Don't be fooled.. Paul is no Conservative. Votes speak louder than rhetoric.

Ron Paul's 2006 American Conservative Union rating: 76% Lifetime Rating: 82.3%

Ron Paul's Voting Record (ya, ya, I know, there is an excuse for all of these, state's rights are more important than stopping abortion and fixing the border, Ronnie is making a statement, or everyone else was voting against it and he was just playing the game, yadda, yadda, yadda)

Here are some more ‘Conservative(sic)’ votes by Paul:

Voted NO on federal crime to harm fetus while committing other crimes.

Paul also supported the NAU superhighway by funding the TransTexas Corridor

So overbearing, intrusive government is fine as long as the conservatives get to decide who’s going to be overborne and intruded upon, right?

Do you want a President Hillary at the reins of a Congressional authorization to attack any nation anywhere in the world as long as she explains it within 48 hours, for example?
