It's not an admission from the government that they believe God wants to have sex with you if a Mormon says he believes this.

Why would you think any different of this?

I'm sort of confused by your post.

Could you elaborate for us?

If someone from the government says something, it's best both not to trust him on his word, as well as not to trust his word as the word of the whole government.

The point was made that this ad may not be officially endorsed by Paul. I was trying to discuss the content more than the connection to RP 2012.

I agree that the context of anyone's statements are important, and should be taken into account before making judgement. From what I can tell, this video was not edited in a way to exclude information that would change the context of his statements.

If you can provide information to the contrary, I would be grateful if you would add it to this thread. I have not been able to find such information and considering Newts history of making stupid/outrageous comments I am willing to believe that he made this statement and the context is up to the viewer to interpret.


I'm not sure how you can say any of the above based purely and simply on that video. Almost if not every sentence is a separate edit with no context to the question or sentence that precedes it or follows it. If you really don't see that than that I love Ron Paul headband is slipping down over your eyes again.

The fact it says Ron Paul 2012 is important if you think it is or not. It means that it was made by a(nother) obsessive looking to score points against his opponents by placing specific sentences in a video without allowing the viewer to understand the context in which they were made.

I've no skin in this, but I know if the same thing was done with Ron Pauls comments (legalise drugs, prostitution etc.) then some people on here would be calling for the creator of the video to have an appointment with noose ASAP.

Another member added the unedited video, and I still had issue with his comments. It's all in the eye of the beholder I guess.

Some people believe he was trying to be humorous, others believe it was a moment of honesty and insight into an elitist's train of thought.

I do support Ron Paul's candidacy. I will not deny it, but I believe that comment you quoted left the conversation open for opposing facts and opinions.

Please re-read my statement that you quoted. I don't think I could be any more open to the subject.

Thanks!
