Ron Paul Says Social Issues Are A Loser For Republicans (Video)
-
This about the worst thing a Republican candidate for President could say. I do not see how Ron Paul thinks this is going to endear him to the Republican base. From CNS News:
Rep. Ron Paul (R.-Texas.), who is seeking the Republican presidential nomination, told Candy Crowley on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday that social conservatism is “a losing position” for the Republican Party.
“Do you–are you uncomfortable–certainly Rick Santorum is the one who has been in the forefront of some of this talk on social issues, but there have been others in the race,” Crowley asked Paul. “Are you uncomfortable with this talk about social issues? Do you consider it a winning area for Republicans in November?”
“No,” said Paul. “I think it’s a losing position.
“I mean, I talk about it because I have a precise understanding of how difficult problems are to be solved,” Paul continued. “And they’re not to be at the national level. We’re not supposed to nationalize these problems. The founders were very clear that problems like this, if there needs to be legislation of sorts, the state has the right to write the legislation that they so choose. And that solves a lot of our problems.”
Ron Paul, making it so easy to not support him.

Everything seemed to make sense to me but hey, I'm not like everyone else. Maybe some people think that handing out condoms is worse than Iran getting a nuclear weapon. I might have it all wrong; I mean why should the deficit and jobs come before women's birth controll pills in a national dialogue? Stupid me and Ron Paul!
But Paul does not seem that concerned about Iran getting nuclear weapons. If the economy some how gets better between now and November, social issues will be key.
…IF… being the operative word.
