The Technocrat

1. I do not have a problem with anyone supporting Ron Paul
2. I suspect many of Ron Paul’s supporters have not investigated his positions in earnest
3. Ron Paul doesn’t belong in today’s Republican party which, as near as I can tell, stands for the following: an endless war in Iraq; profligate spending; violation of a woman’s right to choose
4. It is a testament to how far the Republican party has fallen that many who support Paul view him has their party’s new standard-bearer
5. Simply because a candidate says the exact opposite of many of his party’s supposed front-runners doesn’t necessarily mark him as “brave” or “courageous”
6. Simply because a candidate foolishly suggests we can leave a mess that was started by our current president doesn’t make him correct
7. How can a supposed “libertarian” presume freedom stops at a woman’s body?
8. How can a doctor suggest a woman doesn’t have a right to determine what happens to her body?
9. If all of Paul’s positions were adopted, how would roads be built, our environment be protected, crime be stopped? True libertarians believe in the power of the individual to the detriment of everyone
10. Ron Paul raised $5m yesterday. Americans spent the equivalent amount on lattes, cigarettes, and Viagra over the same period
