So, all 57 states now have Senators and Reps?
Conservative?
Depends on your defininition of conservative
In reality He is a libertarian. And he blames the US for 9/11.
No thanks. I won’t support either Paul.
As a US Representative, what did he accomplish in congress?
“conservative” only in the sense of consistently being and voting in favor of limited, constitutional government, and being pro-life, and in favor of securing our borders. Apart from that, he’s a total leftist.
Not there!
Great database.
Omits the Speaker of the House!
Good for him. I wish Ron Paul a long and happy life
“...consistently being and voting in favor of limited, constitutional government, and being pro-life, and in favor of securing our borders”: That’s enough for me! I wish we had more like him!
Nice how two liberal professors tell us who is Conservative.
On the other hand, the American Conservative Union ranks Paul as one of the least Conservative congressmen. He is also one of the least accomplished congressmen only having 4 bills pass including a bill on commemorative coins, giving a congressional medal to a baseball player in his district, and his only real accomplishment, the audit bill. He is also one of the bigger porkers, constantly earmarking tens of millions.
If only we had a few hundred more like him, they could really accomplish something!
LOL, you are kidding right. Pro life in that he doesn't think the federal government has the role of protecting life so he votes against pro-life bills. Securing borders in the sense that he compared the border fence to the Berlin Wall and voted against using military assets on the border. Constitutional in the way that he picks and chooses what he likes and proclaims himself some sort of Constitutional hero when he is nothing but a joke.
Blamed America, conspiracy truther loon, drug pusher, racist, isolationist, wants to close ALL US foreign military bases, teamed up with RINO Romney to attack the conservatives running. To call that nutcase a conservative is an insult to conservatism.
Good riddance nutjob Paul.
100 x 0 is still ZERO.
You can stop right there. Rand Paul is exactly what we need right now. The people who are against him generally want more federal involvement in their pet areas (while proclaiming to be against government expansion).
From his website: I believe that the primary Constitutional function of the federal government is national defense, bar none. I believe that when we must go to war, we must have a Congressional declaration of war as the Constitution mandates, and we fight to win. And we must fight only under US Command and not the UN.
Rand is not Ron. From most indications, Rand is not an insane Liberaltarian like his father.
Umm.
He co-sponsored H.R. 645 in the 108th Congress to amend United States Code Title 36, to designate the square dance as the national folk dance.
Because as all Constitutionalists know: Square Dance = Commerce Clause.

That is the one I keep forgetting.
Paul’s four successful bills.
Square dancing
Commemorative coins
Congressional medal to a baseball player
Audit the fed
Well hey, ZERO would be far better than the monumental damage Congress has been doing to us every year! How about ZERO Obamacare, ZERO TSA, ZERO income taxes, etc.?
