[Vision2020] Mitt Romney vs. Ron Paul on civil liberties

[Paul Rumelhart]

Yeah, I'm not personally crazy about his abortion views, but since he is the only candidate for whom the stopping of the Executive from gathering even more power to themselves is even on the radar, I'll have to take the bad with the good in this case.

If we can find another candidate who is against the Patriot Act, warrantless wiretaps, extraordinary rendition, Gitmo, and all the other atrocious legislation and over-reaching that has happened in the last decade or so, then maybe I would vote for them.  Romney is all for it.  Obama has talked a good game and then has been shown to be a supporter of this kind of power grab.  Is there any other candidate who is against it?

Paul

Of course, Paul won't hesitate to curb a woman's right to control her body:

guess it's not a civil liberty.

Mitt Romney on civil liberties and the Patriot Act:

tl;dr version: "Whatever it takes to save me from terrorists!"

Compare and contrast that with Ron Paul's thoughts on the Patriot Act:

or this excerpt of a talk he gave at Georgetown University:

Mitt Romney is more of the same.  Ron Paul might well be, too, for all I know, but at least there is a chance we can turn some of this around if he gets elected.
