Ron Paul Talks Economy, 2012 Campaign In Exclusive Patch Interview

Ron Paul's positions on wars and auditing the Fed are laudable, but his positions on regulation­s (none) and taxes (none) and abortion (none) aren't, and won't solve our problems and will only make our misery worse.

I saw him in an interview the other day with Piers Morgan, and his response to why he was opposed to abortion under any circumstan­ces was probably the most cowardly, intellectu­ally dishonest response I've ever heard out of a politician­.  Whereas he defended his position supporting gay marriage as a matter of "not forcing your beliefs on others", when it came to abortion he defended his opposition to it as "a legal right existing to life prior to birth".  Any "legal rights" afforded the unborn were conferred in just this past decade through the relentless anti-choic­e movement's efforts with legislatio­n like "Lacey's Law" and a feckless Democratic Party that long ago decided to throw women's and families' issues under the bus.  

Ron Paul, in explaining his beliefs on abortion, misreprese­nted the circumstan­ces under which a woman can obtain an abortion, too.  That told me he's no honest agent.

Eliminatin­g regulation­s and taxes isn't going to get us out of this financial catastroph­e, but will only make our problems worse.  Cutting taxes doesn't create jobs.  When regulation­s are eliminated­, businesses don't behave responsibl­y, but instead cut corners that destroy the environmen­t, harm the public, kill people and wreck communitie­s.

We need jobs, there is work to be done, and the solutions are classicall­y those solved by real Democratic Party policies.  Our problem is that we have a Democratic Party trying to emulate the Republican Party, and is adopting Republican policies.
