Paul is not a conservative he is a libertarian.

Another non-conservative is Rick Santorum. Santorum supports subsidies for ethanol to prevent Global Warming, supports Arlen Specter over Pat Toomey, supports earmarks for Amtrak, triangulated his position on abortion in 1990, repeatedly voted to raise the national debt, got funding for community block development programs and so on.

A libertarian that many in the LP can’t stand.

I’d be hard pressed to call Ron Paul pro-life. He supports the use of the abortion pill RU-486.

Interesting....

Got some links ? I’m not doubting you, I’m still undecided.

I know who I’m NOT voting for (Paul, Perry, Huntsman, and Romney the Commie) but at this point, I have no idea who I’m voting FOR.

I agree. Screwy Lewy the Anarchist isn't good for much of anything. However, he's very meticulous when recording the rantings of his Fuhrer, much like Rudolf Hess was when he helped Hitler write Mein Kampf.

You are absolutely correct about FNC. It is a combination RINO-Neocon and does everything it can to destroy conservatives.

If I see Tokyo Rove and that stupid little white board one more time, I’m gonna scream.

I check them out here and there (What am I gonna do, watch PMSNBC ?) but I tune out after a few minutes.

Ron Paul is pro-choice for states on abortion. He thinks states' rights trump the unalienable right to life.

If a politician thought states' rights trumped your right to keep and bear arms, would you call them "pro-right to self-defense"? If they thought states could negate the First Amendment if they saw fit, would you call them "pro-free speech"?

Sure.
Santorum Pork for Traveler Advisory System
Santorum the bleeding heart who got funding for AIDS related charities and social services block grants
Santorum describes himself as progressive conservative in 1990 and opposes abortion only for period when fetus is considered viable, i.e., only in last three months
Santorum endorses Mittens (audio)
Santorum for ethanol and hybrid vehicles
Santorum for raising debt limits
Amtrak Pork

Please for clarification define conservatism

Tis our true policy to steer clear of permanent Alliances, with any portion of the foreign world.

Are we going to play the game which entails selectively quoting the Founding Fathers, as the Paultards often do ?

*SIGH*

Let’s try this another way: Name one Founding Father who would have blamed the US for 9/11.
