Digg is funny in it's contradiction. On one hand, it's prides itself on being liberial. On the other, they're supporting a candidate who voted no to network neutrality, no to AMBER Alert, no to Kyoto Protocol, no to abortion , no to stem cell research, no to any trade agreement/WTO, no to alternative energy sources and supports unlimited intelligence powers for the goverment (but not Patriot Act, huh?). And whenever it gets mentioned on Digg, someone says that Ron Paul probably had a constitutional reason for voting no.
At least he opposes the death penalty. It's good to see consistency in the whole death penalty/abortion thing. I don't know about him. He's such a mixed bag. He just seems a bit overboard in all his issues. Jam it back in, in the dark. |

Funny he uses the 1st Amendment for his reason for voting against hate crimes, but doesn't seem to mind to vote for abstinence-only education or keeping mum about abortion. And he believes they should get extra funding for doing so. A bit of a contradiction, in my book.
There's no doubt he has created some buzz on the internet. But will that translate that to primaries and polls? Doubtful. The groupthink will fall apart when they're away from their Web 2.0 communities. There's nowhere I can't reach. |

Many of these abstinence-only educational programs are backed up by religious organizations, as noted here. It also penalizes agencies for not providing the wide spectrum of options.
I've been using the website below to see his views, http://www.ontheissues.org/TX/Ron_Paul.htm This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |

All of them mention receiving federal funding.

Nothing inherently establishmentarian, but how about in actuality? It's not like they don't know where this money is going.
I just don't understand his nature. For example, he states that their only 3 federal crimes in the Constitution, yet agrees with a ban on partial birth abortions. I just can't see that he's a strict Constitutionalist. It seems like a justification when he feels like it. I was speaking idiomatically. |
