I don't even need to argue how as an OBGYN he knows more about Women's Health than they do.. that is why they whip out their magical vaginas for him in their offices so he can tell the what is wrong or right with them.

Being an OBGYN makes him an expert on one aspect of women's health. It doesn't make him a woman, or an expert on women's health issues in general.

Ask women if they would be content to let male doctors dictate all aspects of women's healthcare in this country.

What is the main difference in health issues between women and men? Those dealt with by OBGYNs? And the sex of a doctor has nothing to do with their expertise on an issue.

All cancer patients wouldn't insist that only doctors who have had cancer dictate their treatment.

They'd insist on an oncologist, smarty pants. But seriously, way to miss the guys point. It never amazes me how Ron Paul fans never seem to see the self-evident.

Apparently because Ron Paul is OBGYN there is no need for discussion or debate of women's medical issues, we can just let Paul device for us.

Ron Paul is kooky because he subscribes to kooky economic theories.

He's not very intelligent. He's a racist. His domestic policies would end our nation as we know it. His isolationism is totally irrational. But he wants to decriminalize drugs so a lot of young people think he's cool. Oh and he meets up with the truth about as often as we see Halley's comet. Google him, for Christ's sake....

Libertarianism, which is merely redressed narcissism, has never worked in any government anywhere. Oh, other than maybe Somalia... if you call that "working."

Women's health issues go beyond having a different set of plumbing. As the founder of the National Women's Law Center says, "The health care industry and health care insurance in general has been riddled with the most discriminatory and unfair practices to women."

Overhaul Will Lower the Costs of Being a Woman

Discrimination Against Women in Healthcare

Women's Healthcare Disparities and Discrimination


Being an OBGYN does not guarantee you're sensitive to these issues.

I never made the argument, nor has RP, that simply because he is an OBGYN there should be no discussion women's health. Nice straw man. Try again.

Kooky economic theories? To say so shows your lack of knowledge of not only economics, Ron Pauls theories, but also of the history of economics and monetary policy.

He's not very intelligent? Well watch this Ron Paul's 2002 Predictions All Come True - Incredible Video! - YouTube

And racist? Really? How is RP racist?

And an isolationist? Then those who penned the constitution are isolationists.. really, please research things before you type your opinion out online. And Libertarianism worked just fine for America for the first half of it's history. READ A BOOK!

Was that the slavery half, or the half when women couldn't vote?
No that was the half when they committed genocide on the natives and stole their lands. That was one government pogrom most Americans didn't mind spending money on. Talk about bang for the Buck. They're still making movies about it!

I don't know what I'm really trying to achieve here. Uhm. Arguing with statists, to me, is a lot like arguing with creationists. They have so much blind faith in their governmental overlords. Hell, look at everyone turning a blind eye to Obama's atrocities in the Middle East, issuing the murder of an American civilian per dronestrike and 2 weeks later, the murder of his son. People don't care. No one cares. It's 'your guy' doing the killing, so you can wave your flag and yell USA, USA, while still not getting enough of bitching about Bush. Who (don't get me wrong is a monster is well), has far less blood on his hands. But yeah, let's blame Bush for what the current commander in chief is doing. It's not like Obama has the final say over the troops.. oh wait.

And libertarianism has never worked because it has never been applied, including in the old west. Even then, the market was fairly heavily regulated and several central banks were erected (and subsequently shut down... here's a nice tidbit about those evil bankers.. The American government started the second American central bank to fund the War of 1812, because those bloodthirsty bankers didn't want to lend money to the angelic American governmental to go into a war that the people didn't want).

Word, though. Paul's economic policies are insane. Let's take our word from the Nobel Prize winning economist PaulKrugman. His Keynsian policies are a blueprint for current American financial policy. Check this quote.

To fight this recession the Fed needs more than a snapback; it needs soaring household spending to offset moribund business investment. And to do that, as Paul McCulley of Pimco put it, Alan Greenspan needs to create a housing bubble to replace the Nasdaq bubble.

Compare that guys like Peter Schiff and Ron Paul, who predicted the housing bubble crash as early as 2002. A dollar bill from 1860 was worth more 50 years later because it was backed by gold. Why the FUCK would you wanna go back to something crazy like that?

And let's not forget. His isolationaism is definitely crazy as well. You know, let's forget that America used to be very highly regarded in the Middle East in the early 20th century. Syria even wanted to be GOVERNED by America at the time. All those warnings in the '50s about America's involvement in the Middle East are clearly bullcrap (as you can tell by the current resentmen tthere and 9/11) Pssh who cares! It's better to plant puppet dictators all over the world. Get involved! Ron Paul isolationism of wanting to open up trade and diplomacy with the world, rather than bombing them and funding corrupt governments would open America up to a lot of bloodshed.

Kooky economic theories? To say so shows your lack of knowledge of not only economics, Ron Pauls theories, but also of the history of economics and monetary policy.

Actually, you did suggest that there would be no point in discussing the matter.

What do you know about economics, huh? Paul's theories are kooky, even in economic circles. His subscription to austrian economics is the equivalence of Humor theory in medicine (Humorism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia). The gold standard is a joke and reflects an across-the-bar misunderstanding of mathematics.

Am I to believe you think that the whims of an international gold market will ensure greater stability and value in the american currency than central planning can afford? I'm sorry that you believe such foolishness.
