A Stitch in Haste

A self-standing comment I left on another blog in response to this video of Ron Paul at Iowa:

Based on this speech, the first item on his agenda is ... drum roll please ...

–abolish income taxes and the Fed? No.

–bring back the gold standard? No.

–reduce government spending? No.

–withdraw from Iraq? No. (!)

Instead, the first item on his agenda is to abolish all right to an abortion. Not even the deceptive canard of "sending it back to states," but an absolute fetal right to life, beginning at conception.

Go figure.

My response to a response that Iowa is very pro-life and Paul is merely taking that into consideration:

So Paul shifts his priorities based on the audience of the moment, and focuses on telling people what he thinks they want to hear.

And that makes him an "unusual politician" -- how?

Discuss.
