Alright, HHB, i know you think I'm a pussy, but hopefully I can say this sternly enough for you to take me seriously.

Why don't you just make points? Does everyone routinely have 15 webpages open?

All this pro-Santorum talk is trolling, right...?

Right?

I guess some people do support him, or he'd not still be in the race. Personally, I'm probably still going to vote Obama, but I do like to really compare and contrast candidates to make a decision before I vote.

What I've gotten from the Republican debates, as far as candidates I am most likely to consider supporting:

Jon Huntsman > Ron Paul >>> Mitt Romney >> Newt Gingrich > Rick Perry > Rick Santorum.

But that's just me.

I think Hunstman is the only one that I'd seriously consider voting for, because Ron Paul trying to adapt a Libertarian platform to a Republican-friendly one is just grating.

Dr. Paul finished second tonight! As for the racist thing, I think Paul feels that a man should have the freedom to be racist, but if that man takes action and harms another man, then it becomes a problem.

Second place finish in NH is huge. You already knew Romney was going to take 1st, it's HIS state... NH was a race for second from the start. Top-tier finishes in both Iowa and NH for Ron Paul are a huge victory. South Carolina will be the real test.

As for your take on the race thing, I get what you're saying, but I don't like the way you put it. I agree, that while racism is morally wrong, the government should have zero role in trying to enforce diversity and integration. Letting those things happen on their own is the only way we'll ever achieve true harmony as a society. In that aspect I agree with Dr. Paul, as I do about 90% of the time.

Why don't you like the way I put it? I too think that racism is morally wrong. But if someone wants to be racist, that's their choice.

You just make it sound like it's no big deal to be racist. When in fact, it is. But that's a social matter, not a federal one.

Well it's very ignorant to be racist. If you're racist and you don't verbally or physically harm anyone who you are prejudiced against, then I don't think it is a big deal. In a way it is, but you're entitled to believe what you want. And as long as you don't exercise those beliefs in a harmful manner, then Its not that big of a deal, in my opinion. You're only harming yourself with your own ignorance. Unfortunately most racist people usually will exercise that racism in a harmful way.

If that were true the government would never have needed to enforce anything, left on its own we'd just see more minorities being forced into ghettos.

I actually do agree with RVCA in one sense: The whole purpose of a debate is to debate differing arguments. If someone believes differently from you, when you talk about it, that is debating.

Now, bringing semantics and whatnot into it seems like cheap shots, but different people debate in different ways.
