I was very happy the next day to see Ron Paul on Jay Leno about just this thing, Leno thought it wasn't fair as well. He has raised the most in the 4th quarter and he did it NOT with lobby-ist money like most of the other candidates, but with fund raisers and donations.
As for "I do not think it was wise of him to take Rudy Giuliani to task about 9-11"... Giuliani does nothing but ride on the coat tails of 9-11. Yes, it was awful, yes it never should have happened, but that was 7 years ago....we've killed more innocent people then those who were killed that day, let the chaos of 9-11 stop. Let this country stop spending billions we don't have, stop our economy from falling into the abyss and stop living in fear of something that happened 7 years ago..it's time to step forward and let this country get back to what it was based on and stop alienating the rest of the world and killing innocent people.
That's my two cents anyway...GO RON PAUL!
Couldn't have said it better myself, PL - esp. that bit about Giuliani, who I think is a one-line wonder. Ron Paul is the only candidate with the policies that can restore America's reputation in the international arena. ie. stop wasting money by interfering with the internal affairs of other countries.
My Australian friends and I saw Ron Paul on the various TV debates, and were deeply touched by his intelligence and his ideas. Go Ron Paul!!!

He's anti-choice.
He is NOT anti-choice. While he, as an OB/GYN finds abortion personally abhorrent, I understand that he thinks it should be a STATE issue, not a FEDERAL one.
