Why is that? This country was founded on that principle, and many politicians say that we should be strict. There the ultimate papers of democracy and freedom. The founders of whom were one of the smartest people advised us to be strict to the document. We have been drifting further away from it ever since its creation, and look at whats happening in this country slowly but surely.

People like Ron Paul should be praised for actually looking to make a change, as opposed to the usual politics of the two big parties. You can be sure the change won't come from Obama; we should be glad there's actually some people out there willing to stick out their necks. Or, to put it in a familiar context: within a few years, you guys will feel either deceived by your candidates who promised change, or you'll stick your heads in the sand like "Real" American. So go ahead, and blame Ron Paul for being different. Yeah, fuck having people who actually express their true visions through democracy, instead of being a bunch of yes-men! Ron Paul should be banned from the campaign! ::) :grumpy:

I praise Ron Paul for what he's done. Props to him and his followers.
The polices in the last 8 years have been heavily favored to the neo-conservatives, apart from the last two. Obama can't bring an extreme change, but you can't deny that he'll have a strong impact in domestic polices. Why? Well he's going to be able to work with a Democratic Congress. Bill Clinton didn't even have that, and that's why it was pretty hard for him to get things done. He's also going to nominate 2-3 Supreme Court Justices. We can't let a Republican take office and nominate even more conservatives to the Supreme Court, it will end up being extremely favored to the right. Roe V Wade can be overturned if McCain gets elected.

McCain wont do shit....but Roe V Wade needs to be overturned. it should be a state issue.
It's not about nominating conservatives or liberals to the supreme court, one just needs to be a strict contistionlist and most progressives and neocons are not

You're taking an ideal approach to the Supreme Court situation. Do you really want to leave it up each State?

well I'm pro-life but abortion should be handled at a local level, the federal government shouldn't be the enforcer. Just like many other shit.
--- End quote ---
It should be handled at the most local level period: the individual. The Federal government isn't forcing the young woman to have the abortion, it's just giving her the option to do so. A lot of States will take that right away, not because of Federal vs State but because of Religion.

It doesn't matter. If you look at the ideals and the fundamentals of liberty and freedom, those are timeless and the reason that this country was founded. That can never be outdated.

yeah exactally, unless you want to become less free and more fascist..
and for abortion, states should retain jurisdiction, in accordance with the U.S. Constitution. The ninth and tenth amendments to the US Constitution do not grant the federal government any authority to legalize or ban abortion and shouldn't be the rule maker. It's not all about religion. its an act of aggression towards a fetus which is alive, cant argue that.
