How is Romneycare doing these days?

Paul will do better than anyone expects, even better than those voting for him. We just have to get our vote heard.

You know right off the bat, there is going to be a run off.

So you support socialism. OK.

No the tea party dislike for Obama has everything to do with his policies and nothing to do with anything else.

I don't support socialism. I'm a Constitutionalist, which means I'm anti-socialist in nature. If a state wants to implement its own universal healthcare program NHS style, Canadian style, or RomneyCare style is up to its voters entirely. I won't be happy about it because it creates government dependence, but at least it falls under one of the 10th Amendment powers of the states.

So if a state wants to ban all guns, you are ok with that too.

By the way, you are confusing Constitutionalists with state rights advocates.

States can't ban all guns because it violates the 2nd Amendment. I think you forgot that I typed as long as it follows the U.S. Constitution then it's ok. Banning guns does not follow the USCON.

No, I'm not.

The hypocrisy of the right regarding Romneycare is astounding. Can't say I'm surprised, these are the same folks who chant "Government out of Medicare"

How is it? RomneyCare is constitutional. That's already been established. It falls under the 10th Amendment. The right-wing that are against ObamaCare are probably against it because it's Obama, not knowing that it's unconstitutional in the first place because it is not one of the powers the Feds have. For that reason I too believe Medicare and SS should not exist on the federal level.

Or got a poor education in US history.

Default Ron Paul wins Republican Leadership Confrence

Ron Paul wins RLC straw poll - Jonathan Martin - POLITICO.com

2nd biggest Straw Poll. Some of Paul's supporters had tickets paid for, but Huntsman, Bachmann, Cain, Santorum and Pawlenty paid for tickets and buses. Apparently the majority of Paul votes were from previously undecided voters. I only say this, because everyone likes to say "Oh, it was fixed" or that it was toploaded somehow.

The presidential campaign doesn't start until December, and I'm sure LaRouche is well aware of that.

Only an idiot would start campaigning now.
