Though they are still trying, it is much harder for the MSM to trivialize Ron Paul this time around. So instead they are twisting his words and trying to portray him as someone who has no compassion, would turn the clock back to 1964 on civil rights, would make our streets awash with legalized heroin, would make it a federal crime to have an abortion, etc. - all of which are utter hogwash.
What they cannot twist about Ron Paul:
* He has never voted to raise taxes
* He has never voted for an unbalanced budget.
* He has never voted for a federal restriction on gun ownership.
* He has never voted to raise congressional pay.
* He has never taken a government-paid junket.
* He has never voted to increase the power of the executive branch.
* He voted against the Patriot Act.
* He voted against regulating the Internet.
* He voted against the Iraq war.
* He does not participate in the lucrative congressional pension program.
* He returns a portion of his annual congressional office budget to the U.S. treasury every year.
When you liberal left socialists start lying it gives others the chance to bring out the truth.....So I thank you for the opportunity.
So here's the truth spoken by Ron Paul himself.
At the GOP YouTube debate in St. Petersburg, Florida, on Nov 28, 2007, Ron Paul was asked what a women would be charged with if abortion becomes illegal and she obtains an abortion anyway:
“The first thing we have to do is get the federal government out of it. We don’t need a federal abortion police. That’s the last thing that we need. There has to be a criminal penalty for the person that’s committing that crime. And I think that is the abortionist. As for the punishment, I don’t think that should be up to the president to decide.”

Thanks again for the opportunity to bring forth the truth. I know it's far above your head, and twiki's head, who not long ago wanted the rest of us to pay for her two grown sons [with college educations] healthcare until they were 26 years old.
The days of the hand outs to the left are over, and most people with any reasoning ability welcome Ron Paul, and what he stands for.
