What the cow, can there not be political discussion without 'you're mommas so fat', and 'I would like fries with that'?

In my opinion he's not a "real" candidate because he's not perceived as one. You turn on your TV, even before Romney and Santorum and Gingrich (Gingrich not so much) were doing so well and you never heard Paul's name. It's hard to win when nobody talks about you.

i certainly wont argue with that. bottom line is he wont win the republican nominee and i wont vote for him.

Paul has some legitimately good ideas. He also has some bat shit crazy ones. Same can be said for most all the candidates to some extent.

The problem is the media coverage is the game. Paul just lays his ideas out there, and wants people to judge them on the merits. I personally respect him for that, but that doesn't get your airtime in the media establishment, and makes it hard to get votes.

Plus this is the Republican primary. The only ways to move forward are:
- Outspend your opponents by massive amounts.
- Promise to return to Christian values.
- Say Muslim once in a while.

I don't think the gold standard is feasible. Other than that, I don't think he's got one idea that isn't solid.

He loses me when he plays the Constitutionalist card , yet wants to amend said document to make his personal beliefs part of it.

His energy polices are also questionable. When he blames high oil prices on domestic production regulations, he's clearly mislead.

I haven't seen his desire to amend the Constitution anywhere...can you point me to it?

See that, irony? I'm asking someone to dilute my kool aid.

He wants to end birthright citizenship, which is clearly defined in the 14th Amendment as any person born on US soil. This has been reinforced in Elk v. Wilkins and United States v. Wong Kim Ark. Any law passed to deny birthright citizenship would be nullified, so the only way to do that is by amendment.

I'm reading that as a way to combat "anchor babies". I agree with you on that, any person born here should be a citizen.

The term 'anchor baby' is pretty derogatory. It's not like aliens can come across the border, drop out a kid, then gain citizenship. A child can't sponsor their parents for citizenship until 18 or 21, I can't remember which. Of all the issues around immigration, this is not a major one in reality. Great talking point though.

However, it illustrates the dichotomy in his statements. If someone tells me they're a strict consititionalist blah blah blah, then wants to do things that would require amendment to accomplish, it's hard to take that person seriously.

What would you call having a child on US soil in any effort to at least make deportation more difficult? How do you figure "anchor baby" is derogatory?

Maybe it actually SHOULD be, because when you talk down on something, most good people tend to not do that thing.

I hadn't heard about the amendment, so that's a dent in the armor for sure, but what do YOU think this country needs to do to fix its economy? You rip apart all of the politicians pretty equally, what is your gut telling you?

No, but it makes things WAY more complicated and difficult when it comes to deporting or processing those parents otherwise.
It's defacto amnesty the way it's enforced. Because it's only enforced if one of the parents is a god damn felon.

It may not seem like a problem to you, but for parts of the country, like where I live, it's a major fucking problem.
If my daughter wasn't in a charter school she'd be in LAUSD in a class twice the size (30+ kids) of which a full third of the kids are ESL.

Maybe that's me being selfish, but something is wrong with that picture.

I'm not trying to imply that it's not an issue at all, sorry if it came out that way.

I'm saying that I don't think it rises to the level of Constitutional amendment to rectify it, and even if it does, the guy making the statement is running on a platform for following the Constitution, so stumping for something that required the document to be changed is a bit hypocritical. That's the larger point I'm trying to make, not an immigration debate.

egh, if someone claims to be a strict constitutionalist, I consider that to mean the original document and the bill of rights.
I don't think anyone is going to bat for the 18th amendment any more etc.
