence report confirm this. Also, the current administration went...

Receipts for fiscal year 2007 were $2,407 billion. FY2007 on-budget receipts were $1,798 billion. FY2007 off-budget receipts were $608 billion. Off-budget receipts include Social Security and Medicare payroll taxes, as well as the net profit or loss of the U.S. Postal Service. $1,163 billion -...

Thanks for marginlizing Ron Paul, Newsweek . . . you're pathetic! Maybe Newsweek isn't aware that Ron Paul’s presidential campaign exceeding its original 4th qtr goal of $12 million by over 50 percent when it raised nearly $20 million. This is likely more than any other Republican candidate in...

No. I think he would address it once with conviction and then he would let it go. IMO, repeatedly responding to the same claim when it's been addressed previously only gives people the impression that you are trying too hard or not confident in your previous statements. It also rewards the...

+1 Dr. Paul has made it obvious that he is not a racist before. He's also made it clear numerous times that he's for equal rights for ALL individuals. A short statement from the campaign should be sufficient for this idiot's article. Trying too hard to defend yourself from the SAME bogus...

I concur, it was a great interview. Did anyone else think the audience was dumbstuck when Dr. Paul talked about monetary policy and its effect on the dollar? There was silence and no positive response. Yet, they cheered for the simple concepts he mentioned like ending the War to spend more...

You can also go negative. Unlike RP, Huckabee has some serious moral and ethical concerns: http://www.usatoday.com/news/politics/election2008/2007-12-10-huckabee-pardons_N.htm http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2007/12/04/documents-expose-huckabee_n_75362.html...

I've taken a multipronged approach to this issue before and I think my argument has been very effective. -------------------- 1) The main reasons given for going to war in the first place were proven to be false. Saddam was not stockpiling WMDs and Saddam was not harboring/aiding al-Qaeda...

I thought this was common knowledge. These great videos illustrate his deceptions perfectly: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ioy90nF2anI&feature=related http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=583_1197919653 He just did it again a few days ago: http://thinkprogress.org/2008/01/04/mccain-100-years/
