great endorsement

I liked this line:

They are people who have had enough of the IRS, the BATFE, and a thousand other federal agencies that have "erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance." (Declaration of Independence)

Great article... I should email this to my friends and family who are Christians and Catholics.

money quote:

"For example, Mike Huckabee recently said he could support any of the other Republican Presidential contenders (including Rudy Giuliani), except Ron Paul. That means, Mike Huckabee would rather support a pro-abortion, pro-gay marriage, pro-gun control liberal such as Giuliani than support the pro-life, pro-traditional marriage, pro-Second Amendment candidacy of Ron Paul. Why is that?"


I think we need to get the word out to Christians about this. Most of the people supporting him would probably be disgusted by the idea of him endorsing a pro-abortion candidate.

I'll drop it in one of the endorsement threads and one of the threads about christians.

[RonPaulVolunteer]

He's been endorsing Paul for some time now and has written many articles like this one.

It's generally OK, and would definitely help with the Evangelical vote, but I don't like the strident, somewhat demagoguing tone on the social issues, like with this bit;

"For example, Mike Huckabee recently said he could support any of the other Republican Presidential contenders (including Rudy Giuliani), except Ron Paul. That means, Mike Huckabee would rather support a pro-abortion, pro-gay marriage, pro-gun control liberal such as Giuliani than support the pro-life, pro-traditional marriage, pro-Second Amendment candidacy of Ron Paul. Why is that?"

The social issues can be very divisive, and using inaccurate terms like "pro-abortion" to describe people who have principled disagreements with Federal anti-abortion legislation doesn't help much either (I'm pro-life myself, BTW). We're building a vast coalition, and the last thing we want is to alienate anybody.

I liked it because I could sense the passion behind the words.

The man believed what he was saying, and then declared he was making a stand.

At some point the crescendo of passionate rhetoric almost made the content an after-thought.

I think you have a valid point, and that the article isnt a "hook-all" that is going to win over everyone that reads it. Placed in the right hands tho, I think it is very powerful.
