He was one of the seven who raised his hand indicating he believed in evolution during the TV debate this spring. According to one reddit story I saw, he said something like “God created us, but who knows for sure how”. I don’t think Paul has much of a chance at the evangelical vote with Romney and especially Huckabee out there.

But does Ron Paul accept evolution? Or is it just a ‘theory’?

you shouldn’t forget that openly interpreting something is dangerous because you can justify quiet a lot of things with the constitution. the current administration believes that they’re behaving constitutionally as well…

That’s why I also mentioned most gun used in crime these days are illegal ones. I think the number is 1%, too lazy to find the link. I am actually a democrat but I believe finding solution through understanding of the real problem. For example, I see most people talk about increase in income disparities in the US, and blaming on the policy of the US government. However, there are also studies suggested that one of the main contribution factors has to do with broken families and low income families having too many children while rich families has less children. If that’s the cause, then it will be extremely hard for the government to solve it because you just can’t stop people having children without violating their civil rights.

Well, I think most rank and file Democrats will vote for a Democrat over a Republican in the general election, but they are still, for the most part, against the Iraq War, as are many Independents and Republicans now. But Democratic voters have been against the war for a long time. That was the single biggest issue when I went canvassing around my West Philly neighborhood in 2004. It was a big reason behind Howard Dean’s rise in 2003. Of course, Kerry won, but he was also selling himself as an anti-Iraq War candidate, even though he voted for the war. It was why Lieberman lost the Democratic primaries in Connecticut. He won in the general election as an independent by getting much of the Republican vote and enough of the Democratic and Independent vote. I’m not really happy with any of the candidates now, though I would vote for any of the Democrats–even Hillary (though she is definitely not my first choice. I would prefer Obama, Edwards, Dodd, Kucinich, Richardson) over pretty much any of the Republican candidates. I remember a lot of people back in 2000 saying there was no different between Gore and Bush. They said the same thing about Kerry and Bush. I don’t believe that for a moment, even though Gore wasn’t exactly talking the same kind of talk he is talking today. Still, I know a lot of Democrats, including myself who were attracted to McCain, and would have been torn if it had been Gore v. McCain. As of 2004, I still thought it would be good if Kerry and McCain had run together. My views of McCain have changed considerably since then. As for Ron Paul. If by a miracle he is the Republican candidate, I’m sure there will be Democrats and Independents that are attracted to him. Most likely, though, the Republican candidate will be Romney or Gullianni or Huckabee (he’s the real surprise)–maybe McCain. But I guess only time will tell.

not surprising. Dennis Kucinich is a reminder to Hillary especially, and to a somewhat lesser extent Obama and Edwards, just how far they have betrayed the values of the Democrat party.

This is really sad. The day after I posted this, it was announced that the Democrats have decided to exclude Kucinich from the next debate.

arty,

oh and finally don’t forget that the people interpreting the constitution are the same people who have used more world resources than any civilization, EVER, through out history combined (Lester R. Brown, Plan B 2.0).

No one is advocating the prohibition of guns but the sensible regulation of guns. The NRA is against the most obvious safety measures like background checks, waiting periods. They equate these safety measures with an effort to ban all guns and to undermine civil liberties. It’s pathetic. They won’t even compromise.

Kucinich is my hero because he got a beautiful and smart wife (my God, she worked with mother Teresa!)

First, US constitution is not perfect, and don’t forget the people who wrote it are all slave owners.

I believe our constitution meant to allow everyone to have guns. Also, most guns used to kill these days are illegally owned. So it really doesn’t matter you outlaw it or not. It is fine to require checks for purchasing guns but there shouldn’t be any gun prohibition. In addition, most people who really owns a lot of guns, you won’t even know it. My best friend has over 60+ guns in a safe storage facility and zero in his house.

Sorry, I’m still new to this commenting thing. The Kucinich article from the Cleveland paper is here:
