it is funny that an educated person believes in creationism

Especially a physician!

I could see how someone could believe in both creationism and evolution, but to reject evolution entirely is pretty ignorant for someone educated in biology!  There isn't enough proof to say that life spontaneously evolved out of primordial soup.  There is enough evidence to prove that the mechanism of evolution is a fact.  Maybe he just rejects the theory that evolution creates life based on his religious beliefs.

I don't think we should vote based on what church (or lack thereof) a candidate attends.

this position contradicts himself---he 'masquerades as a republican to get more votes, yet he doesn't get more votes because republicans don't see him as a true republican?

Quote:

Ron Paul has rarely been on my radar. Sure there were the anti-black/ anti-Semitic Newsletters which were published under his name (which he claimed he never read). And yes there were those really whacko public statements like; the federal reserve was behind Watergate, that Lincoln was wrong to push us into a Civil War over slavery, or his assertion that condemning the HAMAS terrorist rocket attacks promotes violence. But those items only suggest that the Texas Republican Congressman is a bigot as well as a bit of a lunatic, which not bad by today’s congressional standards.

Ron Paul is believed to be a “fiscal conservative” and if you ask him he will tell you that he has never voted for an earmark. That statement is 100% correct. What Paul does is to make sure that the earmarks he wants are put into a bill, and then he votes against the bill. Its the best of all possible worlds. He gets to bring home the bacon on a local basis and makes the anti-earmark claim on a national basis.

In fiscal 2009 Ron Paul sponsored or co-sponsored 23 earmarks totaling $80,775,750 ranking him the 33rd highest out of 435 representatives. (source: Open Secrets):

Because what they're voting for doesn't sit right with you?  How about for the dems and reps. it does sit right with?

I really do not want to get into this. The system is fucked. The whole fucking
thing is rotten and should be abolished. I surely do not have all the answers
but it is pretty clear to me.

"it does sit right with?"

It's working for all of the people I know who have been privileged enough to be born here.  What part isn't working for you? 

I'm content with our country but we must push on to make it cooler, more boss.
