You mean...?
Forgot a "neither," it seems.
I'm sure that an anti-abortion guy is looking for endorsement from an obscure website that discusses active population control measures. Better to consider who ASPO would want to get behind, if anyone.
I'm waiting for a Catastrophic Emergency to make all this moot, anyway. Barring that you have Clinton and Rudy to pick from, shudder...BAU, my legions.
The Paul people are amazingly gung ho for their man though. I've seen entire vehicles covered with RP stickers, front back and sides.

Ron Paul most definitely does NOT understand Peak Oil.
On June 13,2006 Ron Paul voted NO on increasing AMTRAK funding by adding $214M to $900M.
| Quote: | Voting YES on this amendment would restore $214 million in funding for AMTRAK, bringing the total annual expenditure for AMTRAK to $1.114 billion. The chairman of the Railroad Subcommittee explained the increase as follows:
Unlike aviation, highways and transit, there is no dedicated funding for investing in our Nation's passenger rail service. This amendment restores $214 million to the Amtrak account, taking it to $1.114 billion, which is still about $300 million less than we had during the course of last year's discussion.
Last year the President sent up a budget of zero for Amtrak. We had an amendment process that we went through this time. This time we are up to $900 million in the bill [without this amendment].
But if you look at that $900 million, there is only $500 million for capital expenditures, out of which has to come a debt service of $280 million, which only leaves $220 million for the capital needs of this country for Amtrak, for passenger rail.
There is nothing for operation, and I know that the response to that is going to be that there are some incentive grants in the bill.
Opponents of the amendment say that it would increase funding for Amtrak by gutting and eliminating critical programs, including safety programs, resulting in reductions in force at several agencies.

Perhaps... but it's also the strongest evidence that he is totally unelectable.

Yes Peakoil.com should endorse Ron Paul.
Peak oil is mostly going to be an economic issue. Ron Paul will handle it better than anyone else. He wants to reduce the size of government tremendously, bring home our troops, abolish the Private Bank owned Federal Reserve, back our currency to gold and silver, and get rid of the income tax. The extra money Americans will have from that alone will go a long ways to helping post peak.
He also will help stablize our dollar and that will keep the price of oil going up froma weakening dollar.
He also will keep Americans from losing their freedoms post-peak which is very likely under another President.
He also will end our war conquests for oil which can only end badly for this nation.
Here are some must watch Ron Paul videos:

Absolutely NOT!!! Peak Oil is not a problem of too little petroleum. It is a problem of too many people. This fool wants to ban abortion and force women to have babies just so they can turn around and be one more person to starve. He's nothing but a theocrat in libertarian's clothing.

Smallpoxgirl,
If that's your argument on why Ron Paul shouldn't be president post peak sorry but it's pretty lame.
So him being a Pro-lifer is such a horrible, horrible thing that he's not qualified to lead the nation post peak?
Your perfect candidate has to enact one child policies and euthanasia for all people over 70?
The population will take care of itself after peak oil. Keeping America alive is the main problem I'm worried about. Ron Paul's financial policies will give America a fighting chance of not completely disentigrating.
He'll make sure we bring our military troops home and end the wars for oil.
The saved money from bringing the troops home and the elimination of many government programs will go a long ways to helping solve America's financial crisis. This will help the U.S. dollar and every citizen from becoming as poor as they otherwise would.
He'll also ensure we keep our freedoms and don't become a police state.
I'll vote for Ron Paul. Thank you!!
Everyone needs to watch:

And Furthermore you act as if having children is unavoidable. Don't want to have children ? The don't have sex. Or at least take one of the many precautions there are out there. |

Quit your whimpering chuck and clueless- SPG is absolutely right-
If Paul had his way- abortion would be illegal- then there would be millions more babies- great- just as we will no longer have the ability to feed them. So YOU pick- access to abortion or starvation down the road... |

I know that Ron Paul does indeed understand peak oil because I have had a personal discussion with him about it. |

WATCH THIS VIDEO:
Ron Paul for Life
Watch the first 30 seconds of this video and you'll see why Ron Paul is Pro Life.
He had a very bad experience with an abortion that even today influences his life.
He delivered 4,000 babies. You can't blame the man for his views.
