The issue people voted on @ my caucus.

It's sad.

Abortion is the #1 issue for me. I even stand in front of Planned Parenthoods with graphic fetus posters. They are all blind. Paul is by far the best pro-life candidate there is. That is why I first signed on to support him.

Why is abortion the #1 issue for you? My number one issue is freedom. I want small government so I can have my civil liberties back.

I personally believe that determining whether abortion constitutes an "act of agression" is, legally at least, a decision that should be left up to the states. Although I personally believe that life begins at conception, I also recognize that that type of life has no consciousness and feels no pain.

Pro-lifers remind me of those that are for the drug war in that they feel they must intrude into others lives to "save them". Also reminds me of those that want to ban guns so that "crime goes down". It's the type of shit that brings about big government.

I agree with Paul because his stance is legally correct, not because of some crusade to save innocent "lives". I would lose a lot of respect for the man if he wanted a nation-wide ban on abortion (because that is not legally correct, and I know that if that were legal that is what he would probably want). If there were such a candidate supporting a ban such as that (which would not be legal), does that mean you wouldn't support Paul anymore?

This country elected Bill Clinton, twice. Christian fundies do NOT control who is president. Yes, they are influencial, but so are the Democrats. Do not forget the GENERAL ELECTION.

I'm horrified at every candidate but Ron Paul. The rest of them are all socialists. The rest of them have expressed undying support for the muderous Zionist state of Israel. The same Zionists who spy on the US, sell our military technology to China, and do nothing but spread their vile, racist hatred all over the world. These people have hijacked OUR government. These maniacs want us to bomb Iran and start a nuclear war.

Ron Paul is the ONLY candidate who gives a shit about our sovereignty. He's the ONLY candidate who has any grasp of economics. We are under attack from the New World Order and our economy is being DELIBERATELY crashed.

The USA is being destroyed by treason from within, and abortion is the chief issue for Iowa Republicans? And, Democrats wouldn't know the constitution if they fell over it.

GOD, I hope New Hampshire is WAY different.

Not to get off topic, but holding photos of dead fetus's will not change a thing. We need to make sure our children are educated and that our citizens are able to make a living wage so they can afford to have children. Once many of the improvements a candidate like Ron Paul would bring to our country are implemented, I would be willing to wager that abortion rate will go down on its own. This is because abortion is not the root problem, it is a result of many societal and cultural problems. The people that hold signs outside of abortion clinics are worse than the people that are walking into them. It is not a "life" issue, it's an education issue.

Tell Evangelicals Richard Hass of CFR is one of his advisers and I bet you'll see a large amount of them jump ship.

im pro-life. pro-MY-life. f***ing-A. Wouldnt you know that those helpful Iowan folk that literally are citing bible verses to support a huck presidency have helped all of us a great effing deal. Maybe i am an elitist because im believing more than ever you should take a fucking IQ test to be deemed worthy to vote, rather than collectively smashing our bloodied faces into the proverbial anvil of willful ineptitude.

My car broke down in Iowa this past summer, rode me for 2K$ worth of repairs. i suppose god smote me for sympathizing with those nasty, unworthy of living pro-choicers.

If you think about it, our system really encourages a few intelligent elite to control and dominate the masses.

If the majority of people are of average IQ 100 intelligence, then wouldnt it be easy for a IQ 150 to come in and manipulate the situation and mislead the sheeple?

But see, this is why we have delegates to attempt to partially remedy this problem.
But there really is no comprehensive fix to this loop hole in our process.

When they figure out they have to give their children over to fight their stupid wars maybe they will wake up!!

Why bother saving them in the womb to kill them in the war....

That's as good of a "sound bite" as I've ever heard one.

Pro life folks have NO IDEA how much that enrages younger women who don't want government making them afraid they cannot have control over their bodies. Morality cannot be forced. You can only win this issue by making women feel secure and supported. It is the WORST issue of all to hang a campaign on. Half of the women in this country are Democrats. They are a force to be reckoned with. Liberal Republican women, same thing.

Thank you for your ministry Benaiah. You've got more guts than me.

I wish my fellow Christians would also see Paul's pro-life record. Then I wish they'd do a little research and see where Paul and Huck stand on other issues. I think they'd find that for the most part their values would align more with Dr. Paul.

The problem is we have moved so far from the original plan of the founders that we cannot even remember it. So something like abortion is totally polarizing because it becomes an all or nothing issue. It is really a state issue, not a federal issue. It should never have become a federal issue in the first place.

For those bored enough to know, the #1 issue for all of the Huckabee supporters at my caucus tonight:

Abortion.

That's it, they really wern't concerned about much else.

Did you not point out to them that Ron Paul is far stronger on abortion than Huckabee?

They are not intelligent, they are cunning. Just like the serpent in Genesis 3.

If I know something you don't know, and we are both playing the same game, I'm going to look like a genius just because I have inside knowledge.

Don't ever confuse deviousness with intelligence.

Look at the way this election is being manipulated. We see parts of it through a glass darkly, most don't see it at all. But, those behind the scenes know exactly what they are doing.

Well this matters because we will need to appeal to this constituency in the South.
