The gay marriage is a interesting topic because it brings to light a few quirks in legal system in terms of ethics.

People will generally discriminate against another group of people if they don't share equal privileges under the law. So if gay marriage was to become a legal right, you'd see a lot less gay discrimination not solely based on marriage rights. It's like a switch gets turned on in people's heads. Of course, if marriage didn't have a legal status, none of this would even matter.

Same with citizenship. It's really the same legal and ethical question. Why can't people move and love where ever they want to without being discriminated against? If I live in Mexico, and I want to buy a house in America to live and work, why do I need a legal status to do it? After all, certainly moving isn't inherently a criminal act and the constitution recognizes mobility as a human right.

I wonder what would happen to race discrimination if citizenship laws were just to disappear.

Ron Paul falls

Ron Paul announced Monday that his campaign will no longer spend money on presidential nominating contests due to lack of funds, effectively ending his campaign for the Republican nomination.
Paul wrote the following in an open letter to supporters:
Our campaign will continue to work in the state convention process. We will continue to take leadership positions, win delegates, and carry a strong message to the Republican National Convention that Liberty is the way of the future. Moving forward, however, we will no longer spend resources campaigning in primaries in states that have not yet voted. Doing so with any hope of success would take many tens of millions of dollars we simply do not have.
Paul, the only Republican presidential candidate actively campaigning against front-runner Mitt Romney, encouraged his supporters to continue their involvement in the presidential race as well as down-ballot races across the country, and to spread his message of lower spending and the protection of individual liberties. He stressed that he will continue working to win delegates.
"In the coming days, my campaign leadership will lay out to you our delegate strategy and what you can do to help, so please stay tuned," Paul wrote. He stopped short of an outright suspension, an option all of his fellow competitors (besides Romney) have chosen.
Two weeks ago, Paul and his supporters cheered Paul's delegate wins in Maine and Nevada. But as Yahoo News reported, those wins didn't necessarily move Paul any closer to winning his party's nomination.
Paul has long touted a strategy to rack up delegates as a way to become a part of this summer's convention process, absent an outright win.
Paul currently has 104 delegates and Romney has 966, according to the Associated Press.
In recent weeks, Paul supporters have been increasingly vocal in their attacks on establishment Republicans, accusing them of employing "dirty tricks" to benefit Romney over Paul.
Paul's campaign attempted to quash the most recent attack Sunday by defending the Republican National Committee and Chairman Reince Priebus against accusations the party is violating Rule 11, which bans favoritism, by creating a joint fundraising committee with Romney in April.
Paul campaign chairman Jesse Benton reconfirmed in a statement Sunday that the Paul campaign was also invited by the RNC to set up a joint committee and declined.
"The RNC offered to set up a joint fundraising committee with the Paul campaign and were very clear that if Dr. Paul became the nominee, the Victory Operation would be behind him 100 percent," Benton said. "They also were clear that they would hold off if our campaign objected. I gave my full consent for the RNC to move forward."

Suicide prevention intervention for test123 stat!

**Melena** · 2012-05-14 16:16

inb4 test123 comes in saying this is all part of the master plan to steal the nomination from Romney

**kawaiiuzume** · 2012-05-14 16:35

The news didn't really do their homework here, a quick call into the campaign will tell you he is still running (he hasn't even suspended his campaign) but the letter he sent out to supporters was to inform them he will no longer be spending money on ad, etc. why? because the efficient money is spent on delegates (even the yahoo article says he is continuing to do) because that is all that matters the popular vote has never mattered ever other than some state binding rules which can be overturned at their own conventions or not matter due to the RNC's own rules.

lol ok

**Greatguardian** · 2012-05-14 18:49

It doesn't matter if the public doesn't vote for him. The system can vote for him anyways!

The system that likes to consistently pretend that Ron Paul doesn't exist? Yeah. Okay. Good luck with that.

Ron Paul's only chance in hell was the popular vote. He doesn't have that.

**Kerberoz** · 2012-05-14 19:28

Let's be realistic here:

...video evidence of every single other potential Republican candidate in a giant gay orgy, using aborted fetuses for lube, praying to Allah, then driving home in their hybrids. Even that might not have been enough, since Fox News would just call it a librul conspiracy.

And then Trump would swoop in out of left field and snag it.

**Shuvo** · 2012-05-14 20:56

He didn't drop out. He's just diverting all his money towards taking delegate positions, where he's doing much better, instead of primary votes. It's the most logical choice.

Good to know that Ron Paul supporters not only sound, but also look like Jehovah's Witnesses.

**Shuvo** · 2012-05-15 01:12

I know that guy has such an annoying voice and punchable face.

Also, I think this MSM announcement about RP dropping out might work in his favour. It will kill a lot of the motivation Romney supporters have to turn up, where before it might have been to try to keep Paul supporters from overwhelming them.

Demosthenes11 · 2012-05-15 01:24

So what you guys are ron pauling, is that ron paul ron paul ron paul?

cuz I always thought ron paul ron paul...

Demosthenes11 · 2012-05-15 16:16

Nomination hopes are over:

Did you actually read the article you posted or just skim? He said it was unlikely, not impossible. This has been the case from the beginning. RP himself said the exact same thing several weeks ago. Until Romney has 1144 delegates the campaign will go on.
