Entry: Ron Paul Rising Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/ron_paul_rising#8278 Post contents: Joe said, "...the anti-war majority in the at party will come home to whoever the Democrats nominate on election day because of their committment to the social issues." I gues he meant the D's will vote for the candidate they're given because they'll have no where else to go on the social issues. I have a lot of sympathy for this argument. I cannot see how the health needs of the majority of people in this country can be addressed unless there is some kind of universal payer program, that is, where the government pays for the work done by the existing medical system instead of the balkanized insurance systemn we have now. I am very supportive of Paul's position on the war. I support many of his ideas that point us back to the Constitution. But, I cannot see but Democrats would find it difficult if not impossible to support him because it seems he wouyld eliminate federal involvement in the health care system. I can't see how this would be counted as an improvement by most Democrats. To sum up, if I'd vote for any Republican it would be for Paul because of his anti war view. But he would be a tough sell because he does not seem to be talking about how less government is going to get people health care and jobs. If I was advising the paul campaign, I'd start talking to D's and independents about how less could be more. Sent at: 2008 07 06
